I am trying to kickstart a newly built VM. I am stuck with the following. Want to start with a console so that I can include username and other info for this VM:
@vmhost02 ~]$ sudo virsh start --console testengine Domain testengine started Connected to domain testengine Escape character is ^]
It hangs up in there and doesn't listen to any keys except "^]"
1)
You can try to edit /etc/default/grub in the guest, and make sure you have:
GRUB_TERMINAL=serial
GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --unit=0 --speed=115200 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1"
Then execute:
# update-grub
# reboot
2)
If that does not work, try to replace quiet with console=ttyS0 in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="... console=ttyS0"
Then again:
# update-grub # reboot
3)
You may still need to try:
# systemctl enable [email protected]
# systemctl start [email protected]
# reboot
