No, no graphics.

I installed xterm and it's dependencies.

When I ssh -X into the server, and exec 'xterm', it opens graphically locally. So that works.

But when I exec vm-install, I get the error

vm-install libvirt: XML-RPC error : Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory Error: Failed to open a connection to libvirt. Please verify the libvirt daemon is running.

Did `zypper in vm-install` miss some dependencies?

By default vm-install will use libvirt to create VMs. Using the '--use-xl' flag when starting vm-install will ignore libvirt and just use Xen's 'xl' toolstack directly. Also when you were asked, Please specify the type of virtualized graphics hardware. 1: No Graphics Support 2: Paravirtualized Graphics Adapter [2] > You should select '1' here and it won't start a graphical installation (should run in the same window as vm-install is running). - Charles -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+owner@opensuse.org
