Hello all,
First off I should state that I am new to scripting and some of the more advanced command line options in Ubuntu. (not afraid to learn tho). I am currently running Ubuntu Server 12.04 and Virtualbox 4.2. I have successfully got my first VM up and running and have viewed the manuals (and countless threads on the subject) using the built in autostart configurations. My problem is that reboots are not successfully starting my VMs. I reboot the server and when i run the VBoxManage list runningvms command it is not showing as running. Below are my configuration files. Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
Notes
-Initial install was for the user "jerry". Installed Virtualbox as "vbox" and added vbox to the sudo group
-I used the VBoxManage setproperties to change the working directory to another mounted hard drive. I set the sticky bits for the path all the way through the VMs folder with 775 properties of vbox:vbox
-The "PHPVbox" virtual machine was created by the vbox user.
-I created and registered the vm through the command line, then used PHPVirtualbox to set the rest of the settings, start and install the Ubuntu Server OS in the VM.
/etc/default/virtualbox (permissions: -rwxr-xr-t 1 vbox vbox 91 Mar 27 04:42 virtualbox)
Contents of: /etc/vbox/ (permissions the same for the vbox folder including the sticky bit)
-rwxrwxr-t 1 vbox vbox 69 Mar 27 05:01 autostart.cfg
-rwxrwxr-t 1 vbox vbox 1 Mar 27 04:48 vbox.start
autostart.cfg contents:
vbox.start has just "1" listed in the file which was enabled with the "VBoxManage modifyvm "PHPVbox" -autostart-enabled on" command.
I am only getting the following messages with the dmesg upon the reboot:
When I run the command: "sudo service vboxautostart-service start" the virtual machine starts
Any help here will be appriciated. Let me know if you need anything further. Not entirely sure if there is another log file I should be checking as well.
