Getting graphics under qemu? about poky-container HOT 2 CLOSED

@DylanBartlett,

Ignore my last comment which I deleted. I wasn't aware of the publicvnc option that had been added to runqemu. I tested it out and it does work.

The reason you don't see a vnc server is because it is built into qemu. When you run with the publicvnc option, you will only get a small amount of output on the terminal. All of the rest will go to the vnc server.

However, you will also need to redirect the ports from the container to the outside. For example here is how I started the container:

docker run -it --rm -p 127.0.0.1:20000:5900 crops/poky

After that you should see all the output when you connect your vnc client to port 20000, or whatever you decided to use.

Ah, thanks for pointing that out to me rewitt1. I wasn't aware I had to forward the port like that. I'll try this out when I try working on my own Yocto layers.
