headless vms terminated when logging out of rdp session

[zoric]

Hi,

I am wondering if the following is normal behaviour?

I start headless vms using virtualbox GUI (logged as a user member of vboxusers group)

When I logout from the KDE session and close the rdp session, the vms get terminated which I find strange as they are headless.
Should I only start the headless vms using a non graphical session?

Attached VBox.log

Host : opensuse Leap 15.5 + KDE plasma
Virtualbox : 7.0.14

Thanks for advice

Try closing the RDP session, but don't log out. It may be easier to use the command line for headless session.

Code: Select all

VBoxManage startvm "Enter VM Name here" --type headless

thank you. I am not starting my headless vms from the gui anymore as they get terminated when I logout from the remote session. I start them as headless using the command line.
