I started using a Ubuntu from Virtual Box today because I was interested in Linux (I am not that good in coding, however) and found the design to be appealing.

People say to install 'guest additions' to the computer, but whenever I try to I get an error saying I can't mount the disk image.
How can I get the fullscreen effect?

I am running:

  • Linux Ubuntu 14.04
  • Virtual Box from oracle
    Does anyone have any idea how I can get past this?

    Can you make it noob-friendly, as I just started Ubuntu today?

    You installed virtualbox, but did you install virtualbox-guest-additions-iso virtualbox-guest-dkms virtualbox-guest-utils?

    • sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-additions-iso virtualbox-guest-dkms virtualbox-guest-utils

    Here is an Answer that has instructions on how to make virtualbox fullscreen, as well as a more detailed explanation of how to get Guest Additions installed.
