KDE / VNC connecting at Login screen

English Network/Internet

Hey hows it going?

I was curious on how to set VNC to be able to connect to it if its at the logon screen.

I can putty into it but the connecting to it with tightvnc wont work until I logon on the server.

This is an issue since I plan on having this as a database server without a keyboard/ mouse / monitor.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Jeff

Hello

  • Go to YAST2
  • go to network services ‘Remote Administration’ and change status to ‘Allow Remote Administration’ and ‘open Port in Firewall’
  • open Network Services (Xinetd) → install ‘xinetd’ if not present
  • ‘enable’ service on the top
  • scroll down in the services list and select ‘VNC1’
  • than click the button ‘Toggle Status’ so that in front of the VNC1 service you see status ‘On’
  • Click ‘Finish’
  • you should now be able to connect with a VNC client <ip address:1> (example: 192.168.0.10:1, or port number – 192.168.0.10:5901)

P.S.: VNC1 service has resolution 1024x768, VNC2 has resolution 1280x1024 and VNC3 has resolution 1600x1200
You can also connect from a webbrowser with: <ip address:5801> if a vnchttp1 service is ‘On’

Hope that helps
