I'm running Windows 11 Pro 24H2 and am trying to install Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS in VirtualBox. I keep getting a "Something went wrong" error every single time, it stops at the same spot. I am using a Ryzen 7 5800X, 64 GB of RAM, a Samsung SSD, and an AMD 9070 XT.
Here are some things I tried:
[*] Different Ubuntu .isos (24.04.3 LTS, 24.04.2 LTS)
[*] Re-downloading the Ubuntu Desktop .iso
[*] Fully uninstalling VirtualBox 7.2.0 and reinstalling VirtualBox 7.1.12, reinstalling extension packs for both
[*] Hyper-V was enabled in Windows Features, I disabled it and rebooted
[*] Verified virtualization is still enabled in my motherboard settings
[*] With and without using unattended install
I allocated 2 CPUs, 16 GB of RAM, and 50 GB for the HD.
Here is a screenshot of where it stops in the install process:
Here are some VirtualBox screenshots of my VM:
I will add a few more screenshots.
Edit: issue was resolved by detaching the network device, then enabling after the installer reboots.
