phpVirtualbox console not working - blank

    unfortunately not :

    Code
    root@backup-nas:~# date

    Wed 24 May 15:52:13 CEST 2017

    root@backup-nas:~# service vboxweb-service status

    ● vboxweb-service.service

       Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)

       Active: inactive (dead)

    root@backup-nas:~# service vboxweb-service start

    Failed to start vboxweb-service.service: Unit vboxweb-service.service failed to load: No such file or directory.

    root@backup-nas:~#

    since Virtualbox is functioning, except for the Console, I guess I'd better leave it alone.


    One quirk that might hold some clue :
    the VM directory is /srv/dev-disk-by-id-md-name-nas-softraid/VM
    The virtual machines are stored in /srv/dev-disk-by-id-md-name-nas-softraid/VM/virtual_machines
    This directory is a symlink to /VM on the OS drive because SSD.


    Could this be causing the issue as per OP ??

    I also meet same issue on OMV 4.X.
    phpvirtualbox small preview can see vm is running, but CONSOLE cannot see anything.
    besides, I can use RealVNC to connect without error, but no images show up. Black on realvnc screen.

    You can also try this,
    worked for me after fresh install of OMV 4
    Keep in mind that it will remove VNC, but RDP and console is working perfectly after installing this.
    Check Vbox version upfront, newest from OMV Extra repo is Vitualbox 5.2.24:


    Upgrade Ext Pack:

    Code
    wget https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.2.24/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.2.24.vbox-extpack

    vboxmanage extpack install --replace /root/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.2.24.vbox-extpack


    Remove VNC, use RDP instead:


    Code
    vboxmanage list extpacks

    vboxmanage extpack uninstall VNC

    vboxmanage extpack cleanup

    Maybe you can skip the update, but I didn`t try ^^
