I just installed ubuntu 14.04 on a virtual box but can't resize the screen so I want to install guest additions. I can't open a terminal window because I can't access the "start" button and when I type use alt + ctrl + T, the terminal does not open. This means I can't resize screen until I install guest additions but I can't install guest additions without resizing the screen.
Any ideas for how to fix this?
You could also download the guest additions .iso file for your version of VirtualBox mount it inside and install it from there.
Go to this link find your version and download VBoxGuestAdditions_x.x.x.iso.
Then in the lower right corner of the VirtualBox window you should see a dvd icon, click on that and navigate to the .iso file.
After that start up ubuntu and when it loads open a file browser and navigate to the disk and search for a .sh file corresponding to your os (linux, windows etc.) make sure it is an executable file (right click then propities and check execute file as program is checked) and run it.
After it is finished just power off, unmount the disk and it should be working on the next start up.
