VM fullsize

Post by VinMont »

Hi guys,
I had virtual box in version 6.1, and then I upgraded to version 7 (7.0.6).
With this upgrade my virtual machines no longer have the fullsize screen!
I tried installing Guest Addictions, but it doesn't work. I also tried uninstalling and installing the old version of VB (6) hat was and it remains the same...
What can i do?

Regards.

That is not very informative.

Please provide a VM log file. Make sure the VM is fully shut down, then right click it in the manager UI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (no other file) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.

No, you have to zip and attach the whole log file, not cherry-pick a random line out of it, that wasn't the instructions you were given.

Start the VM from full normal shutdown, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the VM from within the VM's OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the VM with the Power Off option set.

Right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show in Explorer/Finder/File Manager. In the "Logs" subfolder, zip the VM's "vbox.log", and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab. (Configure your host OS to show all extensions so you can find the "vbox.log", not "vbox.log.1", etc.)
