This is driving me crazy. I'm pretty sure something must be screwed up on my setup on the SuSE box. The box is configured with the VNC servers on in Yast's internet services section. From my XP laptop, I can use vncviewer to connect to the SuSE box, e.g, 192.168.1.2:1 and I get a connection ok, but I never see a login screen. Only the root X screen shows up 'Nobody's X11 Desktop'. I've probably managed to turn something off that should be on, but damn if I can find what that is. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

The simplest way to enable remote logins through VNC is to enable remote administration in YaST->Network services. Despite the name, what that option actually does is enable kdm-over-VNC logins

Thanks, tried it. Restarted kdm like it told me to, then tried connecting from the laptop and no go, still get just the root X screen with no login. Another strange thing is that the Start -> Logout menu choice no longer works, clicking it does nothing. I have a feeling I've hosed something.

More info, the setting does not seem to take. If I go back into Yast after X restarts, the setting is back to do not allow. Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.5-7.108-default x86_64

I ran into that same problem. Never did figure out exactly what was causing it. Eventually when I set Enable Remote Administration ON it came back and re-loaded TightVNC, XFree86-vnc and a couple other programs that I know were already loaded... Started working after that. YMMV, Stan

A clue here, running SuSEconfig from a shell prompt gets me this message.... ATTENTION: You have modified /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm//kdmrc. Leaving it untouched... You can find my version in /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm//kdmrc.SuSEconfig... I'm going to try replacing kdmrc with the SuSEconfig version and restarting xdm.

That worked! So, somehow I had a kdmrc that SuSEconfig wouldn't modify (no clue how I accomplished that). Replacing it with the SuSEconfig generated version solved the problem, the KDE login and desktop now display!

Be sure to do, as root cat /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc|md5sum
/var/adm/SuSEconfig/md5/etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc
That way, SuSEconfig will work in future, so you don't have to copy the file manually
