How do you maximize virtualbox ubuntu window?

Asked by Tracy Mortenson

I have ubuntu on virtualbox. How do you maximize the window all the way to ends of the screen. I want a full window like its a real ubuntu OS. I have trouble installing it without the Virtualbox. So my last resort was the Virtualbox.

Be careful.
Guest additions works well with Lucid 10.04 guest, but not yet with Maverick 10.10. For this last one, you will have to wait a new version of guest additions.
