If you are logging in to the machine via SSH, make sure to enable X Windows forwarding. If you are connecting from a Windows box, you also need to install an X Server for Windows.
If you are logging in through the VMWare console, make sure you are running in runlevel 5 (Graphical user interface), not in runlevel 3 (text-only). In either case, you must have installed some graphical user interface - Gnome, KDE or the like. Plain text mode won't do it (actually, theoretically it should be possible as long as you are running an X server on the client machine you are connecting from, but I don't think most distributions support that setup very well. It is also somewhat insecure). Stevester wrote: > Good Afternoon, > > I am beginning to use Bacula at my company located in Chicago.
