Re: [Qemu-discuss] How to show the system login prompt? (via ssh)

[Shiyao Ma]

I now start the VM with the following command,

sudo kvm -m 256 eva.qcow -net nic,model=virtio -net user,net=192.168.101.0/24,hostfwd=tcp::8022-:22 -curses

turns out I can SSH into it on port 8022.

I then modified the grub of VM to be:

      GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="text"

      GRUB_TERMINAL="console"

I also did a :

sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target

Shutdown the VM and then run the command:

sudo kvm -m 256 eva.qcow -net nic,model=virtio -net user,net=192.168.101.0/24,hostfwd=tcp::8022-:22 -curses 

again,

Now I can see the grub menu showing up.

And then, some text showing up, looks like the kernel is doing the booting.

And then, suddenly, at the time the normal "login: password" prompt should show up,  the terminal shows:

"1024 x 768 Graphic mode"

I thought doing a "sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target" should be enough.  Dunno what I am missing.

I am running a fresh installation of debian8.6.

Regards.

May be the guest OS that is going to graphic mode, and because of this
you aren't seeing the GUI in CLI? If so, you can use that VM connecting
to guest's GUI and not host's CLI.

Hi.

I SSH to a server, which has no X environment installed.
On the server, there is qemu/kvm running VMs.

I can launch the VM with the following command:
sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -hda eva.qcow -enable-kvm -curses

but the terminal screen sticks at showing:
"1024 x 768 Graphic mode".

My question is, how can I see the normal login prompt, e.g.,
login:
password:
