Hi
I installed OEL6 on blade server VM. We are using Citrix for virtualization. Issue is that since the installation is done on the server without any monitor VGA card attached therefore Linux got installed without GUI. Now I need to install Oracle database on this VM. I believe that X Windows is required atleast. I installed X Windows System and Gnome Desktop. Now when I run gdmsetup it does not work. I installed tigervnc on the server and modified iptables for firewall rules also made modifications in config file of gdm but when I try to connect from my Windows XP machine using Tightvncviewer it throws error. "Failed to rcv data from socket". My windows Firewall is disabled. I disabled SELinux and Firewall on the server but that did not help either.
I just need to be able to access the linux VM from my windows machine in GUI mode. I, therefore, request you to help me in setting up.
Note: On server startx command throws this error.
