At the very least you will need to allocate some more RAM, for example
with '-m 4096'; that will provide 4 GB RAM to the virtual machine. The
default of 128 megabytes is not enough.

But I agree with the other responders, you should copy the instructions
in our manual unless you need to do something specific.

I hope that helps!
