Hello guys, i have a big problem, so im using a ubuntu guest on win 10 host and i wanted to be able to have full screen and shared clipboard, so i instaled the Guest Addition.
After installation its all bugged, the full screen mode doesent really work neither doese my Mouse.
So, when i drag the screen bigger or go into full screen mode, mostly all my display is black (see pic) and my mouse clicks doesent work in the "not black" area, but it does work on the keystorkes at the side and when i open the Menue.
My Pictules will explain better i hope:
when im not in full screen mode, it also doesent work.

Re: Guest Addition Ubuntu, Full screen dont work, Mouse dont work
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 Log. Save the far left tab's log, zip it, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

Re: Guest Addition Ubuntu, Full screen dont work, Mouse dont work
You have not installed the Guest Additions. All you have are the ancient fossils built into the Ubuntu distro. These are no good with current graphics controller.
I also suggest that you give the VM 2 cores (I do mean 2, not more). Also increase graphics RAM to 128MB and enable 3D acceleration.
The menu item "Insert Guest Additions CD" does precisely that: a CD is inserted into the virtual CD drive of your VM. You then need to install the GAs by whatever mechanism the guest OS uses.00:00:28.315908 VMMDev: Guest Additions information report: Version 6.0.0 r127566 '6.0.0'

I'll ad one thing, GAs in a Linux VM have prerequisites, same as for Virtualbox on a Linux host: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04. ... ions-linux and https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch02. ... nux-prereq

Okay, thank you!
What i did now:
Updating my VB to Version 6.1.34 and also downloading the corresponding Guest addition
Then i did the steps from here with the terminal ( Not allowed to send URLs here yet , so its from IT' zGeek : "How To Install VirtualBox Guest Additions On Ubuntu 20.04" )
and changed the settings as u told me
Sadly its still the same :/also suggest that you give the VM 2 cores (I do mean 2, not more). Also increase graphics RAM to 128MB and enable 3D acceleration
my Log File now looks like this, can u tell me if Guest Addition is installed the right way now? i feel like my problem is somwhere else

Re: Guest Addition Ubuntu, Full screen dont work, Mouse dont work
FWIW, the same issue has been reported twice lately (Upgraded to Jammy Jellyfish and desktop is unusable with Guest Additions, Guest Additions not working properly on Ubuntu 22.04 host), without any reported solution yet.

Guest Additions have prerequisites in Linux, same as Virtualbox on the host, see https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04. ... ions-linux and https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch02. ... nux-prereq. Also, watch the terminal installation report when running the GAs installer. Error messages will show if the install ran into a problem.00:00:29.798969 VMMDev: Guest Additions information report: Version 6.0.0 r127566 '6.0.0'
We're not ready to declare a bug yet. Also, check if your VM is using a Wayland desktop. If so, try regular X.
