Enable remote VNC for kvm+qemu
Do not do it in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf
, but rather do it in the definition file for the guest itself, for example in /etc/libvirt/qemu/serv64_dev.xml
. here is an example of the relevant section:
<graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' listen='0.0.0.0'>
<listen type='address' address='0.0.0.0'/>
</graphics>
<video>
<model type='vmvga' vram='9216' heads='1'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/>
</video>
Use virsh edit domain name
to edit, example virsh edit serv64_dev
(from any directory), as it does some additional checks upon exit.
The default editor used by virsh edit
is as defined by the $EDITOR environment variable, or VI if it does not exist. add export EDITOR="/bin/nano"
to your ~/.bashrc
file to set, for example, nano as your default editor.
