With the upgrade to 5.1 I get new behavior when I "open" the console from vm manager. Before 5.1 it showed the console login message like on a physical machine. However, with 5.1 I get a window that wants a password and has a checkbox "save the password in your keyring". What password? No matter, what I enter there the window just hangs and when I try to close it I get a "not responding" dialog and finally the whole VM manager gets killed. I can switch to serial console on that machine window fine. I was able to get to the console of the VM when I opened it *during* the boot up. Then it scrolls out the normal bootup information and finally stops at the login message and I can login, just like before 5.1. But if I open the console once it's already booted up I get this dreaded "Password:" prompt. I can also switch and login with "xm console", but using the vm manager way doesn't work. (BTW: how can I switch back from a DomU console to the Dom0 console in a terminal tab? When I "exit" it just logs me out and presents the login message of the DomU. It doesn't go back to the host console.) Kai -- Kai Schätzl, Berlin, Germany Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com
