Hi
Not sure this is the right forum but here goes -
I have installed Ubuntu DT as a VM in Virtual Box running on my work laptop.
I'm having a frustrating time trying to up the screen resolution and to get the Guest Additions to work.
At one point I had a large enough screen but then found I couldn't get cut and paste to work between my host (Win 7) and guest.
I reinstalled guest additions and now have a tiny screen again and still no cut and paste.
Can anyone walk me through how to resolve these issues?
Screen
I did have about two resolutions higher than this at one point but wasn't too sure how I got them as I just kept trying different things that turned up on Google searches until they appeared.
It would be nice if someone could spell out a more systematic approach for me...
Thaks in advance for any help
Brad
