Re: debugging KVM connections

[Bob Weber <bobrweber@gmail.com>]

I've had a similar problem after an xorg update on a VM running with the QXL video display.   I downgrade the xorg packages and all is well.  If you are not running X then this may not help you.  You might try another video display like VMVGA.

Have you tried ssh into the VM after the viewer closes?

I'm trying to track down a problem I'm having connecting to a remote virtual machine (that may or may not actually work). I have the router directing ssh traffic to the actual machine the virtual machine is running on.

Virt-manager is able to make the connection to the remote machine and shows the virtual machine. I can open the virtual machine but when I run it, the viewer closes. The virt-manager shows the virtual machine is running but I can't connect to it or shut it down. I can force a shutdown, that's all.

When I check the logs on my local machine and on the remote machine, I can't find anything related to the virtual machine or the viewer shutdown.

Any ideas on how I proceed?
