Hi, I'm trying to install a virtual machine from a .iso DVD image but am having problems, as VNC is listening on 127.0.0.1 only and this is a headless server. Just as a bit of background information, I'm doing this via SSH on a Dell Poweredge server which has Ubuntu Server 8.10 on and libvirt 0.4.4-3ubuntu3. So far I've successfully virtualised Ubuntu using the Ubuntu vm-builder and can connect to the screens via VNC. The command I'm using to install from .iso images is: sudo virt-install --hvm --accelerate --os-type=linux --bridge=br0 --ram=256 --vcpus=4 --check-cpu --name=centos1 --file-size=4 --vnc --file=/home/stephan/centos1 --location=/home/picseltech/centos.iso This is fine, it starts off the install and tells me I can connect via VNC to finish it off. However, unfortunately the VNC connection is only accessible through 127.0.0.1 and I'm doing this remotely. Is there a way to specify the VNC listening IP address for the new virtual machine? In /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf I put vnc_listen = "172.16.1.10" , but it doesn't pick that up. I've read the virt-install man page, but it only says how to specify the port. I can make it listen on the right IP by changing /etc/libvirt/qemu/centos1.xml to this once the machine has been created: <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' listen='172.16.1.10'/> then redefining it through virsh and stopping/restarting the virtual machine, but by that point the install has messed up. Is there a way to specify what IP VNC listens on before the install starts? Thanks for your help.
