I've started a headless virtualbox instance with this command:
VBoxManage startvm "Ensembl67VirtualMachine" --type headless
Waiting for VM "Ensembl67VirtualMachine" to power on...
VM "Ensembl67VirtualMachine" has been successfully started.
It is set up with Remote Desktop Server Port:5555
with Authentication Method: Null
and Extended Features: Allow Multiple Connections
and it's now running, but I don't know how to connect to it from the same laptop where it's running. I would like to be able to have it running on a terminal. I tried this but nothing happens:
rdesktop localhost:5555
ERROR: localhost: unable to connect
rdesktop 192.168.1.1:5555
Any ideas?
