Windows Virtualbox not starting at Debian host boot...

Post by pierre91 »

Hello

I built a Windows XP running on a virtualbox which is hosted on a Debian Lenny. All is running well if i open a Debian session, then start the XP Vbox via script.

But when i try to have the Vbox starting automatically at the debian host boot, i am getting a message asking to wait for the Vbox to start and nothing else happens then.

So, i wrote a script with a Debian auto login wich runs the XP Vbox start script, but the boot lets a Debian session opened. This is a very bad security issue while the session is opened at least one minute.

The debian boot should run the XP Vbox automatically and without any addition while the Vbox parameter exists. Have i missed something? :roll:

Thanks for your help!

Pierre

There are no exact Infos.

You say something, that you are doing some things. Nice description, but no facts.

=> Exact Version, Scripts, Error Messages.
