Perhaps I'm missing something. I would suggest virt-install with the —import optionif you want a console to pop up. https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/virtualization_deployment_and_administration_guide/sect-guest_virtual_machine_installation_overview-creating_guests_with_virt_install -- Jonathan Billings ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I just want a "quick" way to run an image file, do some compiling or me and be done. how do I get the qemu-kvm to pop up a console window or use the current terminal that is open. with --no-graphic I got a boot screen but nothing after that.

Re: [CentOS] qemu-kvm
You should really use cockpit (if you can't get virt-manager) if you want a GUI. hth --- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology!

[CentOS] qemu-kvm
I am running this command /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -no-acpi -smp 4 -m 2048 -drive file=myimg.img,format=raw -vga std -device rtl8139 and expecting a window to open up for the console. It does not.

Re: [CentOS] Virtualizing on CentOS 8
So after much looking I found /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm. I got everything going except - how do I specify on the command line that I want a window console to pop up ? I want to see all the boot messages and then get a login prompt in a window. I'm sure I'm missing something easy. I tried the "-vga std" but that did not give me a console window.

This could be home directory related. Are the home directories local or remote (NFS?). Are the home directories for the users accessible?
