VirtualBox sleep mode

Post by Regulus »

Hello,
I have installed Scientific Linux 6.4 in VBox 4.2.12 in Windows 7. I've noticed the Oracle VM VirtualBox screen that serves as the interface for the operating system, goes to sleep mode rather quickly. In fact, I was downloading software to Scientific Linux a few minutes ago. Now it's in sleep mode and the screen is black, so I can't see what's happening with the installation. Is there a way I can get out of sleep mode to bring the interface back up? Also, how can I set it to delay sleep mode for several hours? Thanks!

VirtualBox does not have a screen saver mode. Your guest is what is handling that, and yes there should be a way to control that.
