Kubuntu on Virtualbox

The installer of Kubuntu is pretty smart, so when you define your wanted network situation before installing Kubuntu, everything will be working.

My best situation is not "bridged network" because when you unplug the networkplug, you cannot connect to your local network anymore. This is an unwanted situation for me, because I want always be able to connect to my local network.

My best situation is two network adapters:
1) Host-only Adapter
2) NAT
Both with default settings.

Set these two in your Virtualbox settings before you install Kubuntu and while installing Kubuntu will recognise them.

The screen resolution is default not recognized by Virtualbox. You need to do the following:

> open a console on kubuntu
> sudo apt-get install dkms
> sudo apt-get install build-essential

This installs the build-system, so that the guest additions are correctly compiled.
After this install the guest additions (apparatenbeheer). Click the "autorun.sh".
Reboot the system, and everything works.

While busy, you might want to install chromium:
> sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
