How to Install Ubuntu Linux on a Virtual Machine

I show you how to create a virtual machine with Oracle VirtualBox to prepare for Ubuntu Linux installation.

After this lecture you should be able to repeat my steps on your computer, without any issues.

I also show you how to start/boot up the virtual machine, and how to boot from the Ubuntu Linux virtual dvd .iso image.

Here you will learn how to create custom partitions for your Ubuntu Linux installation. I cover all the steps from after the installation (virtual) dvd has booted up, up to where the installation continues automatically on its own.

(We started up the virtual machine in the previous lecture, and booted from the virtual installation dvd for Ubuntu Linux. This is the .iso file that you downloaded from the ubuntu website. When that file is added to the virtual machine virtual dvd, it becomes an installation dvd on the virtual machine.)

All the manual steps of the installation was completed in the previous lectures. Now the installation continues automatically, and I explain several things during this process. You are welcome to skip to the next lecture, but I advise you to watch this entire lecture till the end of the installation.

Installation was completed in previous lecture.

I now show you how to boot up Ubuntu Linux from the virtual machine(without the installation dvd), and then I briefly describe some steps of the Ubuntu Desktop setup once we have logged in to the newly installed Ubuntu Linux.

This lecture can be very useful for you if you want to know how to install some softwares/applications, how to change your desktop layout, etc. You should watch till the end, because I will give you an assignment.

I show you where to download Ubuntu Linux and also Oracle VirtualBox.
