I tried that but it (the password) doesn't appear to be stored in the xenstore database. See attachment for "xenstore-ls" output. Perhaps a more granular xenstore-ls and/or xenstore-read command is necessary to extract the password. Or perhaps, as you mentioned, due to changes implemented in Xen 3.3 since the release of 2009.06/build111.b, this information is not available in the xenstore database at all. (The IP address is still available by the way). I put this paragraph here for the sake of discussion and completness when others search the internet for this same question. **But here is what worked for me this morning. Instead of trying to determine the random vnc password generated for the "jack" opensolaris live CD user (which, again, may not be available for query in the xenstore databased due to ongoing implementation changes), I simply changed the password to something you know: j...@opensolaris:~$ vncpasswd /etc/X11/.vncpasswd (Note: you must specify that file). Password: ******** Verify: ******** j...@opensolaris:~$ u...@dom0$ vncviewer ipaddress::590x (where x = "domainID - 1") e.g. u...@dom0$ vncviewer 10.0.2.1::5900 (domainID was equal to 1 according to "xm list") That works! > On a side note, I have been playing with a small text based > installer if your interested..

But also, lets say all graphical VNC attempts would have failed. What would have been the *native* CLI command to start a text based install, either as user "jack" or "root". Back in the day it use to be "sun-install". Not sure what it is toay (if any) in the live CD. Thanks for you help btw. Appreciated! -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
