I have a server(real server) running a VM (vm server) headless. Everything works great I access my "vm server" fine via ssh but the problem is VNC is enabled and has no password. I don't want VNC enabled or only allow VNC for localhost. Does anyone know how to achieve this because its not clear in the documentation.
It took me forever to even find out I could log onto VNC because the VirtualBox docs say it uses RDP (Chapter 7) and not one word about VNC on the page. On top of that I cant find docs for my version (4.3.34_Ubuntur104062) and I have already been miss lead by the official docs once before this.
On top of that VNC mouse sync is off on 2 different clients and is unusable for gui VM's.
Real Server:
Ubuntu 14
VirtualBox 4.3.34

Re: Disabling VNC on headless VM
You are using the Ubuntu fork of VirtualBox, meaning that you need to look for support on the Ubuntu forums, or install the official version.
In the official version, VNC is apparantly handled as an extension pack, which you can simply omit if you don't need it.
