ghook's method work's erratically with lucid I followed his instructions (it sounds more like the actual feature than a workaround) by adding these lines to /etc/gdm/custom.conf [daemon] RemoteGreeter=/usr/lib/gdm/gdmlogin
[xdmcp] Enable=true Sure enough, I can connect to the server with Xming and the window with gdm pops up Xming.exe -query 192.168.1.101 After repeated testing, I believe that both GNOME sessions and Failsafe GNOME sessions seem to worked erratically. When it doesn't work, after you enter your password and hit enter it freezes up. Alternating between those two types of sessions seems to help. Please note that I had a neatx NX session going, and I have LTSP installed with no LTSP clients going. In my auth.log I have a bunch of lines like these (my username is mike and I hadn't been doing any other types of logins): May 1 22:10:53 minilove gdm-session-worker[9697]: pam_unix(gdm:session): session opened for user mike by (uid=0) May 1 22:10:53 minilove gdm-session-worker[9697]: pam_ck_connector(gdm:session): nox11 mode, ignoring PAM_TTY ::ffff:192.168.1.102:0 May 1 22:14:21 minilove gdm-session-worker[9697]: pam_unix(gdm:session): session closed for user mike -- No option to log in remotely via XDMCP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/408417 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
