[Fiware-lab-help] unable to login to VM on filab

[Jan Vandepitte]

Hi

This is for Gent region.

I can't SSH into the machine, nor ping it. That's why I try VNC. So I cannot set the UN/PW.

I have done the setup of the network configuration correctly (as described) multiple times. Techsupport of creatify has advised me to connect via VNC so I can look at the connection problems, but apparently I cannot use VNC when I haven't logged in via SSH.

Best regards

Jan Vandepitte.

Dear,

First of all, can you please let us also know the region you are using ?

Usually there is no way to connect to a fresh new instance via the console if the instance is started from a default image, since they usually permit access only via ssh. In other words you should be able to reach the instance via network and use the ssh private/public keys in order to login.
Maybe your instance has some network misconfiguration, please have a look at this:

Best,
