[Qemu-devel] No Virtual Console

Hi, My apologies up front for the dumb question, but ... I am running qemu (actually, qemu-system-arm), and when I launch it I do not get a new virtual console to open. I have had this in the past (older Linux install), but inside OpenSuSE 11.3, with QEMU 0.12.5 or 0.13.0 I do not get this to happen (automatically, or even with -serial vc or -monitor vc options). It's likely me doing something wrong, but ... how do I get this console? I am able to use -vnc :0 to get vnc access, but I would like a console window to open automatically on launch. Also, by default I get a vnc server on "::1:5900" ... but what does that mean (or rather, how do I access this vnc server?)? I can manually use -vnc :0 and can make it work, but not sure what the default server is really doing. Thanks!

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)

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!

i mean, do you something like below in your /etc/inittab?
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1

it could be tty2, tty3 and so on...it represents the console number.
So it reads "in console 1, in run level 2 up to 5, execute mingetty
and make it servicing tty1"

I think what you mean here is the standart graphical window, right?
the SDL one, right?

Yes - that's it! The SDL window. I can't get it to show up ... any ideas?

 

Thanks!

make sure you have "SDL" package installed. Also, if you compile Qemu
by your own, please install "SDL-devel" package before ./configure and
make.

That's the problem - thanks!!!

 

Now I just need to figure out how to log all the Linux boot info to a file.

 

Take care,
