Up till virtualbox 4.1.22, I have been starting headless virtual machines using something like VBoxHeadless -n -m 9001 --startvm 'FreeBSD 7 i386 (v901)' Now, neither the -n nor the -m command line options are supported. However, in the VirtualBox manager command, I set the "server port" on the "remote display" tab to 9001. Now, when starting, VBoxHeadless displays: 04/01/2013 19:49:09 Listening for VNC connections on TCP port 9001 04/01/2013 19:49:09 Listening for VNC connections on TCP6 port 5900 VRDE server is listening on port 9001. So first, the old bug where the TCP6 port was not set has resurfaced. Aside from that, the second problem is that using vncviewer (from net/tightvnc) does not work at all: issuing vncviewer hal:9004 regardless of the setting of "authentication method" in "remote display" results in being asked for a password, and no possible supplied password works, always returning password check failed! This happens even if the "authentication method" is set to "Null". Fix: At least the TCP6 port problem has been solved before in the port. How-To-Repeat: See the description.

VNC is now supported as an extpack using VRDE. Please consult the vbox documentation or have a look at the FreeBSD emulation mailinglist archives where people have also documented the proper VBoxManage commands.
With the following patch, VirtualBox uses the vrde properties VNCAddress4, VNCAddress6, VNCPort4, and VNCPort6, and passes their values to libvncserver. For example: $ VBoxManage modifyvm Ubuntu --vrdeproperty VNCPort4=5902 $ VBoxManage modifyvm Ubuntu --vrdeproperty VNCPort6=5902 -- Stefan Bethke <stb@lassitu.de> Fon +49 151 14070811

State Changed From-To: open->closed The patch has been reverted because it introduces backward incompatible new settings which also break www/phpvirtualbox.
