Hi all,

Mouse can't capture VM console screen

Host - ubuntu 16.04 desktop
Gust - ubuntu 16.04 server

VBoxGuestAddition_5.1.22 already installed.

/etc/default/grub

Code: Select all

....
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="psmouse.proto=imps quiet nosplash"
....
USB - (check) USB 3.0 (xHCL) Controller

Also having tried (check) USB 2.0 (xHCL) Controller

Please help. Thanks

Regards
satimis

Nothing to fix. VBox Mouse requires X to operate and CLI "console mode" does not by default have X installed.
