Usually in VirtualBox I can insert a "Guest Addition CD image" by selecting a menu item. In the same menu I think I remember some view options were available, for instance to allow free resizing.

PROBLEM: I can't find that menu anymore:

Where is it hiding?

I am using VirtualBox 5.0.18_Ubuntu r106667 with Gnome on Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS.

The guest additions CD can only be mounted to an already exisiting virtual machine. This can be done in the machine's storage settings or much easier from the Devices menu of a running VM. To make the (global) menu visible the virtual machine needs to get focus.

  • My VM is running and has the focus (lower right of my screenshot). But still no menu is available. – Nicolas Raoul Apr 13 '17 at 10:48
  • @NicolasRaoul You may have to disable the GNOME AppMenu/globalMenu to be able to have the menus back on in the VM window. If that fails you may have to manually mount the ISO as shown in my answer I linked to. – Takkat Apr 13 '17 at 11:17
