Have you installed Ubuntu, or do you want to run it from the cd? You don't need any sighted assistance to get Ubuntu installed. To switch over to the virtual machine, you can press command control return or you can press command g to grab the keyboard. I find the full screen feature more useable. Please let me know if you have more questions.
