Ubuntu not scaling with my Macbook Pro resolution (Virtual Box)
Problems running Ubuntu 14.04 inside of a virtual machine within Virtual BoxUbuntu 14.04 - resolution stuck on 640x480 running in virtual box 4.3.10 ver on windows 7virtual box windows 7 screen size problemsCan not install guest services ubuntu 14.04.1 for Vbox 4.3.22 r98236How to use Ubuntu as a guest OS in Virtual Box full screenUbuntu virtual machine on Windows 10 - Problems with guest additionsReduce resolution without changing screen size in ubuntu on VirtualBox?Lightest x64 to install on Virtual BoxVirtualBox 5.2.4 Shared clipboard not working in Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTSUbuntu on Virtual Machine is not booting
alright so, I downloaded Virtual Box and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (ISO file) on my Macbook Pro 2018. I then proceeded to follow the installation of Ubuntu on the virtual machine, with only having 1/9th being used by ubuntu in full screen (I thought installing it would scale it properly). When I go in full screen, only 1/9th of the screen is covered by ubuntu ; the rest is all empty. Resizing it doesn't work either, and scale mode make it looks very clunky. Expansion pack is also installed.
How can I make it scale with my computer screen, so that I can have a real "full screen"?
Edit 1 : Found something telling me " Insert Guest Additions CD image ". I don't know what is though.
Edit 2 : I believe to have found it, but it says NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0X80004005).
Edit 3 : I know have a FATAL : No bootable medium found! system Halted. Scaling still not working. Please help me, it's been more than an hour since I've been battling against this.
Edit 4 : Going into full screen makes my screen go black, and I have to restart the machine to use it again. It seems that making the window bigger is working this time, I insterted guest additions image and it seems to have worked.
Edit 5 : alright, I know get a purple-ish screen, with nothing on it. Ubuntu shows before that for a few seconds, but then it's gone and nothing appears / seems to work.
