So I'm running Virtualbox 5.1.14 on Ubuntu 16.04. I have few virtual machines running in it without problems. Today I created a new VM with Ubuntu server in it. My goal is to be able to start it automatically in headless mode at boot of host system. First I wanted to test it in command line to be sure of syntax but I run into trouble for that.
I tried that syntax:
but Virtualbox always reports machine or uuid unknown unless I got the uuid just in previous command:vboxheadless -startvm "7f527b43-569f-4d2c-98d6-8aef4d033122"
I tried also using name between quotes as indicated in documentation but exactly the same. What am I missing here ?vboxmanage showhdinfo /home/vincen/VirtualBox\ VMs/Home-Assistant/Home\ Assistant.vdi
UUID: 7f527b43-569f-4d2c-98d6-8aef4d033122
Parent UUID: base
State: created
Type: normal (base)
Location: /home/vincen/VirtualBox VMs/Home-Assistant/Home Assistant.vdi
Storage format: VDI
Format variant: fixed default
Capacity: 8192 MBytes
Size on disk: 8194 MBytes
Encryption: disabled
Thanks
