Ugh this was a few months ago and I haven't done much with nova recently. IIRC, all you have to do is connect to the :1 vnc on the nova host. So if you have VNC and a GUI on your nova host, you can do that from the host with your favorite vncviewer (ubuntu comes with remote desktop viewer) and connect to :1. So the string you would type into the remote desktop viewer program would be
localhost:1 You can do this through ssh port forwarding as well. Hopefully the above is sensical.
