Re: [Xen-users] vfb in PV

["Nikhil Talpallikar" <nikhil.talpallikar@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi,


I tried yum groupinstall "X Windows System" . I got an error saying:


"need atlest 29000MB free disk space"


fc6 PVM fell short of disk space. How can I install a minimal X11 system?



thanks.



cheers,

nikhil

Right. You could post the output of the 'yum install' session.

This gets back to using the vnc server builtin to xen (via xen-vncfb or
qemu-dm, depending on the version of your dom0 kernel & xen and whether you
are installing the domu PV or HVM.) You won't be able to use vnc-server on
the domu until you work out the X11 dependencies.

Using the vnc server capabilities of xen on dom0 just requires having the 'Xen
Virtual Frame Buffer' (fbdev) installed in domu as your video driver. This is
set in the domu's /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Of course, that means you still need to
get X working at least minimally in your domu.

What is your dom0 kernel & xen versions?
