Are you sure that the guest additions are installed and properly?
Look in /var/log/vboxadd-install.log and see if there were errors.
You need to make sure that the OS is set to compile modules by:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install dkms build-essential linux-headers-generic
Then mount the additions and run them as sudo. If they are installed properly you can use the host+f toggle to go in and out of full screen or the mouse click drag to set it where you want. Also make sure that the auto-resize feature is activated by using the host+g toggle to turn it on and off.
