How To Fullscreen Virtualbox

Okay, title says it all and video pretty much explains it. If you want to copy and paste the commands they are below. These commands are for x86. Press return after each line.

cd /media/cdrom0
sudo sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run

its asking me for my sudo password.. but i cant write any password... any clue what i should do? thx ?!

[jawsykilla]

@jimmybobdavis It may look like your not typing anything but you actually are. This is your admin password. Probably your account password. Just type it and press enter. It doesn't display what you are typing for security purposes.

Is there anyway to full screen in windows?

[jawsykilla]

@Xuma This is in windows. But if you mean windows in virtualbox then yes. Go to devices >> Install Guest Additions then simply run the cd on the virtual windows as if it were a physical cd and it should guide you through a setup.

Thanks jawsykilla! Although this video is 2 1/2 years old, the information here still works perfectly! The only change I encountered is instead of cd /media/cdrom0, it is now cd /media/VBOXADDITIONS_X.X.X_XXX­XX (The Xs being whatever version you are running. For instance, the version I'm running is 4.1_4.1.8-75467.)
