Hello, new to the list, and new to Xen, so apologies if this is a stupid question. Has anybody had any success booting a Kubuntu/Ubuntu Live CD on a HVM guest and connecting to it with VNC? The VM refuses to start X when I try - same result with stdvga=0 or 1 - so I can connect but only see a console. If I boot the CD with safe VGA mode, it works fine. Any advice? Obviously I can install in Safe vga mode and then connect using Free NX or similar, but it''s annoying to remember to do that... Cheers, Paul _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
