Hi Forum,
Please give me a hint where to post this question if it is not SAP-spesific for this forum.
I have an Azure server With SUSE Linux SLES 11 SP4, for SAP Solution Manager on SAP HANA.
I am not able to Connect to the server With xrdp any longer, probably because I installed vncserver, which interfers With the interaction of xrdp and tightvnc. I am far from experienced in SUSE, so I hope you will bear over With the mistakes I’ve made, and help me get xrdp to work again.
Originally xrdp and vnc was installed like this:
sudo /usr/bin/zypper install thightvnc
Refreshing service ‘cloud_update’.
Loading repository data…
Reading installed packages…
‘vnc’ not found in package names. Trying capabilities.
Resolving package dependencies…
The following NEW package is going to be installed:
tightvnc
1 new package to install.
Overall download size: 222.0 KiB. After the operation, additional 587.0 KiB
will be used.

Had to add an endpoint in Azure portal on port 3389. Tried to connect to the port sapssb5681.cloudapp.net:3389 from rdp client and logged in as sapadm.
Since we are having some issues with the TWM window manager, we install gnome-session with the following command:
sudo /usr/bin/zypper install gnome-session

Then I attempted to install vncserver (thought it would be wise to have it in Place in case SAP Support needed to Connect). Unfortunately, I did it like this:
Downloaded https://www.realvnc.com/download/vnc/linux/VNC-5.3.2-Linux-x64-ANY.tar.gz and copied to /tmp.
As user root (sudo su  root) unpacked the file to /tmp:
gunzip VNC-5.3.2-Linux-x64-ANY.tar.gz
tar xvf VNC-5.3.2-Linux-x64-ANY.tar
Installed VNC Server:
./vncinstall
…
Installed init script for VNC Server in Service Mode daemon
Start and stop the service with:
/etc/init.d/vncserver-x11-serviced (start|stop)
Use chkconfig to start or stop the service at boot time.
Installed init script for VNC Server in Virtual Mode daemon
Start and stop the service with:
/etc/init.d/vncserver-virtuald (start|stop)
Use chkconfig to start or stop the service at boot time.
Set VNC Server to start at server start:
sapssb:/tmp/VNC-5.3.2-Linux-x64 # chkconfig vncserver-virtuald
vncserver-virtuald off
sapssb:/tmp/VNC-5.3.2-Linux-x64 # chkconfig vncserver-virtuald on
insserv: Service network is missed in the runlevels 4 to use service omid
insserv: Service syslog is missed in the runlevels 4 to use service vncserver-virtuald
sapssb:/tmp/VNC-5.3.2-Linux-x64 # chkconfig vncserver-virtuald
vncserver-virtuald on
I have not been able to uninstall this Component. I have tried the ubuntu way (http://askubuntu.com/questions/653321/how-to-uninstall-real-vnc-in-ubuntu-14-04), but it did not work to install deb and use dpkg to uninstall. I cannot use rpm either.
I have tried turning vncserver off and reboot server:
chkconfig vncserver-virtuald off
But unfortunately, this is not enough to get xrdp to start working again.
Error when logging on to xrdp (manual transcription):
Connection Log
connecting to sesman ip 127.0.0.1 port 3350
sesman Connect ok

xrdp_mm_process_login_response: login successful for displa(…)

Kind regards,
