How to Install Ubuntu 20.04 on a Mac using VirtualBox (2020 Version)

How to create an Ubuntu Virtual Machine on your Mac using VirtualBox! This is an updated tutorial using Ubuntu version 20.04 instead of 19.04. A lot has changed since last year's tutorial, so I figured this updated version would be helpful! If you have any questions or problems with the install, be sure to leave comment below!

I ran into the issue where I would reach 100% of the initial installation and then the instance would crash. I would then get this huge crash report. Decided to share because through multiple threads and dead ends I found a user with a solution.

Solution: Disable audio in the settings before running the instance. This fixed my problem and no longer crashed when going through the installation.

nice tutorial!) guys, if u have an error when adding the disk image 13:21, go to Settings -> Storage and add ur install .iso as IDE Primary Device 0 (remove the empty one there if necessary
), after that start your virtual machine -> it should boot into installation

Appreciate this video. My first ever VM that I've created. Just starting out in the IT world and I'm trying to learn different aspects to help me grow. Thanks for making this simple and easy to follow. I'm having issues with the auto-resizing, doesn't change itself automatically for me or allow full screen. But hey ho, problems are made to be solved! Thanks again!

I had some of the same install problems on my Mac. I finally found a workaround in the forums by using an earlier version of VB from last year.
