On the page – ‘Specify Disk Capacity’ – simply leave the default settings and hit the – you guessed it – button, then finally press the button. On the page you give the image a name and specify a location for it – make sure you create a new folder unless you want all the virtual machine files to get mixed up with existing directory contents (been there, done that, swore profusely!). Set the guest operating system to ‘Linux ‘- I’m guessing that bit is obvious – and set the ‘Version’ to ‘Ubuntu’ (since Lubuntu is a reduced Ubuntu). Note you’ll get a warning that VMWare doesn’t recognise it, but that’s only to be expected: Navigate to and select the ISO you downloaded (mine was ).

UBUNTU 14.04 ISO DOWNLOAD FOR VMWARE HOW TO
But VMWare player being older than Lubuntu, plus Lubuntu missing some components (hey, its a lightweight Linux so that’s OK … and it’s why I’m using it), oh and finding out how to get the whole thing to auto start turned out to be the most time consuming (if ultimately the most simple) part of the exercise. I’ve made a few virtual machines in the past and installing the tools was usually easy. No VMWare image was available and I need VMTools so as to move data twixt Lubuntu and the Windows Host. OK, time to get busy and make a new image. Ah, Chrome won’t upgrade on an OS that old ! Oh well, time to try the latest Lubuntu 14.04.
Ah, Adblock won’t install on a Chrome that old. Well, it all started when I wanted – no, needed – to install Adblock Plus in Chrome on my old Lubuntu 11 virtual machine.
