Hello,
i am struggling to install Remotebox.
I tried it with the video, but the repository cannot be added...
gives back:
So i downloaded the tarball and extracted the RemotBox 2.7 folder.
Inside the folder i tried:
...it gives back:
OS: Ubuntu 20.04 64bit
Remotebox Version: 2.7
Virtualbox Version: 6.1.12r139181
Please help, i want to migrate form phpvirtualbox (the seems to be no release candidate which is compatible with Virtualbox 6.1) to RemoteBox.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi,
Honestly, if you read the manual it tells you exactly what to do. Not only is it included in the archive, but available right here:
http://remotebox.knobgoblin.org.uk/docs/remotebox.pdf
But firstly, it's not a shell script but a perl script/
./remotebox
is all you need if the dependencies are installed
Hi thx for your fast reply!
I tried:
i tried also to install also GTK2:

is the result of

UPDATE:
i managed to install the gtk2 by sudo apt-get install libgtk2-perl
now i got:
well i am running a headless server, but i guess that refers on the display remotebox whos when connecting via http://<ip>:18083</ip> right?
Cheers

In general RemoteBox runs on the client machine and not the same machine that VirtualBox is on. I have no idea what you're trying to do there.
Damn!
I must say you are completely right, my mindset totally followed the phpvirtualbox-logic...
Thank you for the enlightment Ian, and please close this post.
Hi,
No worries. :-)
Hi thx for your fast reply!
I tried:
i tried also to install also GTK2:

And did you do
apt-get install libgtk2-perl libsoap-lite-perl freerdp-x11 tigervnc-viewer
as per the manual?
Update:
i found an .rpm packag of remotebox amd installed it with "alien -i <package>"
it confirmed being installed. </package>
Then i followed:
[this instruction from chapter 4 on] (http://knobgoblin.org.uk/docs/remotebox.pdf)
The vboxweb-service is starting well:
However connect attempt via
fails.
does not return any output.
What does your config file show?
They changed the behaviour in recent editions of VirtualBox with regards to logfile writing. It might be that you're hitting. On your VirtualBox server try this instead
Change the "virtual" user to be whatever you use...
mkdir -l /var/log/vbox
chown virtual:virtual /var/log/vbox
Change the logfile as appropriate in your /etc/default/virtualbox file.
VBOXWEB_LOGFILE="/var/log/vbox/vboxweb.log"
Restart the web service
/etc/default/virtualbox
shows:
btw i assigned a user virtual but gave no passwd, should i do it?
Stupid questions: do i need the quotes around the values?
/etc/default/virtualbox
changed to:
i stopped, restarted the vbox-web-service:
systemctl status vboxweb-service.service

Looks OK to me. I don't think you need quotes unless you've got things like spaces in the filenames, but mine has quotes.
