vrdp not up [SOLVED]

[supremedalek]

I thought that if I wanted to have vrdp running in the PUEL (or the old commercial license), I could do something like

Code: Select all

VBoxManage modifyvm "server1" --vrdeport 12003 --vrde on --vrdeauthtype external

and would be able to see it is up and running:

Code: Select all

netstat -al | grep 1200
tcp        0      0 *:12003                 *:*                     LISTEN
tcp        0      0 *:12006                 *:*                     LISTEN
tcp        0      0 *:12007                 *:*                     LISTEN
tcp        0      0 *:12008                 *:*                     LISTEN

What would cause vrdp not to run on a given vm? What should I look for in the log file?

What version of VirtualBox are you using now?

Did you install the extension pack? Is it only one guest that does not work properly or any of them?

You were right! I did not realize they moved the usb/vrdp support out of the main install package. I had to install through VirtualBox (as suggested in http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic. ... 13#p171509) but now I have it:

Code: Select all

tcp        0      0 *:12001                 *:*                     LISTEN     

Thanks!

On a side note, is there a way to install the extension pack through the command line?
