Hi

I posted yesterday - after installation of any Ubuntu distro guests on windows max screen you can get is 800x600, no full at all.

So I`ve installed additions - ok.
then I`ve done also - sudo apt-get install build essential linux-headers-generetic.

Restared x11.

Still no results - HAS ANYONE ALTERNATE SOLUTION?????? :roll:

Since you installed the headers and build after you installed the Guest Additions you need to rerun the install guest additions.
Watch for any errors and you can also look at the logs see path below:
/var/log/vboxadd-install.log
/var/log/xorg.0.log

/var/log/xorg.0.log - iz empty
the other one shows errors but they are to be fixed during Additions installation.

An I still do not have any results, What cloud be wrong?

Does the guest have a graphical desktop, or is it just text?
