Virtualbox screen resolution (guest)

Virtualbox screen resolution (guest)

Hi,

How to change resolution running void as a guest in virtualbox? Guest 
additions are running. I can use shared folders, mount USB flashdrives, 
etc... but the screen is 1024x768 and cannot find a way to change it.

Thanks.

Might be caused by this?

vminfo Error: Unable to connact to system D-Bus (1/3): Failed to connect to 
socket /run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory



The message appears during the boot sequence right after mounting the 
shared folders. The clipboard and the Resolution don't work.

Check the `dbus` runit service is running:

$ sv status dbus

otherwise enable and start it:

$ ln -s /etc/sv/dbus /var/service

Cheers

It's not dbus. It's running now and still not working. Cannot change the 
screen resolution and the clipboard is not working either. Nevertheless 
shared folders is working but I don't use them.

automount VBoxServiceAutoMountWorker: Shared folder "shared" was mounted to 
"/media/sf_shared"

Make sure that "virtualbox-ose-guest" is installed and its modules are 
loaded correctly.

Reinstalled and reconfigured but nothing changed. I can change the 
resolution with xrandr, but that's not the point. And I badly need the 
clipboard working...

I think it will be better to reinstall and starting fresh instead of 
fighting the multiple issues I'm having right now.
