[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#521044: virtinst: virement-install should provide --vncip=IP option

[Cyril Bouthors]

Package: virtinst
Version: 0.400.3-1
Severity: wishlist

'virt-install --vnc' only opens by default a port on 127.0.0.1 and the
VM can't be remotely accessed through the VNC server.

The only way to change it is to apply the following procedure:

 - virt-install --vnc --name foo ...
 - virsh destroy foo
 - virsh dumpxml foo > /tmp/foo.xml
 - vi /tmp/foo.xml
 - add "listen='IP'" in <graphics>, save, quit
 - virsh define /tmp/foo.xml
 - virsh start foo

I guess it would be nice to add an option called "--vncip VNCIP" to
virt-install like the actual "--vncport=VNCPORT".

Thanks.
