Hi jdd,

just have a look at RemoteBox:

Maybe this tool could help you.

Best,

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
