I've created a VM via the GUI interface on Xubuntu 16.04 64bit, the VM is encrypted and will start without problem from the GUI.
However I want to be able to start this VM on the same PC when the OS graphical interface is off and so in headless mode.
Starting the VM with:
Code: Select all
VBoxHeadless --startvm "whatever"
- does not work, remains pausedVBoxManage controlvm "whatever" resume
I have tried
which sometimes allows me to enter a password and sometimes does not, but either way the machine is still paused and will only be rescued by switching on the OS graphical & saving state & then resuming - all from GUI.VBoxHeadless --startvm "whatever" && VBoxManage controlvm "whatever" addencpassword "identifier" -
So all functions with GUI, but where am in going wrong with command line..?
Any help much appreciated..!
