Ubuntu Virtual Machine - Not Full Screen Size #2

Open mmcky opened 8 years ago

mmcky commented 8 years ago

Hi All,

There are a few students who have reported not having full screen size. To get this to work properly it is best to install the virtual box add-on for Ubuntu.

Steps:

  1. Run your Ubuntu Virtual Machine
  2. Open a Terminal
  3. Run ...
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms

because this requires sudo privileges you will need to enter your password.

Note: You will need to reboot your virtual machine once this has finished installing for the settings to take effect.
