https://www.nakivo.com/blog/install-ubuntu-on-virtualbox-virtual-machine/
- Create a new VM with dynamic disk space
- Download a Guest OS ISO image to a USB drive
- Install the Guest OS from the USB for the VM
- Open your VM settings and go to the Storage section. Select your virtual controller used for connecting a virtual DVD drive (by default a virtual DVD drive is empty). Click the Empty status and in the right pane near the IDE Secondary Master, click the disc icon. In the menu that appears, click Choose Virtual Optical Disk File and browse your Ubuntu installation ISO image file (ubuntu-18.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso)
- Boot Ubuntu from the USB stick
- Once the new VM is prepared for installing Ubuntu on VirtualBox, start the VM (Machine > Start). The VM boots from the ISO Ubuntu installation image. The first screen that you can see after booting is the Welcome screen.
- click Install Ubuntu
- select Normal installation. A web browser, utilities, office applications and media players are installed.
- Erase disk and install Ubuntu. This is the default option. All disk space will be automatically allocated to Ubuntu.
- Who are you? Enter your user name, computer’s name, and set the password. Select Require my password to log in for a higher level of security
- When install complete, restart your VM with Ubuntu on VirtualBox.
Install Guest additions inside Guest OS
As mentioned in chapter 1.2, Some Terminology, page 2, the Guest Additions are designed to be installed inside a virtual machine after the guest operating system has been installed. They consist of device drivers and system applications that optimize the guest operating system for better performance and usability. See chapter 3.1, Supported Guest Operating Systems, page 45 for details on what guest operating systems are fully supported with Guest Additions by Oracle VM VirtualBox.
The Oracle VM VirtualBox Guest Additions for all supported guest operating systems are provided as a single CD-ROM image file which is called VBoxGuestAdditions.iso. This image file is located in the installation directory of Oracle VM VirtualBox. To install the Guest Additions for a particular VM, you mount this ISO file in your VM as a virtual CD-ROM and install from there.
4.2.1.1 Installing the Windows Guest Additions
In the Devices menu in the virtual machine’s menu bar, Oracle VM VirtualBox has a menu item Insert Guest Additions CD Image, which mounts the Guest Additions ISO file inside your virtual machine. A Windows guest should then automatically start the Guest Additions installer, which installs the Guest Additions on your Windows guest.
For other guest operating systems, or if automatic start of software on a CD is disabled, you need to do a manual start of the installer.

- After the operating system reboot, install VirtualBox Guest Additions, which is a set of drivers and system utilities intended to improve usability and VM performance as well as tight integration with a host OS
- In the VM window, go to Devices and hit Insert Guest Additions CD image. The ISO disc image that is located in the VirtualBox installation directory will be inserted into a virtual CD/DVD drive of the VM. After that, you can see a CD shortcut on the Ubuntu Desktop. The ISO disk contains autorun, and the Guest Additions installer can be started automatically. Just hit the Run button to start installing VirtualBox Guest Additions.
- If you get the warning message “Please install the gcc make perl packages”, it means that you have to install these packages first and then install VirtualBox Guest Additions.
execute the command:
sudo apt-get install build-essential gcc make perl dkms
- reboot your Ubuntu VM
Run the Linux installer of VirtualBox Guest Additions on your Ubuntu on VirtualBox manually:
sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
You can check only version of VirtualBox Guest Additions:
lsmod | grep -io vboxguest | xargs modinfo | grep -iw version
