We made it to SLES11 and at point of patching
Have hit an issue in that script uses YaST2
Perhaps an export DISPLAY issue
Tried issuing 'export DISPLAY=myhostname:0.0' and 'echo $DISPLAY' to see
it took
But when I issue YaST2 get the message below:
Cannot open display
Anyone else hit this issue
No, but I used VNC instead.

Sounds good. Should be fine.
Only have PuTTY for access
PuTTY can do the X tunneling.
(X tunneling is a special case of tunneling via SSH, supported by most
SSH clients, including PuTTY.)

Taking a step back ... I've been thinking just about trying to get X
working (since YaST2 will need that). There are other ways to get the
maint finished.
Marcy mentioned VNC. Do you know if a VNC server was started
I'm curious, why do you NEED X to do maint? I do all our manual maintenance in
Yast2 via Putty. There are a few things you can't do in non-graphical (like
mark a patch taboo), but otherwise it's almost all there.
Also, You really might want to try VNC. If you don't have a vnc client, or know

In this case the upgrade process script is calling YaST2
/sbin/yast is simply a symbolic link to /sbin/yast2. /sbin/yast2 is a bash

Make sue you started an X server on you PC and make sure X11forwarding is
enabled prior to logging in.
