Of course you have to know the IP address of the machine, that could be a tricky part when using DHCP. If you can use a static IP address, add 'ip=IP_ADDRESS' to the command line options. And also don't forget to add 'root@' to your ssh command, if you are connecting as the non-root user. So something like: $ ssh root@IP_ADDRESS This way it works for me with Fedora 17 Beta DVD. -- Vratislav Podzimek Anaconda Rider | Red Hat, Inc. | Brno - Czech Republic -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
Re: Installer unable to detect Geforce GTX 460 v2
I used the ip address given by the router. I noticed a warning message from dracut complaining about missing gateway and netmask. In addition, netboot was not configured at all. As a result, I received the same message connection refused. Be in mind both desktop and laptop are on the same network meaning I should use 192.168.x.x for example. Do I need to add something like ip=ipgatewaynetmask? On Tue 15 May 2012 12:49:39 AM PDT, Vratislav Podzimek wrote: 'sshd' boot parameter should be working.

If you're trying to set a static IP address on the machine where you're running anaconda, it's somewhat tricky. You need to use the dracut syntax for ip=: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Dracut/Options#Network However, this raises the question of why you're doing it at all. If you just pass sshd and no ip= parameter at all, anaconda will automatically use DHCP on the first network interface, which should do the job in most cases. Then you just find out the IP address the machine got from DHCP, and ssh to that address. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

So Luya lugged his box over here and we figured this one out (ah, the advantages of physical access)...the problem turns out to be that his nouveau crash is so bad it's actually preventing anaconda getting to the point where it brings up sshd. When we booted basic graphics mode with the 'sshd' parameter, we were able to remote in just fine. So the sshd parameter works as expected, the only bug is the problem with nouveau on his card. We were able to get the kernel logs from the nouveau problem and append them to his bug report - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=821180 . -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

Unfortunately, your suggestion is no use because the screen will stay totally black after initialization of the installer. =( On Mon 14 May 2012 04:31:49 AM PDT, Vratislav Podzimek wrote: I believe it should be possible to swith to tty2 (with Ctrl+Alt+F2) and use scp or some other tool to retrieve logs. -- Luya Tshimbalanga Graphic Web Designer E: l...@fedoraproject.org W: http://www.thefinalzone.net -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
