Eveything fine then re-boot and not able to go into fullscreen.

Post by ChuckyBuck »

Had my Kali running all night with Win10 as my host. I had to shut my Kali down due to having to reboot my win10. When I brought my Kali back up it no longer will go into full screen. What could happen in that span of time. I don't know if it is my Kali or my Vbox.

Start the guest from full normal shutdown, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the guest from within the guest OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the guest with the Power Off option set.

Right-click the guest in the main Virtualbox window's guest list, choose Show Log. Save the far left tab's log, zip it, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

Also, right-click the guest in the main Virtualbox window's guest list, choose Show in Explorer. Zip the guest's .vbox file, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

Some how it seems to have fixed itself. Since my posting it hasn't done it. It started doing it as I described and continued for 2 days. I posted and it stopped. Maybe it fears this forum.

Thanks

A wise and noble fear....

My boss had an almost superstitious idea that all he had to do to get his computer to start working was to have me come and look over his shoulder at what he was trying to do. :lol:

If it starts again just come on back!
