[Apple M1 Pro] SSH connection refused upon Debian login via QEMU

[diffeo-christopher]

OS: OS X 13.5.2 (22G91) Following the README, I executed:

Command: qemu-system-aarch64 -cpu cortex-a72 -smp cpus=4,sockets=1,cores=4,threads=1 -machine virt,highmem=off -accel hvf -accel tcg,tb-size=2048 -m 2G -initrd initrd.img-5.10.0-11-arm64 -kernel vmlinuz-5.10.0-11-arm64 -append "root=/dev/vda2 console=ttyAMA0" -drive if=virtio,file=debian-dftd-aarch64.qcow2,format=qcow2,id=hd -net user,hostfwd=tcp::10022-:22,hostfwd=tcp::20375-:2375,hostfwd=tcp::5001-:5000 -net nic -device intel-hda -device hda-duplex -nographic (I changed memory from 4G to 2G)

Attempt to login with SSH:

dftd@debian:~$ ssh [email protected] -p 10022
ssh: connect to host 127.0.0.1 port 10022: Connection refused
dftd@debian:~$

Is this expected?

Hey @diffeo-christopher. When you run the qemu-system-aarch64 command, you are dropped right into the running VM. You can tell by your shell prompt dftd@debian. There would be no need to SSH into the host from that shell. You can open another tab in your terminal and try there.

Thanks for supporting me and the book!

Let me know how it goes.
