Hi all,

Mouse can't capture VM console screen

Host - ubuntu 16.04 desktop
Gust - ubuntu 16.04 server

/etc/default/grub

Code: Select all

....
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="psmouse.proto=imps quiet nosplash"
....

Also having tried (check) USB 2.0 (xHCL) Controller

Please help. Thanks

Nothing to fix. VBox Mouse requires X to operate and CLI "console mode" does not by default have X installed.
