What I really want is to launch that VM at boot before I login but as User.
Maybe this behaviour is possibile only as root ?
I can run the VM after login with USER using that command “vboxmanage startvm <name> –type gui &”. I use headless but it’s the same and I can view it later with “show”.
Lgin as USER this work as expected and start immediately. And the VM is in the list of VM.
When I login with root this VM don’t appear in vbox VM list. It seems that it belong only to user.
Maybe that’s not a normal behaviour in antix ?
@christophe Can you tell me what the “&” at the end of the command is going to do ?
Your answers are really interesting anyway. Thank for the interest.
