Environment

Situation
After enabling VNC during install, after reboot trying to access the server via VNC yields the following message:
failed to connect to server
failed to connect to server
Resolution
This is typically caused by the vnc server not starting, which is controlled by xinetd (which isn't enabled). To enable xinetd:
- Launch YaST
- select Network Services
- select Network Services (xinetd)
- insure that the service is "enable"
