Hi everyone,
I followed a tutorial to autostart my vm at boot and it works but without displaying anything (it seems it's headless). But I want it to be with the display.
How can I force the vm to be displayed ?
Thanks
Regards

Re: Autostart with display
The desktop belongs to a user. If no user is available to "own" the desktop, who does the display belong to?
I'm not sure what you're trying to do here, but it sounds like you want to start the computer and "face"/"be" in the VM-land. Say you're running a Linux host and a Win guest, you'd like to be greeted by the VM login, not the host login. Is that what you're trying to do?

Re: Autostart with display
Yes it is. My Linux host is configure to doesn't ask for a login. After the desktop comes, I would like the VM starts and shows me the display in fullscreen mode.
I've tried 2 methods to do that. The first is by a script which start the VM with "vboxmanage startvm" and this script is call by the auto start program in the LXSession manager.
The second method is by using autostart functionnality but it doesn't works any times. When I start my computer 3 times, the VM starts just once.
Furthermore, with the first method, there are sometimes an issue (just the first time, when the boot is ended) :
If I launch the script by my own after validate this error, the VW start normally.
I've tried to Google this error, but I only find sources of VirtualBox (.h files and other). If you have some informations on this error, please let me know.
For the method with autostart, I found rdesktop-vrdp which can get me the display. Then, if you have a solution to enable autostart after many reboots, it gonna be great.
