Set extradata for specific Machine not working

Reported by: ls Owned by:
Component: VM control Version: VirtualBox 4.1.4
Keywords: Cc:
Guest type: Linux Host type: Linux

Description

To start a machine in kiosk mode, without using SDL, we're suppose to do :

VBoxManage setextradata [NAME] GUI/Customizations noMenuBar,noStatusBar

but it doesn't work. Only global customization Work :

VBoxManage setextradata global GUI/Customizations noMenuBar,noStatusBar

But this way, we can't set a Machine with menu, and an other without menu. This is on Ubuntu Linux Host, I still didn't make a try on Windows Host.

Context : I first tried global customization to switch off menus, then global customization to switch them on: it worked. Then I tried to swich menus off for specefic machine, and it didn't worked.

The documentation does not say that this setting is per-VM. So you can request this behavior but this would be a feature request, not a bug.

Replying to frank:

So, what for stand the "[NAME]" in "setextradata [NAME]" if it can only be setted to "GLOBAL" ?

The setextradata [NAME] form is the generic one. It depends on the specific setting if a setting is global-only, per VM-only or either global or per VM. The GUI/Customizations setting is clearly described in the user manual section 9.18 and there is no such per-VM setting mentioned.
