Yes, as long as you select the network driver (as usual). I can access MT from Ubuntu just fine.

Are icons really important ?

@Malware Test, A lot of times this happens to me too. If you connect via VirtualBox, you are actually connecting to the internet via "Virtual Ethernet Cable" so when you are in virtualbox it is normal for that icon to appear.

It's five bars or the Ethernet icon?

It's caused by VirtualBox. The solution is uninstall it
