I have a question !
It's a question I have asked before.
This is a question you cannot answer, It is a question you will
not answer. It's off limits, verboten, forbidden , Not only will
you not answer it, you will completely disregard it.
Even though I ask the question it will be as if it never happened.
This Question shows just how controlled, and managed, linux
discussion groups really are, how there are some subjects you
just aren't allowed to discuss. How Free and Open you are in
your discussions is really just a sham. A self deceit.
Well here goes, Here is the question you will not dare to answer !

How do you set up a virtual screen resolution in the
Ubuntu Linux distribution ?

What's the matter ? cat got your tongue ?
Don't everybody answer it at once.
The Silence is deafening !

You might want to include which version of Ubuntu you are running and also post which VM you are launching/using.
http://askubuntu.com/questions/3205/...-in-virtualbox

and include the needed information
what Desktop are you using ?
is this a desktop or laptop?
what 3d card do you have ( if you have one)
and so on .....

all we know from your post is
" "IT" is broken "

" how to fix " it " "


missing are the
who's
what's
when's
where's
and
why's
