• When I enter the below command

  sodo tasksel install ubuntu-desktop

  The packages are not installing on my mac

• if in the future i delete the VM, the used storage will be restablished and free back again?

• For some whom might have problems :

  1. make sure to run : sudo apt-get update
  2. (tasksel is deprecated so u can skip : sudo apt-get install tasksel + sudo tasksel install ubuntu-desktop) instead run : sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^

• Can I do it in a MacBook Air M1 lock for iCloud?

• Very useful. Thanks!

• THANKS !!! In all the tutorials I followed, none talked about the step at 4:17 (eject ISO). So I entered a loop. I now have a working Ubuntu installation. Big thanks.

• Very nice video my friend, I was stuck in one step after installing tasksel, I tried with the sudo install tasksel ubuntu-desktop and it didn't work. I just the command as "sudo tasksel" and it worked!!!

  Just in case someone gets stuck like me

• quick question, tassel installation worked fine, but when I try to install to get the GUI version it doesn't process. do you know why this is?

• is there anyway to get ubuntu to connect the internet?

• Just want to say thanks for making a video that isnt all fluff and BS. Real fine job helping me get past a block.

• Your missing the main part which is networking and using an ssh client to remote into the VM in UTM 🙂

• QEMU exited from an error: qemu-aarch64-softmmu: device requires 67108864 bytes, block backend provides 540672 bytes

• thanks man

• Its showing a blank screen with a cursor and does not move forward with Ubuntu installation! using Ubuntu 22.

• Hi, thanks so much for sharing. I am using Ubuntu 22 now and the command has changed, it is “sudo tasksel install desktop”.

• I installed the packages successfully in the ubuntu terminal but did not get the purple installation page and after rebootiing it still comes up with the terminal

• When i do sudo tasksel install ubuntu-downloads nothing happens 🙁

• Thanks Jack

• Thanks for sharing, I have now Ubuntu VM with on my Mac M1

• You’re a life saver 💋

• Hi, I followed along but it doesn't give me the up and down arrow key control to select "Install Ubuntu", instead it gives me a black screen saying
  UEFI Interactive Shell v2.2
  EDK II
  UEFI v2.70 (EDK II, 0x00010000)
  Mapping table
  BLK2: Alias(s) :
  VenHw gibberish
  BLK1: Alias(s) :
  PciRoot(0x0) gibberish
  BLK0: Alias(s):
  PciRoot(0x0) gibberish
  Press ESC in 5 seconds to skip satrtup.sh or any other key to continue

  and then it gives me a shell of sorts.

  Any idea how to fix this?
