Ubunut 18.04 with DisplayLink

Post by svbhvman »

I just installed Ubuntu 18.04 when my Windows SSD died and run into an issue with VirtualBox. I have a multiple monitor setup with my laptop display as the main monitor and three 24 inch monitors surrounding it. The issue is that when I make any guest full screen on monitors 2 or 4, the user interface shows on the correct monitor but the guest opens on the other monitor ( 2 -> 4 and 4 -> 2 ) so my user interfaces are above the wrong guest when I have multiple guests open. If I go full screen on monitor 1 or 3 then everything is normal. Any ideas on why this is happening and how to fix it?

Can you define "user interface" and "guest" ? I can't quite understand what primarily "user interface" refers to...
