Hi,

Use vboxwrapper.py not vboxtestcase.py.

Cheers,

Install VirtualBox AFTER GNS3, or just re-install it. This worked for me when I ran into the same issue.

I am unable to get Ubuntu 12.04, GNS3 0.8.2, and VirtualBox 4.1.18 to work. Ubuntu 12.04 & GNS3 0.8.2 will work, but I still cannot connect to VirtualBox 4.4.18
VirtualBox 4.1.18 will work standalone, running Centos5.
I have Windows Server 2008 with GNS3 0.8.2 & VirtualBox 4.1.18 working.
The only funny thing I can find is Vb network will not configure host only adapter, No adapters to choose. Virtual box said this problem was fixed in 4.1.16
Ubuntu 12.04, GNS3 0.8.2, and VirtualBox 4.1.18 has been install many times, checked and double checked.

Any help/pointers is appreciated.

Thanks
Lewis

Hi,

Try this: open a Terminal, start Python and type do the following:

Code:
from vboxapi import VirtualBoxManager
g_vboxManager = VirtualBoxManager(None, None)
print g_vboxManager.vbox.revision


Example:

Code:
$ python
Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Jun 16 2011, 16:59:05)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2335.15.00)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from vboxapi import VirtualBoxManager
>>> g_vboxManager = VirtualBoxManager(None, None)
>>> print g_vboxManager.vbox.revision
78094


This is to make sure VirtualBox has correctly installed their VBox API.

Cheers,

This output if from a new installation of everything, Ubuntu 12.03 LTS 64bit, GNS3-0.8.2, & VirtualBox 4.1.18
I usually get vboxapi message, this time Failed to start xdotool. Which I was not able to find.
