launch virtual machine on remote computer with X forwarding
Is it possible to launch a virtual machine (using Virtual Box) on a remote machine and just forward the screen using X11 tunneling?
I tried this from my remote host:
$ssh user@myhost -X virtualbox
which launched the virtual box manager but it didn't let me start any of the virtual machines and gave me an error like:
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine GE Win7.
The virtual machine 'GE Win7' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1).
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Machine
Interface: IMachine {480cf695-2d8d-4256-9c7c-cce4184fa048}
Any way I can get this going?

- Configure the VM to allow remote display access (this only need to be done once, you might also use the GUI):
VBoxManage modifyvm "GE Win7" --vrde on
- Use the command line to start the VM in headless mode:
ssh server VBoxManage startvm "GE Win7" --type headless
- Launch the remote desktop viewer:
rdesktop server:3389
Beware that no firewall is blocking the rdp (TCP port 3389) traffic.
