Re: error in installing guest addition
Nothing changed. It is stated that for older version of VB, i should edit xorg.conf.
As I said, I use lubuntu which use lxdm. There is no xorg.conf and I don't know how much important it is for VB 4.0.8
As far as I remember, I didn't have such problem with lubuntu 10.10.
any comment?

Re: resizing a vdi file
Are you sure?
As I said, I have created a 20GB vdi file (which represent a hard disk and not partition) and I now want to increase that to 80GB. Gparted doesn't do that. Because it says you can increase your partition ( / for example) up to 20GB.
