[Bug 150193] Re: Remote Login via XDMCP is not working in Ubuntu Gusty/7.10
I have updated to Ubuntu 8.04 in the hope, that this problem is fixed in the new release, but the problem still exists: I cannot connect to another machine in my local LAN, both now running ubuntu 8.04. I will get only a black screen and it doesn't work. The discussions about the bug are a little bit confusing. Has the reason for the bug been found? Changing the session manager to KDM is not really helpful, because some essential functions of the ubuntu gnome desktop doesn't work with kdm (e.g. switching the user). When will the bug be fixed?

[Bug 150193] Re: Remote Login via XDMCP is not working in Ubuntu Gusty/7.10
I installed the patch on my server to update GDM (http://exportdriver.com/gdm_2.20.1-0ubuntu2_i386.deb) after having already enabled XDMCP and the Remote Greeter. I then installed xnest on both server and client and rebooted both machines. I can connect using sudo X :1 -query xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx but still cannot connect from the login screen. I'm not sure if I've missed something but I hope the fact of installing xnest on both machines helps someone else get this far as I've not seen that mentioned yet (I couldn't get anything working with xnest being installed first). Also out of interest, when I run dpkg -l gdm after installing the patch it gives me the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/www$ dpkg -l gdm Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-f/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/t-aWait/T-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name VersionDescription +++-==-==- ii gdm2.20.1-0ubuntu GNOME Display Manager -- Remote Login via XDMCP is not working in Ubuntu Gusty/7.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150193 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 150193] Re: Remote Login via XDMCP is not working in Ubuntu Gusty/7.10
Just to confirm that setting remote login to plain in gdm made LTSP 4.x works in Gutsy. Also this issue needs to be given a higher priority. A case study : I have had cases where LTSP5 doesn't work because the workstations are of lower spec. LTSP 4.x works just fine in these cases. But with this problem, I can't deploy Gutsy as its server (nor Hardy it seems for now) I can workaround it, indeed, but this has been confirmed to work only on plain Gutsy installation (eg: no updates installed yet). I don't know yet whether it will continue to work after you updated it. Another thing, it seems that gdm 2.20.2 will bring this issue back. RedHat has managed to fix it on their gdm 2.20.1 package, but the problem returned when they released gdm 2.20.2 Please be careful not to repeat their mistake.

[Bug 150193] Re: Remote Login via XDMCP is not working in Ubuntu Gusty/7.10
Follow up. The weird part. So I reinstalled my old machine with gutsy (7.10) and I could connect from my new machine gutsy with terminal server and xnest in XDMCP mode.. I put the old machine in a closet ;) and connect to it and it work, do some things and poof. It's gone. Can't connect to it anymore with XDMCP. It does work with ssh -X -Y and I can run some graphical apps with this. So I search the web, try those two patch (32bit and 64bit) and try it again. Does not work again. I switch to the simple mode type on the remote machine and it works. Just like that. Can some confirm that this is actually happening? Simple mode works and same has local does not work?

[Bug 150193] Re: Remote Login via XDMCP is not working in Ubuntu Gusty/7.10
Hello all, at first dpkg-buildpackage would return an error but upon inspecting messages I concluded that it was possible a permission problem and gave up -rfakeroot and run it with sudo: $ sudo dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc It took almost half-an-hour in my old 400MHz AMD but at the end I had my deb package. I used gdebi which advised that the package was the same version as the most current one and offered to reinstall it. I accepted and it was reinstalled. After installation the upgrade available icon appeared and the in upgrade manager offered to update the same package which I decided not to. After restarting the computer I tried to make the xdmcp connection and it worked :-). However, the desktop was set to a 1400 x 1050 instead of my usual 1024 x 768. In fact, only when I accidentally brought the pointer to the top edge and noticed the backgrounf scrolling down I realized what was going on. I then scrolled the program bar into view and corrected the resolution. In all, it seems to be working fine. I'm uploading the package to one of my websites so all can have it: exportdriver.com/gdm-patched.tar.gz. Thanks to all that helped me with this.

Greetings Gentlemen. What you want to do is get the source (apt-get source gdm), then apply the patch, and then rebuild the package. I don't remember the exact commands off hand for the latter two. You then install the package. The thing to take away from all of this is that patches are almost always applied to source code.

I think he has the wrong thread too. Here is what you want to do. Let us assume the patch gdm-2.20.1-svnfixes.patch has been downloaded into the current directory. apt-get source gdm (this gets the source code to gdm and unpacks in current dir) sudo apt-get build-dep gdm (this gets anything else needed to compile the above package) cd gdm-2.20.0 patch -p1 ../gdm-2.20.1-svnfixes.patch dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b cd ../ You should now have the newly compiled gdm package in the directory where you started. Install as you normally would. Note that the patch is for 2.20.1, but the source in the repo appears to be for 2.20.0. The patch applies without worry, but I have not tested xdmcp since I don't have another machine available to connect to right now.

[Bug 150193] Re: Remote Login via XDMCP is not working in Ubuntu Gusty/7.10
Hi Jose Armando, make sure both machine have xnest (and openssh server) installed, and that you activated the XDMCP distant login on both. Make sure that the -geometry option is small enough to fit into your remote machine resolution (so, try 800x600). I also have a Dapper and a Gutsy and I managed to connect this way in both ways (A to B and B to A). Display :0 is the default display, used by the user logged locally on the target machine. You may try to connect to display :1, :2 or :3 whenever you get a /tmp/.Xn-lock error which simply means that display is already in use. In fact, when you log out abruptly, the machine doesn't automatically free up the display you were using. Answering to wormkid, I tried and successfully logout and login again no problem, so I don't know whay you're having this problem. You may try to close the Xnest window instead and reconnect using a different display, say :3 instead of :1. When you have used the 3 extra displays, you have to reboot the target machine in order for the /tmp to be cleaned up and have the 3 displays available again. brunus -- Remote Login via XDMCP is not working in Ubuntu Gusty/7.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150193 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 150193] Re: Remote Login via XDMCP is not working in Ubuntu Gusty/7.10
@Benítez Esquivel: In my case Xnest :1 -query 127.0.0.1 wasn't work locally on my machine, restarting gdm has changed nothing. Then I do the (so i believe) most importend step, i use the command sudo gdmflexiserver --command=UPDATE_CONFIG and restart gdm via sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart from the textconsole. After that, Xnest works ! But unfortunately it works only on my own machine locally. Now I've tried DisallowTCP=false, because it was set true before - thanks to Benìtez Esquivel - after updating and restarting gdm i could see the gdm-login-screen from my xming-windowsxp client - BUT after logging in nothing happens - no desktop appears, only an empty brown window. Thinking on my problems with XFCE and XDMCP on my old Feisty-Server i'd remember, that there was problems with the ESD-Enlightenment Sound Deamon, wich can transport Audio from the server to the client, but Cygwin/xming doesn't support this. On Windows there is no ESD at default. So I turn all Audiosettings to ALSA instead automatic. Then i do the update-command and restarts gdm like obove - and voila - i can login and work with xming ! Very strange, so i think - something went totally wrong with this gdm- thing...why this doesn't work automatically? In my oppinion this is a bug in the init.d-script: it does not update the settings for gdm before gdm (re)starts.

I'm connecting to a Gutsy remote from a Debian Sid gdm client. It kept crashing, like everyone mentioned above, but I followed Steve's advice to setting the remote greeter to 'plain with facebrowser' instead of 'same as local' and followed Israel's advice to change DisallowTCP=false in the gdm.conf file, and everything works now. I tried just changing DisallowTCP=false, but that didn't solve anything. I don't know if it really did anything at all (I was too lazy to change it back), and it was probably Steve's solution that fixed it.
