Re: [Xen-users] Virt-install cannot display console

Before you start this process check that you in fact have a DISPLAY set for your local environment:

 

> echo $DISPLAY

 

It's very easy when doing SSH to remote targets or doing lots of su and sudo games to lose your DISPLAY settings. And I've had problems starting vncviewer when virt-manager was already running.
