I have just tried to enable remote access on my Suse 12 box
and if I try and remote in The client ( openSuse 13.2 ) stops
at a black screen for a while and then I get a message
A problem has occurred and the system can’t recover
Please log out and try again.

This client works fine when I remote into openSuse 13.2 machines
Is it just a case of using Yast and enabling remote access on the
Suse 12 box ( and clicking open port in firewall ) or have I missed
something.

AppArmor is off BTW

Have you updated the /etc/xinetd.d/vnc configuration file? This can also be updated thru Yast - Network Services → Network Services (xinetd) → xvnc1 also xvnc2…

Yes, that all seems OK - I think it’s trying to start KDM which isn’t on the machine
but I don’t now how to set it to use GDM. Remote into an openSUSE box with KDE
works fine
