Thanks, Michael for that insight. Indeed my suspicion was right after all about a bug lurking somewhere in VirtualBox. Mine's still VirtualBox 7.0 and yet has an issue with this installation.
@@jameskiarie6923 Just another headsup: I've experienced several bugs in VirtualBox 6.1 and 7 on several Windows and Ubuntu systems for the past year and a half. Bugs like the drag and drop feature not working when enabled bidirectional, and out of memory errors related to virtualbox when restarting the host OS. However, I was surprised to learn just how many CVEs exist for virtualbox in 2023 and 2024 with relatively high CVSS scores. Just Google "VirtualBox CVE Details"

Hello. This is a problem I have addressed in the video. You need to enable 3D acceleration and increase the video memory. Check timestamp @7:46. Then reboot and turn disable 3D acceleration once the installation is complete.

Hey there @Wyndham, This is an issue to do with VirtualBox 7.0. It's quite buggy at the moment and this explains why you may be experiencing such errors.
@@wyndhamkeith7048 Try VMware or any other virtualization platform such as Proxmox. Personally, I'm running an instance on VMware WorkStation 16 and it runs smoothly. Also, be sure to give it 4GB of RAM and at least 2vCPUs.

@@jameskiarie6923 how do I fix this? I am thinking to download lower version of Ubuntu... or just use Vmware instead
