Oracle VirtualBox Integration - Headless Init

Published 4 years ago

I've added a new virtualization session using Oracle VirtualBox add-n and it irecognizes my VirtualBox VM's.

When I click on Open Session it starts the VM but on windowed mode. I'd like it to start it on headless mode.

Is there a field where I could set this mode or at least change the command line?

Excelent implementation on RDM by the way.

Thanks in advance

Hello,
Is it only a command line switch? We could add it if you can point out a link where we can find the information.

Hi David,

There's a command for a headless operation like this:

'''VBoxManage startvm VM-name --type headless'''

https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html#vboxheadless

Well, when it starts, a command prompt is opened saying VM is starting. I guess a standard command for VM init is embedded on RDM's code for this add-on.

Thanks for your feedback.

Regards.

Hello,
I have created an enhancement request. This should not be hard to add.

Hi Charbel,

We have added the option internally. It should be available starting with version 2022.1 in the entry properties
