When I try to start a VM with VBoxManage startvm I get the error $ VBoxManage startvm "test_default_1449216719057_77821" VBoxManage: error: Invalid frontend name: 'GUI/Qt' VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG (0x80070057), component Machine, interface IMachine, callee nsISupports VBoxManage: error: Context: "LaunchVMProcess(a->session, sessionType.raw(), env.raw(), progress.asOutParam())" at line 592 of file VBoxManageMisc.cpp I am able to reproduce this with a clean install in a VM.* I installed per-requisites with pkg and then emulators/virtualbox-ose with ports. The config options I adjusted were to turn off X11, QT4 (requires X11), NLS (requires QT4) and I used vagrant to create the VM I tried to launch. If I turn on the QT4 and X11 options, this error goes away. With just X11, I still get it. I would much rather not need to install X11 on my server. Are there any known fixes for this error? * Using Vagrant to run VirtualBox in a VM running in VirtualBox set up by Vagrant feels slightly recursive
