[Nix-dev] Nixops on headless server

[Rob Vermaas]

Hi Marco,

sorry if I am asking an obvious question, but have you managed to
start a VM in your VirtualBox installation?

Could you please add the output of:
$ VBoxManage  showvminfo --details
nixops-aa84379e-6c0c-11e3-8dd5-bfd6a9bb84eb-webserver

Cheers,
Rob
