http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=917385 --- Comment #16 from Stefan Dirsch --- I need access via ssh to an installed system. Tried this one # qemu-kvm -cdrom /mounts/dist/install/SLE-12-Desktop-GM/SLE-12-Desktop-DVD-x86_64-GM-DVD1.iso -drive file=/test/qemu.img -boot order=dc -m 1024M -net user,hostname=test,hostfwd=tcp::5555-:22 # ssh -v -p 5555 localhost OpenSSH_6.2p2, OpenSSL 1.0.1k 8 Jan 2015 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 20: Applying options for * debug1: Connecting to localhost [::1] port 5555. debug1: connect to address ::1 port 5555: Connection refused debug1: Connecting to localhost [127.0.0.1] port 5555. debug1: Connection established. debug1: permanently_set_uid: 0/0 debug1: identity file /root/.ssh/id_rsa type -1 debug1: identity file /root/.ssh/id_rsa-cert type -1 debug1: identity file /root/.ssh/id_dsa type -1 debug1: identity file /root/.ssh/id_dsa-cert type -1 debug1: identity file /root/.ssh/id_ecdsa type -1 debug1: identity file /root/.ssh/id_ecdsa-cert type -1 debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_6.2 That's it. ssh ports in firewall are openend. sshd is running. Without ssh access to a qemu VM I cannot debug this issue. It's that simple. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
