Description brian avery 2016-10-28 18:59:54 UTC 
The current containers need to have a vnc session available so that we an connect a vnc client to them and so that things like $DISPLAY=42:0 qemu can run and we can connect to the container using a vnc client.
Running such a container you would need to  map the vnc port 
aka
-p 6900:5900 for example and then you can connect to the container x display.

Demoting this to a medium+. It's not a part of YP so much as part of a derivative project (CROPS). Since HIGH bugs should be release blockers for YP or candidates for release blockers, having CROPS bugs be HIGH just get's confusing.

Moving to Joshua.

The PR to implement this is on github.  The test to verify it works is not.

A test could look something like:
  virtualenv FROG

  . FROG/bin/activate


  pip install vncdotool


  vncdo -s 192.168.168.88  -p "" capture screen.png


  identify -unique -verbose screen.png  | egrep lime

assuming that we ran a clock with a green background.

$>xclock -bg green

runqemu publicvnc option works for me too, I'm able to connect to qemu's VNC display after mapping -p 5900:5900

Bulk move from 4.99 or 0.00 to 5.99
