Ive installed Ubuntu inside of a Sun VirtualBox.
When I maximise the VirtualBox window the Ubuntu window stays the same size and does not dynamically grow with the size of the VirtualBox window.
Ive seen this done before. How do I set it up?
(And no Im not just looking for how to increase the screen resolution)
Thanks
You need to install the VirtualBox Guest Additions.
Go to Synaptics an mark the packages:
or go to the console and type:
This will enable most of the VirtualBox drivers in your system.
If you need USB support, you need to install the binary guest additions from the devices menu of your VirtualBox window instead. They have more functions than the OSE ones, but you need to install them manually. This is described at ubuntu-tutorials
