I posted this at the Virtualbox forums, but one of the mods there suggested I should try here instead.
I am running VB 5.1.14 on Linux Mint 18.0
The system is set to go into standby after 30 minutes of inactivity. However, I would like to set it so it DOESN'T go into standby if there is an active VB guest running.
How would I do this?
Appreciate any help. I tried searching the net but just keep coming up with people who are trying to fix a configuration problem where something with VB prevents standby. I on the other hand, WANT that behavior; but set up properly, of course.

Re: Prevent Standby with Active Virtualbox Guest
Sorry, not possible. This would only be possible, if the running VM would send a message (via D-Bus) to the host, like some media-players can do this. I can imagine, that Oracle does not want to do this, because it would be a potential security risk. Depending from your unknown host desktop environment there might be an option to easily turn the energy management temporarily to off.
