Sort of O.T. Kubuntu screen size inside VBox
 

I just installed Oracle Virtual Box on Ubuntu 10.10. My first virtual
installation was Kubuntu 10.10. It is working, sort of. I cannot
change the screen size of the virtual machine to anything other than
800x600. I have tried the terminal commands:


VBoxManage setextradata "Kubuntu 10.10" "CustomVideoMode1" "1400x900x16"

and

VBoxManage setextradata global GUI/MaxGuestResolution any

and

VBoxManage setextradata global GUI/MaxGuestResolution 1600,900

Resizing the VBox window just distorts the already fuzzy contents.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

If you are using VBox 4, did you install VBox extension pack?

http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.0.4/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.0.4-70112.vbox-extpack

for older build I think it was called Guest addition?
