[Cialug] I'm so bummed

Sat Dec 22 13:06:22 UTC 2018

I'm back on vb 5.2.2 and I have guest extensions working correctly with
with default gnome configuration.  I'm still working getting the display to
resize correctly.  I suspect the problem is that VM isn't loading
vboxvideo.    I'm not having much luck trying to fix this issue.  Anyone
have any ideas?
