Resolution stuck 1024x768 VirtualBox 6 VboxSVGA driver on guest Lubuntu 18.04
Just upgraded to VirtualBox 6 running on a Windows 10 host and swapped to the SVGA driver (which according to the docs is the new default). Guest is Lubuntu 18.04.
I cannot for the life of me make the resolution increase. I've purged and re-installed Guest Additions to no effect. (using VBoxLinuxAdditions.run uninstall, and re-running).
I've also tried the steps listed here: https://www.tecmint.com/install-virtualbox-guest-additions-in-ubuntu/
Rebooted several times between steps, but the resolution still restricted when using Monitor settings. xrandr lists just 3 resolutions, 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768.
Any ideas?

Hello, could you please specify a bit what you have tried so far? Where did you change resolution? What is the host of VirtualBox? Is Lubuntu the host machine or the virtual machine?

In VirtualBox, you have a menu that forces a user-specified screen resolution for the virtual screen. It should help you to specify Lubuntu the correct resolution:
