Issue with VNC?

[Pducharme]

Hi, I'm trying to create a new VM for Linux (OpenMediaVault).  I can't even connect to VNC.  Is this good entry in the XML :

 

  <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' websocket='-1' listen='0.0.0.0'>
      <listen type='address' address='0.0.0.0'/>
    </graphics>

 

Thank you!

Looks right.  You could try autoport no and a specific vnc port and a websocket that's 200 less.

Both doesn't work  

 

I can create a VM, but can't connect to it, so I can't install anything   Always say :  Server Disconnected:  Code 1006.

Do you need to specify an IP address?  In Xen you need to specify the listening IP address.

Make port 5900 and try using the tiger vnc client to connect.

This is from my WIN8 VM:

 

    <graphics type='vnc' port='5900' autoport='yes' websocket='5700' listen='0.0.0.0'>
      <listen type='address' address='0.0.0.0'/>
    </graphics>
    <video>
      <model type='cirrus' vram='9216' heads='1'/>
      <alias name='video0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/>
    </video>

 

I think I made the websocket 5700 because I had other VMs at the time using 5900 and 5800 (I just move down 100 at a time).  I should probably make the port 5700 also for consistency but I really only ever use the websocket anyway.

it works now, when I specify a Port, AutoPort to No and a Websocket port.  Don't know why it wasn't working before... but now it work.

 

It didn't solve my main issue with the limited FTP server included in Unraid.  I was trying to use the Excellent "OpenMediaVault" in a VM with 9p sharing enabled to use their FTP server with Lots of webGUI configuration.  Finally, OMV doesn't recognize the 9p sharing, the only option in OMV is to add Storage and it looks for devices, so except using that on the server itself instead of using Unraid, OMV is not my solution.

 

Instead, I finally end up using a Win8.1 VM with BulletProof FTP Server and I added a \\Unraid\Folder share to the config.  It's far from ideal because it goes thru SMB before being served by FTP.
