‘Ubuntu’ is the famous word in recent tech world. It’s a latest light weight OS which works faster than any OS except net book OSs. I wanted to try the latest version on my Windows 7 32 Bit Host, it worked well. This small post shows the steps to install Ubuntu 10.04 on VirtualBox with Windows 7 32 bit host and working Guest Additions.
- Since my computer can't handle an actual disc for some reason, I tried to use VirtualBox to run Ubuntu on Windows. However, I can't use 64-bit ISOs, because VirtualBox is 32-bit. Is there a 32-bit ISO for Ubuntu?

I hope you would love this OS and performance.

VirtualBox* is a type 2 hypervisor from Oracle. This document explains howto create a virtual machine on the VirtualBox hypervisor with Clear Linux* OSas the guest operating system.
These instructions make use of a preinstalled Clear Linux OS disk image to setup a Clear Linux OSvirtual machine without manual installation. Clear Linux OS can also be installed fromscratch on a VirtualBox using the Clear Linux OS installed.See: Install Clear Linux* OS as a VirtualBox* Virtual Machine
- Start the Clear Linux OS VM
Prerequisites
Before continuing make sure that you have:
- Enabled virtualization, such as Intel®Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT), on the host system fromEFI/BIOS.
- Downloaded and installed VirtualBox version 6.0 or greater fromthe official VirtualBox website per the appropriate instructionsfor your platform.
Download and extract Clear Linux OS
The Clear Linux OS live image needs to be downloaded and extracted. The live image willbe used to created a VirtualBox virtual disk image that can be used with aVM.
Download the live image (clear-<VERSION-live.img.xz) ofClear Linux OS. On the downloads page, this is listed asClear Linux OS live boot image.
You can also use this command to download from a terminal:
Validate the integrity of the downloaded image by checking the file hashand signatures. Refer to the document on Validate signatures fordetailed steps.
Decompress the downloaded image. Uncompressed image size is ~ 5GB.
On Windows you can use 7zip to extract the file by right-clicking thefile and selecting Extract Here (in the same directory)
On Linux :
There originally downloaded compressed archive file(clear-<VERSION>-live.img.xz) can now be deleted.
Convert Clear Linux OS live image to a VirtualBox Disk Image
The Clear Linux OS live image is in a RAW disk image. The live image needs to beconverted to a VDI format which VirtualBoxcan utilize.
Launch a terminal and navigate to the directory containing theextracted live image.
Convert RAW live image to a VDIformat using the command-line VirtualBox Disk Utility.
Note
The PATH environment variable may need to be updated to make theVBoxManage command easily accessible from the terminal.For example, using Windows PowerShell:
For more information on the VBoxManage command,see the VirtualBox manual section on VBoxManage.
The originally extracted live image file(clear-<VERSION>-live.img) can now be deleted.
Move the converted clear-VM.vdi disk image file to a permanentlocation. The VDI will be attached to the VirtualBox VM and should not bedeleted.
Create a new VirtualBox virtual machine
A new VM needs to be created in VirtualBox Manager to attach the VDI with Clear Linux OS installed.
General instructions for creating a virtual machine and details about usingdifferent settings are available on theVirtualBox manual section on Creating a VM.
Launch the VirtualBox Manager from your host system.
Click the New button to create a new VM.
A Create Virtual Machine window will appear.Select the following settings:
- Type: Linux
- Version: Linux 2.6 / 3.x / 4.x (64-bit)
- Memory size: 1024 MB (this can be adjusted appropriately)
- Hard disk: Use an existing virtual hard disk file
Click the folder icon next to the drop down menu:
A new window will appear for choosing an existing disk. Click the Addbutton, browse to the saved VDI file, and click Choose.
Click the Create button.
A new virtual machine will be created and appear in the VirtualBox Manager. ClickSettings to configure the Clear Linux OS VM.
A VM - Settings window will appear. Navigate to the System pane fromthe left-hand and select the following setting:
- Enable I/O APIC
- Enable EFI (special OSes only)
Note
By default, only 1 virtual CPU is allocated to the new VM. Considerincreasing the number of virtual processors allocated to the virtualmachine under Settings –> System –> Processor for increasedperformance.

If the running kernel is not lts: install the LTS kernel manually,update the bootloader, and check again:
Remove any kernel bundles that are not kernel-lts or kernel-installto simplify and avoid conflicts:
From the VM Console window, click Devices on the top menu bar, andselect Insert Guest Additions CD image... to mount the VirtualBox driverinstallation to the Clear Linux OS VM.
Note
To release the mouse cursor from the VM console window, press the right Ctrl key on the keyboard.

Afterwards, power theClear Linux OS VM on and follow the instructions here to have Clear Linux OS detect the resizeddisk. Increase virtual disk size of a Clear Linux* OS image
Problem: On a Microsoft Windows OS, VirtualBox encounters an error whentrying to start a VM indicating VT-X/AMD-v hardware acceleration is notavailable on your system.
Solution: First, double check the Prerequisites section to make sureHardware accelerated virtualization extensions have been enabled in thehost system’s EFI/BIOS.
Hardware accelerated virtualization, may get disabled for VirtualBox when anotherhypervisor, such as Hyper-V is enabled.
To disable Hyper-V execute this command in anAdministrator: Command Prompt or Powershell, and reboot the system:
To enable Hyper-V again, execute this command in anAdministrator: Command Prompt or Powershell, and reboot the system:
