Re: [Xen-users] How to make KDE or Gnome available in DomU?
I have to say, that I am confused :-). I have got one of the feelings
that I am completely stupid.
Just to summarize the steps:
After I installed clean DomU
Do I have to install xserver-xorg on domU |yes/no| yes
DO I have to configure ? xserver-xorg |yes/no| yes
(vesa framebufer)
Do I have to install KDE, kdm |yes/no| yes
Do I have to install vnc4server |yes/no| no
Do I have to add some ? line in domU config |yes/no| no
Then I can run vncviewer from any workstation on the network do domU and
it should work?
Thanks Jiri

Hi Mark,
you don't need a framebuffer to use NX. You don't need any video
hardware at all. You just need KDM or GDM, with necessary gnome/kde
environment packages. error about kstartupconfig may mean some
configuration error with kde, no home directory etc.

Hi
I'm trying to do something similar: run a NX server within a Xen
guest. I have
Ubuntu Gutsy as host and Ubuntu Edgy as guest, and amd64
architecture. Am
using paravirtualisation and the framebuffer within the guest.
I get as far as a KDM error page but no futher:
"Could not start kstartupconfig. Check your installation."
Clicking on an OK shuts down the NX screen. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks
