Hi all,
This is my first post here although I admit I did post this same
question on Linuxquestions.org with no success. I hope you can help me
solve this as I am unable to create any VMs anymore.
I have a KVM server and am trying to add a new VM. The problem is I am
unable to connect to the consle to finish the installation. Could
someone help me please?
I have put the details of the steps I took and my ssh config file for
clarity. It seems I have a problem with a vnc 'security type'.
Any help would be apreciated!

I can see the new VM but when I chose to open the console, the password
is asked again and again without a successful connection to the console.
The following is what I found in the log.

I then tried to make an ssh tunnel and use vncviewer to connect:
$ ssh -p 2200 r...@phoenix -N -T -L 5902:localhost:5902
$ vncviewer localhost:2
Connected to RFB server, using protocol version 3.8
Server did not offer supported security type

That's it. I'm out of ideas. If you do know of a way to install a
debian box without the need for vnc I'm all ears! :)
Hmm, not really sure, haven't seen that 'security type' error before.
Maybe try connecting to the remote VNC using virt-viewer?
