Connect Virtual Machine to real Virtual Terminal

Post by askmicah »

I have not found any information on connecting the virtual machine to an actual Virtual Terminal (As in Linux), so is there anyone who knows how to do this?

Right now I suspect I have to always use Xorg to interface with a virtual machine, but it would make much more sense for the virtual machine to have direct access to the actual terminal when using the machine for a work environment... I will happily remove this post if it is considered impossible or of no value by the community.

A pragmatic approach would be to just start the virtual machine headless and then connect to it using ssh or telnet using one of your existing virtual terminals.
