You do not specify in any degree of detail,whether you want UBUNTU server in a container,or for use as a Hardware Node.
I for one,use the default OS of CENTOS5 LINUX,on my HN.
Assuming the former,if I was going to attempt running OpenVZ with an UBUNTU HN,
1. Patch the UBUNTU kernel rev. level,with a patched vanilla kernel of the same level,or apply patch yourself.
2. OpenVZ uses the RPM package manager "YUM",and not SYNAPTIC,for
*.deb packages.
There is a program called "ALIEN",that will install *.rpm software,to a DEBIAN type OS. (I personally have not tried it,but my friend "swears" by it. But,then again,he swears by a lot of things. Take it as a grain of salt.)
If all that can be done,your OS will boot into the OpenVZ kernel,and you can then use OpenVZ.
Assuming the latter,itstalling UBUNTU server in a VPS,either requires a pre-configured template of the OS,or you can create one yourself.
I'm sure,there is an OS template cache available from OpenVZ.
Installing a template cache instructions,can be found in OpenVZ
documentation,or on the WIKI.
You could then use your UBUNTU server media disk,to install additional software in the VPS,without the Internet.
Unless there is a specific reason for the potential HN to run
UBUNTU,I would switch to a supported OS. (CENTOS 5)
I for one,like DEBIAN LINUX,for running on low-end PC's.
I however,do not care for the UBUNTU version.
Baring my remarks,I have two DEBIAN containers running.
I hope this sends you in the right direction.
