    VirtualBox window is small

    I've been Playing around with other Operating Systems with Ubuntu being the host. My only problem is that even at full screen, the virtual machine is as small as a netbook, the rest black. Is there any way to fix this?

    Install the vboxadditions for better graphic support then adjust resolution in your guest to suit.
