I have a VM on virtualbox which acts as an all-in-one Openstack setup. When I spawn a VM on it the VM boots up fine but from the browser I am not able to access its console. There are various ways to solve this issue: 1. In the latest version of devstack (as on February 2015) n-novnc is no longer a default service and needs to be added to the local.conf to enable it. enabled_services=n-novnc ( https://ask.openstack.org/en/question/57993/dashboard-vnc-console-doesnt-work-on-devstack/ ) 2. See if this helps you in tweaking manually : http://docs.openstack.org/admin-guide-cloud/content/nova-vncproxy-replaced-with-nova-novncproxy.html 3.Another geeky solution is that, you can grep the KVM process to figure out the port on which the VNC is getting channeled to and access the console. openstack@Openstack-Server:~/devstack$ ps aux|grep qemu|grep vnc libvirt+ 9167 0.6 2.4 1504044 97488 ?
