I had a look at your logs, they showed the following entries:

That means you were connected to the Internet while installing Lubuntu:
the installer tried to fetch a list of the most recent packages to
install all updates and failed due to network issues.

Could you please reinstall again (before you install, make sure the
virtual network card is disconnected - right click on the network card
icon, click "Network cards" and deselect the "Cable connected" checkbox)
and tell me here how it went? (You can always update Ubuntu later).

Title:
  OS installer crashed

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  In the phase of copying files from media to fresh new installation,
  the installer crashes.

  PC is a virtual PC in VirtualBox, 512MB ram, 120GB VDI, at %50
  processor available (host processor is a 1stGen Intel i5 @ 2.40Ghz, 4
  GB RAM)  Virtual computer Hardware and Software options, are defaults
  for a new virtual PC.

  Allegedly, the problem is something with Piix handlers, but I'm just a
  user reporting an issue, don't believe me :)
