Booting from USB is apparently not supported by VirtualBox. Using Google, there are people "out there" who seem to be working around it to some extent, mostly by making an image of the USB stick (copying it to hard disk) and then booting a VirtualBox VM from that on-hard-disk filesystem image, not from a real physical USB stick. Google just found me this one, for example: http://www.dallagnese.fr/computers-it/boot-on-your-usb-drive-in-virtualbox-4/ HOWEVER, if this is just for an Lubuntu install to a VM, why do you need to install from a USB stick in the first place? Just install from an Lubuntu ISO file that is on the local hard drive (or on a USB stick or on any filesystem the host machine can access). Worst case, if you are installing onto VirtualBox which is running under Windows for example, carry a USB stick that is formatted as FAT and has an Lubuntu ISO file on it. Windows can easily see that USB stick, and all the files on it, when it is plugged in. Then use that ISO as the "virtual CDROM" that the new VirtualBox VM uses during installation. Job done. No extension pack needed, no booting from USB needed. If that does not do what you need, please define more clearly what exactly you are trying to achieve that you think needs the ability to boot a VM from a USB stick.
