This goes without saying but
1. If you can't afford to lose it don't mod or OC it.
2. At least read the OP before commenting.

This needs a new thread.

Installed Ubuntu 8.04.01 in VBox within XP.

took an hr to solve first problem, right Ctrl to release mouse!.

Tried to import bookmarks frm IE but says cannot find anything.

The stock em program does not open up.

Display has only 16 & 800x600.

Does not import video driver.

The window does not maximise leaving small space for ubuntu itself.

Sounds like you didn't install the VirtualBox Guest Additions (go back to the OP). Once you do that it'll clear up most of this stuff.

I read a dozen info on Vbox/ubuntu, on how to install guest additions, typed in hundreds of commands each asked me to, the devices>install guest additions does not work, even tried to install it by burning this "VBoxGuestAdditions.iso" on a CD, install wizard installs it, a directory is made " innotek VirtualBox Guest Additions" BUT nothing is happening.

And to add insalt too, on boot up meriads of text are dished out & then says "your grafix are 800x600 do you want to keep it" but I cannot change it or any drivers.

VBox seats 6"x6" in the middle of a 20" screen & won't enlarge, grafix are 16, 800x400, nothing inmports etc etc.

I am stuck in a stand still.

It looks like it worked fine. I can see the CD image there on your desktop. Now you have to actually run it.

I'll translate it for the non-linux savvy among us:




1. Open up the terminal, you should find it in the start menu.
2. Type sudo followed by a space, and DON'T hit enter.
3. Take the file in the pic above and drag it onto the terminal, it should now show a file path after the sudo.
4. Hit Enter, it should work, if not you're going to have to cd to the directory first(usually "cd /media/cdrom0")



You don't need to do any configuring or anything, it should work after that. If not, ctrl-alt-backspace and try it again. The resolution should now resize automatically to fit the vbox window, so you don't ever have to set the resolution.
