> I am trying out 14.04 in VB

You're trying out Ubuntu 14.01 Beta in VirtualBox?

You probably need to load the VirtualBox Guest Additions, which
provides a virtual display driver that lets the Host resize the guest
window on-the-fly.

You can get an .iso image of the guest additions with

  sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-additions-iso

It should then be available to attach as a "virtual CD/DVD disk file"
from the Storage Settings for the guest.

The disk image will be visible to the guest as a DVD, and contains
scripts and executables to do the installation of the guest additions.

Once the guest additions are installed you can then select from the
guest's VirtualBox menu "View, Auto-resize Guest Display".

Hope this helps!

- --Bob.
