Debian console size in VirtualBox
20,481
The resolution of virtual consoles can be set by adding the following lines to /etc/default/grub
and then running update-grub
(maybe as root):
GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768x32
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
Just change the 1024x768
to the resolution you want.

I installed Debian 7.2.0 as a guest operating system on VirtualBox 4.2.18 (host OS is Windows 7). I installed Debian without any graphical user interface. When I start up Debian, the console size is awfully small (about 80x40). How could I change that?

Admin about 10 yearsThanks Risto for your reply. With slight modifications, and with the help of askubuntu.com/questions/18444/… I was able to solve my problem.

Admin over 7 yearsIs there a way to do this without GRUB? As in, not taking GRUB into account -- when the system has already been booted?
