After applying all the settings for a new VM, I hit the green arrow <strong>Show</strong> icon to run on the top menu (with Ubuntu highlighted below). There was a list of OS iso files, but none were the right one. I pressed the little folder icon to select the file and got an error message.</p> <p>The workaround is to go back into VirtualBox and hit the golden cog <strong>Settings</strong> icon.  Select Storage. There’s a little CD with a down arrow icon on the right. Click that and select you .iso file. Now, everything should work like a champ.</p>
