[libvirt-users] VirtualBox headless

[Jean-Baptiste Rouault]

Hi,

Something like this should work, as can be seen in the
documentation here : http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsGraphics

<drivers>
  <graphics type='rdp' autoport='yes' />
</drivers>

Regards,

Jean-Baptiste

> Hello,
> 
> I'm trying to use the VirtualBox/vbox driver together with libvirt 0.8.1

> 
> The goal is to run the virtual machines headless and to connect using RDP.
> 
> When starting a virtual domain using 'virsh start <domainname>' the GUI
> of VirtualBox will pop up and I see no option to prevent this. If X is
> not running, the virsh command will terminate with 'unknown failure'.
