Blank screen on terminal when connecting to VM via serial port

[ned]

I followed this howto http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Serial_Terminal

I does work partially. When I connect to terminal with command qm terminal 101 while the VM is booting I get all the boot messages. But when the boot messages stop nothing happens. Blank screen and I can not type anything.

Any idea?

Got it working by enabling getty on a serial line in /etc/inittab

Hi,

Can you explain me how you do that ?
I am struggeling with an ubuntu VM. When I open a novnc console from the web interface I have boot messages and nothing after.
It seems the serial terminal may help/save me.

Depends on the ubuntu version. @ned talks about a pre-systemd version which uses /etc/inittab.

Please have a look at:

Hi, thanks.

I am quiet lost. Should I enabled getty in the VM or in the host (proxmox computer).

You want a serial connection to your VM, won't you? Then you should enable the Getty in your VM (therefore the link of ubuntu for your ubuntu)
