Description
After updating from VirtualBox 4.0.0 to 4.0.2 guestcontrol commands stopped working.
I've updated the guest additions as well (to VBoxGuestAdditions_4.0.2-update-69551.iso) - no change.
Example:
> VBoxManage guestcontrol mkdir WS2003R2_MSSQL2005 'c:/testdir' --username Administrator --password 'ourpassword' --verbose Creating directory "c:/testdir" ... VBoxManage: error: Process could not be started: VERR_INVALID_PARAMETER.
The command worked again if I looged out from my remote desktop session. The VM is running headless, I'm accessing the Windows 2003 Server via rdesktop (not via VRDP).
This used to work with 4.0.0 - I developed the remote commands while being logged in via rdesktop.
The VBox.log does not look helpful (I'm cut'n pasting since it's very little):
00:00:20.717 Guest Additions information report: Version 4.0.3 r69551 '4.0.3' 00:00:20.717 Guest Additions information report: Interface = 0x00010004 osType = 0x00034100 00:00:20.717 Guest Additions capability report: (0x0) seamless: no, hostWindowMapping: no, graphics: no 00:00:20.717 Guest reported fixed hypervisor window at 0x0000000000400000 (size = 0xc00000, rc = VINF_SUCCESS) 00:00:23.597 Guest Log: VBoxVideo: using HGSMI 00:00:30.587 Guest Log: VBoxDisp[0]: VBVA enabled 00:00:30.587 Display::handleDisplayResize(): uScreenId = 0, pvVRAM=00007f9e94353000 w=866 h=645 bpp=32 cbLine=0xD88, flags=0x1
no remote session yet, just create the directory:
00:00:51.226 Creating guest directory "c:/testdir" as user "Administrator" ... 00:00:51.226 Executing guest process "vbox_mkdir" as user "Administrator" ... 00:00:51.362 Guest process (PID 2112) started 00:00:51.363 Guest process (PID 2112) exited normally
-> worked. Logging in via rdesktop:
00:03:46.081 Starting host clipboard service 00:03:46.081 ClipConstructX11: X11 DISPLAY variable not set -- disabling shared clipboard 00:03:46.091 Guest Additions capability report: (0x5) seamless: yes, hostWindowMapping: no, graphics: yes 00:03:46.094 Guest Additions capability report: (0x5) seamless: yes, hostWindowMapping: no, graphics: yes
-> calling guestcontrol mkdir again:
00:03:48.711 Creating guest directory "c:/testdir" as user "Administrator" ... 00:03:48.711 Executing guest process "vbox_mkdir" as user "Administrator" ... 00:03:48.732 Guest process (PID 0) could not be started because of rc=VERR_INVALID_PARAMETER 00:03:48.732 Executing guest process "vbox_mkdir" as user "Administrator" failed with VERR_INVALID_PARAMETER
-> failed. Logging out:
00:04:35.268 Stopping the host clipboard service
-> mkdir works:
00:07:45.583 Creating guest directory "c:/testdir" as user "Administrator" ... 00:07:45.583 Executing guest process "vbox_mkdir" as user "Administrator" ... 00:07:45.640 Guest process (PID 2424) started 00:07:45.641 Guest process (PID 2424) exited normally
The same issue happens for "guestcontrol execute".
