first, it's "VirtualBox" not "Virtual box". > I succeeded in getting Ubuntu to work, almost out of the box.

In such cases I've often seen problems in the Ubuntu guest. Go into /etc/udev/rules.d and look for 70-persistent-net.rules files. If there is one, delete this file. Then reboot. If you now have your networking back with this guest then the udev rule was responsible for the breakage. In that case you might also want to remove the rule which is responsible for generating this rule: 75-persistent-net-generator.rules in /lib/udev/rules.d. If you look at this file it contains a number of exceptions for virtual interfaces. > My question: Do the experts here see a relation between the way Windoes > XP Mode and Ubuntu in Virtual Box (no longer) work? > What should I look at? > I have no idea. > > I have made a copy of the Ubuntu vrtual machine, so I am not afraid of > trying something, but: WHAT?
