How To Create a VM in VirtualBox 

New Linux users can take advantage of VMs to practice while watching Joe Collins Linux videos.

Fortunately within the 2 years since this was uploaded a lot of these steps have become a lot easier.

Excellent video. Your pleasant voice and friendly demeanor are bonuses.

Got my virtual box installed and working perfectly on an old HP Desktop in Linux mint 19.3 with the latest (6.1) VirtualBox edition, and got the USB working inside it. (From Oracle download, not 5.2 version from Software Manager). And got the Guest Additions and Extension packs going. As noted the final thing to do, which took me a while to figure out was to add my user to the vboxusers group, to get the USB working.

Heads up Joe the G in GCC doesn't stand for Gnome it stands for GNU C Compiler, just thought that you'd like to know this for feature reference.

Awesome Joe! Thank you very much appreciated!!! You answered a lot of my questions. Is the other one you mentioned vm ware better? Are they about the same?

Superb guide, thanks Joe!

great work. joe!

+Joe Collins thank you for another great tutorial.

If you use a VPN on your host does it work on the guest?

Is it possible to create multiple copies of a virtual machine and run them on different host systems simultaneously?

joe, how much hard drive space is needed on the host machine for setting up vm??

Tricore CPU? I knew they existed in some special devices such as the Wii U, not PCs. Who makes them for PCs?

Sir it’s giving me an error at the storage part

Hey Joe where can i get drivers for a Microtek Scanmaker 8700 Pro at Please Help Ps only runs on XP

Thank you very much Joe.

It says that Sata port 0 is using a disk that all ready exist that’s all ready attached to IDE primary master

I followed you VirtualBox instruction and still unable to copy/paste from host to the Virtual machine. Is more to do like setting up sharing.

Have you tried OBS for recordings?

I installed virtual box on ubuntu 14.04 and it removed my ubuntu software center and unity desktop. Easy to fix but I still have no idea why it did it.

Would also see something like this for KVM

I couldnt start the Machine it gave me an error saying this: Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005) Component: MachineWrap Interface: IMachine {b2547866-a0a1-4391-8b86-6952d82efaa0}

Joe, you should get to know tab complete lol. Save some time on copy/pasting long file names. Solid video though.

I tried installing ubuntu mate in my virtual machine, but when I get to the part for selecting your language and keyboard, the option for continue is cut off by the window I tried going into fullscreen mode, but I haven't installed the drivers yet. How do you get around this?

what is ur recording software

Video auto panning from zooming is a bit distracting. Sorry to be critical. Your other videos are top notch, though.

welp, the drag and drop/resize didn't work. I kinda need that unfortunately

So many updates in one day what with it wanting to update my UEFI BIOS and other things and it didn't like the password I know I should have added a password but there was no password in the security part of the UEFI BIOS so it should have taken it straight off no problem it is just weird but I machine is stable which is good.

I came here thinking you will do a VM-ception by running a VM inside a VM... :(

248MB is not 2GB

THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT 3 YEARS AGO WHEN I FIRST GOT VRB

"ZOO-buntu"
