Title: How to Install Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on VirtualBox in Windows 11 | Step-by-Step Guide

Description:

Want to explore Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on your Windows 11 machine without dual-booting? VirtualBox makes it easy to run Ubuntu as a virtual machine. In this tutorial, I'll guide you through the process of installing Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on VirtualBox in Windows 11. Follow these steps to get Ubuntu up and running on your system.

**Step-by-Step Instructions:**

**Step 1: Download and Install VirtualBox**
2. Click on "Download VirtualBox" and choose the Windows hosts version.
3. Once the download is complete, run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions to install VirtualBox on your Windows 11 machine.

**Step 2: Download Ubuntu 24.04 LTS ISO**
2. Save the ISO file to a location on your computer where you can easily find it later.

**Step 3: Create a New Virtual Machine in VirtualBox**
1. Open VirtualBox and click on the "New" button to create a new virtual machine.
2. In the "Name and Operating System" window, enter a name for your virtual machine (e.g., "Ubuntu 24.04 LTS"). Ensure the "Type" is set to "Linux" and the "Version" is set to "Ubuntu (64-bit)".
3. Click "Next" to proceed.

**Step 4: Allocate Memory (RAM)**
1. In the "Memory Size" window, allocate the amount of RAM for your virtual machine. A minimum of 2048 MB (2 GB) is recommended, but you can allocate more if your system allows.
2. Click "Next" to continue.

**Step 5: Create a Virtual Hard Disk**
1. Select "Create a virtual hard disk now" and click "Create".
2. In the "Hard Disk File Type" window, choose "VDI (VirtualBox Disk Image)" and click "Next".
3. For "Storage on Physical Hard Disk", choose either "Dynamically allocated" or "Fixed size" based on your preference. "Dynamically allocated" is more flexible.
4. Click "Next" to proceed.

**Step 6: Specify the Size of the Virtual Hard Disk**
1. Set the size of the virtual hard disk. A minimum of 25 GB is recommended for Ubuntu.
2. Click "Create" to finish setting up the virtual hard disk.

**Step 7: Configure the Virtual Machine Settings**
1. Select your newly created virtual machine in the VirtualBox Manager and click on "Settings".
2. Go to the "System" tab and ensure that "Enable EFI" is unchecked (unless needed for specific purposes).
3. Go to the "Storage" tab, click on the empty optical drive under "Controller: IDE", then click on the disk icon and choose "Choose a disk file".
4. Locate and select the Ubuntu 24.04 LTS ISO file you downloaded earlier.
5. Click "OK" to save the settings.

**Step 8: Start the Virtual Machine**
1. With your virtual machine selected, click on the "Start" button.
2. The virtual machine will boot from the Ubuntu ISO file. Follow the on-screen instructions to install Ubuntu.

**Step 9: Install Ubuntu 24.04 LTS**
1. Select "Install Ubuntu" from the options.
2. Choose your language and keyboard layout.
3. Follow the prompts to set up your installation preferences, including updates and third-party software.
4. Select "Erase disk and install Ubuntu" (this will only affect the virtual hard disk).
5. Follow the remaining prompts to create your user account and complete the installation.

**Step 10: Finalize Installation and Reboot**
1. Once the installation is complete, restart the virtual machine when prompted.
2. Remove the installation media by going to "Devices" - "Optical Drives" - "Remove disk from virtual drive" in the VirtualBox menu.
3. Press "Enter" to reboot your virtual machine.

Congratulations! You've successfully installed Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on VirtualBox in Windows 11. You can now start using Ubuntu alongside your Windows environment.

Thanks you for making very useful videos

Thank you for making this useful video. On the "Installing Guest Additions on Ubuntu Guest" section, after running "sudo apt update", I guess you should run "sudo apt upgrade" at 19:07. Then proceed to "sudo apt install build-essential dkms linux-headers-$(uname -r)" after that. I did not run "sudo apt upgrade" the first time, and it caused my ubuntu to freeze up when maximizing the window.

Ubuntu 24.04 seems not compatible with VirtualBox 7.0.18. Sometimes it works, sometimes it shows the black screen and does not response anymore.
