Hello guys , i have problem with my SLES 11 SP4 , GUI did not start , i was trying to install C++ compiler from novell repositories , i remove versions and installed versions , then restarted server but GUI did not start , when i type start X it is said "no startx installed " , i tried to install it using zypper install xstart but said not found startx in repositories , i think i installed wrong version of Gcc , also i removed firefox … so can anyone help me which correct version i should install ? note that reinstalling OS is not option at this time because it is production server of SAP HANA … so it is should not be down , maybe next thursday at week end i can reinstall it , but if i can fix the problem without side effect why not ? note i still able to access it using SSH Putty , and inst please help and thank you very much ---

Use Yast to install the X windows pattern, or else zypper may work too. Try these: [CODE[ sudo /sbin/yast sw\_single #Change the top drop-down to ‘Pattern’ #Install the X windows, or Gnome, pattern. [/CODE[ All of this assumes you really need X; If you already have HANA working I cannot imagine why that would be overly useful. Also, GCC is not required, and should not be relevant to in other ways, your X Windows install. SUSE does not compile software as it is installed like some distributions like Gentoo, which is why the installation does not take overnight to complete. – Good luck.

I think you mean without any kind of reboot, and I would expect that you can get X workings without rebooting, though you have already tried unsuccessfully. Before we spend a lot of time fixing things that may not matter, what is the purpose of X on your server which already has HANA on it? Most HANA installs are monster systems with 512 GiB of RAM and I’ve seen some with at least 4 TiB RAM. These are not, at least in my experience, systems that need GUIs at all as they are too busy doing real work to care. Back to using X (NOT xinetd) we probably need to figure out why you do not have X windows installed. I would probably try to install the xorg-x11 package, and its dependencies, if not a desktop environment too (Gnome, KDE, or similar) since I presume you are starting out with Linux and will want something other than your working SSH terminal for whatever reason. There are actually patterns, which are groups of packages, available for install directly from Yast or zypper. You did not mention if you tried the Yast-based instructions I posted last time, so I will try the zypper way this time: ```auto sudo zypper install -t pattern gnome ``` In addition to installing the Gnome desktop environment, this should pull in all of the [X.org](http://X.org) dependencies it may have for you automatically. – Good luck.

It is best to deal with them one at a time so as not to confuse matters. ab (Aaron) has been helping you with your other issues. He has a lot of experience so it is better if you continue working with him for now. – Kevin Boyle - Knowledge Partner If you find this post helpful and are logged into the web interface, please show your appreciation and click on the star below this post.

Hi, just for the records: [QUOTE=jordannet;40753]you know this is production server i can use it without GUI , but i need gui to reinstall one of SAP services the previously removed from server and i need gui because installation is only GUI . i able to access it with full functional from SSH [/QUOTE] you do not need to run X11 _on the server_ for this - you could also use some regular workplace machine, running an X server (like using a Linux PC or a Linux VM) and make X11 on that machine accessible via network. Then you could simply set the DISPLAY variable accordingly before running the installer. Even if you need to set up such a PC or VM first, it may be less hassle than messing around with a SAP production server, putting X11 and who knows what else packages on it (you were mentioning the compiler and I see i.e. the SDK repository that seems not to be necessary on a regular SAP server) where you only want to run SAP… and given the right setup, you could even (easily) ssh from that machine to the SAP server and have all X11 traffic routed through that tunnel.
