Hi Install RH6.0, choose to "launch X by default" during the install. When you boot the new system, GNOME pops up with a login dialog. So far so good. Now switch to a virtual console and type startx -- -query 127.0.0.1 :1 This command starts X but FAILS to get to a login screen! This is quite serious :-) Note, if I change /etc/X11/prefdm so it points to "xdm", the above command works fine. Another note: when using gdm, traffic sent to the XDMCP port queues up and is never read. The port should either be fixed, or disabled- if it isn't used it's a security concern :-)
The workaround for now is to enable debugging by changing Enable=0 to Enable=1 in the [debug] section of /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf. This is most certainly a workaround and not a bugfix... The workaround does not fix the fact that it listens when not configured to do xdmcp. ------- Additional Comments From 08/24/99 10:31 ------- A little extra info: GDM will respond to XDMCP requests when they are DIRECT or QUERY requests (sent to the specified host). It fails when the requests are of type BROADCAST.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 2614 *** ------- Additional Comments From 10/20/99 17:24 ------- Contrary to the orginal comments from Redhat, my workstation is not responding to 'DIRECT or QUERY requests'. I just picked up 6.1 last night hoping that this (and other problems) were resolved and it is not. I have not tried the listed workaround. -Bob
