OpenSUSE 11.3 VNC Server Screen Keeps Black

2010-07-17

I tried to enabled the default VNC server in openSUSE via YaST - Network Services - Remote Administration (VNC), but whenever I connected to the host via the OS X VNC Client JollyFastVNC, all I got was a black screen.

I double checked firewall and VNC server settings but everything seemed to be configured correctly. After some time of searching I read in a Linux user forum that it may help to delete an ipv6 hosts entry, and indeed, since I commented out

::1       localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback

in /etc/hosts everything works just fine.
