Also, FWIW, the same problem has been also seen in the previous Milestone 6. Please let us know in case you need any additional info.

What's interesting, this seems to have worked few weeks ago, maybe something changed in the repos. grep -i vnc y2start.log |-- export VNC="1" |-- export VNCPassword="<your-password>" |-- export vnc="1" |-- export vncpassword="REMOVED_FOR_THIS_BUG" |-- No Xvnc server installed -> Medium VNC disabled |-- Medium VNC has been selected |-- Wished medium is: VNC |-- Medium VNC not available, falling back to ncurses Same thing happens with both 64 bit and 32 bit releases. I'm quite certain the options we use are ok, since the same identical setup we've been replicating since 10.2 or so. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
