[opensuse-gnome] need help : quick question : SLES 12 VM on Microsoft Azure - Gnome + xrdp ?
Hi, first - sorry for being a total Linux novice. I have to run some tests with SLES on a Microsoft Azure VM. Being a Microsoftie I need some GUI. So I came across Gnome. Here is my problem : 1. Looking around on the Internet I was able to find a way to install Gnome and xrdp on SLES 11 SP3 via zypper in a putty window 2. Looking around on the Internet I couldn't figure out how to do the same easy thing with SLES 12 - which is also available on Azure. With SLES 11SP3 after installation I could use the "Connect" button in my Azure portal to connect to the VM. Then SUSE Enterprise Desktop gave me the choice to select Gnome - see screenshot below. But with SLES 12 I get a "xrdp dialog" and no Gnome selection. Can you tell me if there if there is a simple way to make my xrdp-Gnome login work with SLES 12 like I did it with SLES 11SP3 ? 3. I installed Gnome with this command in a putty window : zypper install -t pattern x11 gnome and xrdp like this : zypper in xrdp That's all what was necessary with SLES 11SP3. Then it just worked. Thanks for your help Kind Regards Hermann -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org

Sorry for the late response. We had a few bugs in xrdp package in SLE12 which are being worked on and we should expect a bugfix update for xrdp package, fixing those, in the near future. Sorry about that. -- Frederic Crozat Project Manager Enterprise Desktop SUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org

Sorry about that.
I forgot: in the mean time, you should use Xvnc, which will work fine.. -- Frederic Crozat Project Manager Enterprise Desktop SUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org
