The only way to circumvent this is to ENABLE IO-APIC before you start the actual install. After the installation (right at the moment when Ubuntu asks you to remove the CD), close down the virtual machine, set the IO-APIC to disabled and restart in your &#8216;shiny Ubuntu&#8217;.

Yes, really.\n<\/p>\n<p>The virtual machine&#8217;s networking worked like a charm too: during my LiveCD session (pre-install), I forgot which key-combination switched the mouse between hosted and host mode: Ubuntu&#8217;s Firefox worked as it was supposed to do: which surprised me, since I couldn&#8217;t remember if I enabled the networking for this particular VM.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"extra\"><small><strong>Update 1:<\/strong> Screenshot added<\/small><br \/>\n<small><strong>Update 2:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/doc.gwos.org\/index.php\/VirtualBox\">Excellent article<\/a> about Ubuntu and Virtual Box.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple of days ago, Niels reminded me of VirtualBox (after I toyed around with both VirtualPC and VMWare Player).
