  • Can you put any x11 log in the question? Where do you running your SLES? You tried to run startx command? – Angel Porlan Aug 09 '17 at 01:28
  • Hi Angel i am running an instance at google cloud, SLES 11 SP4, when i run the startx command i get the next: bizs:~ # startx No startx installed So i do the next: zypper install -t pattern x11 gnome – Rodolfo Tester Aug 10 '17 at 04:55
  • The system install all the packages (around 1.6 Gb) and do it correctly, so then i do the next: In window manager script vi /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager at line 18 i change DEFAULT_WM="gnome" At display manager script vi /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager at line 7 change DISPLAYMANAGER="gdm" also Change to graphical login vi /etc/inittab at line 20 change to graphical login id:5:initdefault: – Rodolfo Tester Aug 10 '17 at 04:56
  • Then i run startx again and i get this: bizs:~ # startx xauth: creating new authority file /root/.serverauth.17650 xauth: creating new authority file /root/.Xauthority xauth: creating new authority file /root/.Xauthority X.Org X Server 1.6.5 Release Date: 2009-10-11 – Rodolfo Tester Aug 10 '17 at 04:58
