i recently installed lubuntu 18.04 on a 32 bit laptop (toshiba) through a vbox, and it gave me these problems: 1. my laptop /vbox doesn't have the option for lubuntu 2. cannot boot lubuntu but there are other linux options (apart from lubuntu)

what should i do with this latest version of lubuntu on my vbox (lubuntu is a guest on windows 7) since lubuntu is not set as an option on the choices?

many thanks

The option to select the type of OS is just so that VirtualBox can determine the default settings necessary for the guest OS, and hence selecting Ubuntu on the menu will suffice.

  • Open VirtualBox and click on New.
  • Choose your guest OS and architecture (32bit and Ubuntu in your case)
  • Set your Base Memory (RAM)
  • Click next to get to the VM Storage Size. Input the size you require and click on "Create"
  • On the VirtualBox main window, select "start" and pick your install media. In this case, select the ISO of Lubuntu 18.04 that you've downloaded
  • Finish the installation as usual
  • Unmount the ISO after you're done

You can additionally install Guest Additions as mentioned here.
