Hi guys,


I've found out that basic installation of Oracle VirtualBox (v 4.1.18) has
some limitation.



One of it is VM's screen resolution (max. 800x600 - check OpenSAND-sucess
2.jpg). In order to extend screen resolution each VM require an
installation of so called Virtual Box Guest Addition. This extension allows
me to turn on higher resolution on my test infrastructure (max. 1024x768 -
check OpenSAND-sucess 3.jpg). Each VM requires separate installation. Other
way around is to install set of mentioned extensions and create a clone of
that VM.


Virtual Box Guest Addition can be installed through virtual drive which is
automatically installed. User can perform this action through main menu of
selected VM: Main Menu of VM -> Devices -> Install Guest Addition
