Did anyone run IOS XRv on Ubuntu ?
I tried a fresh installation and I had the same problem.

And in virtual box because of the integration with gns3 (not in vmware).

Hi, I'm Alex

It's a pleasure to help you. Nowadays I've successfully installed IOS XRv in my GNS3 running on Linux Ubuntu. If you need any help, please let me know, so we can work someday through an application like Team Viewer

Hi Alex,

I am van and facing a similar issue, I am running Virtaulbox and GNS3 on ubuntu 12.04 64-bits and I have followed all steps but IOS-XR gets stacked at 'Booting IOX-XR' will appreciate it if you could help.

Hi,
I am facing similar problem.
I have ubuntu 14.04

when I give the 'list' command in command line (CLI), I can confirm that the XR is running in GNS using VBOX.
However, I cannot console to the XR routers as it console doesn't open.
Console for other IOS routers are working just fine.

I tried using putty telnet to the 127.0.0.1 and port 3502 (or whatever port it shows in 'list' command of GNS CLI), but putty says connection refuse.

Please help.

Regards,
Ved

Actually the default settings work. Just import the .ova in VirtualBox, then configure the VM in the GNS3 preferences (don't forget to enable console support), drop it on the scene, start and use the console to connect to it. Easy! All you need is lot of RAM to create a decent network :)

Also, the VM uses quite a lot of CPU power when booting (until you get the "SYSTEM CONFIGURATION COMPLETED" message).

Thanks!
