There's another really big reason to want to be able to "reconnect" the VirtualBox GUI to a headless VM: right now, the VirtualBox GUI "head" interface is the only way to graphically (and this easily) attach/detach removable media (CD/DVD/Floppy) images to/from a running VM. Dec 2009, 13:14 Primary OS: openSUSE VBox Version: OSE other Guest OSses: Windows, Linux However it would be very cool to be able to switch between headless/normal mode on the fly. I suppose you can do something similar today by suspending/resuming the guest but I haven't tried this. At this point the headless guest closes its RDP console and pops up a console window attached to the VirtualBox GUI instead. That is, open the GUI and press a button like "grab headless guest" which would pop up a list of guests that are currently running in headless mode and allow the user to pick one. It would be nice to be able to do the opposite as well. You could then close the GUI and the guest would keep running in headless mode. This would close the window for the guest in question and enable the RDP console instead. After it boots up, I would like to be able to press a button or select a menu option in the GUI, labelled something like "convert to headless". I would like to be able to use the GUI to configure and then launch a guest. If I understand the OP correctly, that is something I would love to see implemented as well (if technically possible)
