Hi Mike, Looking at the chapter it looks like this expects the golden image has been installed with vnc. As our machine wasn't installed with vnc it also wasn't configured. My issue in this case was that what is being done during an vnc based install should be done manually but I couldn't find what I had missed.
It does give some good pointers for the installation of a base system. I guess when we are going to install a new golden image I'll take this into consideration too. Thanks, Berry. -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:LINUX-390@vm.marist.edu] On Behalf Of Michael MacIsaac Sent: Monday, November 11, 2013 9:02 PM To: LINUX-390@vm.marist.edu Subject: Re: Activate XDM and VNC Berry, We have had the section "Configure the VNC server" in "The Virtualization Cookbook" for quite a while. Did you compare what you did with that section (16.4.1 for SLES in the current draft at http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/abstracts/sg248147.html ) It does not deal with the X window system, nor XDM. Hope this helps.

Yes, I did try to setup through Yast Remote administration. And No, it didn't help. Regards, Berry. You'll also want to change DISPLAYMANAGER_STARTS_XSERVER="yes" to DISPLAYMANAGER_STARTS_XSERVER="no" It's not critical, but error messages will be generated that might cause concern for someone else looking through the system logs. You didn't mention it, but did you try YaST -> Network Services -> Remote Administration to get VNC set up? I would hope that would have done most/all of the things you discovered necessary. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
