VirtualBox window and menu scaling/text incorrect

Sometimes the scaling can be wrong on a VM if you plug in a different monitor. You can fix the issue by opening up the location of the VirtualBox executable, right click on it, go to properties > Compatabiltiy > Enable Program DPI > Set to DPI to the Display of my main display when “I open this program”

Save by hitting OK

“C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox”

Install VirtualBox Guest Additions for Fedora 22

Install kernel headers, dkms, etc

dnf -y kernel-headers kernel-devel dkms gcc gcc-c++

Reboot the VM

reboot

Mount the Guest Additions by going to menu > Devices > Insert Guest Additions CD image… or you can hit “Host + D”.

The Host key is typically the Right Ctrl(On Windows) or CMD(On OS X) key.

 

Installing the Guest Additions

Via the GUI

Mount the Guest Additions from your file browser, and then launch the “VBoxLinuxAdditions.run”.

You will need root privileges, so either launch your file browser as root, or drag and drop the “VBoxLinuxAdditions.run”, into a root terminal and hit Enter.

Via Command Line

mkdir /tmp/vbox
sudo mount /dev/cdrom /tmp/vbox
sudo /tmp/vbox/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

If you run into any errors, try ejecting, and remounting the Guest Additions cd.
