I installed Ubuntu Server 19.04 from VirtualBox on Windows Host. I have a terminal screen 800x600. VirtualBox does not provide me an option to change resolution.  How do I change the terminal resolution?  Tried:  1)  Downloaded VirtualBox Guest Additions from virtualbox.org, mounted media, and installed.  2)  sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-additions-iso  Wonder if the problem is because it's the Server version, and there's no graphic interface or X11.  Guest Additions installed:  $lsmod | grep vboxguest  vboxguest     331776     1  Looks like GRUB might have something to do with it.  Looks like I need a graphical terminal.

I tried many ways to make a bigger screen in VirtualBox because I do not like the small size of the guest window? Is there is a way to make it big?

I installed Ubuntu 18.04 After installation, I rebooted the computer, entered the grub menu, pressed e in ubuntu added the nomodeset option and Ubuntu presented the Gnome interface in a resolution of 1024X768 telling me: Unknown Display. So my question is how to install the drivers for my NVIDIA GTX 1050 graphics card

I used to edit the startup script for the GDM (/etc/gdm/Init/Default) to permanently change my display resolution.   How can I do this with LigthDM in Ubuntu Oneiric?

I have Ubuntu 12.10 on which I installed virtual box on which I setup Centos 6.4 i386. On Ubuntu I have: 3.5.0-17-generic kernel running.  On virtual box I install Centos 6.4 and everything works fine, however when I boot into VM machine, there is only on loopback interface. Nothing else. I tried to manually add ifcfg-eth0 file but nothing happens. On VM settings I have added NAT and HostOnly interfaces but whenever I boot into Centos there is just lo interface. What should I do?

I am running Ubuntu Server 14.04.4 under VirtualBox on a Windows server. When I first set up the machine I opted to put /boot on its own 230 MB partition. This turns out not to have been necessary for my situation and now I’d like to roll /boot into the much larger partition I use for /. How can I safely make this change?

I am using a laptop and ubuntu 11.04.

I tried resizing my VirtualBox disk (.vdi) with VBoxManage, but it didn't resize the hard drive.  The command while in the root folder of VirtualBox was:    VBoxManage modifyhd "C:\Users\&lt;name&gt;\VirtualBox Vms\Linux Mint 14.1\Linux Mint 14.vdi" --resize 30000.    The output showed 0%...20%....40%...100% looking like it was successful.  Now my .vdi in VirtualBox shows the virtual size as being 29.30gb, but the actual size is still 7.90gb.  When I boot into Linux Mint, it still notifies me that the hard drive is out of space.

I read on  that the netbook edition of Ubuntu was discontinued and that it is now integrated into the main distribution (as of 11.04).  I tried 11.04 on my new Samsung NC110-A06AU with 10.1" 1024x600 display. Most things worked out of the box, but some (like backlight power control) needed some  before they began to co-operate.  One thing that seems to be an ongoing problem is the resolution.  At 1024x600, most of the dialogue boxes run off the bottom of the screen, including the update manager. I have tried 11.10 beta 1 and it has the same problem.  Is there any way to fix this, or at least make it more usable? (I suspect not). Given the recent rise in popularity of netbooks, do you think Ubuntu will include a low-resolution-friendly version in the near future?  How well does KDE deal with these low resolutions? I noticed KDE Plasma has a netbook interface. Is it worth switching for that?

I'm using currently Ubuntu 12.04 LTS as a host machine, and I've virtualized three machines:   a Xubuntu 12.04 guest a Windows 7 guest a Ubuntu 12.10 guest   All the guests have the same VirtualBox default settings, but Ubuntu 12.10 is slower!  The installation took 1h 40 min! (Normally, it takes 40 minutes.) Now it is impossible to use it, and all operations are very, very slow.  I'm using VirtualBox version 4.2.4.  Any ideas?  Why is it slow? And how can I make it faster?

I was using 13.04 as a guest OS on my VirtualBox 14.2.18. Host is Windows 8. After upgrade to 13.10 Ubuntu does not start. I can see a black screen and blinking cursor. I am pretty new to Ubuntu. I suspect a problem with graphics drivers. I can access tty and all files (/home) are there.

I have an Ubuntu 14.04 server that has no external monitor connected.  I use NoMachine to remote control the machine.  When I do so, the Unity/Gnome interface doesn't see any monitors connected, so I can only use 800x600 when connecting with NoMachine.  If I plug in a monitor, I can set the resolution to whatever size the NoMachine window is on the remote computer.  Is there a way to create a "fake" monitor device on Ubuntu so I can set a desktop resolution in Unity/Gnome?

I upgraded to Ubuntu 19.04 from 17.10 and now I do not have anything on my desktop at all. I am running this on Virtual Box 6. I know enough about Unix to be dangerous, I just use it for developing websites.    From looking around various articles I have tried these commands as suggested but nothing has worked, any ideas?  From SSH I have tried these:  sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop sudo apt install --reinstall gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons sudo apt install --reinstall gnome

I am trying to install Guest Additions in VirtualBox with Windows XP host and Ubuntu 12.04 guest. I followed the above steps:  Devices-&gt; Insert Guest Additions CD Image. After that I locate the folder /media/VBoxAdditions4.3.4_91027/ and run sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run   I want to be able to create shared folders and adjust the resolution of the screen. I achieved to do the first issue, but I couldn't do the second one. I didn't get any message, however it is not possible to change the resolution of the screen and I cannot switch to fullscreen. What am I doing wrong?  I found in the instal log the following message: unknown version of the X Window System. I've tried the solution of the proposed link but I got the following message:  Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.

I am using Microsoft's Live Mesh program to remotely access a PC running Windows 7, running on 2 screens: one with 1920x1080 and the other 1920x1200 resolution.  I am accessing them via an old laptop with 1024x1078 resolution. The result is such tiny icons/commands that it is difficult to try and change the screen resolution from 2 high-res displays to the single low res display.  It would be great if there was a command line way of doing this. Or perhaps there is way through live mesh to do it. Any ideas?

I have an Ubuntu virtual machine running in VirtualBox 2.2.4, and I created it on an 8gb virtual disk which is too small.  So, I am trying to increase the size of the disk.  So far, I have done this:   Created a new larger virtual disk Added the 2nd disk to the machine Used CloneZilla to clone the first disk onto the 2nd disk Removed the first disk Booted up off the 2nd (larger disk)   But now I'm still stuck with an 8gb partition on my new 100gb virtual disk.  Whats the easiest path from here to having a 100gb partition? :) I gather GPart can resize partitions, but it doesn't seem to support LVM2 partitions, which mine seems to be.  thx   Alex
