kCGErrorFailure on Mac OS X 10.6.x Host with VBoxManage -> fixed in SVN/3.0.8

Reported by: mcptron Assigned to:
Priority: major Component: VM control
Version: VirtualBox 3.0.6 Keywords:
Cc: Guest type: Linux
Host type: Mac OS X

Description

When calling VBoxManage (e.g. startvm) the following error message appears if there is no graphical session for the current user on the host system. this makes it impossible to start a headless vm from a hosts system startup script.

VBoxManage[744] <Error>: kCGErrorFailure: Set a breakpoint @ CGErrorBreakpoint() to catch errors as they are logged.
