Hi I have a desktop setup with karmic desktop 32 bit.
I am having an odd issue. Unless I have the monitor connected to my desktop the serial console does not get the login prompt I setup the serial console using the url below https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialConsoleHowto I am using grub, not grub2 # cat /etc/init/ttyS0.conf # ttyS0 - getty # # This service maintains a getty on ttyS0 from the point the system is # started until it is shut down again. start on stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345] stop on runlevel [!2345] respawn exec /sbin/getty -L 9600 ttyS0 vt102 # sudo start ttyS0 # cat /boot/grub/menu.lst # Enable console output via the serial port. unit 0 is /dev/ttyS0, unit 1 is /dev/ttyS1... serial --unit=0 --speed=9600 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1 terminal --timeout=15 serial console title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.10-5-386 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-5-386 root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet splash console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.10-5-386 savedefault boot I don't have access to the actual desktop right now, so the kernel version is off when I reboot the box while connected to the desktop from my laptop using serial console I get upto the last line right before the login prompt. the login prompt never shows up. however, if i connect the monitor to the desktop as well and reboot from the serial console i get all the way to the login prompt. and all works. any idea how to fix it? -- Asif Iqbal PGP Key: 0xE62693C5 KeyServer: pgp.mit.edu A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
