Installing Kubuntu in Virtualbox

As I have mentioned in my other posts describing the Installation of Ubuntu in Virtualbox, first create a VM for installing Kubuntu. Then add the “iso” file the CD Drive for the system. Start the VM.
It will bring the first screen of Kubuntu as shown below

Select the option “Start Kubuntu” (which will be selected by default) and press Enter to continue. The below screen shows the loading of Kubuntu.

As shown below after loading Kubuntu, it will directly take you to the Welcome screen. There you have the option to wither try the live CD or Install Kubuntu. Click on “Install Kubuntu”.

The next screen will be the “Prepare” screen. Here Kubuntu will check whether the minimum disk space is available as well as whether Internet is available. Also you have the choice to select the installation of third-party software as well as downloading updates. Here we haven’t selected any of this option.

The next screen is “Disk Setup” where you will setup the partitions. Here if you select “Manual”, you will be shown screen for creating partitions manually. We have selected “Guided – use entire disk” option. So everything will be done automatically by Kubuntu. After doing that click on “Install Now”.

On clicking the “Install Now” button in the above screen, Kubuntu starts creating partitions which will be shown in the same screen as a progress bar at the bottom. This is shown in the picture below.

After creating partitions it will move to the next screen named “Timezone”. Here you can set the time zone. You can either select the same from combo box or by clicking the map. After that click on “Continue”. Kubuntu will be copying the files to the Hard disk in the background at the same time.

The next screen is the “Keyboard” screen. Select the appropriate keyboard here and click on “Continue”

Next is the “User Info” screen. Enter the name, username, password and computer name in this screen. Also set the options like whether you want to “log in automatically” or “require password to log in” as well as to “Encrypt the home folder or not”. After that click on “Continue”.

This will take you to the last screen. Now you will waiting for the installation to complete.

As you can see below the installation has completed and now it is asking for a restart. Click on the “Restart Now” button.

Vow, after restarting you will be taken to the nice, beautiful login screen of Kubuntu. Just enter the password and login.

Now Kubuntu is loading the necessary services. After that it will take you to the desktop.

The beautiful Kubuntu desktop. I love this desktop. So cute.
