I am looking for detailed information or a single reproducible example of
starting a VM using the qemu-kvm command from a script under Linux (and a
display script on a control host, obviously). What software needs to be
installed and running on the host, and what needs to be on the remote
accessing display.
Please: this is not a question about doing something else using some other
method, I need to be able to drop a disk image and a few parameters into a
KVM host and start it in such a way that there is not human intervention
nor previous preparation such as virt-manager or similar.
I run desktops and servers under KVM using both command line start and
managers, I just keep running into documentation which tells me to use a
"vnc specifier" without explanation of what that might look like or a
single reproducible example of same.
-vnc localhost:1 -- will display the guest VGA display on the localhost.
A remote system can do:
vncviewer ${kvmhost}:1
If you say -vnc localhost:1, then vncviewer ${kvmhost}:1 will certainly
not work.
You have to say -vnc :1, then vncviewer ${kvmhost}:1.
And happiness will ensue by s/vncviewer/vinagre/.

Anthony Liguori
