Description Forgotten User 7bFuVpfALd 2010-05-21 14:48:28 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.3; Linux) KHTML/4.3.5 (like Gecko) SUSE

No display-manager is presented when accessing system via vnc for remote administration. Login and remote administration not possible.

Followed the instructions on http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/Modules/Remote_Administration to enable remote administration.
N.B.: Remote administration is not mentioned in the 'openSUSE 11.2 Reference Guide', so the wikipage is the only reference available.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Yast2 => Network Services => Remote Administration (VNC) 
2. Choose 'Allow Remote Administration'. (FW is disabled.)
3. Exit dialog and Yast2 with Ok/Quit.
4. Run rcxdm restart
5. Connect via vnc from remote machine: vncviewer hostname::5901
Actual Results:  
Vnc client displays black screen. Mouse pointer has default X-shape.

Expected Results:  
Displaymanager login screen as configured in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager
