vbox on centos 7 vrde not working: Remote Desktop Extension is not available
Posted: 19. Mar 2018, 16:45
Have a bog standard centos 7 system with VirtualBox-5.2-5.2.8_121009_el7-1.x86_64 installed.
Have a ubuntu 16 vm installed with guest addons installed and running.
I've configured the remote rdp server but it won't open the port on the host machine. When I explicitly disable and enable it I get:
I've checked that the guest additions versions match the installed virtualbox rpm. The state of the vbox services:
The firewalls on the host and the guest are disabled
The vbox guest kernel module is loaded:
Is there some package that I have to install in addition to make this work?
I've attached the showvminfo output for this vm and its log file as well.
Thanks in advance
