Console resolution in Virtualbox

$
0
0
I installed Deb 12 in Virtualbox 7.0, without graphic interface. I would like to have a screen resolution larger, something like 1600x1200.

Digging on the web I found instructions for Ubuntu to add in /etc/default/grub:

Code:

GRUB_GFXMODE=1600x1200GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
after that run the command

Code:

update-grub
and reboot. This works only for GRUB that is shown in the resolution I choose, but when the boot start it goes back to 640x480 or 800x600, apparently following the changes I make in /etc/default/grub

I found other variants that instruct to write:

Code:

GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1600x1200
or more complex instructions, but nothing works except use the deprecated:

Code:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet vga=795"
that anyway limits the resolution to 1280x1024. The mode 884 for some reason does not work.

Anyone has a suggestion?
