    Regarding the failed install error, you need to make sure that VirtualBox is using UEFI - Legacy Boot isn’t currently supported at the moment.

    Had the same issue while using Boxes, switching it to UEFI allowed the install to complete successfully!

      Thanks, it gets a bit further, but this time fails with:

      grub-install: warning: Cannot set EFI variable Boot0003.
grub-install: warning: efivarfs_set_variable: writing to fd 6 failed: Read-only file system.
grub-install: warning: _efi_set_variable_mode: ops->set_variable() failed: Read-only file system.

        Interesting, I’m not too sure what could be causing that, but if I had to take a guess VirtualBox’s UEFI implementation doesn’t allow for writes from the VM, at least by default. It’s been a long time since I’ve used VirtualBox (since before UEFI was even really a thing), I don’t suppose there’s any sort of setting that might resemble making it writable?

          My version of VirtualBox is a few years old so I wouldn’t be surprised if it was lacking some features.

            If you’re using UEFI in VB, definitely update to the latest version. UEFI support in older VB was pretty bad. Works a lot better now, though I haven’t had time to test this new version of Vanilla OS, so YMMV.
