Hello,

We are running VirtualBox on REHL 7.3 and having difficulties launchinga disk image supplied to us by a colleague..

I can successfully start VBox with, but because it is being run 'headless', I cannot see its operations. (X11 is not established on this system.) The VM is supposed to launch a webserver that is accessible outside on our network.

The Logs indicate that VBox starts, but I think the configuration is not correct, in part because the IP address that should be assigned upon startup is not being assigned, and secondly, the guestproperty list is really short:

vboxmanage guestproperty enumerate manjaro-xfce

I can send the log. Can anyone help diagnose this issue?

Please provide a VM log file. With the VM fully shut down, right click it in GUI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (ONLY) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.

Hi,

The VBox.log file is attached. It was small enough that I didn't worry about compressing it.
Since we are running this 'headless' it is difficult to see what the server is actually doing. I need to find an RDP client for linux that is accessible to us. (rdesktop is not)

Thanks,
Joe White

Enable hardware virtualization in the host bios because it is required for all 64-bit guests.

Thanks for your help. Hardware virtualization was indeed the reason the image wouldn't load.
