This GDM 2.2 bug affects Ubuntu Gutsy, NetBSD and FreeBSD as well -- it's not just a Fedora 8 issue. See these URLs for further information: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/150193 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=495623 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=494817 This might be the fix: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=98752&action=view I can build the patch if you'd like to test it. I would be pleased to try it out. gdm-2.20.1-7.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update gdm' That has indeed solved the problem. I now have a working remote terminal again. Thank you ever so much for the fix! I truly appreciate your assistance with this matter. Thanks for doing the detective work to track down the fix. gdm-2.20.1-7.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. I've tried out the new version, but the issue is still valid. (In reply to comment #9) > I've tried out the new version, but the issue is still valid. > Sorry, themes to be gone... gdm-2.20.2-2.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update gdm' gdm-2.20.2-2.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. just tried it with two f8 installs (desktop & laptop), still does not work gdm-2.20.2-2.fc8 has re-created the problem that I initially filed this bug report about. After setting up gdm to allow remote logins, no remote login is possible as gdm never appears on the remote terminal. All I get is a gray screen with an X in the middle. Reverting to gdm-2.20.1-7.fc8 and rebooting (as gdm-restart alone didn't work) solved the problem and I can again log into my terminal. SUMMARY: gdm-2.20.1-5.fc8 - doesn't work. No remote login is possible. gdm-2.20.1-7.fc8 - works. Remote logins are possible. gdm-2.20.2-2.fc8 - doesn't work. No remote login is possible. I am having problems with this aswell (gdm-2.20.2-2.fc8) this bug only appears when selinux is in enforcing mode, when I set selinux to disabled, I can do remote connections. rpm -qi gdm = gdm-2.20.2-2.fc8.src.rpm - kernel 2.6.23.14-115.fc8 had same problem .. workaround DON'T have a greeter with faces or usernames displayed. (we have too many so it segfaults) GraphicalTheme=circles GraphicalThemes=happygnome work for us.... The above occurred on LOCAL gdm login and was fixed by the above.. The same occurs on remote xdmcp login but.. after doing all the other standard networking and turn off firewall stuff, I CAN get a login display and login BUT gdm/gnome hangs after that email pete @ cosc DOT canterbury DOT ac DOT nz if you want any messages.. Can't seem to find messages that are relevant(but maybe looking in wrong place) This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdm-2.20.1-5.fc8 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up gdm to allow remote logins. Firewall is disabled, /etc/hosts.deny has been deleted. 2. From a remote computer, do: X :1 -query 192.168.0.2 Where the IP address is the address of the computer set up to allow remote logins. 3. all you see is the infamous gray screen with an X in the middle. Actual results: Gray screen with an X in the middle Expected results: GDM login screen Additional info: I have attached my gdm "custom.conf" file. This is what I see on the console of the remote computer that I'm trying to log in from: X Window System Version 1.3.0 Release Date: 19 April 2007 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 1.3 Build Operating System: Fedora Core 7 Red Hat, Inc.
