Ho, I see. You are using the virtual box from sagemath.org. Then you can try

(not sure it will work though)

I can't seem to open up anything but Chromium (through which I am viewing
the sage notebook). How do I open up a terminal? I've tried Ctrl+Alt+T,
Alt+T, Shift+Alt+T with no effect.

Hello,

First of all none of your windows program can be used from the virtual
machine.

To install any software inside the virtual machine:
   - make internet available to the virtual machine
   - use the package manager to install new packages, in your cases the
packages are: "octave" and "texlive" (look over internet on how to do or
use "apt-get install octave texlive" in a console)

Hi,

I am new to VirtualBox but I have Sage running running now through it
but I
haven't a clue how to get octave & pdflatex installed on this virtual
machine. The OS of the virtual machine on which Sage is running is
Ubuntu
32 bit. My PC is Windows 7 64 bit. I have Octave installed on my host OS
(i.e., the Win 7 64 bit) and it is in my PATH environment variable.

Thanks for your time,
Brenton
