Screen resolution only displaying 800x600 in Xubuntu

xubuntu virtualbox windows-7 ubuntu-10.04 resolution

I am running Sun VirtualBox on a Windows 7 64-bit machine.

I have installed Xubuntu 10.4 as a virtual machine but cannot seem to find an easy way of altering the screen resolution. Any ideas?


Solution 1:

The issue is with VirtualBox.

You simply need to go to Devices » Install Guest Additions when you have Xubunutu running. This updates the OS.
