Subject: What's #%@$& wrong with X and/or VirtualBox? :(



    
    
        
            Beats me... :(
            I know that my X configuration
            works, because if I type:

            (logged in beechjet to run in
            turbocommander)

            
            
            kitepilot@beechjet:~$ ssh -fCX
            ayx09@turbocommander /usr/bin/gnome-terminal

            
            
            I get my terminal running in
            beechjet and I am happy...

            
            
            
            
            Then I type (again logged in
            beechjet to run in turbocommander):

            
            
            kitepilot@beechjet:~$ ssh -fCX
            ayx09@turbocommander VirtualBox 

            
            
            
            And I get the VirtualBox screen
            running in beechjet no problem.

            However the virtual machines do no
            start

            (because NS_ERROR_FAILURE error as
            shown below),

            so I type:
            
            
            
            
            ---> Start terminal copy <---
            kitepilot@beechjet:~$ ssh -fCX
            ayx09@turbocommander /usr/bin/VBoxManage startvm UbuntuBox

            kitepilot@beechjet:~$ X11 connection
            rejected because of wrong authentication.

            Oracle VM VirtualBox Command Line
            Management Interface Version 3.2.8

            (C) 2005-2010 Oracle Corporation
            All rights reserved.
            
            
            Waiting for the VM to power on...
            ERROR: The virtual machine
            'UbuntuBox' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit
            code 0

            Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE
            (0x80004005), component Machine, interface IMachine, callee 

            
            
            
            kitepilot@beechjet:~$
            --->END terminal copy <---
            
            
            
            
            
            
            NOTE THE FIRST ERROR:
            kitepilot@beechjet:~$ X11 connection
            rejected because of wrong authentication.

            
            
            
            
            
            
            Now the question is:
            What is VirtualBox doing
            differently,

            that the X authentication fails,
            EVEN after the VirtualBox GUI
            console is running without issues!

            
            
            Beats me...
            Beats me.
            Beats me!!!
            
            
            
            
            Now, the most interesting thing, is
            that this not always fail, but when it does,

            I don't know why and I CANT %$#&
            FIX IT!!!

            
            
            Grrrrrrrrr...
            I'll hang myself from a pumpkin
            tree!    :(

            ET
