Hey! How do I setup ssh from the host to the guest using qemu? 1) I am able to use port redirection when I boot the VM without any special parameter(explained in point 2) as follows: /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -hda ubuntu1204 -m 512 -redir tcp:7777::8001 2) But when I try to boot using the following /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 \ -m 1024 \ -name vserialtest \ -cdrom ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso \ -hda ubuntu1204-virtio-serial \ -chardev socket,host=localhost,port=7777,server,nowait,id=port1-char \ -device virtio-serial \ -device virtserialport,id=port1,chardev=port1-char,name=org.fedoraproject.port.0 \ -net user,hostfwd=tcp:7777::8001 I get the following error and the VM does not boot: qemu-system-x86_64: -net user,hostfwd=tcp:7777::8001: invalid host forwarding rule 'tcp:7777::8001' qemu-system-x86_64: -net user,hostfwd=tcp:7777::8001: Device 'user' could not be initialized Please note that I am able to boot the VM without the -net parameter without any issues, however, I want to setup ssh from the host to the guest. ssh from guest to host works fine as expected. -- Thanks and regards, Jobin Raju George Final Year, Information Technology College of Engineering Pune Alternate e-mail: georgejr10.it@xxxxxxxxxx -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
