Description
r4569 makes VirtualBox
sessions usable but has a number of limitations.
- password mode is broken? rdesktop/xfreerdp aren't very helpful with the error message here. (ie: "
ERROR: send: Broken pipe
")
(also when loading a session from disk: verify that the password we have is the right one by re-encoding it rather than always assigning a new one?)
- when the session fails to start we end up calling
early_failure
which sets it asUNAVAILABLE
but this gets reset when the session data is parsed again. Either leave it as unavailable or...? - we should fire
call_when_done
when the server log shows the port is ready rather than polling it. ie:VRDE server is listening on port 3389. VRDE server is inactive.
- support cloning via the UI (since we already enable multi-attach)
- allow local user to resume via SDL? Pure client-side session handling will complicate things..
etc..

As per #212: we should distinguish running sessions from stopped ones (by adding a new SessionStatus
).
(the "start" option will either start a VM or connect to it - no way to tell)

It would be better if powered down VMs would appear as standalone menu and become 'sessions' only when started.
Thanks.

+1 to this. The virtualbox support had me super confused for a few minutes, while i had to track back through the fog of a year ago, and figure out just what the heck those things it was showing were. (i don't use vbox much .. last time a bit over a year ago.. but the vbox interface thought my images were all still there) And having them listed as "sessions" when they aren't even running just feels weird.
r4622 fixes password mode: was an undocumented password size limit...
