Description of problem: after upgrading from fc6 to fc7, I'm unable to login from a remote terminal using kdm. initially i thought it was related to bug report 247455 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=247455 but maybe it's not so. since I've updated the kdelibs package (that was suggested in that report) which solved that issue. starting new session locally works when using: KDE menu --> Switch User --> start new session. i can't login with "Xnest :7 -query 127.0.0.1" from within root session. btw. all this was possible before the upgrade to fc7 i'm running "kdm -debug 7" so i can send any helpful log if you think it's necessary Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kde 3.5.7-9 (updated from fc7 testing) How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
i've installed a fresh fc7 and updated it with latest Testing packages. and i still can't login remotely here is wat i get: "Unknown session exit code 0 (sig 11) from manager process"
WORKSFORME, $ rpm -q kdelibs kdebase kdelibs-3.5.7-9.fc7.i386 kdebase-3.5.7-5.fc7.i386 Have you set in /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc: [XDMCP] Enable=True and /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess appropriately? (I simply added 'localhost')
rpm -q kdelibs kdebase kdelibs-3.5.7-9.fc7 kdebase-3.5.7-0.1.fc7 i've set [XDMCP] Enable=True and /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess to * still, just after i press enter (in the password field) the KDM login blinks for a second and it is back again. (doesn't seems to crash!) i do get this message (in /var/log/messages) kdm: "Unknown session exit code 0 (sig 11) from manager process" on the same hardware a fc6 install works fine (when i plug-in in a different HD) i am not sure if this is related but, i have eth0 down, eth1 down and wlan0 up maybe it has some thing to do with the network devices ?
Sure enough, didn't actually try logging in via Xnest. I had *assumed* all was ok once I saw the login screen. my bad.
