[vbox-dev] VBoxHeadless changes b/w 3.0.x and 3.1.2?

[Lev Lvovsky]

Hi Christian,

VBoxManage shows it as enabled - I'll disable it tonight and see if 3.1.x works (not local to the machine right now).

The instance which I have running now (3.0.12) doesn't crash - was this implicitly ignored in 3.0.x versions?

many thanks!
