I am using MacOS Mojave and have installed VirtualBox VM. My OS in VM is Ubuntu. My problem is that I want my VM machine to be fullscreen. I have tried every method given on stackoverflow but none seems to work.
I have read that
Oracle VM VirtualBox does not provide Guest Additions for Mac OS X at this time.
I found the above statment on https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch14.html Does this mean that fullscreen is not possible?
If there is a way to fullscreen, then kindly let me know.
Edit: Removed Image
It is possible for Guest Ubuntu to get fullscreen in Host Mac. You need to install Guest Additions. You can get them(for virtualbox 6.1) here-
Guest Addtions
-
Open your Terminal.
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-utils
I just updated (clean) my OS, How can I restore all of my old vagrant box If I have backup of my home folder.
Old OS: ubuntu 14.04
New OS: ubuntu 15.04
All boxes are stored under the ~/.vagrant.d folder so if you copy the folder from the old OS, vagrant should be able to recognized them and use them for your VMs
Then you can verify that your box are available by running vagrant box list
Note: better to install vagrant on the new OS before copying the files.
I have a problem with Vagrant, trying to initialize a virtualbox with laravel/homestead box.
I have installed latest version of Vagrant (1.7.4) on my Windows 8 OS.
I have installed Oracle VirtualBox 5.5.0.
Then I did this in windows Command Prompt:
vagrant add box laravel/homestead to add the laravel homestead box
vagrant init laravel/homestead
and
vagrant up
After vagrant up somewhere in the process the system fails with BSoD (KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED)
Any ideas of what i could have done wrong, or have anybody experienced this problem?
Thank you!
Make sure you don't have Hyper-V windows resource active.
If you had installed Docker before check this, coz Docker needs Hyper-V.
In my case this works for me
Search for "Windows resource" on your windows start menu, and click on Enable or Disable windows resources, find Hyper-V, uncheck all checkboxes and OK. Restart your machine after this.

I had almost same issue(BSOD gave error SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION).
Yesterday I installed Docker on Windows 10 and today I tried to "vagrant up"(using VirtualBox Provisioner) and got the BSOD. Hyper-V was conflicting and I turned it off from "Windows Features" and the issue got resolved.
I am able to get Vagrant to communicate with Virtualbox without any problems (using Vbox headless and VBoxManage). However for some reason, the VM failed to boot up. When I try to bring it manually from Virtualbox, it just gives me a black screen with no indication of a presence of linux image. There is no communication (from vagrant) after trying to boot-up presumably because the VM isnt booting. It just times-out.
I tried with several vagrant boxes but same result. (Ubuntu Images - quantal and precise)
Versions
Vagrant 1.3.3
Virtualbox 4.0.8 +4.2.18
Windows 7
I have recently started using VirtualBox to get my Linux environment rather than fully using Ubuntu. For me this works well. But recently i have realized that in the Ubuntu vm the only thing I use a lot is the terminal, mostly just because I need the Linux environment and not the full desktop.
So I tried installing Ubuntu server into a VM, which worked. But as soon as I reboot the machine, it fails after the system boot logo. After BIOS and where I would log on from the command line I simply get a black screen with a non blinking cursor. So I am never fully able to boot into the vbox.
I read up on the command line version, trying to run it headless and then connecting to it from demote desktop. after starting the vbox I am able to connect to the desktop and see the grub screen but after selecting Ubuntu I get that same non-blinking cursor.
So is this really possible? I tried cygwin but it never really felt adequate to me. I like and am very comfortable with the Ubuntu/Debian command line. How could I (if possible) accomplish this? I want to be bale to start up the VBox and get the full command line for that vbox session. Any ideas?
Ubuntu version: 10.10, VirtualBox v. 4.0.4 r70112 and I am on Windows 7 Ultimate.
You didn't mention the versions of Ubuntu and Virtualbox.
I failed twice to install full Ubuntu 10.10 over the latest VirtualBox 4.0.4 over Ubuntu (problems like those you describe), so I switched to Debian 6.0.
All you require to install Ubuntu headless is to install the server version, which you already did. If you get blank screens, tweak the ioapic settings in both VB and Ubuntu. Another tweak is to switch between IDE and SATA drivers for the main disk (the Grub in my non-virtualized Ubuntu hangs if there's USB media attached at boot time).
If you can run full Ubuntu on a VM, you can try downgrading it by removing the xserver-xorg package, or changing the default runlevel.
If all you want is a Linux consule, you can install Debian 6 without any GUI components.
