installed ubuntu on VM (virtualBox). How do I get the right screensize without losing real estate from the ununtu desktop within the vm virtualbox window. Can't see the full desktop.
1 Answer
Start your Virtual Machine
Select 'View' in menu bar
Select 'Auto resize guest display' option
Install Guest Additions and Extension Pack.
Also, if you installed Virtualbox from the software center, uninstall it and get the latest version from here: virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Auto re-size guest display or hitting the host+G keys, is dimmed out so I cannot select it. How does one get the option available? Thanks!! Oct 19, 2014 at 17:56
