UI no longer reports active RDP port when using range

[commorancy0]

When specifying a range in the RDP port field, I recall the previous UI would update to show the issued port for that VM once the VM starts. I also recall there used to be a builtin Java based RDP client that seems to have been removed. I'm unsure if the two are related.

Currently, the only way to find the assigned RDP port when using a range is by digging through the VM's startup log. While this works, it is in no way efficient because you have to search the log for this information. It would be far simpler if the UI would update the Display area to show the assigned port while the VM is running.

The version I am running:

Version 5.1.12 r112440 (Qt5.6.2)

Please fix/add/correct.

Thanks.

I guess that this is about Remote Display Server Port displayed by the VirtualBox Manager, which shows the VM configuration values.

To see the VM runtime information, including the actual port used by the VRDP server:

• GUI: Open Session Information/Runtime Information tab, which is accessible via Machine/Session Information... menu of the VM window or via Host+N keyboard shortcut.

• Command line: VBoxManage showvminfo <VMNAME> command and "VRDE port:" line in the command output.
