title: GNS3 is not showing console to the virtualbox virtual machines
body: <p>GNS3 is not showing the connected virtualbox VMs, however I can see the state is running. Only console from routers are shown.</p>
  
  <p>If I try to run VMs directly from virtualbox, and console is displayed properly, state of course is also running.</p>
  
  <p>So seems that for some reason GNS3 is not displaying VMs, even if they are running.</p>
  
  <p>I was following this instructions, using exactly the same options: <a href="http://www.gns3.net/documentation/gns3/virtualbox-emulation/" rel="nofollow">http://www.gns3.net/documentation/gns3/virtualbox-emulation/</a> and running GNS3 and virtualbox under Debian GNU/Linux 64 bits.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Workaround found:</strong> at least using serial connection I can connect, to do that I followed the next steps: </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>If I activate: "Enable console support"</li>
  <li>Install minicom (e.g.: apt-get install minicom).</li>
  <li>Later "minicom -s" and configure using "/dev/ttyS0" as a port instead "/dev/modem".</li>
  <li>Run again the topology in gns3 and press the button of the menu of "show all consoles".</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Not sure if I still have access by normal terminal instead console port.</p>
