Description
VBoxManage modifyvm S10 -uartmode1 server "/tmp/vb1" is not working. Same setting, but configured through GUI is working fine. Calling it acording to VBoxManage usage help. I need this to have hands of installation and configuration of Virtualbox and Vm's through command line and telnet.
output of command:
# VBoxManage modifyvm S10 -uartmode1 '/tmp/vb1'
