Hi All, Could anyone tell me how to start the desktop of a PV DomU? Does Xen support the GUI in PV? And how to run a application with GUI? Any reply is appreciated.

There are several ways to have GUI in PV domU. You can have a virtual frame buffer using something like this on domU config file: vfb=[ "type=vnc,vncunused=1,vnclisten=0.0.0.0" ] ... and you can connect to domU''s "GUI" using "xm vncviewer" (or start vnc viewer directly). However, IMHO it''s easier (and also better) to just install NX free edition/freenx/xrdp on domU, and connect with their respective client from a remote machine. -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I use the vncviewer to connect to DomU and then I can see the window of vnc. However, the whole vnc window is black. I use xm console to connect to DomU and it works well. Does it need some else configuration for xen vnc?

It''s ok now. I just run the startx command in the console and I can see the desktop of DomU in the vnc window.

Just make sure you are using the right fb stanze. vfb = [ ''vnc=1, vnclisten=0.0.0.0,vncunused=1''] BTW, why aren''t you sending this email to xen-users? _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
