Xen users - Oct 2007 - Using vncserver and vncviewer on XEN problems...

Hi

I have installed XEN 3.1 on Slack12 like Dom0 and a Debian Sarge like 
DomU. I have installed all vnc component in order to use a X display 
under the DomU. I start vncserver like this under domU:

vncserver :1

and this work fine...So i try to start a vncviewer like this:

vncviewer :1

or

vncviewer my_ip:1

Any command work and return this error:

"Error: Can''t open display:"

I read some help that have suggested this procedure but I obtain this 
error....what I wrong?

I have installed XDM also, like this:

apt-get install xdm
echo '':0 /usr/bin/Xvnc /usr/bin/Xvnc -geometry 1024x768 -depth
24'' \ >
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers

Once this has been done start the manager with:
/etc/init.d/xdm stop
/etc/init.d/xdm start



TNX in advance.

Best

You want the ip of the domU. When you setup vnc the normal way, in the
domU''s
config file, the ip is of the dom0 host.

Hi

Humm....you could explain better what you mean? I use ''vncviewer 
my_ip:1'' where my_ip is a domU ip.

Tnx

With Xen 3.1 you could just (possibly at the expense of some performance) get 
dom0 to export the domain''s paravirt framebuffer device over VNC.  This
avoids you having to configure the VNC in each guest.

Or you can configure and SDL frontend so that when you start the domain a 
window will open on dom0''s display, giving you a "virtual
display" to
interact with directly.

If you''re running VNC in the guest, the IP address should be that of
the
guest.  If you ever configure dom0 to export the display, then you''d
instead
want to use the IP address of dom0.

I don''t understand well that you say but I search some infos about that

Exactly! I run VNC server in dom0 (work fine and return a message about 
a :1 display created well....) and I try to use ''vncviewer
ip_domU:1''
but I receive this error: "Error: Can''t open display:".

Any idea?
