To enable screen shots and the Console tab, please install a VirtualBox 
extension pack that supports VRDE such as the Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension 
Pack found in the Downloads section of http://www.virtualbox.org

Fred - in phpVirtualBox, highlight the VM and click on Machine (at the top 
menu) then on Refresh. Let me know if this doesn't resolve it.

I've had this problem today from an imported VM from OVF. Running:

VBoxManage modifyvm <name> --vrdeport 3389-4000
VBoxManage modifyvm <name> --vrde on
VBoxManage controlvm <name> vrde on

solved it.

Thanks. solution #14 above solved it for me.

(this was a vbox that was created/initialized via 'Vagrant', 
http://vagrantup.com/v1/docs/getting-started/index.html 
 - it may have done things differently

How about installing the extension pack as non-root?  No dice here. I have 
vboxwebsrv running as vbox.

sudo -u vbox -i VBoxManage extpack install 
Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.3.6-91406.vbox-extpack 
0%...
Progress state: NS_ERROR_FAILURE
VBoxManage: error: Failed to install 
"/home/vbox/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.3.6-91406.vbox-extpack"
VBoxManage: error: Extension pack 'Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack' is 
already installed. In case of a reinstallation, please uninstall it first
VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component

Try use this one after installation of VirtualBox:

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

This will start a second attempt to build the module. If a suitable kernel 
module was found in the package or the module was successfully built, the 
installation script will attempt to load that module, and then the console 
should work :-)
