PCLinuxOS as guest VB 3.2.10

Post by loukingjr »

I recently installed PCLOS as a guest. Everything seems to work except, I can't drag the screen to resize the guest. Full screen works fine. There is also another issue. if I leave full screen, my Mac's menubar disappears. I have VB set to show it while in full screen but I didn't know that meant it wouldn't show it at all if not in full screen.

any thoughts?

I spoke too soon. sharing the clipboard doesn't work either.

I'm having trouble understanding why seeing PCLinuxOS is in the top ten, usually around 6 or 7, widely used Linux flavors, there seems to be no one here or over at PCLinuxOS themselves who knows the proper way to install PCLinuxOS as a guest.
