Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 473887
gdm cannot be used as a simple XDMCP server
Last modified: 2012-08-16 17:43:25 EDT
Created attachment 325201 [details] Fixes the XDMCP server (see report text) Description of problem: a) XDMCP does not work b) No way to disable local X terminal Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdm-2.24.0-12.fc10 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: a1. Update /etc/gdm/gdm.schemas to allow XDMCP a2. Restart gdm a3. Attempt an XDMCP request --> nothing appends b1. Start F10 on a server without graphics terminal b2. Enter init level 5 --> gdm exits because scheduler X server keeps stopping. Additional info: Currently, there is no flag to disable local X terminal in gdm: i.e.: the --no-console option is not recognized anymore. There is a patch for problem a) (XDMCP) at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug_cgi?id=561396. I attach it here for convenience. I created patch "noconsole" to add configuration parameter "daemon/NoConsole" in /etc/gdm/gdm.schemas. This Boolean flag controls the starting of a local X terminal, allowing to avoid problem b). Please find this patch attached within current report.
Created attachment 325202 [details] Define the daemon/NoConsole Boolean parameter (see report text)
Created attachment 327642 [details] deamon/NoConsole patch: fixed version There was a small bug in the previous patch version: xdmcp/Enable was used to control local session instead of daemon/NoConsole
Hey Patrick, would you mind filing this patch upstream?

This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '10'. 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 10'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 10 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
Reassigning to F12: feature has not yet been made available.
