Archived thread 2082039 from Ubuntu Development Version. Markdown source: Ubuntu_Development_Version/thread_2082039_Can't_install_Xubuntu_13.04_in_VirtualBox.md
I've tried downloading both the 32bit and 64bit daily build and for whatever reason the installer doesn't seem to be working. I get up to entering my user info then all I get is the carousel but nothing else. It never asks for what type of install I want, i.e. entire disk etc.
I don't know if it's a VirtualBox problem or a 13.04 image problem. I see there was a post about the installer problem elsewhere.
any thoughts?

Yes, that's the thread I saw. I wasn't sure if it's a problem with the daily build or VirtualBox. Although several people seemed to have the same problem sometimes it's a hardware problem and no one seems to confirm it's the 13.04 image. I'm puzzled why they would release an .iso image no one can install.
is it with Oracle or ubuntu virtualbox version ?
note that ubuntu version is outdated and cant play with 3.7 kernel, but the Oracle one have no problem with it.

maybe related only to OSX, what logs can tell you ?

I'm not sure what logs I would be looking at. As I mentioned others are having the same problem even installing it directly to hardware according to this thread... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2081344
