This is an Ubuntu VPS.

Also KVM console cannot be used (I figure that is because I don't have a needed firewall rule in place to open the port it needs)

Thanks
Update, I got in using KVM. I just had to use a different browser (did not like chrome under linux, but was fine with firefox).

Mods, can delete this thread, or keep open if its useful.
