similar to: Debug VM boot from ISO issues

I’m confused. You’re asking if I’m able to connect with VNC in response to my comment that I’m unable to connect with VNC? What I see when I open the viewer on the port is a window titled “<username> X desktop”, with a grey background, an “X” cursor, and an error dialog (with an “okay” prompt) saying what I described before. Ctrl-Alt-F1 and similar keys do nothing. From: Jeff Tchang

This is offtopic, but related to what you’ve told me so far. I’m having some trouble getting the VNC connection to work. Technically, the “connection” is working fine, but the Windows TightVNC Viewer comes up with an error dialog saying this: Xsession: unable to start X session --- no "/home/.../.xsession" file, no "/home/.../.Xsession" file, no session managers, no window

Thanks for replying. Good info so far. After I start the VM, I’m going to need to see the boot console, and I’ll need to ssh into it with a hostname or IP. What are some required steps for those needs? This VM is going to need to access a few associated networks. I can see that the “—networks” option is part of the interface for configuring this. What are some things I’ll have to do for

I'm a beginner to libvirt and creating VMs, for that matter. I have a set of specifications for VMs I need to create and log into, but I have to create them on an Ubuntu box that I only have ssh access to. I won't have desktop GUI access, although I do have dynamic port forwarding, so I can access a browser GUI from my desktop. Reading through the libvirt info, I see numerous mentions

I finally figured out my VNC configuration, so I can now run virt-manager to inspect and manipulate my VM. I initially created the VM with "virt-install", but I haven't been able to see the console or do anything with it. When I ran virt-manager, I tried to configure the vcpus (1->4) and change the boot order (cdrom, then disk, as I created the VM with an ISO). When I made

Try some of these combinations: http://www.howtogeek.com/119293/4-ways-to-recover-from-a-crashed-or-frozen-x-server-on-linux/ The good thing is your vm is up and running. You should try SSHing into it if that works. On Fri, Jul 10, 2015 at 1:37 PM, KARR, DAVID <dk068x@att.com> wrote: > I’m confused.

That's kind of weird. I don't think VNC has anything to do with X really. Are you able to connect with VNC? If you are able to establish a connection the first thing you should see is a login prompt on most distributions (unless the distribution is configure to start X windows). Maybe there is some key you can press to get a console window. Like CTRL-ALT-F1 or F2 or F3. On Fri, Jul 10,

Trying to start one of my vms, a centos one at that, but am getting the following message: [root@vmhost ~]# virsh start voip --paused error: Failed to start domain voip error: cannot open file '/var/tmp/FreePBX-5.211.65-3-x86_64-Full-1388073872.iso': No such file or directory [root@vmhost ~]# But, virsh dumpxml voip shows no info onto the .iso <disk type='file'

To see the boot console you need to have a VNC client and connect to it once it is up. For Mac OS I use the "Screen Sharing" application which can connect to VNC natively. For Windows you can use something like tightvnc. For SSH you need to make sure it is listening on the port. --network is used to specify a libvirt network I believe. On my example box it is in

Hi, I''ve been trying to boot from a RHEL4 install iso without much luck (the xen way). The Host is: RHEL 5.1 xen-3.0.3-41.el5 Here is my guest config: # -*- mode: python; -*- #============================================================================ # Python configuration setup for ''xm create''. # This script sets the parameters used when a domain is created using

I've got $SUBJ almost working except for the DOS bit where the CD needs to be read. My pxe config: label Firmware menu label Update IPMI firmware kernel memdisk append keeppxe raw iso initrd=<isofile> The ISO is about 400Mb, and works fine when I boot it from an actual CDROM drive. It also boots fine over PXE, I can see FreeDOS being booted up etc. The problem is - once

Hi all, I''m stuck with a peculiar problem. I have CentOS 5.5 and Xen. I have numerous Windows 2003 guests and never had this problem. An application requires SQL server 2008 which is requiring Windows Server 2008. I downloaded the 2.8 Gig install DVD ISO. I create a new guest and connect the ISO as hdc. The system starts and says "Starting Windows" but hangs and no

Note: I could simply direct boot the appropriate kernel/initrd to get the alpha1 installation going as always done in the past, but I think this should work. The Debian alpha 1 installer page says it should. Details $ sudo xm create -c wheezytest.cfg Using config file "./wheezytest.cfg".

Hello, I can attach disc ISO image to cd-rom from virsh. And I can replace the ISO image from disc1 to disc2 using the 2nd example. (example) attach-disk guest01 /root/disc1.iso hdc --driver file --type cdrom --mode readonly attach-disk guest01 /root/disc2.iso hdc --driver file --type cdrom --mode readonly My question is, how can I disconnect the image from the cdrom drive using virsh. Because,

It''s been a while since I installed a guest and I''m having trouble booting from a cd iso. My config to boot from a CD is from before the new QEMU was introduced. Has the syntax of this changed? Here is what I have in my config to boot from a CD iso file I have on my dom0 root. #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Disk image for

I actually find I do almost all my VM management inside the virsh command. If the VM appears to exist inside virsh but is in a shut off state then you should try to start it. VNC can also be SSH port forwarded (which I have done before). Not sure if this will help but this is the command I use to create VMs: virt-install \ --name example \ --vcpus=4 \ --disk /data/example,size=80 \

Hi All, Hope I''m not too annoying yet.. I have CentOS 5.4 running as Domain 0. I can create CentOS guest domains via network using virt-install. However that''s a bit slow, and I don''t want to repeat the download process again if I create new guest domains. So my questions: - Can I create guest CentOS domains using virt-install and specify a dvd iso image as its

Mount CD ROM iso during kickstart postinstall CentOS 5.2 i386 I''m doing a xen virtual machine installation from a DVD iso image with a kickstart file to set network and run scripts and such in the postinstall section. During the installation the DVD iso is listed as device /tmp/cdrom and mounted on /mnt/source. Once the installation is done and the post install starts the /tmp/cdrom

Is there a mix of SYSLINUX and ISOLINUX that can boot an ISO image from a FAT file system? Sort of like MEMDISK but doesn't need to load the entire great-big ISO into RAM or install an int-13 driver? SYSLINUX would need to be installed on the FAT file system but it would want to chain-load ISOLINUX as installed on the ISO. ISOLINUX would load it's blocks from the ISO file in the FAT
