I also see "Enter Seamless Mode" in the Machine menu, which is also grayed out and I can't select it. In addition, I see Adjust Windows Size, which is not grayed out. When I select it it just resizes the VM "container window" down to its original small size if I manually made it bigger. > AND > 2) Install Guest Additions on the guest (if not already installed). I do see "Install Guest Additions" under the Devices menu, but when I select that nothing happens. My understanding is that this should get an ISO mounted on my guest VM (Ubuntu), but that doesn't seem to happen. I don't see any errors anywhere, including /var/log/messages. Maybe Guest Additions are already installed? How can I check? I know when I start the guest VM I get some dialogs about the mouse and keyboard (and copy-pasting works in guest VM no problem, for example) Any help would be greatly appreciated - working in 640x480 terminal is no fun! :) Otis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.
