This page http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch07.html said VBoxHeadless does support remote desktop without X Window system on the host at all. However, just like phpvirtualvox, it's also through the VRDP support, which appears to be deprived into VirtualBox extension package since virtualbox 4.0, that is NOT available to freebsd. So, what is the solution to have remote console of virtualbox guests on freebsd host since virtualbox 4.0? --- On Tue, 7/12/11, Joe Sciulli <jsciulli2003@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Joe Sciulli <jsciulli2003@yahoo.com> Subject: does phpvirtualbox support remote console? or virtualbox supports vnc without X? To: freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org Date: Tuesday, July 12, 2011, 6:57 PM hi, my phpvirtualbox works, except that I can only see screenshot of the guests, while the "Console" tab on the top is greyed. This page http://code.google.com/p/phpvirtualbox/source/browse/wiki/Installation.wiki?r=210 said: "In order to access a VM's console over RDP (via phpVirtualBox's console tab, or other RDP client) you must install the *Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack* from: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads" However, although VirtualBox Extension Pack can be installed, "VBoxManage list extpacks" outputs the following: VRDE Module: VBoxVRDP Usable: false Why unusable: Failed to locate the main module ('VBoxPuelMain') So does that mean, phpvirtualbox on freebsd does NOT have Console feature? Without remote console phpvirtualbox would be useless! Or did I miss anything? Another option to have remote console is just to use the virtualbox's builtin VNC support. But I want to have no X installed on the host. Does that VNC work with no X installed on the host? _______________________________________________ freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-emulation To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-emulation-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
