Hi all,

I have tried to use VNC and WS and both has failed! See below...

VirtualBox 6.0.6 is now available in the hipster repository.

Apart from general fixes (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog-6.0), this update brings two new features.

1) VNC extension pack. This extension pack enables VM's video output to be displayed remotely by any VNC client. Though shipped with the virtualbox component, needs to be installed manually by administrator.

CLI:

pfexec VBoxManage extpack install --replace /opt/VirtualBox/ExtensionPacks/VNC-6.0.6.vbox-extpack

Or in GUI: "From the File menu, select Preferences. In the window that displays, go to the Extensions category. This shows you the extensions which are currently installed, and enables you to remove a package or add a new package." (From https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html#intro-installing.)

Then switch VRDE to VNC: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html#otherextpacks and configure remote desktop server in VM's "Display" settings.
Read manual and made changes.
When guest is started, it throws an error, but boots:

:; /usr/bin/VBoxHeadless -startvm CentOS7_64
Oracle VM VirtualBox Headless Interface 6.0.6

17/05/2019 10:29:56 Listening for VNC connections on TCP port 50407
17/05/2019 10:29:56 rfbListenOnTCP6Port: error in bind IPv6 socket: Not enough space
VRDE server is listening on port 50407.

I have set password (according to docs), and tried:
:; rdesktop -T CentOS7_64-RDesktop -a 16 -r clipboard:PRIMARYCLIPBOARD -u root -p xxx ${HOSTNAME}:50407
17/05/2019 10:42:31   other clients:

(BTW, same error getting when xfreerdp is used)

In GUI, for guest settings, Display-->"Remote Display"-->"Authentication Method" I have tried all 3 options (Null, External and Guest) and all fail with same error

Does anyone had success with this?


2) Web Service feature (VirtualBox API server/programming interface) is enabled in the build. Configure and start it like this: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html#vboxwebsrv-solaris.

Note that this feature hasn't been extensively tested, report problems you may encounter, please.
After reading docs and enabling WS (WebService), visiting it from FF, http protocol, I get error:

SOAP-ENV:ClientHTTP GET method not implemented

I have tried with both ${HOSTNAME} and localhost for property *host*
:; svcprop -p config svc:/application/virtualbox/webservice:default
config/keyfile astring ""
config/port integer 18083
config/user astring predrag_zecevic
config/host astring localhost

Anyone has tried it, and made it working?


3) "Update" tab in Preferences was disabled as it checks for Oracle VirtualBox binary releases and is not relevant for OpenIndiana. "Check for Updates" functionality is not affected.

Thanks,
Michal

With best regards.
