I have sort of the same problem. I am unable to use the following command in the deskbar: virtualbox --startvm "Windows 7" The following error pops up: There is no virtual machine named "Windows. It is possible to run the command from the terminal or by using ALT+F2.
It appears that deskbar is trying to split the command on spaces (deskbar/handlers/programs.py:240 perhaps), causing it to break. -- Unable to launch commands with white space in it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/478412 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to deskbar-applet in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
