#7769 worksforme guest control give bogus error message over username ToddAndMargo
Description

Host: CentOS 5.5, VB 3.2.10 Guest: Windows Server 2003 R2, SP2

Hi Guys,

Would you guys please improve your guestcontrol error messages?

This from a larger script to control VM before backup:

su $DefaultUser -c "/usr/bin/VBoxManage  --nologo guestcontrol \
                    execute "$VM_Name" "C:\Windows\system32\shutdown.exe" \
                    --arguments "/t 5 /s /d p:2:3" --username "$WinAdminUser" \
                    --password "$WinAdminPassword" --wait-for stdout"

echo "su $DefaultUser -c "/usr/bin/VBoxManage  --nologo guestcontrol  \
                            execute "$VM_Name" "C:\Windows\system32\shutdown.exe" \
                            --arguments "/t 5 /s /d p:2:3" --username "$WinAdminUser" \
                            --password $WinAdminPassword --wait-for stdout""

And here is the result:

Oracle VM VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 3.2.10

Usage:

VBoxManage guestcontrol     execute <vmname>|<uuid>
                            <path to program>
                            --username <name> --password <password>
                            [--arguments "<arguments>"]
                            [--environment "<NAME>=<VALUE> [<NAME>=<VALUE>]"]
                            [--flags <flags>] [--timeout <msec>]
                            [--verbose] [--wait-for exit,stdout,stderr||]


Syntax error: No user name specified!
su todd -c /usr/bin/VBoxManage --nologo guestcontrol execute VB-ABC \
   C:\Windows\system32\shutdown.exe --arguments /t 5 /s /d p:2:3 \
   --username admin --password nottellin --wait-for stdout

You will note that "Syntax error: No user name specified!" does not match up to "--username winadmin"

If I ever figure out what is really wrong, I will report back. In the mean time, I would appreciate it if you made your error messages match up with the real error.

Many thanks, -T

#15418 fixed guest addtions: Ubuntu 16.04 Server, error message about libXrandr on Guest Additions start-up -> fixed in releases higher than 5.0.20 FranzS
Description

I get an error message "BoxClient: error while loading shared librarie" in my syslog:

May 14 16:22:41 fortuna vboxadd[837]: Starting the VirtualBox Guest AdditionsInstalling the Window System drivers
May 14 16:22:41 fortuna vboxadd[837]: Could not find the X.Org or XFree86 Window System, skipping.
May 14 16:22:41 fortuna vboxadd[837]: /usr/bin/VBoxClient: error while loading shared libraries: libXrandr.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
May 14 16:22:41 fortuna vboxadd[837]:  ...done.
May 14 16:22:41 fortuna systemd[1]: Started vboxadd.service.

As I took a closer look i found out that this libXrandr is usually only available in systems that have an X Server. But this is not the case in my Machine which is even detected one row above where it say's "Could not find the X.Org or XFree86 Window System, skipping." Therefore i think this is a little bit strange that on the one hand the System detects that there is no X Server and directly afterwards want to use a library that is used for X Servers.

Even during the installation it seems to be properly detected that there is no X Server.

I did the installation like this:

sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom/
sudo apt-get install -y dkms build-essential linux-headers-generic linux-headers-$(uname -r)
sudo /media/cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run --nox11

This was the output, clearly saying that "Could not find the X.Org or XFree86 Window System, skipping."

But still got the Message in the syslog
