Brothers/sisters, how do you do?
I hope I may ask you a question about attaining full screen resolution on Virtual Box 7.0 run with Windows 11 as the host and having used GhostBSD-23.06.01.iso as the guest.
After installing GhostBSD, going to VBox's device menu I insert the Guest Addition. If I understand correctly, I should run VBoxLinuxAdditions.run.
I do the following in the terminal:
I login as root:
logan@Immortality /m/cd0>su
Password:
root@Immortality:/media/cd0#
Elevate permissions:
root@Immortality:/media/cd0 # chmod +x VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
Execute VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
root@Immortality:/media/cd0 # sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
Verifying archive integrity... 100% MD5 checksums are OK. All good.
Uncompressing VirtualBox 7.0.10 Guest Additions for Linux 100%
VirtualBox Guest Additions installer
Unable to determine correct library path.
As you can see, I get returned the error "unable to determine correct library path."
Following ChatGPT's advice, I try to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable using the "fish" set command:
root@Immortality:/media/cd0 # set -x LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib
set: Variable name must begin with a letter.
Hence, I got returned the error: "set: Variable name must begin with a letter."
I am not too familiar with Unix; I hope you may be able to assist me.
I have searched the forum for posts similar to my issue but alas did not find relevant results.
Thank you kindly for your patience and expertise,

Full Screen on Virtual Box
Re: Full Screen on Virtual Box
For what it's worth, I did try GhostBSD in the free version of VMware player. I was able to install with
and also installed xf86-video-vmware. After that, I got full screen with no problem. This was VMware rather than VirtualBox, but it's also free.
Code: Select all
pkg install open-vm-tools
