VNC Server IS running on ::1:5901

Question

I am new to Linux. I have installed qemu-kvm when I started it shows command

VNC server running on `::1:5901'

Can any one please tell me how can I can access vnc server I have real vnc server and viewer also

Answer 1

When the shell prompts VNC server running on ::1:5901 you can then use

virt-viewer vnc://localhost:5901

to connect the guest or you can open the remote desktop viewer (a GUI tool) to connect it by vnc protocol and localhost:1. This works in my case, hope it will work for you too!

Answer 2

If you want to access you machine over vnc first thing you need to do is configure vnc to listen on all interface. To do that enable/add vnc_listen = "0.0.0.0" in your /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf file and restart libvirtd. Now you can access you guest on yourkvmhostip:5901 through vnc.
