virtualbox window resizing

From quite a few days I was annoyed with the small screen size of my Ubuntu installation in virtualbox. Tried a lot of package installations and reboots, but nothing worked. Finally, the following set of commands worked:

sudo apt-get install build-essential module-assistant
sudo m-a prepare
cd to VBOXADDITIONS which is there in /media/
sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
sudo reboot

And the window should be fitting the screen after the reboot.
