You are almost there - having enabled the remote option in Sax2, now open a terminal window, su to root, and execute vncpasswd to set the vnc password for the root user - once you do that, you will be able to VNC into the box. Mello wrote:
I do have a second network i/f in fact but it is shown as "Not configured" in YAST2 (Network Devices -> Network Card). What do exactly mean by "disabling"?
BTW, I've noticed that SaX2 has an "Allow Access... VNC Protocol" option. I've enabled that as well and now, when I try to access by browser (HTTP port 5801) I get until the VNC Authentication page but there it stops.

That's exactly what I'd done. First "init 3", then "init 5" and finally rebooted (must be the Win syndrome).
I've also checked /var/log/messages but couldn't find any error/alert
(nor
I expected to find any).
My googling continues... -mw

Hi Jerry, thanks for your prompt reply. I went into YAST2/sysconfig editor and I believe I've found those
settings
you mentioned. Under the following hierarchy: Desktop -> Display manager I've
checked:
DISPLAYMANAGER = kdm DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS = yes DISPLAYMANAGER_ROOT_LOGIN_REMOTE = yes (this even scares me a bit) DISPLAYMANAGER_STARTS_XSERVER = yes
The problem still stays: no login manager in vncviewer. Will be waiting for more ideas :) THX, -mw
Okay, DISPLAYMANAGER_ROOT_LOGIN_REMOTE allows you to login as Root
when
connecting via vnc. Choose your poison... Several times I've found that specifically those options did take
effect
until I dropped to "init 3" and back to "Init 5", I usually reboot... Although It's a nono to say something like that about linux! Jerry

Do you have more than one net interface? I was running VNC successfully until I added another interface to do some testing, it caused the exact same thing as you have. I disabled the interface and all is well.
