I have an installation of alpine linux running in a virtualbox vm with slim + xfce4 for the desktop engine.
Kernel Version: I have tried with both the latest (3.6.2) Standard and Virtual Kernel from https://alpinelinux.org/downloads/
I have not been able to get the guest to utilize the entire screen resolution, andinstead it is only able to go up to 1024x768. I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what I'm missing/doing wrong. Below are the steps I've taken:
I followed the steps in this video exactly
Standard Alpine Linux install
- Using all repositories: apk update && apk upgrade
- setup-xorg-base
- apk add alpine-desktop
- apk add xfce4
- apk add thunar-volman
- apk add faenza-icon-theme
- apk add slim
- rc-service dbus start
- rc-update add dbus
- rc-service udev start
- rc-service add udev
- rc-update add slim
- reboot
Virtualbox Specific Packages:
- apk add virtualbox-guest-additions-5.1.26-r0
- apk add virtualbox-guest-modules-grsec
Standard Kernel:
"apkapk add virtualbox-guest-modules-grsec virtualbox-additions-grsec virtualbox-guest-additions-5.1.26-r0
Virtual Kernel:
apk add virtualbox-guest-additions-5.1.26-r0 apk add virtualbox-guest-modules-grsec "apk add virtualbox-guest-modules-grsec" give the following warning message:
depmod could not open /lib/modules/4.9.44-0-hardened/modules.order
I did NOTNOT do the following:
- apk add virtualbox-additions-grsec
Becauseapk add virtualbox-additions-grsec Because that breaks my installation, only allows me to boot into the command prompt and spams the following error:
tty port_close_start: tty->count = 1 port count = 2
Virtualbox Settings:
- Version: 5.1.26 r117224 (Qt5.6.2)
- VirtualBox > Preferences > Display > Maximum Guest Screen Size: None
- View > Auto-resize Guest Display checked (It's greyed out, can't select it)
- VM Settings > Display > Screen: Video Memory 128MB, 1 Monitor, 100% scale factor, Enable 3D Acceleration turned on
