anaconda.log

Description of problem:

When doing a VNC installation, it appears there is an error while setting the VNC session password.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
 * anaconda-15.20-1

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot installer and initiate a VNC session
2. When prompted provide a password

  
Actual results:

On tty1 ...
16:35:30 The VNC server is now running.
setting param SecurityTypes=VncAuth failed
setting param rfbauth=/tmp/vncpassword failed
16:35:30 

I can connect to the VNC session, without being prompt for a password

Expected results:

Attempts to connect to the VNC session should be greeted with a password prompt

Additional info:
 * See attached logs

Comment 3 Brian Lane 2011-02-17 01:25:21 UTC 
Does it work if you pass vncpassword=asdasd on the kernel command line?
Comment 4 Martin Gracik 2011-02-17 07:37:53 UTC 
This is because new vnc doesn't support changing these settings during runtime. I fixed this for rhel6 already, but forgot to push to master too, I'm sorry, my fault.

Doesn't seem to make a difference
