Ubuntu on Win10 VirtualBox - cannot install
Host machine: Win 10 Home 64-bit; i7 @ 2.5GHz; 1TB SSD & 1TB HDD (both internal); 12GB RAM; Intel HD 4600 graphics
Trying to install Ubuntu 18.04.1 (from the Ubuntu site) desktop in VB v6.0. ISO is on the HDD while the VM is on the SSD, but I've also tried installing the ISO from the SSD.
No issues installing and setting up VB
No issues creating a VM - allocated 6GB RAM/ VDI/ Dynamically allocated 25GB
When I start the VM I get the Oracle splash screen showing the F12 GRUB option, VM window changes to black w/ some text (quickly flashes, can't read before it disappears). VM window then starts filling from the top w/ purple, fills then after a couple of seconds the keyboard = person icon appears. And it will stay that way for as long as I want to leave it - left it for three hours the day.
If on the splash screen I click to focus on it then start pressing Shift I will see the purple background with Ubuntu and the various other text as though it's loading, then the language options come up with English selected but I can't select any others (although English is correct) and at the bottom of the window are options for F2, F4, F6, and F8. There is no option to continue.
After reading numerous posts here and elsewhere, I've tried all these in the VM:
+ increasing the # of CPUs
+ increasing the Base Memory
+ changing the chipset to ICH9
+ Enabling or Disabling PAE/NX
+ Disabling Hardware Virtualization
+ Changing the Graphics Controller to each option. Only None does anything different, which is that the VM windows is black.
I have the same issues trying to the install Ubuntu 16.04.5
I'm stuck and will appreciate any suggestions.
