After the installation, you can run a command of "sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers $username" to add the current user to the group of vboxusers. This is needed because the user to run VirtualBox needs to access virtualbox device.
Download the iso of Xubuntu Desktop to local. Add a new virtual machine, and use the ISO file as the CDRom image.
Then I met a problem when trying to configure devices for a virtual machine. The error message is "Could not load the Host USB Proxy Service (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND). The service might be not installed on the host computer."
This bug is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bug/151585.
And to solve the problem
"Please open the following file: /etc/init.
Find the following lines:
#mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
#domount usbfs "" /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs -obusmode=
#ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/
#mount --rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb
Unmark them".
Reboot the machine. And the error is solved.
Configure the networking, enable one ethernet adapter and use NAT. Start powering the virtual machine and install the Xubuntu as the guest os.
Install the Guest addition:
1. Click the menu of "Device->Install Guest Additions...", then start a terminal in Xubuntu and run "cd /media/cdrom0" and "sudo bash VBoxLinuxAdditions.run" to install the guest addition.
2. Reboot the machine to make the guest addition take effect.
Make the full screen higher resolution:
Need to edit the file of /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the following section
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Generic Video Card"
Monitor "Generic Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Modes "800x600"
EndSubSection
EndSection
Add a mode of 1280x800 in the line of "Modes", the line will became
Modes "1280x800" "800x600"
After this is done, log out and you got a full screen now.
