Description Olaf Hering 2006-11-02 12:48:26 UTC

a vnc install with minimal.sel is supposed to work.
Its almost perfect with 10.2b1+, but Xvnc can start because it misses some fonts. Current Xorg is very picky:

either one more package has to be added to the hardcoded list in Packages.ycp, or xorg has to pull in the required package via Requires:
This may also fix the similar bug #216079

I currently do not know what package is actually missing.

list of installed packages after selecting minimal.sel

Comment 2 Olaf Hering 2006-11-02 12:59:44 UTC

I ran yast -i xorg-x11-fonts because  thats what contains /usr/share/fonts/misc.
it installed 4 more packages:
xorg-x11-fonts-7.2-4
xorg-x11-fonts-core-7.2-4
ft2demos-2.2.1.20061027-2
fonts-config-20061025-2

I'm not sure if xorg-x11-fonts should go into some Requires or if it should just go into Packages.ycp

Comment 3 Olaf Hering 2006-11-02 13:06:33 UTC

Xvnc itself seems to be happy with xorg-x11-fonts-core itself.

xorg-x11-server has xorg-x11-fonts-core in Requires.
But xorg-x11-Xvnc does not have this Requires.

its a missing SuSEconfig run.

I bet something is skipped due to YAST_IS_RUNNING=instsys

Comment 5 Olaf Hering 2006-11-02 14:31:52 UTC

yes, it is the missing or incomplete SuSEconfig run plus the lack of xorg-x11-fonts-core.

Comment 6 Stefan Dirsch 2006-11-02 16:42:58 UTC

Ok. I'll add a Requires to xorg-x11-fonts to xorg-x11-Xvnc package.

Comment 7 Stefan Dirsch 2006-11-02 17:02:10 UTC

fixed Factory/STABLE and for openSUSE 10.2 Beta2.
