I''m trying to launch a pvm SXDE machine that I''ve used with 3.1 in the past. I recently upgraded to 3.2 via the Ubuntu Hardy packages and now I can''t seem to get vnc to launch. I want VNC to launch a server after boot but I''m currently stuck with using the text console. I have tried using vnc=1 as before, but there are no vnc related log entries in xend.log to help me figure out why the vnc server is not launching. I have the libvncserver libraries, etc installed. Using vnc=1 and vncviewer=1 launches vncviewer with -listen but the server never starts so vncviewer never launches a display. I wanted to see if there are some common solutions that might work for this. If not then I can post entries from the xend.log, etc. But so far there are no errors being reported in xend.conf.

Hi Michael, Did you configure the VNC server in xend-config.sxp? Is it a remote host, or are you in front of the machine? Thanks, *Henri Cook* Orion Internet Services Ltd.

Well, this isn''t a remote machine, but I don''t have X installed. I do have libvncserver installed. All I have configured in xend-config.sxp is (vnc-listen ''0.0.0.0'') and (vncpasswd ''password''). I honestly didn''t have the password configured before, but blank or not, it still doesn''t start a VNC server.

The server is built in to "qemu-dm -M xenpv ..."/xen-vncfb, etc. I''ve had a similar problem on fedora 8 with PV guests since xen 3.1.2. Hvm guests launch a viewer automatically, PV guests do not, regardless of the vnc/vncunused/vncdisplay vars. However, the domain is running (see xm list) - I just have to connect a viewer manually on the expected port. If you don''t know what port to expect, do a ''virsh dumpxml domainname'', and look at the port= value in the ''graphics'' stanza. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
