Describe the bug

While using GNS3 add template - the GUI doesn't enumerate VirtualBox VMs.

GNS3 version and operating system (please complete the following information):

I installed GNS3 using the ppa and apt.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. I make 2 VMs using ISO files of pfsense and ubuntu
  2. go in terminal and type vboxmanage list vms I see correct output.
  3. in my GNS3 project I do Browse All Devices > New template > Manually create new template > select VirtualBox VMs > click New button ...
  4. I don't see anything in the drop down

There's no support on the forums also and can't find any thing relevant in docs.

i have the same issue and found that when you use the terminal to list vms using gns3-server user it will not list any vm but if you try with your own user it will work so i think its permissions issue . i tried : sudo -u gns3-server /usr/bin/vboxmanage list vms # it didn't work but using my user it works

this worked for me but you need to purge the installation via apt ( apt-get purge gns3-server gns3-gui ) sudo apt install python3 python3-pip pipx python3-pyqt5 python3-pyqt5.qtwebsockets python3-pyqt5.qtsvg qemu-kvm qemu-utils libvirt-clients libvirt-daemon-system virtinst dynamips software-properties-common ca-certificates curl gnupg2 pipx install gns3-server==2.2.44 pipx install gns3-gui==2.2.44 pipx inject gns3-gui gns3-server PyQt5

@s-c-p What do you see if you execute this command vboxmanage list vms?

Do you see anything if you open http://localhost:3080/v2/computes/local/virtualbox/vms?
