is there a possibility for having a host system without gui (e.g. ubuntu server) and have a windows 7 guest fully working? The guest system should not be working in headless mode, I need a full windows 7 as guest.
I ve a feeling, that you need some window-manager for this, is that right?
Edit
When I start cinnamon and open a shell and type vboxmanage startvm win7
everything works fine
When I switch to tty2 and write vboxmanage startvm win7
it says
VboxManage: error: The virtual machine 'win7' has terminated unexpectedly during startup because of signal 6
VboxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component MachineWrap, interface IMachine
When I'm on tty2 and I do export DISPLAY=:0
and start the vm via vboxmanage startvm win7
then
Waiting for VM "win7" to power on...
with a blinking cursor
When I now press alt+ctrl+F7 for switching to tty7 the vm starts like a charm.
Has anyone an idea what I can do to get it working without switching ttyx?
