Do you know how to apply this to the vncserver automatically started
when hvm domains start?

I imagine it should be possible, but it's likely that it's not just a
config option but requires understanding the python code of xm and the
other xen-utils (which I don't at the moment).

----------------------------------------------

 

Well, for my current setup where I have my DomU OS installed on Debian 3.1 with XFCE windows package and VNCserver; what I did was to create a startup script and just add it to boot as you would normally do for a Linux box.So, when my domain boot-up; vncserver will automatically start.

 

Here's the general step (if you're interested):

1. In you DomU OS, create a file call vncserver in /etc/init.d

      # vi /etc/init.d/vncserver

 

2. Your script to start VNC would somehow look like this. This is a general script... you should modify it to suit your own preference. :)

 

#!/bin/sh
#
# Start/stops the vnc service.
#

test -x /usr/bin/realvncserver || exit 0
case "$1" in
        start)
                echo -n "Starting vnc server."
                export USER='root'
                su -c "/usr/bin/vncserver :1 -geometry 1024x768 depth 24"
                ;;
        stop)
                su -c "/usr/bin/vncserver -kill :1"
                ;;
        restart|force-reload)
                $0 stop
                sleep 1
                $0 start
                ;;
        *)
                echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/vncserver {start|stop|restart|force-reload}"
                exit 1
                ;;
esac
exit 0
 

3. Save the script and make it executable.

      # chmod +x /etc/init.d/vncserver
 

4. Add it to boot at startup.

      # update-rc.d vncserver defaults

And you're done...

 

Hope this helps. Cheers~!
