I installed Ubuntu Server 19.04 from VirtualBox on Windows Host. I have a terminal screen 800x600. VirtualBox does not provide me an option to change resolution.

How do I change the terminal resolution?

Tried:

1) Downloaded VirtualBox Guest Additions from virtualbox.org, mounted media, and installed.

2) sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-additions-iso

Wonder if the problem is because it's the Server version, and there's no graphic interface or X11.

Guest Additions installed:

$lsmod | grep vboxguest

vboxguest 331776 1

Looks like GRUB might have something to do with it.

Looks like I need a graphical terminal.

Similar to being able to use Fullscreen, you need to install Guest Additions. – earthmeLon Jul 05 '19 at 21:12
You may also need to boost Video Memory in your VM Video Memory Settings. – Elder Geek Jul 06 '19 at 16:38
Looks like this has to do with GRUB. – Jake Jul 09 '19 at 01:21
