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?
