We assume that the VirtualBox package is already installed in the user's host machine

Starting the Virtual MachineEdit

  1. Decompress the DVDK compressed archive on your file system. You should see two files, with .vbox extension (the virtual machine definition) and .vdi extension (the actual virtual machine):

     

  2. Start the Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager

     

  3. Click on Machine and select Add

     

  4. Navigate your file system and select the .vbox file previously decompressed
  5. Launch the virtual machine clicking on the start icon:

     

  6. VirtualBox will open three message windows, you can click "Ok" to close them
  7. When the boot process is completed, you can login into the Ubuntu system

     

    with the following credentials:
    • username: nelk
    • password: nelk

Guest Additions UpdateEdit

Once logged in, the system could suggest to update the Virtualbox Guest Additions package (http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html). You can follow the on screen instructions to easily update the package.
