VNC installation blocks itsself when setting up the firewall
Last modified: 2005-11-16 07:46:22 UTC
I installed (fresh installation, no update) a machine using VNC with the following boot parameters: vnc=1 vncpassword=secret usessh=1 sshpassword=secret install=nfs://10.12.80.30/media/cdrom It worked until the release notes should be displayed - VNC was simply blocked. I realized that I had setup the firewall as active (default!) some seconds before. When calling rcSuSEfirewall stop VNC was working again and I could finish the installation. Conclusion: The firewall should start _after_ the VNC installation is complete ;-) You can find the y2logs at https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=56560
... or it should start with VNC port enabled.
