[Xen-users] Getting X-desktop to work in domU

[Johann Spies <jspies@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to set up a new computer with a desktop system in domU and I
am wasting time to get the graphical desktop to work. I have Debian Sid
in dom0 and Debian Etch in domU.

In /etc/gdm/gdm.conf on domU I have:

............
[servers]

0=VNC

[server-VNC]
name=VNC server
command=/usr/bin/Xvnc -geometry 1280x1024 -depth 24
flexible=true
............


I have the following in the configuration of domU on dom0:

............
vif         = [ 'ip=146.232.128.32' ] # dom0's IP
vnc = 1
............

In /var/log/daemon.log on domU:

............
Jun  4 10:09:59 xenburger gdm[1609]: deal_with_x_crashes: Running the
XKeepsCrashing script
Jun  4 10:09:59 xenburger gdm[1609]: Failed to start X server several
times in a short time period; disabling display :0

............

In /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

............
Fatal server error:
xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory)

(WW) xf86CloseConsole: KDSETMODE failed: Bad file descriptor
(WW) xf86CloseConsole: VT_GETMODE failed: Bad file descriptor

............

And in ~/.xsession-errors:
............
Xsession: X session started for root at Mon Jun  4 07:32:38 UTC 2007
xrdb: Connection refused
xrdb: Can't open display ':1'

(x-session-manager:22440): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C
library.
        Using the fallback 'C' locale.

        (x-session-manager:22440): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:  
............

I have started vncserver on the domU and it reported that the nwe
display is runing at :1 but I cannot connect from dom0:

............
vncviewer: ConnectToTcpAddr: connect: Connection refused
Unable to connect to VNC server
............


Can the xen-experts on the list help me to solve this problem please.

Regards
Johann
