We can switch between virtual terminals in Virtualbox with CTRL+ALT+FX.

Is there a way to display these in different windows, so we can see them side by side?

  • Cn you open multiple VB instances and show a different terminal in each? I have another app I wish I could run in a multi window config, but this is a very edge use case and simply not supported with most software. – music2myear Jan 08 '20 at 03:58
  • Unfortunately once a VM is running, VB replaces the "Start" option for the VM with "Show", which just goes to the running VM. Opening another VB window also only gives this option. Do you mean setting up a second installation of VB? – Burrito Jan 08 '20 at 04:47
  • Ok, then no. You're basically asking how you can have a single VM in two different windows. This is not possible. – music2myear Jan 09 '20 at 03:27

No, you cannot. Each VM can only show in a single VB window.

While you can create multi user systems and use remote desktop methods to access these, each view will be a distinct session, and it won't be happening within the VB interface.
