The Wily Werewolf edition of Kubuntu will be officially released on October 22, and it will be supported by Canonical and the Kubuntu community with software updates and security patches for 9 months, until July Kubuntu The boot options are identical with those that were present in previous versions of the distribution, which means that, by default, the Live DVD will boot automatically in approximately 10 seconds from the moment the users boots the ISO image from the BIOS of the PC.
Available boot options include the ability to start Kubuntu with default settings, support for testing the memory of the PC, the ability to boot an existing operating system from the local disk drive, as well as support for checking the integrity of the bootable medium only if booting from a DVD disc.
Additionally, you can choose a different language, enable various accessibility options, change the keyboard layout, select a different mode, and activate various other useful functions that will ensure your special hardware is supported. If you choose dynamically allocated it will only use space as it is required.
So if you set 20 gigabytes aside for the virtual hard drive and only 6 is required then only 6 will be used. As you install more applications the extra space will be allocated as necessary. The fixed size option allocates all the space you request straight away. This is less efficient in terms of disk space usage because you may have set aside space you never actually use but it is better for performance.
This is the better option as your computer generally has more disk space than memory and CPU power. Finally, you are at the stage of setting how much space you wish to give to Ubuntu. The minimum is about 10 gigabytes but the more you can spare the better. If you are just installing Ubuntu in a virtual machine to test it out go for a smaller amount. This is the point where you need to choose the Ubuntu ISO file you downloaded earlier. Click on the folder icon next to the Host Drive dropdown.
Navigate to the download folder and click on the Ubuntu disc image and then on Open. Ubuntu should load into the little window and you will have the option to try Ubuntu or install Ubuntu. A list of pre-requisites will be displayed. Basically, you need to make sure your machine has enough power i. You also have the option of downloading updates whilst installing and to install third party software. If you have a good internet connection check the download updates option otherwise untick it and leave the updates to install at a later point post installation.
Check the install third party software option as it will allow you to play MP3 audio and watch Flash videos. The next step lets you decide how to install Ubuntu. As you are using a virtual machine select the Erase disk and install Ubuntu option. Do not worry. This will not erase your physical hard drive.
It will just install Ubuntu in the virtual hard drive created earlier on. A message will appear showing you the changes that will be made to your disk.
Again this is only your virtual hard drive and so it is safe to click Continue. You will now be required to choose where you live. You can either select the place on the map or type it into the box available. Now choose a username and enter a password to associate with that user. The other options are to log in automatically or require a password to log in.
You can also choose to encrypt your home folder. As it is a virtual machine you may as well go for the Log in automatically option but we recommend always selecting the Require my password to log in. You have the option to save the machine state, send the shutdown signal or power off the machine. Choose power off the machine and click OK. Click on the storage option and then click on IDE and choose the little circle with a plus symbol icon which adds a new optical drive. An option will appear asking you to choose which disk to insert into the optical drive.
Click on the Choose disk button. Click on the CD icon at the bottom of the launcher panel on the left and make sure there are files for VirtualBox Guest Additions. When the virtual machine restarts choose the View menu and select Full-Screen Mode.
A message will appear telling you that you can toggle between full screen and windowed mode by holding down the right CTRL key and F. You should now have successfully installed Ubuntu as a virtual machine on Windows Then create a new for the virtual machine and location to store it. The default is fine. Next, set the maximum disk size to use and click Next. Finally, click Finish to complete the guest machine creation.
After that a new guest machine should be ready to install the operating system of your choice. Save the settings and start the virtual machine… When the virtual machine boots up, you should see Ubuntu installation screen as shown below…. Option 2 Something else — is to perform a custom installation… for advanced users… You can choose to encrypt Ubuntu and use other advanced settings… but for new users and students, select the first option and continue..
