Hi All, We generally install our guests with only the most required packages. Since we never run X we obviously don't install that. We have installed our guests with an ssh based install so no VNC or otherwise graphical interface is used either.
Our customer now want's a graphical interface in order to configure the machine. This is a SLES11 SP2 guest. I would like to activate VNC on the guest. I have VNC active but in order to get a graphical login I need to activate XDM. When I start /etc/init.d/xdm it responds "unused" and doesn't get started. In the /var/log/messages I can find: "/etc/init.d/xdm: No changes for /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers" and the same line for xdm-config. I expect it is missing some packages or some configuration but I can't figure out what it needs. Most documentation expect to have a full graphical installation in the first place so they expect all requirements on that part, both packages and configuration, are already available. In the past I have installed a guest through VNC. When installed this way the configuration will be suitable for a VNC connection. But this guest is a SLES10 machine. I try to compare SLES10 against SLES11 but there are some differences between them anyway so it hard to see what needs to be done this way. I have installed tightvnc and fvwm. Any requirements for this have been resolved by Yast during install of these packages. How can I get XDM to start?
