Hi, I try to install with virt-install and sometimes vncviewer get an error message that says "unable to connect to host:Connection refused(111)". So, I cannot continue installation. The attached patch to resolve this issues in the following way: 1) Check whether the domain has VNCport number. 2) If the number is exist, use the VNCport number. 3) If not, check again every 0.25 second up to 40 seconds.
