Hi Jim,
Thanks for your advice. This is a server box running KVM for virtualizaion. All VM (guests) are headless w/o X (graphic) installed except the host which is running Debian 5.0 as workstation. I run ssh to configure VM remotely w/o problem. The only problem is before the VM get ssh-connected. I have to configure it on its terminal. I have no way to copy/paste the steps performed for trouble shooting. > You can also start kvm with > -curses which > will display text using curses/ncurses, > instead of > graphically. KVM is started automatically at boot. Running; sati...@vm0:~$ virsh --connect qemu:///system Welcome to virsh, the virtualization interactive terminal. virsh # start vm14 -curses error: unexpected data '-curses' virsh # start vm14 -ncurses error: unexpected data '-ncurses' have no effect. Any suggestion? TIA B.R.
