ssh

Hi,

I ssh to a machine and I would like to start a qemu session inside this ssh session.

I thought that the nographic option would do the trick.

-nographic Normally, QEMU uses SDL to display the VGA output. With this option, you can totally disable graphical output so that QEMU is a simple command line application. The emulated serial port is redirected on the console. Therefore, you can still use QEMU to debug a Linux kernel with a serial console.

but unfortunately, i don't see any output. The command line that i'm using once i've sshed to my machine is :

qemu-system-x86_64  -hda debian.img -nographic

any idea ?

thanks.
