If there is stuff to be upgraded you will be asked if you want to continue just type y and hit enter.
#Virtualbox linux mint 17 password#
You will be asked to confirm the sudo command by typing in your password for your user. This updates all the repositories and upgrades Linux Mint.
#Virtualbox linux mint 17 update#
Open up a terminal and type sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get upgrade.
#Virtualbox linux mint 17 install#
It will ask you to press enter to remove the installation media this is just so it boots off the hard disk and does not Live boot again.Īfter it reboots you should be presented with a login screen click your username and type your password you set in step 9.Īnd that is it, our VM is installed with Linux Mint all we have got left to do is upgrade everything to the latest version and install VirtualBox guest additions, this will get rid of that annoying pop-up “Running in software rendering mode”.
Once the Installation is complete just click Restart Now. It will now start to install Mint into our VM this takes about 5 – 10 minutes depending on how you configured your VM. then you just have to choose a password then confirm that password and click Continue. It does fill a lot of this out for you once you have typed something in the Your name field. Type your name, the name you want to give this VM then what username you want to login as. and then keyboard layout and click Continue.
Next, you get a pop-up asking if you are sure you want to write the changes to disks just select Continue. It now wants to know how you want to partition your virtual hard disk as this is the only Operating system on this VM, just select Erase disk and install Linux Mint and click Install Now. Here I am going to click it but if your VM is kinda small or you would rather install them individually leave it unchecked. Now it’s going to ask us if we want to install the third-party software. You should get presented with a desktop just like this from here you can try out Linux Mint before actually installing anything onto the disk.Ĭlick Install Linux Mint and in a few seconds, you should get an Install window pop up select your language and click Continue. If everything has been done right Linux Mint will start to Live boot into the OS. Then just click ok and you are now ready to fire the virtual machine and start installing Linux Mint.

Now your Virtual Machine is created right click it and click settings this should bring up the settings window, go to storage and select the CD icon that says empty then select the CD icon to the right, you can now choose the Linux Mint ISO you download from the Linux Mint download page earlier. Make sure you click Dynamically allocated this will save on disk space if it is not needed. Select what type of Virtual Machine you would like to create, I’m going with VDI but you could just as easily create it as a VMDK if you wanted to use the same VM in VMWare. Now we are Creating the Virtual Hard disk, First choose where you want to save the VM and select how large a hard disk you want to create, again like with the memory this all depends on how much space you have on your host, the minimum is 9GB. Lastly, make sure Create a virtual hard disk now is selected and click Create. The minimum system requirements state that it should be at least 512MB but I’m going with 2GB, make your choice depending on how much ram you have on your host machine, but it’s quite easy to change at a later date. Start by giving your VM a Name, changing the type to Linux and as Mint is an Ubuntu-based system make sure the Version is set to Ubuntu (64-bit). Once VirtualBox is open click New and you should be presented with the Create Virtual Machine Window. So let’s get started by opening VirtualBox If VirtualBox is not already installed, check out my post on setting up a hacking lab. This Post is going to run through Installing Mint 18 (Sarah) into VirtualBox. You can download Mint from here and I will assume that VirtualBox is already installed and ready to go. Linux Mint is a Ubuntu-based distribution whose goal is to provide a complete out-of-the-box experience by including browser plugins, media codecs, support for DVD playback also because its Ubuntu-based, Linux Mint is compatible with Ubuntu repositories, Hell ” It’s my favourite distribution”.
