[SOLVED] Virtualbox fullscreen

[Malice007]

I installed Virtualbox and when I go to full screen it blows up the virtualbox window to full but the os running in it stays the same size... I am not running any desktop effect. I would just like to
when I tell it full screen show me the whole screen just like it was not running off of Ubuntu? Is this possible?

Humm..... that's interesting. Are you going to full screen by using the correct command?
You do this by pressing the Right side ( Ctrl F )

If thats not the issue then it sounds like a Video problem and we'll have to wait for
more responses because thats beyond my knowledge with this particular application.

I had the same problem for a while. While you have you guest OS running select "install guest additions" from the devices menu. Reboot when prompted and when it comes back up host + F should take it to full screen. You may need to readjust you resolution and color depth.

I always start virtualbox on another X session, without gnome-session, so I have no bars and whatnot. Then when I open VirtualBox fullscreen, there are no bars to hinder me

This fixed the problem for me as well. Here is a link to installing the guest additions.
