[Frédéric SOSSON]

Hello,

I wrote those lines of python code trying to start a VM.

Unfortunatly, I got this messge:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./startmyvm.py", line 38, in <module>
    startMyMachine()
  File "./startmyvm.py", line 32, in startMyMachine
    session = mgr.getSessionObject(vb)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/vboxapi/__init__.py", line
466, in getSessionObject
    return self.mgr.platform.getSessionObject(vbox)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'getSessionObject'
