Only the basic functionality is available right now, which means that you cannot use the same method of changing screen resolution as for Windows and Linux guest OSs running on VirtualBox after installing Guest Additions. We considered this method in the blog post about installing Ubuntu on VirtualBox.
Installing Guest additions from online package repositories with your package manager is possible, but at this time there remain some disadvantages caused by package dependencies. In order to install Guest Additions and make VirtualBox full screen for Linux guests, do the following:.
Now you can change the size of the VM window, and the resolution of your guest Linux will fit the size of the VM window automatically. Using a full-screen mode for a virtual machine is convenient and allows you to appreciate the advantages of hardware virtualization. This feature allows you to use the guest OS on the VM much as it would be used on a host machine for high resolution applications, large workspace, etc. The first method is using VBoxManage, the command line VirtualBox management tool, for changing resolution manually.
The disadvantage of this method is that you have to shut down the VM to change the guest OS display resolution. Automatic changing resolution in real time when resizing a VM window or entering a full-screen mode is possible for Windows and Linux guests after installing Guest Additions. This is the second method that is available. Subscribe today to our monthly newsletter so you never miss out on our offers, news and discounts.

Virtual Appliance — Simplicity, Efficiency, and Scalability. I can find no equivalent to the Pause key on a Type Cover. Considering that the version of Windows 8 that ships is the Pro version, that supports Hyper-V, I find it strange that Microsoft appear not to cater for this key combination, or allow it to be changed in Hyper-V. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. I have just been using the "Restore Down" button on the pinned VM bar at the top of the screen.
It would be possible to go fullscreen if the resolution inside the vm is less than host resolution. The 2 pixels are reserved for floating toolbar. If you do not want the floating toolbar, you can click the unpin button, which hides the toolbar automatically and will appear only if you move mouse to the top edge of the screen. Thanks, Rashmi U.

Solution; I switched back to VPC which runs fine bit. I still don't understand why it doesn't work, but have no time to figure it out Thanks, all Wednesday, February 17, PM. Hi Rashmi, I'm having a similar problem I need those extra 2 pixels to run a software program that needs pixels to run.
