Hi,
I'm new here and new to Linux in general. If this post is in the wrong place, I apologize. Anyway, I have been trying to install Linux distros in a virtual machine (Oracle VM VirtualBox) and I have been unsuccesful 100% of the time. Yeah, I know.. yikes, right? I have watched plenty of YouTube tutorials and I am doing everything exactly as they do, but still it does not work. I have the latest version of VirtualBox and the latest distro of Ubuntu. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong? I'll provide an image of what I get after starting the virtual machine. That image of what appears to be a keyboard = human inside of a circle is all I ever get. Hitting any key inside of the vm does nothing.
