Hi list
I have some troubles with vnc.
In the past it was possible to set the port for vnc with:
-vnc :1
That would mean the port would be 5901, Starting from 5900 plus the given
number. However, it was also possible to set the port directly with a custom
given port.
In my case i usually set the port to something like 5801. Since at least
qemu-1.1.1 and later (don't know since which version it doesn't work correctly
anymore) that's not possible anymore. For example:
-vnc 192.168.1.1:5804
Here the 'real' port would be 11704 (that's 5900 + 5804). I'm pretty sure that
worked correctly in the past, as i'm used it quite often. (now i'm usually use
spice)
Does anyone else have this problem too?
As an workaround i actully starting guest's with: (for port 5804)
-vnc 192.168.1.1:-96
This works, but looks quite strange. My start/stop script actually calculates
the port with "${given_port} + 59635 - 65535
I already made an upstream bugreport without any answer so far. [1]
