Re: [Qemu-devel] No Virtual Console

[Russell Morris]

Hi,

 

Yes, I am in runlevel 5. I have to admit, I did check /etc/inittab, but I'm not sure what I'm looking for ... :-(. A bit lost here as to what you're saying, sorry! Can you clarify a bit?

 

Yes, VNC works - I was trying to say that, just not very clearly. What I'm after though is to have a separate window open when I launch qemu, which is the "target" OS ... make sense?

 

Thanks for you help!

My wild guess is, there is no "(m)getty"s prepared in tty. Thus you
only left with xdm/kdm/gdm...but that's assuming you're inside
runlevel 5 (or in some distros, runlevel 2 or 3), which boots straight
to X.

So, my advice is: kindly check /etc/inittab

PS: regarding the VNC server listening, try to connect to it using VNC
client. (hopefully I understand your statements correctly)
