    Ubuntu won't finish last step of installation through VirtualBox

    I began installing Ubuntu through VirtualBox. Everything works fine until I get to the end and am prompted to remove installation media and press ENTER. Nothing happens when I press ENTER.

    Does anyone have any idea about what I am doing wrong?

    Maybe you have to select the Host key (normally the control key of the right side) in order to attach the keyboard to the window where Ubuntu is being installed.

    Hi Ruthie,

    Did you ever get this working? I have exactly the same problem. I have tried this on different machines - 1 Toshiba running VirtualBox on XP and 1 Macbook Air running VirtualBox. Both stop at the same place. But Virtual Box says the media is no longer mounted..
    Quite strange.

    And you used your "Host" key?

    I had the same problem. I just closed the VM. Figured this wasn't a major issue.
