Thanks for the help last week on my problem with getting remote VNC access to a new SUSE installation. I found that my problem was an overenthusiastic SUSE firewall. Although I checked the firewall port open options when I opted in YaST for enabling the VNC ("Remote KDE desktop") server. There must be a bug that is causing the wrong port to be opened for VNC. I should be able to go into YaST firewall configuration and manually open port 5900. But I've hot a new problem: suddenly, KDE can't see m keyboard. It doesn't see any characters I enter, except that the Alt-F4 combination, which used to close the current window, now pops me out to a kernel login. The keyboard works fine here, so I know it's not my hardware. Wiyjout a keyboard in KDE, I can't enter the root password needed to get into YaST to reconfigure the firewall. This prevents me from getting VNC access back. Is there a way of disabling the firewall without a keyboard, or from he kernel login in which my keyboard stll works? --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
