Package: gdm
Version: 2.6.0.6-1
Severity: normal
I'm not clear on why this is happening (no clues in logs), but
when the local X server keeps crashing (e.g. on a machine in a
locked room that no-one ever visits and will therefore not see
the helpful error message on the console), gdm not only disables
the starting of a session on the console, but also disables xdmcp
clients. From tethereal:
0.000000 192.168.0.3 -> 192.168.0.255 XDMCP Broadcast_query
2.009999 192.168.0.3 -> 192.168.0.255 XDMCP Broadcast_query
3.535551 192.168.0.3 -> 192.168.0.1 XDMCP Query
4.009875 192.168.0.3 -> 192.168.0.255 XDMCP Broadcast_query
4.009898 192.168.0.3 -> 192.168.0.1 XDMCP Query
The reason for the failure to respond to queries is not logged.
Commenting out "0=Standard" in the [servers] section of gdm.conf
and restarting gdm immediately resolves the problem:
382.061415 192.168.0.3 -> 192.168.0.1 XDMCP Query
382.128748 192.168.0.1 -> 192.168.0.3 XDMCP Willing
386.264859 192.168.0.3 -> 192.168.0.1 XDMCP Query
386.265170 192.168.0.1 -> 192.168.0.3 XDMCP Willing
389.029627 192.168.0.3 -> 192.168.0.1 XDMCP Request
389.030300 192.168.0.1 -> 192.168.0.3 XDMCP Accept
389.030464 192.168.0.3 -> 192.168.0.1 XDMCP Manage
XDMCP should work independently of the local X server.

Version: 2.20.11-4+rm
gdm was last released with Debian 6.0 (squeeze) in
February 2011 and removed from Debian sid/unstable in 2011 (see
http://bugs.debian.org/613491 for details on the removal). Since
support for squeeze and squeeze-LTS has now ended, I'm closing all the
remaining bugs reported against this package.
