VNC console error

[nick]

Hi all,

After upgrade to the new version when I try to open VNC Console I receive an error: con not connect to the host on port 5900.

Someone receive a simillar error?

I add some observations: only few machines based on Ubuntu 6.06 send this errors...

the machine does not start?

I assume you started the installation of the KVM guest and stopped it before it succeeded. now, it tries to boot from the harddisk and there is nothing to boot.

change the boot order to cdrom and the VM should start, and the console will open.

I create them from OpenVZ template...not from CD-rom

I create a new template and the same error...I don't understand because this machine was OK...and now I can't access any service to recover data

And I see from machine status that CPU it's all the time to 33% use...

pls take a look on the log file and post it (creating and syslog).

which template do you use? can you reproduce it with the debian-4.0-standard_4.0-2_i386.tar.gz available via appliance downloader?

You're problem is because the ubuntu-6.06 template (from the openvz template wiki page) has udev installed.

see: http://www.proxmox.com/forum/showthread.php?t=577

summary:

SSH into PVE and type

vzctl exec VID apt-get remove udev

where VID is the virtual environment number. Then reboot the VE and you should be all set.

Also, read this http://wiki.openvz.org/Updating_Debian_template for a way to save your changes back into a new template so you won't have to do this fix every time you create a VE from that template.

I guess I should mention you might want to back up your VE before doing this (there's always a possibility removing udev will remove something else that contains your data). Also, you can always pretty much access all the data in a VE wether its on or not as it is simply files locate in /var/lib/vz/private/VID folder on the host (this is a huge advantage for openvz over fully virtualized machines IMO).

I make a backup from PVE anu I will recreate the server from Ubuntu 8.0; I don't want to risk to make something else to the PVE because I have another machines that are running on. I keep this machine ON and I will clone disk and make this test real soon on another server - identic - and I will see the results.

Thanks for tips. Next week I will reply with feedback
