Thanks for that, provides a bigger screen but still does not allow dynamic resizing like I am able to do on *all* my other vb's.
Reinstalling now from daily snapshot iso to make sure that I did not change something along the way that dis-allows "dynamic" resizing.
Someone else *surely* has experienced this ?difficulty?
Being able to resize the window is done using VBoxGuestAdditions. Did you install these. I am not sure they are available in the openSUSE repository, so you may have to install them using the VBoxGuestAdditions.iso image. Add this to your VM as a CD/DVD drive, mount that device and run VBoxLinuxAdditions.run. You need to install at least the following packages: kernel-sym, gcc and make, which cause other packages to be installed as well. But I may have forgotten one or two.
Yes, it requires kernel-desktop-devel, gcc and make and I installed them all. I use the oracle vb and successfully installed VBoxLinuxAdditions, matching the already installed virtualbox-* version but get a complain about an unknown or unsupport x11 window software (will write it down next time). text is: Installing ther Window System drivers Warning: unknown version of the X Window System installed. Not installing X Window System drivers. I have reinstalled openSUSE-DVD-Build0050-x86_64.iso but the dynamic resizing is still absent. VB 4.1.18-2.2 is installed on the vb and that is the VBoxGuestAddition.iso I used for VBoxLinuxAdditions.run. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
