Is this 4k resolution support, or 1080-?

Question

I'm trying to create a Conda virtual environment on a machine not connected to the internet (but with Anaconda installed). I run "conda create" with the "--offline" parameter.

H:\>conda create -n test1 --offline

But I get the following error:

# >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ERROR REPORT <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Any idea how I can fix this?

Solution 1

1: Video Memory

I got a message saying that my gues needed at least 33MB (or something) of video memory. I set it to 64MB and I could select my full 4K resolution.

2: Scaling factor

Not relevant to Ubuntu most likely, but just adding it here in case someone stumbles on this post from Google
Something else that may be affecting this is the scaling factor in Windows 10.
If this is set to 150% your guest resolution will also be scaled and you won't be able to select the full 4K resolution in the client causing everything to look slightly blurry.
You can set this to back 100%, which will make everything work as expected again.
Or if you want to keep the 150% scaling in Windows but not your guest, you can check out this post. (setting guest resolution through command line)
Haven't tried that myself though.

Solution 2

I'm going to ask the obvious, but have you install the VBoxAdditions?

On the main menu if you click

Devices -> Install Guest Additions CD Image

It may or may not auto prompt the install, but after it should work.

My build is current running at 3840x2009 (not 2160 because of my main OS menu bar and the VM wrapped borders)

Hope this helps!

Hmmm this will not be related to Ubuntu but with vBox. Please refer to the user manual section 9.8.2 for screen resolutions.

[Jonathan Musso]

I can't get that to work properly. In command prompt/terminal it says no such thing exists.

@Rinzwind 9.8.2 relates to avoiding the limitation on guest resolution must be <= host resolution. But that does not apply in this case, guest 1600x1200 is not greater than the host 3840x2160. In my case i want guest resolution = host resolution, both 3840x2160. I agree it's a vbox issue as it affects both ubuntu 14.04 and windows 8.1 guests.

You need to install the guest additions.

See How do I install Guest Additions in a VirtualBox VM? and enable graphics acceleration in the display settings.

You may need to increase video memory as well..
