Resize in VirtualBox?

When using Ubuntu Sugar image olpc-ubuntu-sugar-14.04.2-desktop-amd64-1432093697.iso in VirtualBox, there are "some issues of window not sizing for full screen viewing and scrolling. Also some of the stop buttons on the upper right corner does not show well." -- Anonymous Coward.

Install the virtualbox-guest-utils package in the virtual machine. See how to Setup a Virtual Machine for Ubuntu Sugar. Is fixed for next build. --Quozl (talk) 21:47, 22 May 2015 (EDT)
The fix is in the new build, see Installing an unstable system. --Quozl (talk) 04:14, 6 June 2015 (EDT)

Sources list does not contain OLPC sources

When using a system installed from olpc-ubuntu-sugar-14.04.2-desktop-amd64-1432093697.iso the software sources list is incorrect. This is fixed for the next build. For the moment, a workaround is to update the sources list. See post by Iain. --Quozl (talk) 03:43, 2 June 2015 (EDT)

The fix is in the new build, see Installing an unstable system. --Quozl (talk) 04:14, 6 June 2015 (EDT)
