Q & A

What is the first step in installing Ubuntu on VirtualBox?

The first step is to install VirtualBox on your computer. Once installed, you can open the application and begin creating a new virtual machine for Ubuntu installation.

How do you prepare the Ubuntu ISO file for installation?

You need to download the Ubuntu ISO file from the official Ubuntu website. Make sure you select the correct version (e.g., Ubuntu 20.04 64-bit) and save it to your computer.

What settings should be chosen when creating a new virtual machine in VirtualBox?

When creating a new VM, you should name it (e.g., Linux Ubuntu), select 'Linux' as the type, and 'Ubuntu 64-bit' as the version. This ensures VirtualBox is set up correctly for Ubuntu.

How much memory should be allocated to the virtual machine?

You should allocate half of your system's RAM for the VM. In the tutorial, 4GB was allocated out of 8GB of system memory, but this can vary depending on your system's total memory.

What type of virtual hard disk should be created for Ubuntu installation?

A Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) should be created. This allows the system to store the virtual machine’s data. The size of the virtual hard disk should be around 40GB for a comfortable Ubuntu installation.

How do you load the Ubuntu ISO into VirtualBox for installation?

To load the ISO, go to the 'Settings' menu of the virtual machine, then under 'Storage,' click on the empty disk under 'Controller: IDE.' After that, click the disk icon next to 'Optical Drive' and choose the Ubuntu ISO file.

What are the two main installation options presented during the Ubuntu installation?

The two options are 'Try Ubuntu' and 'Install Ubuntu.' 'Try Ubuntu' allows you to use the OS without installing it, while 'Install Ubuntu' will begin the installation process on the virtual machine.

What disk installation option is recommended for VirtualBox when installing Ubuntu?

The recommended option is 'Erase disk and install Ubuntu.' Since this is a virtual machine, it’s safe to delete all partitions and install Ubuntu on the virtual disk.

How do you set the time zone during the installation process?

To set the time zone, you will be prompted to select your geographical location. In the tutorial, 'Indonesia' and 'Jakarta' were chosen as the time zone settings.

What are the required user information and password settings during installation?

You need to enter your full name, choose a computer name, and create a username and password for logging into the system. The password should be simple enough to remember, and you should ensure there are no spaces in the username.

How do you eject the ISO after the installation is complete?

After the installation is complete, the ISO file should be ejected automatically. If not, you can manually eject it from the VirtualBox 'Settings' menu to avoid booting from the ISO again during the next restart.

How can you shut down the Ubuntu virtual machine after installation?

To shut down the Ubuntu VM, you can click on the power icon in the top right corner, select 'Power Off,' and confirm. Alternatively, you can choose 'Log Out' or 'Shut Down' from the menu.
