From usability perspective it\nalso is counter intuitive when looking at the VM window and only seeing a\nblack screen.

Facilitates auto-mounting of\nshared folders.\n\n* Helps using shared folders with VirtualBox and KVM a bit\neasier (as in requiring fewer manual steps from the user).\n\n* `/lib/systemd/system/mnt-shared-vbox.service`\n* `/lib/systemd/system/mnt-shared-kvm.service`\n\nSet screen resolution 1920x1080 by default for VM in VirtualBox and KVM.\nWorkaround for low screen resolution 1024x768 at first boot. When using lower\nscreen resolutions, Xfce will automatically scale down.\n`/etc/skel/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/displays.xml`\n\nInstalls VirtualBox guest additions if package\n`virtualbox-guest-additions-iso` is installed if environment variable\n`dist_build_virtualbox=true` or if running inside VirtualBox.\n(`systemd-detect-virt` returning `oracle`)\n`/usr/bin/vbox-guest-installer`\n\n## How to install `vm-config-dist` using apt-get ##\n\n1\\.
