I use Arch Linux (Kernel: 4.17.2-1-ARCH) with Gnome 3.28.2. Along with Virtual Box I have installed the following packages:
virtualbox-host-modules-arch 5.2.12-10
virtualbox-guest-modules-arch 5.2.12-10
virtualbox-guest-utils 5.2.12-2
virtualbox-guest-iso 5.2.12-1
Using Virtual Box I have a guest with Windows 10 64 bit. I have installed the guest additions on the Windows 10 box.
The guest OS works fine, however, it supports only a small number of resolutions. Specifically the following:
However my native resolutions is 1920x1080.
When using VirtualBox's menu View -> Virtual Screen 1 I can see all available resolutions (including 1920x1080), however, selecting them does nothing.
I have also tried the guide provided by the Arch Linux Wiki. Specifically, I have run the command:
VBoxManage setextradata "Windows10" "CustomVideoMode1" "1920x1080x32"
and
VBoxManage setextradata "Windows10" "Virtual Screen 1" "1920x1080x32"
Unfortunately, nothing happens.
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
VBoxManage modifyvm "Name of VM" --vram 1024
, depending on your RAM amount. (2) In VirtualBox menu File > Preferences > Display, set “Maximum guest screen size” to “None” (link).VBoxManage getextradata global GUI/MaxGuestResolution
?VBoxManage modifyvm "Name of VM" --vram 1024
outputsInvalid RAM size: 1024 MB (must be in range [0, 256] MB)
, even though the host has 16GB of RAM. Also, interestingly, there is no "VirtualBox menu File > Preferences > Display, set “Maximum guest screen size”" option in my version. Maybe this option has been removed in the latest versions of Virtual Box?
