Virtualbox does not open ISO files in Ubuntu. Everything I try.

Post by hamANDcheeseSANDWICH »

I have been having trouble lately with VirtualBox not opening the ISO file for Windows 10. I am using Linux/Ubuntu. I cannot select the file even on "All Files", one of you might have this problem too. If I am not doing it correctly, then sorry. It might also be an Ubuntu glitch too. Thank you for reading this. :?:

Your question is puzzling. VirtualBox does not "open" ISO files. You create a VM and then you insert the ISO (a virtual CD/DVD image) into the virtual CD drive of that VM.

See chapter 1 of the user manual.

If I have mistaken your meaning then please explain it better, maybe with a picture.
