Re: copy/paste and console screen resolution


Hi all,

VM- Ubuntu 14.04 server
Host - Ubuntu 14.04 desktop
Virtualbox

How to;
1) increase console terminal size
2) copy and paste between server console and host

I'm now solving
1) with following steps:
Code:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
Change GRUB_GFXMODE= (e.g. GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1200x32)
Set GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX to GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
sudo update-grub
reboot system
but it is NOT very convenient. Is there a prompt action without reboot?

I have no solution to 2). Please advise.

Thanks

Regards
satimis

Copy and paste is not possible as much as I know.
