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.

It is working for me although I think you should specify more that a 1 Gig disk which is to small to fit even a base system with a swap file. - Charles -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+owner@opensuse.org

Sure. I'll use reasonable values for that and RAM and etc once it actually works. At the moment, it doesn't. Whether I use 1 GB, or the default 8 GB for the disk size.

Is the install failing at the start or after it has completed and there is a reboot? Do you have /usr/bin/xterm? Another flag you can use with vm-install is '--preserve-on-error' which will keep the disk image around on a failure (useful if the install finishes but fails on reboot). You can then inspect the image or use a configuration file to try and start it. - Charles -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+owner@opensuse.org

At the start.

Not applicable here, then.
Do you have /usr/bin/xterm?
Yes. Like above, I can launch it just fine. I completely unninstalled/reinstalled 'xterm'. That fixed something. Now, using vm-install --use-xl --preserve-on-error I finally get the ncurses "YaST2 - installation" window in my 'ssh -X' shell Initializing... ������������������������������Ŀ � Your computer does not fulfill all requirements for � � a graphical installation.

If I select [2] instead, I don't get to the Yast2 installer. It stops at Failed to display the VM's console. Please connect a viewer manually. What minimal set of pkgs needs to get installed on Dom0 to bring the DomU installer up in the usual graphical mode? Also, if I Abort the install, there's still no config file in /etc/xen/vm.
