I can confirm this bug on xen-tools version 3.1-1ubuntu1 for edgy
guests.
This is a rather silly bug, though. The problem is in file 30-disable-
gettys (/usr/lib/xen-tools/edgy.d/), in the following lines::
#
# Remove the links for upstart
#
rm ${prefix}/etc/event.d/tty[^1]
The command above would be perfectly correct in a bash shell! But this script
uses /bin/bash, which in turn is a sym-link to dash. In dash, the command above
would remove ONLY ${prefix}/etc/event.d/tty[^1], leaving all the other tty*.*
files intact. Without a login process attached to tty1 there would be no login
prompt after running xm console.
POSSIBLE FIXES:
1. use the command bellow:
find ${prefix}/etc/event.d -name 'tty?' | grep -v tty1 | xargs rm -v
2. use bash instead of /bin/sh in this script.
WORKAROUNDS:
1. Mont the guest image disk so you can edit its files directly. The
guest vm should not be running.
export GUEST=/tmp/guest
mkdir ${GUEST}
sudo mount -o loop /home/xen/domains/you_xen_guest_hostname_here/disk.img
${GUEST}
2. Add the tty1 file bak
cat ${GUEST}/etc/event.d/tty2 | sed -e 's/tty2/tty1/' >
${GUEST}/etc/event.d/tty1
3. Umount your guest image
cd /tmp
sudo umount ${GUEST}
