xen, connecting to a domU
Hi all,
I finally got enough of a grasp on xen to create a guest
system. But I think it didn't get created properly because
I can't log in to it.
I tried xen-shell expecting a prompt but only got what looks
like an unfinished sequence of boot args:
-------- begin excerpt ------------
Activating swapfile swap...done.
Setting up networking....
Configuring network interfaces...done.
INIT: Entering runlevel: 2
Starting enhanced syslogd: rsyslogd.
Starting periodic command scheduler: crond.
----------- end excerpt ------------
I also tried to ssh into it, but that gave no more joy:
-------------- begin transcript --------
# ssh 192.168.153.110
ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.110 port 22: Connection refused
--------------- end transcript ---------
I can successfully shutdown (xm shutdown <domid>) and then
restart (xm create -c <configfile>) the guest, but the result
is the same.
I'm wondering if maybe ssh didn't get installed. There is the
following suspicious entry in /var/log/xen-tools/<machinename>.log
------------- begin excerpt ---------

There is an identical message for sudo.
There are slightly different error messages for libc6-xen, locales, and
util-linux-locales:
----------- begin excerpt -------------

Package locales is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package locales has no installation candidate

The mirror I was using was a DVD mount to /mnt. All the above
pkgs should have been available:
------------- begin transcript -----------

There were other bothersome messages in the log as well:

The contrib and non-free related errors I get but the main

Can anybody help me out?
Thanks,
