Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Unwilling, it is

The lines: [xdmcp] Enable=true ARE in the gdm.conf. >Do you have your client listed in /etc/hosts? Yes. Nothing in the "gray_screen" docs helps this time, to wit: The display manager is listening and running. The SERVER in lts.conf is correct. iptables -L shows no rules with all tables at policy AC

[Ltsp-discuss] Unwilling, it is

2004-10-22 Thread Kenneth Tindle
I have begun to play with LTSP 4.1, but have a problem. I'm getting the dreaded "XDMCP: Manager Unwilling Host Unwilling" deal. In the past, I've been able to solve this, but not this time. I have Red Hat 9, and am (trying) to use gdm. I have no firewall. I do have a line with an asterisk in /etc/X

This was due to Tripp-Lite PowerAlert 6.2. It is unhappy on RH9 and will screw with the unprivileged ports needed for the MIT Magic Cookie stuff needed for remote XDMCP. XDM will fail, once, then work, with this same machine for this same reason. It's actually PowerAlert and RH9 that are fighting.

I had a dead mouse wheel in LTSP. Read the docs at xfree86.org. Logitech needs a mouse protocol of "MouseManPlusPS/2" (!) to get the wheel working. Made this change to lts.conf and had glory. Had a "stuck" video resolution. Read the full installation doc at ltsp.org. I was using the 2.x X_

[Ltsp-discuss] My adventure with gdm

2003-07-04 Thread Kenneth Tindle
I decided to try to get gdm instead of xdm working with LTSP. Not a good idea. If you have Red Hat 9, that is. I dropped, into /etc/sysconfig/desktop: DISPLAYMANAGER=GNOME and restored the original /etc/X11/prefdm line to /etc/inittab. Made sure that the Enable=true line is in /etc/X11/gdm/g

[Ltsp-discuss] Odd X server behavior

2001-09-20 Thread Kenneth Tindle
From the LTSP download page, I have installed: kernel 2.2.18 lts-core 2.08 Mach64 X server 2.0 onto RedHat 7.1. All standard pieces. I made changes to lts.conf that should be very standard and sensible. I have put Etherboot 5.0.3 into a 3com 3c590 card at the workstation. There's an ATI card

Hmmm.. well, I've been fooling around with my custom kernel config, thinking that was the most likely irregularity when: fh_verify: ltsroot/dev permission failure, acc=3, error=30 shows up on the server's tty1 virtual terminal. Well, now I find this little nugget on http://www.geocrawler.com/a

I compiled parallel port support into a monolithic kernel- nope. Next I'll try a modular kernel, but not compile anything as a module. -- Windows: A 32 bit shell for a 16 bit operating system, originally written for an 8 bit data bus processor by a 2 bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competi

I discovered that, using the standard RPMS that ship with RedHat 7.0 and 7.1, that the -s option is not the only difference. The -s option is added to server-args, but the 7.1 version of in.tftpd requires being run as root, not nobody, or it will be launched by the super-server, but will not bind

[Ltsp-discuss] Custom kernel

I've compiled a custom kernel, 2.4.9. I now get, on the server console tty1: fh_verify: [permission problem message] ltsroot/dev acc=3 error=30 and X is halted at the root window, xdm never shows up. I'm using lts-core 2.08. This looks like a capability of the kernel is needed, which I did no
