Start up your virtual machine, then enter ip address (in the guest) and note the IP address assigned to your main network adapter.

Click on Network on the left and change the setting Adapter 1 > NAT to Bridged Adapter and click OK. Obviously this is the first time I've tried to use VirtualBox, so any help would be appreciated. Then, in VirtualBox Manager, make sure your machine is selected and click Settings. I made sure all users have read, write, and modify privileges to the VDI file associated with this machine, but no luck. Follow the on-screen instructions to run Ubuntu or to install it. Select the thumb drive or the DVD as boot option. This should open a HP Startup Menu which may look similar to this one Choose F9 to open Boot options. I looked at the session information, and one thing I noticed is that it reflects no bytes written. As soon as you press the power-on button, keep hitting the Esc button (like tap-tap-tap). Every time I try to install, it makes it as far as the screen that displays 'Lubuntu' with the scrolling dots underneath, runs for a few seconds then just hangs. Hyper V is disabled, and the BIOS virtualization setting (can't remember the name) is turned on. Virtualbox 6.0.0 (Previously tried 5.2.22 as well) Host runs on SSD, VMs will run on internal 1TB 'spinny drive' Win10 Home (clean install, no manufacturer bloatware) I'm trying to install a lightweight but user friendly linux distro to re-acquaint myself with Linux. I've searched high and low, and I must be missing something painfully basic because apparently installing Ubuntu or its variants is a super simple task yet I cannot get it to work.

Cannot install ubuntu on virtualbox
