virtualbox
I'm (trying) to use Virtualbox on the remote computer – headless mode.
When creating a virtual machine, with
VBoxManage createvm --ostype Windows7 --name MYBOX --register
it created it in my $HOME/VirtualBox VMs/ direictory. It is really annoying to have a space in the path. ;(
How to change the default path from "VirtualBox VMs" to something other with commandline?
I just solved this problem by clicking the green arrow "Show" at the top of the VirtualBox GUI while my headless instance was already running.
I could see what the VM window would look like inside the "Preview" Pane on the VirtualBox GUI, and after clicking "Show", the VM window came up as though I had initially powered on the machine from the Virtualbox GUI.
Edit: When you close the VM window, it will give you the additional option to "Continue running in the background", so your headless instance can revert to being headless again.
