Any way to alter the Linux guest console colors?
I know this may be a stupid question but I'm running VBx on a Win7 system with Ubuntu 13.10 guest. The guest console always starts white on black. Is there any way to redefine the colors (foreground/background) to make them easier to see? Thanks.

Have you tried an Ubuntu forum? Or a Linux forum in general? This is definitely not a VirtualBox question.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

That's easy. You have to edit your .bashrc file in your home directory "~/"
