I get trouble to use virtualbox remote screen on a linux host. I activated server in settings->display->remotedisplay and the port is 33333.
Then on linux I do : $ rdesktop 127.0.0.1:33333 Autoselected keyboard map en-us ERROR: 127.0.0.1: unable to connect
I have read info here http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch07.html I tryed various connections addresses and checked netstat, port scanning. Also tryed to start the vm headless. and still can't connect :(
Here is more info, Thanks for your help in advance
