pve console

[bread-baker]

the following was due to a mis configuration in /etc/pam.d on my part.

this thread should be deleted.

I have an issue with using the console from pve.
Sometimes i can connect to a kvm or ct and sometimes not.

This has occurred using firefox 7.0.1 and google-chrome Version: 14.0... the desktop is ubuntu lucid .

To get around the issue I try clearing browser cache and restarting the browser.

Another issue is not being able to log into a kvm. As root it would not take my password. I thought possibly that I somehow forgot the password. to fix that I tried booting system rescue cd , chroot and run passwd. after that I booted the kvm normally, and could not log in.
So I remembered that I had run ssh-copy-id from the host to the kvm. so i ssh'ed in , reset the password and still could not log in from the console.
So there may be a bug to track down.

Has anyone else seen either of these issues?

Next I'll try using a beta release of chrome. this one does not let me copy and paste.

here is more info.... and I usually assume that if there is an issue, it is do to something I do wrong...

i restored a 1.9 debian sarge kvm , and can login from console.

the etch kvm i installed from 2.0 , is the one i can not log into at console.


so I'll check further into the etch kvm configuration .

Hi,
your console-keyboard work with all your character from your password? (right keyboard-settings?)
Does this also happens with an realy simple password (like qwert1234)? Of course, only for testing

ok the problem with console login was due to settings in /etc/pam.d

I had added these:

common-account:session     optional      pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/ umask=0077
common-session:optional pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/ umask=0077

commenting them out made it so i could log in from console.

so this is probably no issue with pve
