Greetings to you members of the forum. I have this problem: when installing the English version of Linux Rocky 8, everything works and it suits me so far, but when I try to go through the entire process of installing the system in Russian, the install button disappears. See screenshots. For testing Linux Rocky 8 I am using the latest version of Virtualbox. ![001](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/rockylinux/original/2X/3/35291b5666939d9461f60db8ed00e570e0f90f3a.jpeg) ![002](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/rockylinux/original/2X/3/3b863b8cefda04255cf3e8c7028e2845406b01b6.jpeg) ![003](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/rockylinux/original/2X/5/5a15417f166d6a4c7ed4751121145e05c9f0fd64.png) ---

The #2 capture shows that you have not selected the hard drive to install on. That is why the Install button is not available. The #3 capture is not showing the full screen. Click the dots in the lower right corner, and drag the window to the right to reveal what is being shown. ---

You do not understand me correctly. I’m not that stupid. I tried and changed the resolution of the host computer, tried different configurations of VirtualBox, tried it on another computer with the Windows 7 Ultimate x64 operating system. And the result is always the same. Try it yourself, you may have a different result. ![004](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/rockylinux/original/2X/0/08420d9985938f2234c128350aac4d872ed9364e.png) ---

I do understand you. I tried the install in russian, and the install button did not become active until I had the disk selected and a root password set. ![Screenshot-20211227143650-1496x1121](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/rockylinux/original/2X/6/6c6d6d05708e26ed6ea5f92ffc009bb36db74291.jpeg) ---

Is this the setup window from installing Linux Rocky on a real computer? Or is it a screenshot from a virtual machine? If this is a virtual machine, which one (Hyper-V, VirtualBox, VMWare)? When installing on a real computer and I have no problems, this problem is with the Russian installation of Rocky Linux 8 in the virtual environment VirtualBox. Thank you for helping me and spending your time on me. ---

The screenshot is from a virtual machine running KVM on an Ubuntu 18.04 LTS machine. I think your install button is being covered up by the virtualbox window. Look for a slider bar near the bottom of the visible screen. ---

Works as expected (I do not speak or read Russian) for me in VirtualBox on MacOS. ![rocky-dvd1-install-russian-language](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/rockylinux/original/2X/8/808bc9357a4ae3f1f1f713f39c9f31b955c350c9.jpeg) ---

Thanks to everyone who contributed to help. But I went the other way. I thought why do I need windows and rocky linux on a virtual machine, I’ll just install rocky linux directly on the computer and that’s it. I installed rocky linux on my laptop. Now I immediately have a LAMP for my web development and a workstation with an office and other programs. Rocky Linux is the best, goodbye Windows. God bless America. ---

In Jan 2020, I ditched Windows and moved to everything to open source. I made a big list of what may (or may not) work, but (two years on) I’m surprised how well everything works. ---
