QEMU in text mode (console)

Postby dva2tlse on Sat Jul 24, 2010 10:21 am

Hello everyone,
I'm David from Toulouse, France and this is my first question on this forum, it's already two years that I'm playing with linux, and almost twenty more others that I use unix at work.
My question may seem easy or stupid to some of you, but I want to run a linux qemu-virtual machine within a text console. (to be able to see it working across an ssh text link, which does not export DISPLAY)

So, first I create a virtual disk :
$ /usr/bin/qemu-img create qemu-dsk.img 2G

Then I use the iso CD image that I want to run : (one that I know is working correctly)
$ qemu -cdrom /home/david/SUSBlive/debian-live-i386-lxde-mini2.iso -nographic -m 324 qemu-dsk.img

How to do that correctly enough for it to work ?
Thank's
David

I tried several things, including putting " textmode " in the command line of the cfg file of the liveCD, as I saw it done elsewhere, but I still need help for that because it is not yet in the same shell as that in which I issued the qemu command.

Here it goes, I just passed the options "-nographic" and "-curses", and it did almost exactly what I want; it is exactly said in TFM, but for several different reasons il never worked on my computer. The only remaining problems are that there is no echo of what I type, so I must do it blindly, and the keyboard is supposed to be En-Us although mine is Fr-Fr.
If any reader has ideas about how to get rid of these two defects, I would appreciate any tip or point from where to start a search.

Ok , I finally got it, thanks to several of you who read this thread.
Bye; (it was just needed to put correctly the double dash "--" at the end of the "append" line of a ".cfg" file; isolinux.cfg or live.cfg)
