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
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
Mark,
Good idea for the STARTS_XSERVER, though since it is a Proof of Concept we are
not all that concerned with the system logs.
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"
JC,
Without enabling STP_TZ, z/VM will not automatically switch time zones without
an IPL, but you can use the CP SET TIMEZONE command if you don't want to IPL.

GNOME is certainly _not_ needed, although the users may _want_ it. (Or KDE, or
some other desktop.) But that's personal preference.

I have found the problem.
/etc/sysconfig/displaymanager must have DISPLAYMANAGER="xdm" and
DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS="yes". The latter was not available.
In /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager the correct WM must be specified, in this case
fvwm.
Thanks, Berry.

When I understand correctly, the xinet.d service will issue the vncserver
commands. (or rather /usr/X11/Xvnc commands). The vnc server is indeed started
but since xdm isn't started there is no grapghical console to display. In the
SLES10 server I had the same issue until I started the xdm servic
Indeed, Xorg and some Xorg libs are required, these are available. Gnome is not
needed to start xdm.
I have installed a testmachine, once again with the bare minimum to get it
started, and installed through vnc. Obviously since there is hardly anything

You do NOT need a formal graphical logon for to use VNC. By
coincidence, Sir Santa railed against passwords in his blog last week,
and graphical signon typically means yet more passwords. Counter

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
