We need more information.  You should provide the exact command

Are you using CTAN TeX Live that you installed yourself or the
Ubuntu packaged version?   If CTAN, did you install TL on the windows
drive or in the virtual disk?

Does LateX work if you copy the file to the virtual disk?

Are you using a GUI environment to run LaTeX or the command
line?

What happens if you run "pdflatex sample2e" in a terminal?
