Hello :-) I'm building a server with VirtualBox. I'm a long time VirtualBox user, but still have some problems. I try to document my work here:
http://dodin.org/wiki/index.php?n=Doc.OpenSUSE-small-ThirdEdition For now I have a working host and a working guest, the two of them openSUSE 12.3 I can discuss with the guest through ssh. * If I log to the host with "ssh -X -C" and run VirtualBox, I get the GUI, and then the guest with xfce, all this perfectly visible on my home desktop. For configuration purpose it's the best way to work. But... If I log off from ssh, the server is killed. * I can use the vboxes init script -or it's systemd counterpart- to launch the virtual server, but then no way to connect to the xfce gui (ssh works) * I can use the various VBoxManage commands (see my page to see the one I use http://dodin.org/wiki/index.php?n=Doc.VirtualBoxHost) to start the server or stop it * some years ago I tryed VNC or Freenix, but connecting to a virtual machine through virtual interface have several drawbacks (character set, hot keys...), I would prefere to stay with X11 forwarding * I can launch the server with VBoxManage, connect to it with ssh -X -C and use various GUI software (YaST2, for example), but I can't launch xfce it self. I get error messages and only the taskbar opens, not the desktop (kde on the home desktop). By the way the standard way seems to be rdp. But I can't make it work. krdc ask for user (root), passwd, then do not display anything. Of course vrdp is activated. any idea? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!
