Disable notifications with GUI/SuppressMessages "all"

Post by jcrben »

Hi,

I create VMs from Packer in an automated fashion, including desktops, and I'd like to get rid of this mouse pointer integration warning without having to click.

Digging around, I discovered a forum discussion at forums(dot) virtualbox (dot) org/ viewtopic (dot) t=25797 where someone referenced:

Code: Select all

VBoxManage setextradata global GUI/SuppressMessages "all"
This does seem to work, but I would like to suppress only these messages and I can't seem to find the docs what options are possible. I was able to pull up the list of keys with:

Code: Select all

VBoxManage getextradata global enumerate
I'd like to suppress only the mouse pointer integration warnings.

FWIW, I have all four in my VirtualBox.xml, maybe I need to do some spring cleaning:

Code: Select all

remindAboutMouseIntegrationOff,remindAboutAutoCapture,remindAboutMouseIntegrationOn,remindAboutMouseIntegration
