I didn't remember why there is this restriction.
Perhaps a m0n0wall heritage.

Hi Daisuke,

how did you add VNC server feature to Virtualbox-ose ?

I didn't have this option when installing the latest emulators/virtualbox-ose !

Olivier

Hi, Olivier

Yes, you cannot normal way. Headless does not support any remote access by 
OSE.

I had searched by google, then I found the patch of linux version:
http://vbox.innotek.de/pipermail/vbox-dev/2009-April/001312.html
It is my first hit, maybe exist other solution.
I tried to apply it on FreeBSD but some code was rejected,
so I just modified and added IP address and secret support.

It is my first step to use VirtualBox under Headless.
I can't show complete source because I'm rewriting code now.
The attached code is diff of 3days ago against to the source applied above 
patch.

Hi,

I have fished to write basic implementation by using LibVNCServer.
No longer needs Linux patch now.
Before building, install "ports/net/libvncserver".

I recommend you backup virtualbox-ose directory before doing.
Uncheck QT4, X11, NLS by make config before extracting.

# cd /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose
# make config
# make extract
# patch -p < /path/to/VBox-VNC-Makefile.patch
# patch -p < /path/to/VBox-VNC-20100122.patch
# make

Known issues/Limitations:
Does not support key lock such as CapsLock, NumLock.
Mouse cursor is not following as host cursor without the guest additions.
Only 32bpp screen can be handled.
Only US kerboard layout can be handled.

Note:
It is necessary to edit the source by the data generated by using 
genkeymap.pl
if you need it excluding the US keyboard.

Excellent !
Your patch works great on my system (FreeBSD 8.0-amd64).
Now I've got a replacement for qemu :-)

Did you send your patch to the Virtualbox devs ?

Thanks a lot's !

Olivier

Hi,

Thank you.

>Did you send your patch to the Virtualbox devs ?

No, But I will send this patch after fixing bugs.
I found that update rect is wrong.
    x2 = x + w - 1;
    y2 = y + h - 1;
It seems 1px is not updated :-)
Right-Alt/Right-Ctrl never input...
And genkeymap.pl is not smart.
So I wrote C version of it and integrated to keymap.c.

P.S.
This is a good chance to know FreeNAS project :-)

Hi,

I fixed some bugs. I will send this patch to FreeBSD ML.

Before building, install "ports/net/libvncserver".
I recommend you backup virtualbox-ose directory before doing.
Uncheck QT4, X11, NLS by make config before extracting.

Howto apply the patch:
# cd /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose
# make config
# make extract
# patch -p < /path/to/VBox-VNC-Makefile.patch
# patch -p < /path/to/VBox-VNC-20100123.patch
# make

Note: if you already had applied the patch to Makefile, skip 
VBox-VNC-Makefile.patch.

What's new?
using LibVNCServe. (ports/net/libvncserver)
using FreeBSD keymap.
fixed Right-Alt/Right-Ctrl/PrintScrn issue.

Hi,

I updated for 3.1.2_1 and fixed bug of initial pixel format.

Before building, install "ports/net/libvncserver".

Hi, all

First, thank you for using my patch.
This archive contains individual patch files and modified Makefile.
Please select options you want before building. then make with normal way.

What's new?:
Send ScrollLock when press Ctrl+Scroll or Ctrl+Pause.
Fixed 16bpp mode have incorrect settings.
(it may cause the viewer confuse, now is send 32bpp instead of 16bpp)
Show port 0 when VNC Server disabled.
Code cleanup.

# cd /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose
# tar xvf /path/to/vboxvnc-20100211.tar.gz
# make config
# make

It provides VNC server for guest OS console access in VBoxHeadless frontend.
Supported Options:
   -v, -vnc, --vnc on|off                Enable (default) or disable the VNC 
Server
   -a, -vncaddress, --vncaddress <ip>    IP address the VNC server will bind 
to
   -p, -vncport, --vncport <port>        Port number the VNC server will 
bind to
   -k, -vnckeymap, --vnckeymap <keymap>  Keyboard mapfile (default: builtin 
US)
   -S, -vncsecret, --vncsecret <secret>  VNC Authentication secret

three options at one line is an equivalent option, for example:
"-v on", "-vnc on", "--vnc on" are same feature.

-v option specify whether VNC server starts in the machine.
default is on (enable).

-a and -p options specify IP address and port number of VNC server.
default IP is wildcard, port is 5900. If you have multiple IPs(NICs) in your 
system,
you can select the listen address of the server.

-k option specify the keyboard layout convert from VNC keys to Scancodes.
default is US standard 101keys. (I tested only US 101 keyboard)
If you want another keyboard, you can spcify the path of kbdmap(5).
In standard installation of FreeBSD, it's located in 
/usr/share/syscons/keymaps/.
for example, "-k /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/jp.106.kbd" uses JP 106 
keyboard.

-S option specify the password of the VNC server.
However, it have security risk in common server. It assumed used with 
FreeNAS
(limited user environment). Please consider the risk by using command line.

When starting the VM, the proctitle is changed like below (you can see by 
"ps axww"):
VBoxHeadless: VM: TestVM4 Port: 5900 Auth: off (VBoxHeadless)
