#30 4.0.6 issues

[tlhackque]

1) The script doesn't extract session names correctly when a USB device is attached.

The problem is that the script assumes that any line containing 'Name: ' is a session name.
Regrettably, the USB Filters section includes such a line.

e.g.:
-snip-
VRDE property: Client/DisableClipboard = <not set>
VRDE property: Client/DisableUpstreamAudio = <not set>
USB: enabled

USB Device Filters:

Index: 0
Active: yes
Name: LEXR PLUG DRIVE [0001]
VendorId: 05dc
-snip-

2) vrdp needs to be VRDE (as noted by others)

3) vrde port number extraction is broken by format changes. Easiest to extract it from the VRDE port: line

Attached script fixes these.

There may be more, but this is a start.

Also, -type on startvm needs to be --type headless

Fixed in updated script/patch.2

Sigh, more debugging.

Autostart always discards saved state because vrde port is extracted from a field that's only valid when the machine is running.

Machines aren't saved during shutdown on (at least) fedora because /var/lock/suubsys/vboxtoolinit isn't created.

Fixes for these are vboxtool,patch.3 and vboxtoolinit.patch.1. These are cumulative patches against 0.4

With these patches, fedora 14 and VirtualBox 4.0.6 seem to do the basics.

N.B. I have not been careful to make the script work with older versions of VB - I don't have them to test and in any case, you can just use an older version of the script. (Except for the init script - which IS backward-compatible.)

Enjoy
