  1. If you see update window, install all updates
     
  2. I like to use Synaptic to manage packages. Run terminal
     
     
     and type in it
     1. sudo apt-get update
     2. sudo apt-get upgrade
     3. sudo apt-get install synaptic
  3. Use Snaptic to install guest additions: virtualbox-guest-dkms, virtualbox-guest-utils and virtualbox-guest-x11
     
     
     
     
     
  4. Use Snaptic to install Geany which is lightweight GUI text editor
     
  5. Logout. When logged in again you should be able to resize your virtual screen to any size you want.
