I have a server that I've upgraded from 9.2 to 9.3 As I only have a VGA monitor on the box I only want console access through the screen. However I do want to VNC/X11 onto the box hence I need to operate in runlevel 5.
With 9.2 I used the "Displaymanager starts X server" paramemter set to no. This doesn't to work in 9.3 i.e. I can't stop the X server loading. I have manually run SuSEconfig and checked that it wasn't skipping any files that it thought I had changed.
Any help would be appreciated.
The format of kdmrc has changed, and YaST apparently hasn't kept up
Edit /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc and look for the line
StaticServers=:0
and remove the :0 so it becomes
StaticServers=
Then find
ReserveServer=:1,:2,:3,:4,:5
and clear that one as well. And then find
ServerVTs=-7
and clear that one. Then find the [Xdmcp] section and make sure it has
Enabled=true
then restart kdm with
rcxdm stop rcxdm start
Thanks, that was what was what I needed, just to prove the point I switched to runlevel 3 and that killed the remote desktop (VNC) login capability.
Your fix for kdmrc worked a treat I now have a text console on the box and can VNC / remote X onto it as needed. I will probably be putting LTSP onto this box hence the need for remote X capability.
Thanks for the help, let's hope SuSE are listening and fix the yast / sysconfig bug.
David, did you sent suse feedback with the feedback form? http://www.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Faq Is it possible that you store the info in a wiki, e.g at: http://www.susewiki.org/ -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
