[VBox-users] internal vnc

[jdd <jd...@do...>]

Hello,

I use VirtualBox for my lug server (http://culte.org).

when configuring, I sometime loose the network on the guest. In this 
situation, I have to connect with a graphical interface to be able to 
log into the guest.

right now I use standard VNC (tight VNC), with some problems I will 
list below.

I'm looking for solutions for these problems, also wondering if using 
the native virtualbox vnc could solve them (but do not find any info 
on this native vnc on the virtualbox web site)

* the "normal" way of launching the virtual machine is through 
VBoxManage. On this situation, is there a way to connect to the 
graphical interface with VNC, without rebooting the guest and using 
VirtualBox?

* VNC seems to have problems with UTF8, when connected to the guest, I 
have a strange keyboard, nearly QWERTY (I'm french with azerty 
keyboard), but m is ; and I couldn't find any way to type ":", very 
odd for vi!!

thanks
jdd
