I've recently installed the Guest Additions CD on my windows VirtualBox running Ubuntu 14.04. It was working great for a while – screen resized automatically, etc.
However, when I turned off my host computer and restarted it today, the resolution suddenly reverted back to its pre-Guest Additions CD state. However, when I try to re-install the CD, it says it is already loaded.
Does anyone know if there is another way to get the screen back to resize?

Okay, I found a link that solves the issue:

Type the following into terminal, and it should work!
I'm not sure how that's any different from installing the virtual CD, but hell, if it works, I'm not gonna complain.
