This morning, I went through this on a fresh upgrade to 8.04 LTS. In /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc, commenting out "ServerArgsLocal=-nolisten tcp" was not sufficient. The associated comment line is incorrect. The Default value was "-nolisten tcp" not "", so the empty value must be explicit. I commented out the line and replaced it with "ServerArgsLocal=" to make X11 listen for TCP connections.
In /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc, I replaced "exec /usr/bin/X11/X -dpi 100 -nolisten tcp" with "exec /usr/bin/X11/X -dpi 100". I believe this is required, but I've not tested it. Logging out is not sufficient to restart KDE, nor is restarting X11. Reboot the OS, or [if you're a bit more savvy and want to save a minute] you can log out and restart KDE3 manually. For the Novices: Don't forget to use the xhost command and set your DISPLAY arguments. -- Can't get rid of nolisten tcp in kdmrc https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/242502 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
