Hello,
I'm a little confused as to what the extent of the VNC support in the
OSE edition is, as advertised here? http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Editions

This URL gives the impression of native VNC support. Unless this was
added to 3.2 (I'm using 3.1.6), I'm assuming this actually means that
you can access the Virtualbox GUI by using VNC as a service separate
from Virtualbox?
If this is the case, is it correct to say that the headless mode
doesn't really have much purpose in OSE since you can't attach a
console session to your VM guests? If this is also the case, what sort
of techniques do you employ for running an OSE based server remotely?
I'm thinking that really the only way to do it is VNC to a single port
and just leaving those console sessions open and running at all times?
Am I missing something?
Sorry for the newbie questions, but there was some talk about VNC
patches, and I wasn't sure whether or not this contradicts what is
written in the above URL. If need be I can look into the patches, I
just don't know if this still applies. I also wasn't sure if I was
missing something in light of the impressions I got from the above URL.
Thanks in advance for helping square everything away in my head
VNC support is in 3.2.0 and OSE needs to be compiled with I believe:
VBOX_WITH_VNC=1
That helps a lot!
I take it that this is not a default build option, and that whenever a
Virtualbox 3.2 .deb or .rpm is available that I should not count on
this build option being present? Is this feature considered
experimental at this point?
I'm attempting to compile Virtualbox and am having a compile-time
error, but that is best saved for another thread (which I have already
started). Thanks for your help though, this definitely gets me started
:) I'd much rather use the built in VNC server via vboxheadless - this
looks really slick!
