Welcome guys.
Here, I'll explain how to install Ubuntu Linux as a guest OS on Debian 9.0 Stretch Linux using VirtualBox.
Here are the specs of the Debian host OS:
command: lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 9.0 (stretch)
Release: 9.0
Codename: stretch
Lets go:
1) Install VirtualBox: how to install virtualbox
2) Set up your guest Ubuntu-OS. Launch VirtualBox
a) Click New: the Create Virtual Machine Window Opens
Name: Ubuntu<description here>
Type: Linux
Version: Select either 32-bit / 64-bit
b) Click Next: Memory size...use the scrollbar for a memory setting, depending on your available capacity. I usually do 1024MB
Click Next
c) Hard disk = Create a virtual hard disk now
Hard disk file type: Leave at default VDI (virtual box disk image)
click Create
d) The Hard disk file type window option opens(below)
Default option is VDI. Leave as is
Click Next
e) Storage on Physical Hard Disk
Leave at default: Dynamically allocated
click Next
