Fullscreen problem of Ubuntu in VM
From Logic Wiki
View -> Switch to Fullscreen Mode (or HOST+F)
Right CTRL is normally the default HOST key.
You need to install the Guest Additions to be able to adjust the guest screen geometry to the host in fullscreen mode.

Why does a Ubuntu guest in VirtualBox run very, very slowly?

- Install VirtualBox Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack.
- Create a VirtualBox instance and install Ubuntu 12.10 on it.
- Install some required packages for the guest additions:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential
- Install the guest additions by clicking Devices, Install Guest Additions and running this command from the CD-ROM's directory:
sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
- Add the vboxvideo driver to the instance by running:
sudo bash -c 'echo vboxvideo >> /etc/modules'
- Shutdown the VirtualBox instance.
- Open the settings of the Virtualbox instance, navigate to "Display", and tick "Enable 3D acceleration".
- Boot your Ubuntu 12.10 guest, and check that 3D acceleration is working by running:
/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p
- If windows seem to disppear, install CompizConfig Settings Manager and disable Framebuffer Object (FBO) in the OpenGL section:
- Install the CompizConfig Settings Manager:
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
- Run the CompizConfig Settings Manager:
ccsm
- Select the OpenGL section and then untick the Framebuffer Object option. If this fixes the issue it should be immediately visible. No reboot is required.
