Hi all, I have Xen 3.0.3 installed on Debian Etch 4.0. The problem I have with it is that vncservers are not run for guest domains (also Etch), nomatter I specify vfb = [ ''type=vnc'' ], or not. Does Xen 3.0.3 support vnc frame buffers, or do I have to upgrade Xen? I know that Xen 3.1 creates vncservers with no problems. Thanks _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Hi Arie, Yes, it does support VNC. Does the xend log, or qemu logs show any errors? --John Arie Goldfeld wrote:> Hi all, > > I have Xen 3.0.3 installed on Debian Etch 4.0.

If you are trying to run PVM + VNC you should upgrade if you are trying to run HVM + VNC 3.0.3 should support what is your vm :) On 8/15/07, Arie Goldfeld <arik.goldfeld@gmail.com> wrote:> Hi all, > > I have Xen 3.0.3 installed on Debian Etch 4.0.

I use PVM for my guest domains. Why Xen 3.0.3 does not run vnc in this case? To what version should I upgrade?

PVM doesn''t use VNC since the OSes supported all have text consoles, so no need for VNC. If you want to run a GUI on the PVM, install VNC onto the PVM itself. --John Arie Goldfeld wrote:> I use PVM for my guest domains. Why Xen 3.0.3 does not run vnc in this > case?

To what version should I upgrade?Well, for 3.0, I don''t know, but for 3.1 it is just not compiled in by default in the distributed binaries. If you really need VNC in PVM''s (which is questionable), you will have to re-compile from source with the ''XENFB_TOOLS=y'' parameter. If you want to go that path on Debian Etch, here is the list of packages you will need to be able to compile Xen 3.1: # Xen runtime dependencies: apt-get install iproute libncurses5 python python-central zlib1g bridge-utils libssl0.9.7 \ libsdl1.2debian libjpeg62 # Development tools: apt-get install binutils gcc bcc make patch bzip2 file gettext # Development Libraries: apt-get install zlib1g-dev python-dev libc6-dev libsdl1.2-dev libvncserver-dev libjpeg62-dev \ libncurses5-dev libssl-dev libxml2-dev libcurl3-dev x-dev # To build documentation (optional): apt-get install tetex-bin tetex-base tetex-extra transfig gs-common graphviz -- Phil. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
I have some experience with Xen 3.1 under FC7. Xen 3.1 uses vnc frame buffer to export guests'' GUI. I can''t use vncserver running on the PVM, since most of them (in my setup) don''t have direct access to Internet. --Arik On 8/16/07, John T.

If you need graphics for paravirt you need Xen 3.0.4 or later.
