- VM’s Settings -> System -> check “Enable I/O APIC.”

How to set up an ssh connection from your wi-fi network
All the manuals suggest using port forwarding, like:
$ ssh user@remote_host -R 5555:localhost:22
but this doesn’t work if ssh tunnel shuts down. There is actually an autossh to solve this problem:
$ sudo autossh -M 0 -4 -N root@remote_host -R remote_port:localhost:22 -o “ServerAliveInterval 60” -o “ServerAliveCountMax 3” -o BatchMode=yes -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -i /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa
-i allows you to use pub key to authenticate yourself on the remote host, so you won’t have to always use a password
