Using the Virtual Box 3.2 running Ubuntu 10.4 in Vista SP2 was pretty straight forward, you click the devices-install guest services…then you can actually run the “CD” using the autorun functionality and it takes care of it for you…just reboot and go to full screen and it set my resolution correctly , thanks for the great TIP

With VirtualBox 3.0.12 r54655 and Ubuntu 9.10, no need for the “Sticky” part, just ran the installer, logged out and back in.

Thanks Tom, I’m new to Linux, and except for this post, most of the stuff I’ve found has been in a different language.

This tip was clear, concise, and it actually worked the first time. Awesome…
