How to Make VirtualBox Full Screen for Ubuntu-CodePudding

Many people using Linux by Virtualbox to work. The main problem, when you install linux distro, you cannot use it on fullscreen... We are in 2022 and there is no a simple way to use VirtualBox on fullscreen.

Can you tell me if I can setup easily fullscreen on virtualbox with linux distros ?

CodePudding user response：

Here my solution :

Click on Devices > Insert Guest Additions CD image
Reboot the VM

Then:

sudo apt-get install virtualbox-dkms
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms
sudo apt-get remove libcheese-gtk23
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-x11

This is what I have done:

- went to Devices and then clicked on Insert Guest Additions CD image

- on Ubuntu OS pop-up opened and I clicked yes/accept/OK (can't remember exactly)

- terminal opened by itself and inserting Guest Additions CD image started

- when process was over I rebooted the Ubuntu Virtual Machine.

After that, if you really want to go full screen you can press [your host key] F.
