Description Jerry Westrick 2009-08-22 17:09:10 UTC
Attempt to do remote installation with vnc=1 didnot work.
we could get no access to vnc,  could not confirm that a vncserver
was running (at least not from external via tcp)

Workaround
Hi, seeing this problem I got sshd up (rcsshd start), assigned a root password (passwd root) and copied the Xvnc binary from an Open SuSE 11.2 already installed system (scp -Cp /usr/bin/Xvnc root@ip_you_are_installing_to:/usr/bin/)
done this i invoked yast (/sbin/yast) and Voilá i recieved the message from VNC at ip_you_are_installing_to display :1
In my case:
--------------------------

inst-sys:~ # ls /usr/bin/X*
Xorg  Xvnc
inst-sys:~ # /sbin/yast
unicode_start skipped on /dev/pts/0
Probing connected terminal...

Initializing virtual console...

Found an xterm terminal on /dev/pts/0 (97 columns x 26 lines).
Please supply a config file

starting VNC server...
A log file will be written to: /var/log/YaST2/vncserver.log ...

***
***           You can connect to 192.168.100.27, display :1 now with vncviewer
***           Or use a Java capable browser on  http://192.168.100.27:5801/
***

(When YaST2 is finished, close your VNC viewer and return to this window.)
