Rdesktop Autoselected Keyboard Map En-us Error Unable To Connect

At work, I have a desktop computer running Ubuntu 11.04 with VirtualBox installed. I want to run a Red Hat virtual machine (guest) on the work desktop computer (host). On my laptop at home, I ssh'ed into the desktop to start the VM using VBoxHeadless --startvm centos_54_64 Then I tried to access the virtual machine using rdesktop but I keep getting an error! Rdesktop -a 16 -N host_ip:3389 Autoselected keyboard map en-us ERROR: host_ip: unable to connect The virtual machine is graphic-less.

I can't get rdesktop to access the windows 7 box. 'rdesktop ipaddress' 'Autoselected keyboard map en-us Error: ipaddress: unable to connect I am on Ubuntu 9.10 64. Debian User Forums • View topic. I'm presuming that you have not installed an RDP server (xrdp or whatever) in the guest OS of the virtual machine.

There's only a terminal. Here's the relevant information on my virtual machine: NIC 1: MAC: 080027BBCE0F, Attachment: Bridged Interface 'eth0', Cable connected: on, Trace: off (file: none), Type: 82540EM, Reported speed: 0 Mbps, Boot priority: 0, Promisc Policy: deny NIC 2: disabled NIC 3: disabled NIC 4: disabled NIC 5: disabled NIC 6: disabled NIC 7: disabled NIC 8: disabled VRDE: enabled (Address 0.0.0.0, Ports 3389, MultiConn: off, ReuseSingleConn: off, Authentication type: null) Does anyone know what the problem is?

On VirtualBox 'rdesktop 192.168.0.10:3389' works without problem. 192.168.0.10 is the host ip.

If there are more than one VM (on VBox) use 3390/3391 etc. However after having spent several hours I can't make rdesktop to work. I also tried 'ssh -X 192.168.0.30' but I can't start X on the workstation. Satimis Posts: 497 Joined: 2004-09-11 11:50 Location: Hong Kong.
