I'd like to see this one fixed for F8 release, since using domain 0's login screen and/or gdmflexiserver is a nice way to connect to a Xen-hosted X-based guest without the mouse-pointer sync issue and display lag associated with VNC. Also, I use XDMCP to access other physical machines on my nework, and I want to upgrade/reinstall my workstation to F8. Hi, we probably won't be able to look at this before the F8 release, unfortunately. We should investigate and fix it in an F8 Update, though. That's cool. If there's anything I can do to help track it down, let me know. I've just been bitten by this bug too when trying to connect with xdmcp from a Fedora 8 machine (x86_64) to another physical host on the network. The other machine (running NetBSD and XFree86's 4.5 xdm server) gets this in its xdm.log file: Warning: Cannot convert string "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--18-180-75-75-p-98-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct Warning: Cannot convert string "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--18-180-75-75-p-103-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct Warning: Cannot convert string "-adobe-helvetica-bold-o-normal--24-240-75-75-p-138-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct xdm error (pid 4603): fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) The remote greeter screen is visible for a very brief moment before gdm crashes and returns to whatever was there before (an already started local X11 session in my case). Hi guys, A number of xdmcp related fixes are in the gdm in -updates-testing. Would you guys mind trying it out? I can confirm that the problem disappears after updating gdm to 'gdm-2.20.2-1.fc8' from updates-testing. gdm no longer crashes when showing a remote, xdmcp initiated greeter. Thank you for the pointer to the updated version. thanks for the confirmation, i've requested the package be pushed to -updates The update fixes the problem for me too, but I did notice a small glitch that might be part of the update. After updating, I launch "gdmflexiserver -l", press F10, then select 'Remote Login via XDMCP'. I then see a popup error: Cannot run chooser The chooser version (2.20.2) does not match the daemon version (2.20.1). You have probably upgraded GDM. Please restart the GDM daemon or the computer. I was logged in to X as a normal user and ran the yum update on the testing repo from a root VT (while still logged in to X as the normal user). Logging out of X and back in again fixed it. Perhaps the gdm package needs to restart the GDM daemon when it's updated/installed? So it can't actually restart the daemon, because that would kill your running session. Good point. You know, that did actually occur to me after I posted, as I remembered that gdm stands for Gnome Display Manager. :o) |
