External VNC viewer?
- Thread starter wacked
- Start date
Try to debug with telnet:
# telnet IPADDRESS 5900
to see if the vnc server is answering. Or try to use another port.

Cool thanks. I get
Code:
root@devel:~# telnet 10.33.33.131 5900
Trying 10.33.33.131...
Connected to 10.33.33.131.
Escape character is '^]'.
RFB 003.008And hangs there, waiting for some stream.
Now to search this string...

I tried and tried and tried yesterday and suddenly it started working. Bugger me if I know why it wasn't, I didn't change anything in the process.
Thanks guys!!
PS I would recommend a tick box option in the web GUI to allow external VNC viewing to a VM in Proxmox. That would be the icing on the cake with this beautiful server software!
PSS Hmmm maybe I can look at implementing this myself

Is it right that this only works for KVM and not OpenVZ VM's?
I have OpenVZ VM's on 5901 and 5902 and KVM VM's on 5903 and 5904.
Code:
david@david ~ $
telnet 10.33.33.131 5901
Trying 10.33.33.131...
Connected to 10.33.33.131.
Escape character is '^]'.
unable to find configuration file for VM 101 - no such machine

/usr/sbin/qm qm vncproxy 101 SecretPassword
Is it possible to transfer file directly to/from Guest VM 101 with VNC client ( like UltraVNC ) if I disable temporanealy VM 101 Network?

This works great for KVM guests, but I have not been able to figure out a command line to have vncterm started from inetd. I always get a "connection refused" error. I looked through the x11vnc man page, but from what I can see, vncterm does not support most of the x11vnc options.
vncterm does work from the command line (for a single session).
The simplest thing I tried was:

having issues getting this to work for 1.4 and a kvm instance.
In short - I setup a kvm - but cannot attach via external vnc
what is the easiest how-to for us to follow here -
server id is 101
Strange - seems I can do this on the 1.3 and earlier - but 1.4 just cannot get it to work (go figure)

even trying this
# nc -l -p 5900 -c "qm vncproxy 5900 101 password" fails
:-<
i get connection refused and then that process stops on the server

Hi typo3usa,
I tried it today and it worked very well. I did what clipcarl recommended.
I use UltraVNC as a client to connect to all my KVM instances. Are you sure you opend the ports on the router (if you are behind one)? And forward them to the pve ip - not to the kvm internal nic?
kind regards

I've come up with the attached script to spawn (and respawn) VNC listeners for OpenVZ containers. The script assumes each one listens on 59XX (for 100-199 of course). Usage notes are included at the top of the script.
Usage:
Start with: nohup vz_vnclisten <VMID> &
Stop with: kill `cat /var/run/vz_vnclisten_<VMID>` (may take a while to stop)
Start on boot by adding to /etc/rc.local:
/usr/local/sbin/vz_vnclisten <VMID> &
Usage:
Start with: nohup vz_vnclisten <VMID> &
Stop with: kill `cat /var/run/vz_vnclisten_<VMID>` (may take a while to stop)

/usr/local/sbin/vz_vnclisten <VMID> &

Hi there,
I read this thread on and on to connect my external vnc to the proxmox kvm sessions with "chicken vnc" on Mac. It didn't go well since now and i tought i share my solution with you guys, who has MacOSX 10.6.2.
On my Site this steps works:
1. Download wine from the internet and install it -> http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/
2. Download also Thight VNC only the excecutable Edition -> http://www.tightvnc.com/download/1.3.10/tightvnc-1.3.10_x86_viewer.zip
3. Start on your Proxmox VNC Server via SSH following command: nc -l -p 5900 -c "qm vncproxy VMID PASSWORD" -> exp.: nc -l -p 5900 -c "qm vncproxy 101 mypassword"
-> tnx for this solution @dietmar
4. Just execute the vncviewer from your Mac -> type in the box your IP ADRESS
ORT -> exp: 192.168.1.1:5900
5. Enter your password
-> Now id should work on your Mac to ;-)
Just to explain why i used TightVnc with Wine?
- I wasn't able to connect over firefox to the openvnc session -> it always gave me a blank page
- I tryed safari too, it works for the moment but it didn't fit the screen size so its not really nice to work with it
- So if i tested the firefox and Internetexplorer from my Bootcamp Partition Windows 7 it always worked perfectly, also tightVnc worked without any problem
