以下、備忘録
Ubuntu 18.4.2の環境をVirtualBox で動かしたらデスクトップの解像度がうまく設定できず躓いた。以下のURLに記載の方法を探し当て解決した。４つのステップとも必要だった。
<環境>
MacOS Sierra (10.12.6)
Version 6.0.4 r128413 (Qt5.6.3)
Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS

Resolution doesn't change when resizing Virtualbox window
I tried all of the suggested solutions:
- In the guest machine (Kubuntu 18.04), I installed 'virtualbox-guest-additions-iso' (thanks to Moshe Beeri)
- Installed 'virtualbox-guest-dkms' (thanks to Dr. Windows for the hint)
- While the guest machine is turned off, I checked if 'Maximum Guest Screen Size' is set to 'Automatic' (saw this suggestion in another post)
- Then I changed the 'Graphics Controller' to 'VBoxVGA'. (thanks to uceieluez)
Only after the 4th step the resolution of the guest machine has been fixed. Now it automatically resize to fit the virtual machine window.
I am not sure if the fix was because of changing the graphics controller or all of the above. Anyway, thank you all.
