    My Ubuntu 12.04 VM is up. I cannot figure out the login details though. Is there a place to set the root password, or does the image use default username/passwords or something?

    Thanks again for the trial :)

  • 0xdragon0xdragon Member

    @HardCloud Oh no, it's already down! :(

    Nope, it's up. It just has some trouble when an Ubuntu server decides to install itself at 250MB/sec. Still looking at a way to cap that rate.

    Ubuntu uses session context, you'll have to reset the root password via recovery mode.

    1. Open up the full VNC (pop out)
    2. Use the ctrl+alt+del button to restart it.
    3. Press ESCAPE during boot to get into GRUB
    4. Choose the recovery mode (second option)
    5. Select "root console" (third option)
    6. You can use passwd here to set your password, then reboot.

    Haha, yeah. It was lagging hugely and went down for about 5mins for me during a VNC session.

  • SaikuSaiku Member, Host Rep

    I wonder if it's possible to use our own vnc client instead the web-version :(

    Currently no, the VNC is token-only and only meant to get you to the point of enabling networking / interfacing with the installation (You can 'pop out' the VNC client to make it a full window.)

    Once you've got networking working you can use SPICE / SSH / RDP on your chosen OS.

    Okay, for some reason I cannot connect to the network.

    My /etc/network/interfaces is the following:

    auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
  address 207.234.138.235
  network 207.234.138.0
  netmask 255.255.255.0
  gateway 207.234.138.1

    Everything appears okay, but I've probably made a stupid error.

    Thanks!

    I did try that. Once I choose recovery mode, the kernel boots up and it says "Give root password for maintaince: (or Ctrl D to continue)". If I press Ctrl D, it proceeds with the normal boot.

    That's the cavaet listed in the OP, that networking does not get sent to the VM properlty. The true values are listed below:

         auto lo
     iface lo inet loopback
     
     auto eth0
     iface eth0 inet static
       address 207.234.138.235
       network 207.234.138.0
       netmask 255.255.252.0 # This
       gateway 207.234.136.1 # This

    Please try this alternative method then:

    • Get to GRUB once again,
    • Press E on the first line
    • Press E on the kernel line
    • Delete the ro quiet splash bit and replace with rw init=/bin/bash

    You will now boot straight into bash, you can passwd from here and use the ctrl+alt+del button to reboot the VPS.

    @HardCloud It appears those settings aren't working either. I still get "no such host" in ping.

    Did you check /etc/resolv.conf ? Some people are getting pretty odd addresses in there

    Shutdown (hard) = deleted the VM. I'm not sure if that supposed to happen. :c

    Yeah, the buttons are extremely misleading as you may have noticed. I think you wanted "poweroff", but I'm not entirely sure either.

    I was just testing the button(s) function ;)

  • GoodHostingGoodHosting Member

    @Saiku said:

    Yeah haha, all of the buttons seem to do a completely opposite thing from what you would expect that too. I'm trying to document what each one does now, but the behaviour seems to change depending on what ACL your account has, what group it is in, if it is the owner or not; and which state the machine is currently in.
