Building Ubuntu VM challenges

Well, shoot.  

Finding the right ubuntu ISO's is a huge PITA.  No wonder Linux never succeeded on the desktop 🙂

Seriously, most of the links in the testing guide aren't valid anymore.  All of the arm links I can find for 21.x releases are for server only.  And for 22.04, the installer crashes and won't work.

Tried Debian too, but for the life of me I can't get the tools to install.  I know I'm rusty, but wow this is a major challenge.

Thanks I'll give that a shot

Another fix to this is to use the netboot image from Ubuntu. I installed it and it works like a dream for me.

when i add 

acpi=force

to boot and press ctrl x it just gets stuck on booting a command list

A new preview is dropping tonight.  Wait and try again with that one - the workarounds will likely no longer be needed.
