Update: **Thank you, Paul, for having added the info!**

  * When installing Ubuntu you have to assign **more than 1024 MB RAM** to the VM otherwise the system **won't recognise input from keyboard or mouse**. Recommended are 4096 MB or half of your available RAM.

  * After installing, the window is very small and won't automatically resize if the window is extended. \\ To solve this follow these [[https://askubuntu.com/a/104445|instructions]].
