READ THIS FIRST - When installing other guest operating systems using VirtualBox, you may need to adjust the memory (RAM), and CPU, which I showed you in this video. If you are creating a Windows or Mac guest OS, you may need to adjust some of the settings higher than you would with Linux. On older computers, you may need to enable virtualization in the Bios. If you are experiencing issues with adjusting the size of the guest OS as shown in the video, you may need to install the "Guest Additions" for VirtualBox. Here's a link to the instructions. docs.oracle.com/cd/E36500_01/E36502/html/qs-guest-additions.html Thanks for watching :)
Nicely done. I've been using this tool for most of its life, it's been really stable and super useful. I've worked in Unix/linux commercially since 1980, some things I can do in my sleep there, which take forever and paid tools in Windows world (which I have no argument with btw - I think 10 is a great OS) .
For people who dont understand the "Erase Disk and Install" option, it does not mean your actual PC's hard disk. Remember that this window contains the Linux OS installation, and is not linked with your PC. Remember that we put the optical disk as the installation. that is what it means.
@@savemarinelife6615 no, the point of a vm is to isolate it from the host/main machine its only wiping the virtual hard drive you made (altho technically you can pass your real drive through)
I love that stuff like this is becoming easy to use for even computer novices. Stuff like this would've been considered next level hacker spy shit 10 or 15 years ago.
AWESOME! A project for my daughter who is only 13. These days of virus and scare, we are all stuck in the house bored and one needs to work the brain. Thanks for your time on this bro. Thumbs up. I owe you a beer.
VERY WELL narrated, nicely walked through the whole process end to end. It is informative and so useful. Thanks for your time working and uploading this one, as someone truely said, the best tech video i have seen in many many years!!! Kudos, keep it up, clear and transparent.
Theoretically yes. But if your underlying hardware does not support hardware-assisted virtualization like intel VTX technology, then you will not get a lot of work done on this nested VM environment, because it will be way too slow to operate. For example, Hardware runs HostOS, HostOS runs GuestOS, and GuestOs runs NestedGuestOS. Now a single page fault or system call in the nestedGuestOS has to go through 2 levels of "world switches" one of the GuestOS and possibly of the hostOS which actually knows where the real pages are mapped. Do you see how this would be a problem ? Your NestedGuestOS would almost always be stuck in a syscall or page fault... So for practical reasons, this won't be useful unless you have hardware-assisted virtualization enabled.
I have probably watched literally thousands of tutorials for various things on RUclips. Yours is, hands down, the BEST one I've seen in a very long time. As someone who never even heard of a virtual machine until last week, thank you so much for getting me up and running!
Wow this is everything an explorer geek would want to test things out! This can be so much fun to see what is out there. My question would be, will virtual box allow more than one operating system at a time to be installed? (thus selecting between one operating system from another) I'm really glad that the Tech Gumbo crowd got behind this request but, REALLY happy that you listened and did not hesitate to make a video. THANK YOU we much appreciate it! (if the Gumbo Nation will allow me to say a collective Thank you.) Maybe we can follow up with what more you can do with Ubuntu if you haven't already done that.
@@aidenjinks6502 go to settings then go to recovery find advanced startup in one of the subsections click troubleshoot then one of the options from there say go to UEFI and that will take u too ur bios it’s not really specific Cus I forgot a lot of the steps but if u find it the bios is different for nearly everyone so u will have to search it up
One thing that would be awesome to know about is how to add another external device to the Viritual box. Example: I put in a USB flashdrive OR maybe a network Adapter and want to use it on the viritual box. That would be cool! (I'll search it up now but awesome tutorial, thanks!!)
Awesome tutorial. My job told me to run Unbuntu on in Virutalbox which I have no knowledge of either. Your guide helped and the extra commentary on your experience is great too!
also noticed in the initial setup of Ubuntu that the LVM was not selected to allow 'snapshots' to be taken...as it stands each time you shutdown VB it creates a thing called 'Current State' which was over riding snapshots I took while in VB....thus am enabling LVM.
I installed even windows 10 on virtual box with 4GB ram and 1 core CPU. But very slow and video quality is low. I think installing drivers may be alright
6:57 For those using an AMD motherboard, if the CPU slider is greyed out, you may have to go into the BIOS and enable SVM (Secure Virtual Machine) mode.
I'm new to this and your guide is one of the best that i see so far. Clear guideline for newbs like me and i learn so much through this video. Thank you TechGumbo. Im subscribing to this channel !
Great tutorial, I'm installing a sencond windows to play an online game that highly encorages multi-accounts but is too lazy to allow multi-clients on their anti-hack software... anyways, thanks a lot, very clear and helpful, every step is well explained so we can do our changes as needed, overall, the perfect tutorial.
For those who are having trouble installing Ubuntu, you will need to alcoate 20GB instead of the 10GB it recommend not sure why that is but once I did I did that it worked. This for anyone new who is getting that same error I was getting with installation. You will have to create new virtual box to do so.
@4:28 - A Friendly Note for noobs like myself. I could not select any 64-Bit Versions because 'Hardware virtualization' was disabled in my bios for some reason (Used Motherboard). Once enabled I was able to select any 64-Bit version. Hope this may help @Techgumbo - I know this upload is old but maybe a flag re this issue can be inserted at this point, if its easy enough but hey I am a noob trying to help others. Thanks for the upload as it helped me allot!
I would mention you can duplicate a virtual machine that way you can sort test things on that clone before installing them in the original virtual machine.... great video 👍
Thanks. Now I can run linux mint virtually using macOS13 virtually using windows 10 virtually using windows 7 virtually using macOS 9 using ubuntu virtually using macOS 8
If you have networking features like WiFi and file sharing enabled, it can still infect the host. You should be looking how to make a VM specifically for testing viruses and destroying system files.
I am having a problem, it doens't let me click OK in the settings. It says invalid settings because of the Acceleration tab in the System section, but I already disabled it and it still doesn't work.
I appreciate the detailed video. Thank you so much! On my side, I followed every single step you said, but I am stuck at the moment of launching the machine. When I click on "start", it then says "Failed to open a session for the virtual machine UBUNTU". What can I do? I would highly appreciate if somebody could perhaps rescue me ... :) Thanks heaps folks!
I think this is a great video and I'm confident with this video I'll have my first Linux experience. If I like it enough I'll actually end up just backing everything up to my external hdd and just installing Linux on my pc.

I want to set up a virtual box for Windows on my system which is running Ubuntu, can u do a video?
Vighnesh Vighnesh Neither is better. Krita, although similar to Gimp, has more tools designed for digital artists.

Thank you
this is literally what i came in the comments for thanks
there is a way to go through the virtual machine though
RPM GFX wait...aren't we deleting all our programs files and all that stuff? Or is all our programs gonna be fine
@@savemarinelife6615 no, the point of a vm is to isolate it from the host/main machine

it was a joke relax lol
Mustafiz Khan its never a joke, its rather a philosophical question
lol, i tried it and it worked on windows 10 64 bit on virtual box!!
absolutely amazing tutorial thank you! I would have been completely lost on my own, and this was so easy and comprehensable!
same
Thx. Didn't want to install Zoom on my actual laptop, so thisll be useful.
Vens Same! But I cannot go past the "Who are you" - screen ;-;
whats wrong with zoom it has no virus its just that twomad keeps raiding servers
Stablow Official That’s where you’re wrong
@@stablow2708 it's sketchy...it pings chinese servers for no reason.
Virtual machine or not it's likely collecting your data in chinese servers.
With other tutorials it didn't worked for me and it wasn't able to install it but with your tutorial ITS INSTALLING IT thank you!!
Your channel provides the best tutorial on the internet. I think I could literally learn anything from your channel.
this was incredibly detailed with literally no missing steps at all. thanks a lot

This was awesome - exactly what I needed to start exploring Manjaro. Thank you!
thank you soo much. This video was very helpful for downloading the virtual machine.
This still works three years later. Thank you so much!
i can now do this because all it took was changing the BIOS and my heart sinking sooo, yeah thanks for the tutorial
i didn´t think it would that easy! Big THANKS again!
This helps a lot to make me install the XP windows which i use to play games before. And now here i go. Thanks for sharing this buddy.
Excellent! I used this video and installed Linux onto my MacBook. The portion on locating and defining the location of the iso file was most helpful.
Wow this is everything an explorer geek would want to test things out! This can be so much fun to see what is out there.

Yes, you can run multiple guest operating systems. Just don't use more than your host OS can handle.
Do you have to do anything special to delete them and recover that space?
Kenworth heavy haul
Pro Tip- If you can't change any settings of a virtual machine, make sure you have hardware virtualization enabled in your host bios
You The Man, not a pigeon. Thx. Should be top comment!
if it wasn't for u I would've had no idea how to do it
Where is host bios

Thanks for this tutorial (and all the rest). I really like the table of contents with the "time link" you always include in the information area :-)
one of the best tutorials I've ever seen....good job.....👍
noticed you didn't address the use of VB Extensions for all platforms...is this by choice or is it basically not needed?
also noticed in the initial setup of Ubuntu that the LVM was not selected to allow 'snapshots' to be taken...as it stands each time you shutdown VB it creates a thing called 'Current State' which was over riding snapshots I took while in VB....thus am enabling LVM.
