I have Ubuntu 10.04 OS and a virtualbox (not the OSE) with windows XP as a guest.

When I choose Full screen in virtualbox the operating system (my guest, windows XP) is still in small screen.

I installed the guest additions. However, if I go to Devices on the Menu, it still shows "Install guest additions" like they were not installed. I can only choose 800x600 and 600x480 resolutions.

I'm using VB 3.2.8.

These are my settings:

It looks like windows XP is using the VitrualBox Graphics Driver (Device manager > Display adapters : VirtualBox Graphics driver) It just doesn't show in full screen mode..

If I download a packed file, and then want to open, the gnome file system points me to my home directory. I want to go some other path, so I browse there and unpack it.

A moment later, another packed file download, and this time it points me to my home directory again, instead of the last location I unpacked the tar file.

Is it possible in gnome to make it remember the last location where you unpacked a file some moments ago?

Using ubuntu 10.04, fresh install.

They use silverlight -- therefore I installed moonlight but still get a black screen.

Is there a way to watch it on Ubuntu? I now use a virtual (windows xp) machine so I can still watch it, but would like to know it there are possibilities.

When I copy something from another window then my terminal and want to paste it into my terminal (on the command line) the paste option in Edit is grayed out. Ctrl+V does not work in GNOME Terminal 2.29.6.

I try to copy form netbeans into a terminal. If I paste it somewhere else, in gedit for example, it gets pasted. So it is copied.

Using Ctrl+Shift+C/V does not work.

Is this a settings of from some sort?
