Quick setup guides
VM Creation
Press the "Create VM" Button and use the following settings. Don't use the defaults, bad things happen.
Section | Name | Value |
---|---|---|
General | Name | ${name} |
OS | Linux/Other | Linux 3.X/2.6 Kernel (l26) |
CD/DVD | ISO image | Select your iso from the dropdown |
Hard Disk | Bus/Device | VIRTIO |
Hard Disk | Bus/Device | vm-storage-lvm |
Hard Disk | Cache | Write Back |
Network | Network Model | VirtIO (paravirtualized) |
Double click the VM >> Hardware >> Display >> Standard VGA (std)
The default works, but on my many monitors, the VNC client window is large enough that the terminal goes past the bottom of the monitor.
- Press Start
- Press Console
Configure ip addresses
- Log into the router
- go to IP > DHCP Server > Leases
- Find the leases corresponding to the new box and hit "Make Static"
- Set the ip address to be 10.100.0.id where id is the proxmox id of the vm
Resetting the Root Password
Sometimes something goes wrong with ldap auth and logging in as a pam user becomes necessary.
- Reboot the hypervisor, cleanly if possible. ctrl+alt+del works.
- while the machine is booting, watch from grub.
- when grub comes up press 'e'
- find the line that starts
linux ....
and at the end of it append
init=/bin/bash
- press F10 to boot
- When you get dumped to a prompt run
mount -o remount,rw /
- run
passwd
to reset the root password - reboot
