Vertica Community Edition Experience in Oracle Virtual Box

Hi Manoj,

These are both behaviours of Oracle VirtualBox, not the Vertica instance. Below are a couple links that may help you. The first discusses the full screen mode and the need to install VirtualBox Guest Additions on the guest OS. The second explains why VirtualBox relies on a host key to return the cursor/keyboard control back to your host.

I hope they help,

Thanks @s_crossman for your reply. The links are helpful. But I need to work little hard to resolve the issue.
Kind regards,
Manoj.

After installing Guest Additions (there was an issue first which was solved by installing gcc perl and make) all is good now. Once again thanks @s_crossman .
