The text instructions are more important than the screenshots
Screenshots of the installation of Ubuntu in Virtual Box are here.
Download and boot the last Ubuntu release.
- Create a new virtual machine named "Ubuntu" with at least 4096 MB of RAM
- Use the fixed size storage allocation (to have more performance)
- In the settings of the VM
- System -> Motherboard : check "Enable EFI"
- System -> Processor : Select at least 2 processors
- Display -> Screen : Put "Video Memory" to the maximum
- Enable 3D acceleration
- Storage
- Remove IDE controller
- Add Optical Drive to the SATA controller
- Choose your Ubuntu ISO image
- Close the settings (click OK)
- Run the VM
Follow the screenshots (some settings can be personalized, such as keyboard layout, location, password, login automatically, but do not change the username)
Skip the welcoming window.
Don't install updates if Ubuntu asks to. The scripts will.
OS customization
You can overwrite the files of the folder system by setting an environment variable named OVERWRITE with the format : Destination folder;Git URL.
For example to write the content of the repository github.com/xpetit/custom in the system folder :
export OVERWRITE='.;https://github.com/xpetit/custom.git'
OS configuration
Run a terminal and type these commands :
unset HISTFILE
sudo apt-get -y install git
export PERSISTENT=
git clone https://github.com/01-edu/public.git
public/scripts/setup.sh
After reboot you should install Virtual Box additions (and reboot again) :
sudo apt -y install virtualbox-guest-x11
Then it is advised to use the virtual machine in full screen mode (Host key - F)
