Title: [SOLVED] XP as Virtual maschine Boot order and VNC console
Post by: RainerB on May 29, 2012, 02:22:30 pm

I try to install XP as a virtual maschine on the server 2.2 (KVM).
When the image contains SP2 or SP3 XP boots after the first step from HD and try to install the remaining SP from CD/DVD / Image.
Does anybody know how to change the boot order ?
Enableing or Disableing the CD/DVD seams allways to force a restart of the virtual maschine.

When i try to access to XP with the VNC the Enter key is normally not accepted and the VNC window is closed.
Is there a special key to get access to the console ?
At the moment i press some keys until i get access.

Thanks and regards

Rainer

Changing the boot order is possible by manually modifing the domain.xml file in /var/lib/zentyal/maschine/..
<os>
..
    <boot dev='cdrom'/>     // replace cdrom with hd
</os>

Unfortunatelly the file will be modified by Zentyal.

I still have problem with keyboard input.
I was able to install Ubuntu12.04 with keyboard input but after a reboot of Ubuntu12.04 it doesn't accept any keyboard input. Mouse is ok.
Any hint would be appreciated.

Thanks and regards

Access with TighVNC works. So the VNC client 'novnc' together with FF seams to be buggy.
I changed the input device to 'tablet' to fix problems with the mouse pointer.
