Hi Richard,

Maybe be a bit less specific in your searches... more hits might give a

lib* packages per definition do not sound like I would need / want to
install them on my own. Sounds more like system libraries that are
needed by some other stuff...
missing xvnc :) sounds like zypper search vnc from above lists one
package matching rather well:
--> xorg-x11-Xvnc
arguably, the package installing vncserver (tightvnc, according to cnf)
should have a dependency to xorg-X11-Xvnc... that would be a bug to be
reported in bugzilla imho. On the other hand, checking here to install
tightvnc wants to trigger the install.. so it might well be that your
system is just a little bit 'inconsistent'. Maybe try "zypper verify" to
see what this spits?
On a healthy system, it should say:
# zypper verify
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Dependencies of all installed packages are satisfied.
If you would make your life much easier, you'd probably have started
yast, selected Remote Administration (VNC), selected 'enable' and the
module would have suggested to install xorg-x11-Xvnc for you... and
rightly just offered to do so :)
Hope that help you out of your troubles.

I have 11.4 MS5 installed on a reasonably powerful old box, using
more-or-less the defaults. X runs OK, but I cannot start a vnc server:
# zypper se vncserver
suggests LibVNCServer

better overview of what is needed:
zypper se vnc
# zypper in LibVNCServer
seems happy

but then as user:
~> vncserver -geometry 1024x600 -depth 24
vncserver: couldn't find "Xvnc" on your PATH.

Is this me or is it a bug? Nothing obvious on Bugzilla nor on
most-annoying-bugs.
