This required updating vnc.py to work better with NetworkManager. We were assuming that the first Network object in the netdevices was our active device, which may or may not be true. Commit ID is 06ac083681b7ef8d32a93da650ec35257753ccc6. This will be in the next build of anaconda or the one after that. Attaching the patch for your reading pleasure.

A stupid question without actually looking at the latest images.
> connect your vnc client to ibm-505-lp1.test.redhat.com:1
Is this ":1" really correct? The last time I looked a vnc server was running on a port 5901 and not 1 as the above would suggest. Or this 5900 offset is added automatically by a client? Every vnc client?
That's a $DISPLAY number, not a port number. > That's a $DISPLAY number, not a port number. I would have a hard time to guess that and why I would really care? OTOH when connecting with a vnc client an information which port to use could be rather vital. See, for example, http://bobpeers.com/linux/vnc.php at the very bottom of that page. What is shown by anconda is _really_ confusing. |
