SCREEN SNAPSHOT UBUNTU HOW TO
SCREEN SNAPSHOT UBUNTU DRIVER

I was told that I must log out in order to see my nice 1400x1050 choice, which I did, and all was well. So I eventually learned to just click OK. There is a Test button, but I found it to be meaningless and/or misleading. Back at the Screen tab I picked Resolution: 1400x1050 (which keeps it reasonably sized on my host 1600x1200 desktop). I had no intention of using that much res, but my monitor is capable of 1600x1200 and I could in theory. Under the Screen tab I changed the Model of my monitor to Generic->Monitor 1600x1200. Under the Graphics Card tab (second one) it should now show vboxvideo (not vesa).

This will build the kernel modules for the video driver (and whatever other Secret Squirrel stuff it does).ДҐ) In the rebooted Hardy, go to Ubuntu menu System->Administration->Screens and Graphics. Open a terminal and change directory to /media/cdrom DO NOT open that and double click the Linux script. This mounts the CD (virtual image, not a real one) to the Hardy desktop. I called mine nf-original If a Bad Thing happens you can log into a failsafe terminal and (sudo) cp this back to nf and try again.Дў) Booting into Hardy I used the VirtualBox menu Devices->Install Guest Additions. Your resolution should be what you have specified or allow it to be changed.ДЇWIW: This is just a log of my experiences getting Ubuntu (Hardy) running inside Virtualbox running inside a Ubuntu (Gutsy) host.ДЎ) Make a copy of the /etc/X11/nf file. Your resolution must be equal to or less than what the host machine is capable of (see step 2).Д§. Next, either replace the existing resolution, or add another listed resolution in the exact same manner. The ones you will be concerned about will be listed under bit depth 24 or bit depth 16 (as these depths are the ones that give you a large amount of colors.)Д¦. You now need to hunt through the text until you see the display resolutions listed. (space after gedit and X11 must be capital X)ДҐ.

(VirtualBox documentation describes how to do this) That way you can always revert back to a stable machine. Create a snapshot of your virtual machine in case the below steps cause you problems. To see what resolutions your screen is capable of, on your host machine go to вЂњPreferencesвЂќ and then вЂњScreen ResolutionвЂќ.ДЈ. First, make sure your have installed вЂњguest additionsвЂќ (VirtualBox documentation describes how to do this). I have a Dell Lattitude D600 and have experianced the same problem.
