Font size issue on VirtualBox - while running Cloudera 5.8.0

[Sat2016]

Hi,

I am running Cloudera 5.8.0 using virtual box. When I import it, the font szie is too small for all application. Please find the attached scrrenshot.

Please help me on the same.

Thanks,
Satish.

by seeing at the attached image, you feel the font size is correct, but on real screen it's too small (size 3-4).

If you go to VM settings » Display » Screen, what's the value of "HiDPI Support"? After you've completely shutdown the VM, what happens if you toggle it?

This is what I have in the settings for screen.

I should have mentioned it from the first post; next time, please shrink your attached images by 50% (at least). Not everyone is blessed with a HiDPI display

You seem to have an old version of VirtualBox. Please read the following: Minimum information needed for assistance.

I am using Version 5.1.8 r111374 (Qt5.5.1)

Please provide a VM log file. With the VM fully shut down, right click it in GUI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (ONLY) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.

Please refer the attached log file.

Moved to "Linux Guests".

So you seem to be saying that fonts are too small inside a guest app?

What exactly is the guest OS? The log only says "Linux".

You have allocated way too much host RAM to this guest. I'd cut it to 6GB. And increase graphics RAM to 128MB.

• The Cloudera VM is based on CentOS 6.4 64-bit. Change the operating system Type and Version in the VM settings.
• As mpack mentioned, adjust the RAM and vRAM settings.
• Your "base" is in "C:\MyWork\Work\", while the snapshots are in "C:\Users\Satish S\VirtualBox VMs\Cloudera-5-8-0\", which is fine, except I have a problem with the existence of "C:\MyWork\Work". Unusual location, not supposed to be there, unless you went outside your OS's guidelines.
• Your host resolution is 3184x1478. Not quite standard, and I think that's your problem. You have modified your host (most probably the DPI) to see things better, but that doesn't apply to the guest.
