Ubuntu – Unable to have full screen Ubuntu in VirtualBox

14.04fullscreenguest-additionsvirtualbox

I am trying to install ubuntu 14.2.16 on VirtualBox. It has installed correctly, but I was having a problem related to window size. It is not possible for me to switch ubuntu in full screen mode. I got some solution for that i.e. installing Guest Additions. But afterwords I got error: unable to mount C:program files/oracle/VirtualBox/GuestAssitions.iso
For that i got one solution.(Unable to mount the CD/DVD image on the machine Sandbox)
I followed all steps given by but as it says about VBoxLinuxAdditions.run file, it should be executable. But file I am having in my host PC is not executable. I even checked settings in file property, its type is program still not executable, its opening in text editor.

What should I do now? Even if anybody could suggest me different solution for switching it in full screen it would be really helpful.

Installing Virtualbox guest addition from terminal did the trick for me.

sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-x11
