Put ''vncconsole=1'' in your config to automatically spawn a vnc session. After the guest is up, do a ''/bin/ps a -HA'' on dom0, for a threaded process listing with command line args. The line under the one with ''qemu-dm'' should be something like ''vncviewer :5903''. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

RE: [Xen-users] xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: Nosuchfile or directory
Thanks, Jim, for your input. I think I know what the problem is. I have not installed XWindows which VNC depends on. Guest OSs will have server roles and I avoid installing XWindows and the like on servers. Sdl, apparently, also requires X. So the question becomes, is there a text mode way to connect to domU guests in Xen? Thanks, Hamid. -----Original Message----- From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com [mailto:xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com] On Behalf Of jim burns Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2008 4:51 PM To: xen-users@lists.xensource.com Subject: Re: [Xen-users] xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: Nosuchfile or directory On Thursday 07 February 2008 05:19:26 pm Hamid Majidy wrote:> When I start guest with "xm create clientdom", I get: > xm create clientdom > Using config file "./clientdom". > VNC= 3 > Started domain clientdom > > But when I try to connect to it with "vncviewer 192.168.122.1:5900" I get: > VNC Viewer Free Edition 4.1.2 for X - built Mar 14 2007 22:51:02 > Copyright (C) 2002-2005 RealVNC Ltd. > See http://www.realvnc.com for information on VNC. > vncviewer: unable to open display "" >vnc=3 could mean it''s presenting a session on 5903, not 5900.
