Cannot open VNC Console?

[lightl]

Hello,

When trying to open the console of a virtual machine I am getting:

 Error: Host 192.168.255.38 port 5900 is not an RFB server

What does this error mean, exactly?

means that the VNC server does not run. when do you get this error, can you reproduce it?

Tom,

Thanks for helping me earlier, I feel bad for asking a question that could be solved by reading documentation.

I can reproduce this. I've created another virtual machine and when trying to get to the console I get this error again.

Doing a ps auxwwwf I see these VM's are started like so:

First VM:

/usr/bin/kvm -monitor pty -vnc unix:/tmp/qemu-server-vnc-101.socket,password -usbdevice tablet -name Test -smp 1 -k en-us -drive file=/var/lib/vz/images/101/vm-101-disk.qcow2,if=ide,index=0,boot=on -drive file=/dev/cdrom,if=ide,index=2,media=cdrom -m 512 -net tap,vlan=0,script=/var/lib/qemu-server/bridge-vlan0 -net nic,vlan=0,model=rtl8139,macaddr=6E:6A:9C:A0:13:64

Second VM:

/usr/bin/kvm -monitor pty -vnc unix:/tmp/qemu-server-vnc-102.socket,password -usbdevice tablet -name LukeTest -smp 1 -k en-us -drive file=/var/lib/vz/images/102/vm-102-disk.qcow2,if=ide,index=0,boot=on -drive file=/dev/cdrom,if=ide,index=2,media=cdrom -m 512 -net tap,vlan=0,script=/var/lib/qemu-server/bridge-vlan0 -net nic,vlan=0,model=rtl8139,macaddr=FE:EE:5E:75:36:7B

Tom,

I got it working by rebooting?

Probably has to do with init scripts, and apt. I am sorry to have wasted your time, yet again.
