Thread Starter 
Hey,

Last night installed guest additions to change resolution on my Ubuntu virtualbox, and now when i boot into box it brings me to console, instead of GUI! How do i get back into GUI?

the reason for not loading into gui is probably the result of installing or changing settings with your window manager.

If you look at the one screen, you'll see it's missing the vboxvideo driver.
If you do a
Quote:
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-guest-x11
that should fix the problem after rebooting.
