• How to connect Ubuntu to the Internet?

Run Oracle VM VirtualBox (this is what I am using, you may use other VirtualBox). Open the settings in the supervisor, choose network, enable network connection, connection type: bridge network card, the name of the interface: Select by actual occurrence.

If you want ubuntu to use fixed IP, you may set it up in “Ubuntu/etc/network/interface”.
