Since I'm trying to do the same (installing Ubuntu under VirtualBox),
what is your hardware when getting these results? In my notebook
everything went fine (even install), but I'm going to do the same in
not-so-good machines, and I don't know if I will be able to make it
(due to memory, in special: 256mb, while my notebook has 1gb). And two
final questions: how much did you select for memory in VirtualBox for
Ubuntu? After the config effort, did Ubuntu+Orca run well using
VirtualBox?

Sorry if this is off-topic, and thanks for any tips!
