Virtual Box VM not displaying in full screen mode

Post by chrisgauthier2017 » 2017/09/25 13:53:21

Hello,

Ive just installed the centos 7 DVD version onto a virtual box vm.

Im looking to find a way to display the session in full screen mode the way my ubuntu VMs work.

I found this link : https://unix.stackexchange.com/question ... virtualbox

But Im a little leary following those instructions because they aren't necessarily trusted and i'd rather not have to reinstall my VM for nothing.

Can somebody here either verify that these instructions are safe, or point me to another solution?

Thanks
Chris

You can try below commands :

Code: Select all

yum update
yum install gcc  epel-release.noarch  kernel-headers kernel-devel
Reboot and then run the Vboxadditions.

The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
