Hello, I have a VB image 'qemu-x86_64.vdi' which contains a bootable amd64 (Debian) Linux system running, an upcoming Linux smartphone (Librem5), more information on this here: https://developer.puri.sm/Librem5/Development_Environment/Boards/qemu.html The host is a 12-CURRENT amd64 and I compiled VB as virtualbox-ose-5.2.22_2 from ports (as all my other ~1400 packages). The guest boots fine and (perhaps) starts automatically some X11 application (the "phosh", the phone shell). It only shows a blinking cursor, nothing else. I can switch with Alt-F1 to a login shell and login there. It's difficult to do that because the screen jumps always after 1-2 secs back to the tty7 (perhaps the phosh is up there). Same is true for Alt-F2...F6. That's why I think on tty7 is someting running. Why I do not have any screen picture there. What can I do to login via network? I can't configure anything in the Debian with this jumping back after 1-2 secs. The VB manager does not offer host-only network at all, only bridged or NAT. matthias -- Matthias Apitz, ✉ guru@unixarea.de, http://www.unixarea.de/ +49-176-38902045 Public GnuPG key: http://www.unixarea.de/key.pub Mientras haya voluntad de lucha habrá esperanza de vencer.
