Well yeah, XDMCP doesn't carry sound. My progress so far has been
losing sound altogether, but got it back on. Both boxes have
pulseaudio but the local one only sometimes sees the remote one. I'm
still fiddling with it + ALSA.

Stay tuned.

Maybe you should be using LTSP.  It will pxe boot pretty much anything,
and then do a remote GUI session to your server -- sound included.

I don't want PXE, but rather two sessions (one local one remote), but
i'll look into it, thanks.

If not, your pulseaudio challenge probably warrants its 
own thread and I'm blank there. ;o)

 Thanks for the heads up.

XDMCP mess

2010-11-07 Thread Nuno Magalhães
Greetings,

I've been trying to set up an XDMCP connection for a few days in my
LAN, to no avail. My current setup is:
- one desktop running two xservers, one managed by slim, the other by
xdm. I was able to connect to this xdm from one of the winVMs using
Xming.
- one laptop running one xserver manage by gdm, from where i'm trying
to connect to the desktop,

I've added magic cookies with xauth, fiddled with xdm's Xservers,
wondered why gdm's conf is not under /etc/X11 and fiddled with it as
well, added :x lines to files, uncomented, read howtos that are not as
detailed as i'd like (and mostly assume remote linux local windows),
etc. My conf files are a mess.

There's also chooser, but the laptop's gdm doesn't find anything on
the LAN. I don't need two xservers on the desktop, but it should allow
local and remote inbound connections. Same for the laptop, outbound. I
don't care which DM i use. I've briefly tried Xnest but couldn't even
get it to start.

Does anyone have some nice detailed RTFM suggestions and/or tips?

TIA,
Nuno

XDMCP works well with UDP and there's no reason to use TCP, SSH can
tunnel UDP. The only nolisten's i use are for TCP.
