Installing Genode within container

[Subhadeep Sarkar]

Hi, 

I don't know if I am bothering you too much! Yes, as you correctly pointed out, I am unable to connect to the VNC server. I am working with Docker containers. 

Here's the message I get while I try to run make -C build/x86_32 KERNEL=okl4 run/demo. 

spawn qemu-system-i386 -no-kvm 127.0.0.1:0 -serial mon:stdio -m 512 -cdrom var/run/demo.iso 
qemu-system-i386: -no-kvm: Unknown protocol '127.0.0.1' 
Aborting, received EOF 
Log step failed, retry. 
spawn qemu-system-i386 -no-kvm 127.0.0.1:0 -serial mon:stdio -m 512 -cdrom var/run/demo.iso -cdrom var/run/demo.iso 
qemu-system-i386: -no-kvm: Unknown protocol '127.0.0.1' 
Aborting, received EOF 
Log step failed, retry.making some silly mistakes 
spawn qemu-system-i386 -no-kvm 127.0.0.1:0 -serial mon:stdio -m 512 -cdrom var/run/demo.iso -cdrom var/run/demo.iso -cdrom var/run/demo.iso 
qemu-system-i386: -no-kvm: Unknown protocol '127.0.0.1' 
Aborting, received EOF 
Log step failed, retry. 
Boot process failed 3 times in series. I give up! 

My container IP details are as follows: 

root at ...556...:/Genode/genode# ifconfig 
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 02:42:ac:11:00:02

I am sure that I am making some silly mistakes. Thank you for your support, though! 

Yours sincerely, 
Subhadeep
