Package: gdm
Version: 2.20.7-1
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
gdm seems to crash when I put a Xwilling script in my /etc/gdm/
directory (or alternatively when I tell it to execute a script
elsewhere with my gdm.conf.) When an XDMCP query hits the server, I
see this line in /var/log/syslog, which indicates a crash:
Aug 19 23:31:59 beazley gdm[13615]: WARNING: main daemon: Got SIGABRT.
Something went very wrong. Going down!
The server shows up on an xdmcp chooser on the first query (which
crashes it), but the latter queries show up with nothing. gdm prints
the crash message once, but the gdm process goes on, not honoring the
further XDMCP queries.
My setup is running the xmdcp enabled gdm on a vserver, so I can no
longer login to this machine over gdm with this setup. I have
reproduced the bug on a friend's laptop as well, the result is the
same as above, gdm stops honoring XDMCP queries, but it keeps running
and does not completely crash, and it still lets local logins.
And another funny thing. When I enable debug in my gdm.conf, I DON'T
see the crash message, but regular lines which don't indicate the
crash has happened. But the result is the same. Here are the lines:
Aug 20 15:57:00 beazley gdm[12087]: DEBUG: mainloop_sig_callback: Got
signal 17
Aug 20 15:57:00 beazley gdm[12087]: DEBUG: decode_packet: GIOCondition 1

Aug 20 15:57:02 beazley gdm[12087]: DEBUG: XDMCP: Sending WILLING to
192.168.199.70
Note that no further messages can be seen for gdm in syslog after
this. For example, `/etc/init.d/gsm stop` command will produce no
output in syslog (which it would if there was no crash.)
Workaround:
===========
My workaround is disabling Xwilling messages for now, by removing them
from /etc/gdm directory and disabling the lines in gdm.conf.
Files & Outputs:
================
Here is my gdm.conf, without debug:

######gdm.conf ends######
Here are the innards of my /etc/gdm/Xwilling script:
