[vbox-dev] Unable to get a session - lockMachine

[Bikram Gupta]

Hi,

I've tried all possible options so far, but no avail. Running the following:

- Ubuntu host 11.10
- Virtualbox 4.1.8
- Vbox SDK 3.2.12

I've made sure no other process (like virtualbox) is running on the system.
My goal is to just get a session and it doesn't work.

machine = vbox.findMachine(name)
print "Found the machine"

session = mgr.getSessionObject(vbox)

try:
        machine.lockMachine(session, vbc.LockType_Shared)
except Exception, why:
        print "Unable to lock machine:",why
        #sys.exit(-1);
        raise

print "Never reached here!"
session.unlockMachine()

How do I debug what went wrong? All I need is a session using vboxapi.

Thanks for any suggestion/help.

Regards,
Bikram
