I virtualbox-guest-additions - guest additions iso image for VirtualBox VB guest additions are installed via apt:Ĭode: Select all Expand view Collapse view $ aptitude search ~ivirtualbox Regardless, I have the same issue after adding the recommended nf, so I don't think X is the problem. "Note 2: The Guest Additions no longer need the nf configuration with recent VB versions and distributions." I don't have an nf, but from the same topic: The same happens if I connect to the VM from my local network.įollowing along with this topic: viewtopic.php?t=15679, I already have the build-essential and linux-headers-generic packages installed. I'm having a similar problem with a Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit guest VM on a Windows 7 64-bit host: I can SSH to the guest, run GUI windows through SSH, etc., but I can't open a useful Remote Desktop session, RDP, VNC, etc., to the Ubuntu host: most of these simply fail, and if I open a VNC session from another host, I get a window with the desktop wallpaper from the guest VM and a useless mouse pointer, and that's it, no menus, no icons, etc. Oct 2009, 10:27 Primary OS: MS Windows 7 VBox Version: OSE other Guest OSses: Wxp and Ubuntu Perhaps the VirtualBox that prevents that? macben Posts: 8 Joined: 13. PS : I just tried with TeamViewer on Ubuntu and I connect with a host, same result I also have the same problem if I take the viewer remote desktop ubuntu and I log in 127.0.0.1:1 (or: 0 or: 5900 or: 5901 or nothing). Short in all cases, regardless of the server, the client, I manage to log in, I see the mouse but the screen stays black! VNCServer is configured to take only localhost connections (and thus by ssh), X11 all connections. Or for the two that I connect through the tunnel or from my host machine Windows7 or another machine on the LAN under XP.
I install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS in VirtualBox 3.2.8 in order to host services accessible from the outside.Įeverything works well, SSH, Apache, Squid (via SSH tunnel) etc.įor this I used VNCServer installed by default and then x11vnc server.
