Hi,
this is my first post here - but I was now searching for a long time without any proper results.
My machine is running openSUSE Tumbleweed and Virtualbox 7.2.6 from openSUSE repo now. Up to 7.2.4 everything was fine - I could start my VMs headless and connect using xfreerdp. I was always using the VirtualBox packages provides by openSUSE - and for Tumbleweed there are no other packages AFAIK.
Since 7.2.6 I only see this in the log:
...
00:00:00.528693 Oracle VirtualBox Extension Pack (Version: 7.2.6 r172322; VRDE Module: ; Crypto Module: )
00:00:00.529262 Console: Machine state changed to 'Starting'
00:00:00.529406 GUI: Qt version: 6.11.0
00:00:00.529415 GUI: X11 Window Manager code: 6
00:00:00.529419 GUI: HID LEDs sync is not supported on this platform
00:00:00.529753 VRDE: VirtualBox Remote Desktop Extension is not available.
...I know that VRDE is now part of the core product; an Extension pack is not nessessary for this to work.
But even when I check all processes and ports nobody seems to listen on the configured port.
I read various articles and bug reports - in each article I can see people with working installations but no real answer which helps in my case.
From one bug report I tried this minimal setup which was given there to prove it works:
d5645w:~> VBoxManage createvm --name=testbox --platform-architecture=x86 --ostype=windows --register
Virtual machine 'testbox' is created and registered.
UUID: ce450c2b-ac22-4a1c-8364-93c81f3b3ea6
Settings file: '/local/vmware/testbox/testbox.vbox'
d5645w:~> VBoxManage modifyvm testbox --vrde=on --vrde-port=3381 --vrde-auth-type=null
d5645w:~> VBoxManage startvm testbox --type=headless
Waiting for VM "testbox" to power on...
VM "testbox" has been successfully started.and then:
d5645w:~> xfreerdp /v:192.168.0.32:3381

Any ideas are appreciated.
Is such a setup running anywhere successfully (Tumbleweed, VirtualBox 7.2.6 headless)?
Thx
