Debian 9 Graphics

Post by OptimisticShag »

I installed Debian 9 & the biggest issue was getting going with the resolution, really the guest additions. I know this has to be an issue only when installing additions but if I don't the resolution would be terrible. Please contact me to get the information, pretty soon, I'll post up but not able to attach anything bigger than 128 kb & can't post links for another day...

Zip the files, then you have no problem attaching them. Don't post offsite links, as most of us won't click them.

I wish I could but...
"You must be a member for 1 days and have 1 posts before you can post urls."
...Says for when trying to create a link for this post.

As for uploading a post...
"The file is too big, maximum allowed size is 256 KiB."
...Sadly too big of a zip file, even the rest of the documents are too big themselves.

I'll just wait a day then edit my first post including the link.

What on earth are you trying to upload? Anything that can legitimately be uploaded here, i.e. one relevant VM log file, will easily fall below the size limit for a zip file.

The additional png files were why it was to large to post.

Disable 3D acceleration in the guest settings and see if it works..

I wouldn't think of any other way to be able to post about my issue without them, easiest way to explain.
It's kind of like how this other guy is having the hot-plugging USB Adapter issue currently.
But thank you, that worked! We can close this now!
