no console for vz containers

[tlk_vm]

Hello,

first of all I have to say that I am very impressed from what I saw of the Proxmox VE so far. If this is going to evolve as quickly in the future, we will see a very interesting product soon.
But now to my problem:
I cannot attach a console to running vz containers. From the WebUI i simply get a "cannot connect to <ip> port 5900", on the console an eg "vzctl enter 101" gives me something like "cannot attach to pty; not found". Yes, the container is running, i can even ping the virtual ip, but since in the minimal installs there is no ssh, i have no means of connecting.
I'm happy to send any files, logs, info, traces you need to track this down.
Hardware is a shuttle SG33G5, Intel Q6600, 4GB Ram.

Regards,
Marc

please can you send me the following files (send directly to dietmar@proxmox.com)

/var/log/vzctl.log
/var/log/syslog

And make sure you have a pty device inside the VE. What template do you use?

Ok, it because those centos 'minimal' templates are totally unusable - dont use them.

Instead, try one of those templates (they are all tested by our team):
