This instruction is highly depended on the worker/backend. So the instruction should be provided by the worker or backend and only be displayed by the web UI.

So maybe allow an os-autoinst backend to provide that instruction? But the backend might not have all the required information, too. We could also put the instruction in the worker config to make it completely configurable. The worker config is generated via salt and I guess on that level we have all the information about our setup we need to generate the message.

found out something.

https://openqa.suse.de/tests/3654170 is a hyperv job also using Xvnc. bringing the job into developer mode showed the – we know that already – wrong hint that VNC would be available on "VNC port: 109". However as I saw that the assigned worker is "openqaworker2:19" I logged into openqaworker2 and looked up the processes for this worker instance. I could find

now lsof on the backend process returned what is a VNC connection:

the last one looks from the numbers like VNC and I could connect with vncviewer -Shared openqaw5-xen-1.qa.suse.de:5903
