[one-users] VNC and serial console

[Vassilis Vatikiotis]

Is it possible to setup both noVNC and a serial console?

I've already setup a template for serial access like this (in the
Other-> RAW data)
<devices>
<serial type="pty">
<target port="0"/>
</serial>
<console type="pty">
<target port="0"/>
</console>
</devices>

Whenever I try to setup something like the following, noVNC proceeds
normally but never reaches login:
In /etc/init/ttyS1.conf:

# ttyS1 - getty
#
# This service maintains a getty on ttyS1 from the point the system is
# started until it is shut down again.

start on stopped rc or RUNLEVEL=[12345]
stop on runlevel [!12345]

respawn
exec /sbin/getty -L ttyS1 vt102

When I remove the above file noVNC start behaves as expected i.e. I can login.

So, in my test, I can have, either serial console access *or* noVNC.
Never both. Is this possible?

Thanks!
