COMO INSTALAR UBUNTU EN VIRTUALBOX 2024 (Tutorial Detallado)

Installing Ubuntu on VirtualBox

Introduction to the Installation Process

• The video begins with an introduction to installing Ubuntu, a popular Linux distribution, using VirtualBox.

• Viewers are directed to the official Ubuntu website (ubuntu.com) for downloading the latest version, which is 24.04.21 GB.

System Requirements and Downloading Ubuntu

• Important system requirements include a dual-core processor, 4 GB of RAM, and 25 GB of free disk space; these should be noted for successful installation.

• After clicking download, users may be prompted for an email address but can skip this step as the download will proceed regardless.

Preparing for Installation

• Once downloaded, the file will have a .ISO extension indicating it serves as a digital installation disk.

• Users are advised to move the ISO file to their VirtualBox installation folder for better organization.

Setting Up Virtual Machine in VirtualBox

• A new virtual machine named "Ubuntu" is created in VirtualBox; users select the ISO image from its saved location.

• Configuration settings require allocating at least 4 GB of RAM and ensuring that there are two CPU cores available for optimal performance.

Finalizing Configuration and Starting Installation

• Users can choose to increase virtual hard drive space beyond the recommended 25 GB; in this case, it's set to 50 GB.

• After reviewing configurations, users finalize setup by clicking 'Finish' and then start the virtual machine.

Installing Ubuntu: Initial Steps

• Upon starting up, users will see options including "Install Ubuntu," which they need to select by pressing Enter.

• The initial screen may display warnings in red text; however, these do not affect installation—users should allow processes to continue without interruption.

Language Selection and Internet Connection Setup

• Users are prompted to select their language during setup; Spanish is chosen here as an example.

• The next step involves selecting keyboard layout (Spanish Latin American), followed by connecting via Ethernet since it's a virtual environment simulating a physical connection.

Choosing Installation Type and Applications

• Two installation options appear: "Try Ubuntu" or "Install Ubuntu"; users opt for direct installation.

How to Install Ubuntu 24.04.21

Initial Setup and Installation Process

• The installation begins with the option to "Erase disk and install Ubuntu," which formats the virtual disk without affecting physical hardware.

• User account creation is prompted; the user sets a name (Rodrigo), computer name (Rendo), username, and password, noting that a weak password is acceptable for demonstration purposes.

• Time zone selection is crucial; the user selects "Ciudad de México" before proceeding with the installation summary.

• The installation process starts, copying files, and requires patience as it may take several minutes to complete.

Post-Installation Steps

• After installation, users must remove the installation medium and press Enter to avoid an infinite loading screen during boot-up.

• Upon rebooting, users log in with their created credentials and are welcomed by Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

• Users are given options for additional installations like Ubuntu Pro or sharing system data; they opt out of these features initially.

Adjusting Display Settings

• Users encounter display issues where the screen appears small even when attempting full-screen mode; further adjustments are necessary.

• To resolve display size problems, users need to insert guest additions from the devices menu in their virtual machine settings.

Installing Missing Packages

• Users execute autorun.sh but face errors indicating missing programs; troubleshooting involves copying error messages for package installations via terminal commands.

• The command sudo apt install <missing_package> is used to install required software packages identified during previous steps.

Finalizing Configuration

• After installing necessary packages, users can reattempt running autorun.sh, entering their password when prompted for successful execution.

Adjusting Window Size in Video Settings

Changing Resolution and Aspect Ratio

• The speaker discusses the process of changing the window size for a video, specifically setting it to 18280 by 720 pixels with a 16:9 aspect ratio.

• After applying the new settings, the window automatically resizes to reflect these changes.

• The speaker emphasizes selecting a size that is most favorable for viewing, indicating flexibility in choosing different dimensions.
