Public bug reported: I've enabled XDMCP in GDM, and created an xinetd service for VNC via XDMCP.
Any time I try to connect via VNC, gdm crashes, taking down the local display as well. After that, gdm won't start again until I kill the "orphaned" local display. It looks like the fix is a single-line change: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=757714 ProblemType: Crash DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.10 Package: gdm 3.16.2-0ubuntu2 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-040400rc4-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.19.1-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 CrashCounter: 1 Date: Fri Dec 11 15:24:52 2015 ExecutablePath: /usr/sbin/gdm InstallationDate: Installed on 2011-07-12 (1613 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Server 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release amd64 (20110426) ProcCmdline: /usr/sbin/gdm ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 PATH=(custom, no user) Signal: 5 SourcePackage: gdm StacktraceTop: g_type_create_instance (type=14342800) at /build/glib2.0-ajuDY6/glib2.0-2.46.1/./gobject/gtype.c:1816 g_object_constructor (type=<optimized out>, n_construct_properties=13, construct_params=0xdadb90) at /build/glib2.0-ajuDY6/glib2.0-2.46.1/./gobject/gobject.c:2064 () g_object_new_internal (n_params=6, params=0x7fff444e5fd0, class=0xdaa6a0) at /build/glib2.0-ajuDY6/glib2.0-2.46.1/./gobject/gobject.c:1697 g_object_new_internal (class=class@entry=0xdaa6a0, params=params@entry=0x7fff444e5fd0, n_params=n_params@entry=6) at /build/glib2.0-ajuDY6/glib2.0-2.46.1/./gobject/gobject.c:1777 Title: gdm crashed with signal 5 in g_type_create_instance() UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to wily on 2015-11-07 (34 days ago) UserGroups: pulse-access mtime.conffile..etc.gdm.custom.conf: 2015-12-11T15:11:59.227422 ** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-crash third-party-packages wily ** Information type changed from Private to Public -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1525435 Title: Connecting to GDM via XDMCP crashes it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/1525435/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
