Pkg xen devel - Apr 2014 - Processed: Re: Bug#744157: VNC parameters can be set only globally using xl

Package: xen-utils-4.1
Version: 4.1.4-3+deb7u1

Switching to the xl toolstack I expected my configuration to
work unmodified, but it doesn't, and I couldn't find any documentation
regarding this, since xl.cfg(5) is missing.


Original version, used with xm:
vfb = ['type=vnc,vnclisten=0.0.0.0:6369,vncdisplay=6369,vncpasswd=x']

Working xl version:
vnclisten="0.0.0.0:6369"
vncpasswd="x"

Without the globally set VNC parameters the VNC server listens on
127.0.0.1:5900 when the domain is started with xl create.


Complete configuration which doesn't produce the expected result using xl:

kernel = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader'
builder='hvm'
device_model = '/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
vfb = ['type=vnc,vnclisten=0.0.0.0:6369,vncdisplay=6369,vncpasswd=x']
memory = 256
name = "x"
vcpus = 1
vif = [ 'vifname=x,mac=00:16:3e:00:01:0d,ip=x' ]
disk = [ 'phy:x,hda,w', ]

Thanks for your reports.

xl in 4.1 was a preview (according to upstream). I believe that all of
the issues with xl which you have reported are fixed by the current 4.4
release or earlier (e.g 4.2 or 4.3). Therefore I'm tagging them all as
such with this one mail to the bug control address.

Thanks,
Ian.
