Virtualization - KVM - how to view guest on host

[satimis]

Hi folks,


Ubuntu 8.04 desktop amd64
KVM


On host terminal I can create guest .img and start it.

Create guest .img

# qemu-img create -f qcow2 guest.img 10G

# kvm -hda guest.img -cdrom /dev/scd0 -m 512 -vnc :0

Start guest.img

# kvm guest.img -vnc :0

But I can't view/operate guest on host. I must run vncviewer on remote machine terminal;

$ vncview 192.168.0.110:0


to view and operate the guest. 192.168.0.110 is host local IP address.


Please advise how to view and operate guest on host. TIA

Have you tried using localhost or 127.0.0.1 instead of the lan address?

Hi,


Thanks for your advice.


$ vncviewer localhost

[: 6: ==: unexpected operator
localhost 5900
/usr/bin/vncviewer: 28: java: not found

$ vncviewer 127.0.0.1

[: 6: ==: unexpected operator
127.0.0.1 5900
/usr/bin/vncviewer: 28: java: not found

Also tried as root with the same result.


$ cat /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1	localhost.localdomain  localhost
127.0.1.1	ubuntu804-desktop

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

Hi bigtomrodney and folks,


Problem solved.


I need "xtightvncviewer" additional to;

tightvncserver
tightvnc-java

After installing it. Then "vncviewer 127.0.0.1" works. Thanks.


Any suggestion on configuring size of the viewer window. TIA
