All, This is about using a serial line between a uml and the host without having xterm popping in the way
I'm following the book so here's how I do it. The problem is with a xterm popping up unexpectedly (at least until it is understood why) when the uml is launched with the pts. Here's how it goes: 1) With unwanted xterm [... uml1 command line ...] con8=pts uml1 # cat < /dev/tty8 A xterm window appears on the desktop and uml_mconsole returns: host # uml_mconsole uml1 config con8 OK xterm 2) W/o xterm (wished use) On the other hand, if the uml is *not* started with con8=pts and the following is done after it has booted: host # uml_mconsole uml1 config con8=pts Then doing the following does not pop up a xterm window on the desktop, and the serial port can be used from the host side thereafter. uml1 # cat < /dev/tty8 The mconsole on the host then returns not an xterm, but a pts, as it should: host # uml_mconsole uml1 config con8 OK pts:/dev/pts/7 Why does it work now ? I do not understand where the difference lies. I'd like to be able to launch the uml with a con device ready to use, w/o having the xterm in the way. Thanks for any hints/suggestions/ideas. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
