Hey guys I have the Virtulbox headless server installed and working. However when I connect with Remote box. I get the error in the attachment. How do I get the Guest Display (RDP) Working so I can install/configure my guests On the server side I am seeing xfreerdp not found (Where is this supposed to be installed?) There is nothing in the instructions on where xfreerdp is supposed to be installed.

Thanks guys,
Michael

You haven't installed xfreerdp which is one of the requirements stated in the docs.

What distribution are you using, from the screenshot it suggests Ubuntu based in some way?

xfreerdp needs to be installed on the same system that RemoteBox is installed on.

Try:
sudo apt-get install libgtk3-perl libsoap-lite-perl freerdp2-x11 tigervnc-viewer

Then relaunch RemoteBox

There's also a newer version of RemoteBox available than 2.7
