runlevel 5 has been reached by the vm |
Operating System: Suse Linux Enterprise Server 10.
You start your new Xen virtual machine (VM) and it opens to the console and says
runlevel 3 has been reached
or
runlevel 5 has been reached
but nothing you do will let you open the gui!
Terminal options
Take a look at the line during the install which states term=xterm textmode=1 vnc=0
This tells the virtual machine to run open a terminal in text mode and not to accept vnc connections.
Try changing the above line to term=xterm textmode=0 vnc=1
This tells the virtual machine not to open a terminal but to accept vnc connections. Now start the VM from \Start\Yast\System\Virtual Machine Management (Xen) or via the command line by typing
xterm -e xm create -c /etc/xen/vm/vm1 &
where vm1 is the configuration file for your virtual machine. This opens the VM in its own console. Alternatively you could simply type
xm create -c /etc/xen/vm/vm1
to open the VM in the current console.
Your VM should tell you what ip address it picked up by DHCP. If not then logon as type ifconfig at the command line to find out the ip address. Ping it to make sure you get a reply. Now VNC to that ip address and port number.
eg Type vncviewer 192.168.0.9:1 at the command line.
