Notes and bug reports for the VirtualBox service on briccs-1

VirtualBox GUI over SSH

There is a know issue with the latest version of VirtualBox GUI when accessing it via a SHH connection.

This bug makes it almost impossible to use the full VirtualBox GUI via a remote connection. It takes several minutes to display a simple pop-up dialogue box. 

ssh -X root@briccs-1.rcs.le.ac.uk

    briccs-1:~ # VirtualBox

The bug only affects the main VirtualBox GUI, so the simpler per-vm GUI is still usable. 

ssh -X root@briccs-1.rcs.le.ac.uk

    briccs-1:~ # VBoxManage startvm briccs-7
