Description of problem: I am unable to host remote sessions using XDMCP using FC5. I've enabled remote access via gdmsetup. Is there something missing in the /etc/gdm/custom.conf file or do we have a basic tool bug? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Set up XDMCP on FC5 machine using GDM setup. Restart machine - (just to ensure changes take effect) on client hit F10, and select FC5 machine from the chooser. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up XDMCP on FC5 machine using GDM setup. 2. Restart machine - (just to ensure changes take effect) 3. on client hit F10, and select FC5 machine from the chooser. Actual results: After selecting FC5 the screen flickers a few times and it goes back to the client log in screen. Attempts to connect to the FC5 machine through Xnest also show this problem. The Xnest windows flickers as if it starts to make a connection but then resets. Expected results: An FC5 login screen. Additional info:
Fedora/Redhat Team: Please close this issue against Xorg. The problem is with SELinux. When enforcement is set, it blocks the Xserver from displaying and proceeding with an XDMCP session. Sorry for the inconvenience. Regards, Peter
Developers: Sorry, I need to reopen this issue. I am still not able to get XDMCP to serve a remote desktop session. Scenerio: Client: FC4, FC3 Server: FC5 Scenerio 1 Server: setup via GDM setup. Server: SELinux disabled. Clients: at login screen. Hit F10 and select Server Outcome: Client locks up. I need to reboot the client to reset it. Scenerio 2 Server: as above Client: run Xnest:1 -geom 1024x768 -query server Outcome: session shows part of a log-in screen. Please investigate this. This unfortunate glitch is preventing a number of us from migrating to FC5 from FC4. My sincere thanks!!! Peter Meyer
Further testing. I re-built the FC5 image and can now serve back to an FC4 client. FC3 does not work, either for Xnest or by using the root login window. Peter
This is a technical support problem, not a bug. Please use the Fedora and/or X.Org mailing lists for these type of problems.
