Almost certainly an image/vm mismatch.

I am a windows expert and moderately competent in Ubuntu.

My practice is to grab one of the one-click distributions and put my
image there. I've been teaching my kids using Stephane's Robot's book.
I used the One-click Seaside. We put it on a USB key and move it from
Windows to Linux depending on what machine is available.
