>Description:
I am using the following command from the Arch Linux x64 host to execute
another command in the FreeBSD guest and grab the output:
VBoxManage --nologo guestcontrol "myvm" execute --image "/usr/bin/uname"
--username root --password mypass --wait-exit --wait-stdout
However, every time I get the error "VBoxManage: error: Invalid user/password
credentials."
That's the output from the VirtualBox logs:
00:11:50.410165 ERROR [COM]: aRC=VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (0x80bb0005)
aIID={dfa39a36-5d43-4840-a025-67ea956b3111} aComponent={GuestProcess}
aText={Invalid user/password credentials}, preserve=false
The problem has been posted in the VirtualBox forums as you can see from this
link: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=53580. They confirmed
it and insisted it's a FreeBSD problem.
>How-To-Repeat:
1. Boot the FreeBSD guest.
2. Ensure that the virtualbox-ose-additions are installed and the services are
running.
3. from the host machine run
VBoxManage --nologo guestcontrol <vmname> execute --image "/usr/bin/uname"
--username <guest_username> --password <guest_password> --wait-exit
--wait-stdout
where <vmname> is the name of the VirtualBox virtual machine, <guest_username>
is a user on the FreeBSD guest and <guest_password> is the password.
