Download Ubuntu desktop and replace your current operating system whether it’s Windows or Mac OS, or, run Ubuntu alongside it. We recommend the 64-bit download.

Alvin Nyau - Updated onVirtualBox is a powerful virtualization software available for all major platforms, including Linux Ubuntu. VirtualBox is developed by Oracle and is widely used by enterprises and home users from all around the world. Here’s how to download and install VirtualBox Ubuntu 18.04 or 16.04 64 bit (Linux) latest version.

These virtual machines can be Windows, Mac OS or Linux based OS. There are two ways to download and install VirtualBox for Ubuntu 18.04 / 16.04. You can download and use the VirtualBox for Ubuntu package, or add the VirtualBox repository to your system and install it directly from Ubuntu.

Note that the VirtualBox package download architecture (64-bit or 32-bit) has to match your Ubuntu Linux kernel architecture. That said, if you are using Ubuntu 18.04 or 16.04 64-bit, you will need to install AMD64 package. It doesn’t matter if you have an AMD or an Intel processor. Anyway, VirtualBox doesn’t support Ubuntu or other Linux based OS in 32-bit environment. Here’s how to download VirtualBox for Ubuntu 18.04, 17.04 or 16.04 64-bit.
You can download VirtualBox 5.2.18 for Ubuntu 18.04 from here, for Ubuntu 17.04 from here, and Ubuntu 16.04 from here.

I have been trying all morning to find the right Ubuntu Server (12.04) ISO to use for installing an Ubuntu guest OS on my VBox VM.
Here are the relevant stats:
- Host Machine: AMD 64-bit
- Host OS: Ubuntu Desktop 11.04
- VM OS: Linux
- VM OS Version: Ubuntu
- ISO downloaded and attempted:
ubuntu-12.04-server-amd64.iso
When I try to start the VM I get a main menu, the first option reads Install Ubuntu. When I select that, I get an error message:
This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU. Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU.
Edit: That message makes me think that I have a 32-bit machine but am trying to run a 64-bit ISO. I am confident that this is 64-bit, however, as uname -m produces x86-64 in the terminal...and executing lscpu produces:
Here's the kicker: I downloaded the ISO on a Windows machine, because my Ubuntu machine (the one running Ubuntu Desktop 11.04 and hosting the VM-to-be) has crummy network connection. So I downloaded to a Windows client, put the ISO on a flash drive, copied it over to my Ubuntu machine, and saved it locally. I'm wondering if the download page saw that I was trying to download from a Windows client and swapped out the x86-64 version for i686? Otherwise I downloaded the wrong ISO.
Can someone please tell me what the right ISO is? I thought for sure the AMD 64-bit version would be exactly what I needed.

Your ISO is probably the correct one. What you need to do is make sure you are setting up a 64bit Virtual Machine. From the VBox website (emphasis mine):
64-bit guests
VirtualBox supports 64-bit guest operating systems, even on 32-bit host operating systems, provided that the following conditions are met:
You need a 64-bit processor with hardware virtualization support (see the section called “Hardware vs. software virtualization”).
You must enable hardware virtualization for the particular VM for which you want 64-bit support; software virtualization is not supported for 64-bit VMs.
If you want to use 64-bit guest support on a 32-bit host operating system, you must also select a 64-bit operating system for the particular VM. Since supporting 64 bits on 32-bit hosts incurs additional overhead, VirtualBox only enables this support upon explicit request.
On 64-bit hosts (which typically come with hardware virtualization support), 64-bit guest operating systems are always supported regardless of settings, so you can simply install a 64-bit operating system in the guest.

On any host, you should enable the I/O APIC for virtual machines that you intend to use in 64-bit mode. This is especially true for 64-bit Windows VMs. See the section called “'Advanced' tab”. In addition, for 64-bit Windows guests, you should make sure that the VM uses the Intel networking device, since there is no 64-bit driver support for the AMD PCNet card; see the section called “Virtual networking hardware”.
If you use the 'Create VM' wizard of the VirtualBox graphical user interface (see the section called “Creating your first virtual machine”), VirtualBox will automatically use the correct settings for each selected 64-bit operating system type.
So, just try creating a new Virtual Machine and select Ubuntu 64 as the OS. All the settings should be correctly configured by VirtualBox and you should be able to install with no problems.
terdonterdonYou can download from one of the mirrors directly. And yes ubuntu-12.04-server-amd64.iso is the correct 64bit version.
Perhaps you are running a 32bit base OS. Run uname -a to check the kernel version.
Below is an example of a 64bit output.
