You can use ssh-keygen in the guest to create a login key, followed by ssh-copy-id ecs.ox.ac.uk to install it then you can access the lab machines without typing a password each time.This can be fixed, but it's simpler to avoid the problem. Installing VPN on the guest doesn't work so well, because DNS is no longer available on the guest. To do this from outside the Oxford domain, it works to connect to VPN in the host (Windows or MacOS), then SSH from the guest.
You can access the lab machines using SSH from the Linux guest and avoid the messiness of PuTTY on Windows.
(On Xubuntu, it's easier to change these individually than to poke about trying to change the system default.)
Reduce the size of the emacs font by doing Options / Set default font followed by Options / Save options. Change terminal to be black-on-white if that's what you like, or green-on-black if you're 1337. (On the Mac) add a hacked keyboard layout that makes Shift-3 map to #. Use the command sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms This isn't essential but supports cut and paste between host and guest, and makes the guest desktop resize automatically to fit the host window. Click on Mouse Whiskers and Terminal Emulator to get a shell prompt. When Linux comes up, type the password you chose earlier. When prompted, use the Devices menu and Optical Drives / Remove disk from virtual drive. (It's the MBR of the virtual disk we're talking about, rather than the MBR of your Mac hard disk – not that it has one.) Say Yes to 'Install the GRUB boot loader to the master boot record'. You could use 'Lubuntu minimal installation' instead, or neither for a text-mode installation. Osx virtualbox boot from usb without sudo command software#
At the Software selection screen, leave 'standard system utilities' selected and add 'Xubuntu minimal installation' (see screenshot). Choose No automatic updates and wait some more. 
There are several progress bars that slowly climb to 100%, only for another task to start back at 0% I hate that.
Wait while the basic parts of Linux are downloaded and installed. You have to select Yes explicitly to write the new partition table, but it's quite safe: you are operating on a virtual disk held in a file, not directly on the hard disk of your Mac. Partition using 'Guided – use entire disk'. Osx virtualbox boot from usb without sudo command full#
Type your full name, edit your username if you like, choose a password. Accept the defaults for the mirror of the Ubuntu archive. Choose a name for your machine if you like, though ubuntu will do. Under Windows, you're likely to want English (UK) and English (UK) again. Say No to Detect keyboard layout, and choose explicitly I used English (UK) and English (UK, Macintosh), though this gives £ rather than # for Shift-3. Use the arrow keys to choose English on one screen, United Kingdom on the next. You are now in a text-mode installer: stop clicking and start typing! Press Return to accept Install. There's no need to install a VirtualBox Extension Pack, but it does no harm if you do so. Double-click on the VirtualBox installer, (if on a Mac) double click on the parcel icon, and accept all defaults. We will use a minimal, text-based installer because that gives the option of installing only the parts of Ubuntu we need, omitting office suites, e-mail clients, web browsers and the like. Osx virtualbox boot from usb without sudo command 32 bit#
The 32 bit PC version will do, and it's safest to choose the latest LTS (long term support) version.
