Headless Solaris 10 U4

Post by afxmedex »

I've installed VirtualBox Beta 1 for OpenSolaris Hosts AMD64 and got it working after getting the 64bit libdlpi.so after reading these threads:

Now I'm trying to go headless :)

No dice:

bash-3.00$ VBoxHeadless -startvm WindowsXP
VirtualBox Headless Interface 1.5.51

Listening on port 3389
Error: failed to start machine. Error message: Unable to load R3 module /opt/VirtualBox/VBoxDD.
VBox status code: -102 (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND)

The same VM works with VirtualBox

This also seems to work

bash-3.00$ VBoxManage startvm WindowsXP -type vrdp
VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 1.5.51

Hi there,

I'm in exactly the same boat. VM's works in the GUI but can't seem to fire it up via VRDP ... go figure. I'd love to see a solution to this.

Cheers,

Just checking,

Does anyone have the same issue on OpenSolaris? Or is this Sol10 specific?

Cheers,

Seems like this is only u4 specific. I don't get the same error on OpenSolaris. Hopefully this is fixed in the next VB release.
