Windows XP Pro 64bit but with 32bit chip
IGB memory
Nvidia Geforce 6200 TurboCache graphics
VirtualBox 3.2.6 installed
Kubuntu 10.o4 installed
It took a bit of setting up and getting to run and it finally did, but the problem is I only have a 19" monitor for this computer and you only get a small screen. So investigations show that I need to install guest additions and press ctrl F and I get full screen, well sort of, still get 2" black around the Kubuntu screen.
I found some instructions here http://www.tmsnetwork.org/blog/insta...itions-kubuntu but as always somethings are never quite the same and what I keep coming back to is that I don't have in my settings list CD/DVD ROM so I never get this Mount CD/DVD drive but the computer has a DVD drive? In the instructions when I type in cd media and ls instead of it showing cd rom, floppy etc it shows the VBox guestaddtions, presumably showing that guestaddtions is already installed?
The screen does expand to block out Windows underneath, but how do I get rid of the black around so it is full screen? And how do I get CD ROM to show in my settings list?
I know the diehards are going to say install Kubuntu from scratch and forget Windows but I want to test it out first but I also need to be able to see it!!
