you can't do this directly, you should do it through sudo (being superuser).

Anyway....

At first look ignored the message of the terminal in your first email. It
doesn't seems a problem with FLUKA or FLUPIX distribution. Looks there's
something with your virtual machine configuration.

The "Killed" signal is generally the result of a hungry program that tries
to allocate too much memory (can also be the "wanted" byproduct of the kill
command)

I would guess your virtual machine is still configured for the old flupix
(256MB or 512 MB of RAM). I would bet a beer is that.
Beef up the RAM on your virtual machine (at least 1 GB if you can...)

In case it's not that:
1) I lost a beer
2) Could you post the full configuration you are using? Host computer,
total RAM and architecture VBox version, and the configuration you are
using for flupix (RAM, cores assigned to the machine etc...)

Best
V.
