Unfortunately the host-only adapter had to be created manually via command line, at least in previous versions.

Depending on the guest distribution, the network interface has to be configured before getting am address.

Only if the host and guest will download something at the same time, otherwise not. -
@electrineer virtual box can run many instances without issue.
Ubuntu being used as a server makes as much sense as installing IIS on windows home.
Somethings you just don't do. -
Never had this issue, I had an ubuntu 16 server running in virtual box recently when debugging a problem with our production (on a copy of the system, but not cloned, installed from scratch) it was the server version tho, headless ofc. Non the less I used to run client ubuntu in VB before without issues too. Did you install the Virtual box additional tools thing?
W...w...wha...whaaat?!
I'm not sure if I should be Happy or Sad about this :/
Finally! I can switch from English to modern hieroglyphics.
Holy fucking shit, I hate ubuntu SO much.
So what it happened..
I was tryin to set up an Ubuntu server on my machine using virtual box, and I know what you are thinking, "VirtualBox?" yeah its the only machine I had lying around and it had windows and I didn't wanna re-format its hard drive.
So Here how it goes...
Install went fine.. But when I was trying to manage multiple network interfaces, it was Terrible & pain in the ASS 😡...
So initially I needed 2 network interfaces, one for NAT adapter and another Host-only interface for SSH and stuff.. so I made changes in virtualbox settings and rebooted the VM. and it stuck on "a start job is running for wait for network to be configured" I was like okayy and removed host-only adapter and rebooted, it booted fine :/ then I tried combo of bridged adapter with my Ethernet and a host-only adapter, and what? it booted finally! but this wasn't an optimal solution because it had and IP address within subnet of other devices with my router and half the bandwidth (like 50mbps or something).. I reverted back to NAT network & I checked with ifconfig and it STILL didn't had an IP address assigned to it for Host-only adapter!! FFS I deleted the VM and reinstalled the whole thing again but this time both interfaces attached..
after installing it stuck on same shit again :'(
"a start job is running for wait for network to be configured"... FUCK!
after about an hour of troubleshooting and trying different configurations, I still couldn't get it to work.. I never had such problems with centOS.
Fuck you ubuntu.. fuck you in the ass
