Re: Guest Additions screen fail: VirtualBox 5.1.22, Centos 7.3, Win10 host

Sorry - how do I determine my desktop manager?

I've tried running 'wmctrl -m' from the command line, but returns 'Cannot open display'

Re: Guest Additions screen fail: VirtualBox 5.1.22, Centos 7.3, Win10 host

ok. I have the same version of Centos - 7.3.1611.

What update are your referring to? Running 'yum update'?

Could the problem relate to the Intel HD Graphics 630 card? What card are you using?

You'll do a new install? You have enough detail to replicate my local environment?

If so, thanks. I appreciate the help very much.

Also, attached are the kernel details returned from 'rpm -qa kernel\*|sort'.

And, 3.10.0-514.16.1.e17.x86_64 is returned when 'uname -a' is entered.

The auto-resize option is greyed-out too (ie View>Auto-resize Guest Display).

Guest Additions screen fail: VirtualBox 5.1.22, Centos 7.3, Win10 host
