A strange problem using QEMU
I am facing a strange problem during the installation of CentOS using QEMU.
Scenario: I have to install it on CentOS Virtual Machine on a virtualization server. IP of server is 192.168.1.6 (Enabled X forwarding) Ip of my laptop from where I will do an SSH is 192.168.1.20 I am using a wifi connection on LAN to access the server. I am not using the GUI based installer it is a text based install. I do an SSH from my ubuntu Laptop to the server where I have to do installation. Code:
ssh username@192.168.1.6 -X Code:
qemu-system-x86-64 -hda /root/hd.img -boot -d /dev/cdrom -m 1024 Now to begin CentOS installation you have to go through a lot of screens which Anaconda installer asks you such as network information package selection etc etc. If I press a key on Ubuntu laptop (I am accessing the server via SSH from Ubuntu Laptop X Forwarding Enabled) after some time I see the effect in QEMU screen. There is some delay and after this delay the effect of pressing the key is as if I have clicked multiple times. For example : Code:
If I have to enter the set the IP address of virtual machine as it types 199999999999999999 and then after some time it releases the cursor to type any thing.This number 9 is not specific it can be any number while typing or any alphabet or alphanumeric character. Example 2 Code:
Moving ahead in installation : Example 3 Code:
During making menu choices in some step like reading a license agreement. Which makes it very difficult to move ahead it has been two hours but I could not proceed at all with this. More over the response of pressing any key (like Enter) and its effect on remote machine is coming very slow. If I am pressing any key stroke from my laptop I have to wait for a long time to get the response and move to another menu. Example 4 Code:
Another example a text based ncurses screen where I have to select timezone intervals.This has made my work very slow. Is there any way to get rid of this? I am doing this on an SSH connection from a Laptop.The target machine is a Dell PowerEdge R710 server using Wifi for this SSH and the machine where I am having QEMU running is having debian lenny as Dom0. has 8 GB or RAM on it.My laptop has 3 GB of RAM.kqemu is installed on the said Dell server. How can I get rid of this? |
