Hello and thank you for pointing the problem out! Unfortunately I am cut off the fast Internet connection until Monday, I will try to upload another VM which does not have that problem in a couple of days.
For now, here is the solution that worked for me:
Long story short
You need to install packages build-essential
, module-assistant
and run m-a prepare
, then install VirtualBox guest additions.
Detailed description
.
- In guest Debian: Open terminal and run these commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential module-assistant
sudo m-a prepare
When asked for password, type your user password ('user' by default)
This will prepare your guest OS.
-
In VirtualBox: Click on 'Install Guest Additions' in 'Devices' menu. Follow instructions to download, install and mount a virtual CD.
-
Restart guest Debian (might be unnecessary). Check if the virtual CD is mounted correctly, if in doubt click on 'Devices'->'Insert Guest Additions CD image'
-
Again in guest: Open terminal and run:
sudo sh /media/cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
You might need to replace cdrom
with cdrom0
or cdrom1
.
- Restart guest Debian. Your screen should now behave as you expect it to. It even resizes following the size of the VirtualBox's window!

Thank you very much indeed. I can also confirm that setting up the tools in another Linux distribution (which I did in the interim) was straightforward.

I have uploaded a default Ubuntu VM with desktop environment and all necessary tools installed. It does not have that resolution problem so I assume it will be more convenient, albeit a little bulkier.
