Fullscreen on Linux Mint 13 Maya and upgrade?

[eiger3970]

Hi,
I reinstalled an VM OS and now I can't setup the full screen like I had before.
I have looked for Guest Additions which I installed previously, but there's no option.
I also haven't been able to find a Linux command to upgrade my VirtualBox 4.1.12?

Any help appreciated.

What is the host and where do you get VirtualBox from?

Hi, the host for VirtualBox is Linux Mint 13 Maya.
You get VirtualBox from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads

so tried another install of guest additions. Downloaded ok, but no VirtualBox > Devices > Install Guest Additions... , as per viewtopic.php?t=15679

Okay, so now I've reinstalled with Linux Mint 15 Olivia Mate 64-bit and reinstalled Virtualbox 4.2.10_Ubuntu r84101, however Fullscreen still won't work.

I open Virtualbox > Start VM > View > Switch to Fullscreen > Devices (on bottom panel) > Install Guest Additions... > VBoxGuestAdditions_4.1.10.iso 57.4MB file downloads to /home/linuxmint/Downloads.

It won't install for some reason?
Any suggestions welcome.

That's the Ubuntu fork of VirtualBox, which is their responsibility to support. We don't know what they changed, so we can't support it.
