When I launch a VM is there a way to determine the IP the VM is using? I want to be able to ssh to it.

The VM has:

root@ubuntu-qemu-1404:~# ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:54:00:12:34:56
          inet addr:10.0.2.15 Bcast:10.0.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

But I can't login :

(trusty)root@jade-rev4:~# ssh jpd@10.0.2.15
ssh: connect to host 10.0.2.15 port 22: No route to host
(trusty)root@jade-rev4:~#

If you are running this in virtualbox, power off the guest and set the network to bridged. It will get an IP from your router and appear as a new PC on the LAN.

Much easier.

Thanks. This isn't virtualbox. Is bridge networking modes available in qemu-system ? The network modes are not very descriptive.

This is the launch :

(trusty)root@jade-rev4:/home2/qemu# cat go14.04.sh
exec qemu-system-ppc -M ppce500 -nographic -kernel jade-kernel-2.0.bin \
                -initrd jade-initrd-2.0.bin -m 1G -enable-kvm -drive \
         file=jade-ubuntu-14.04.qcow2.netinstall,if=virtio -append "console=ttyS0" \
         -no-shutdown -no-reboot -name Ubuntu-$$

None of those reference materials list how to determine a IP address of a guest OS from the host.
