| + | ===== How can I start a VM without getting a window? ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | First, make sure that the Virtual Box binaries are in your path. This is done by default on Linux, but in Windows, you might have to manually add the installation directory' | ||
| + | |||
| + | Then, you need to know either your Guest OS name or UUID number. You can find both of these by typing | ||
| + | |||
| + | VBoxManage list vms | ||
| + | |||
| + | into a terminal. From there, simply type | ||
| + | |||
| + | VBoxHeadless -s < | ||
| + | |||
| + | or | ||
| + | |||
| + | VBoxHeadless -s < | ||
| + | |||
| + | This launches the VM without attaching its display to a window. Now all you have to do is set this command as a boot-time service that runs in the background, and you'll be set. | ||
