Description of problem: With vnc-ltsp-config installed and configured according to the instructions, vnc connection to the terminal server gets a blank window for any of the configured ports (5900 - 5905) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): vnc-ltsp-config-4.0-5.fc10 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install vnc-ltsp-config 2. chkconfig vncts on 3. configure /etc/gdm/custom.conf /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess 4. restart gdm 5. start remote vnc connection to one of the configured ports Actual results: vncviewer shows a blank window. Logs show Xvnc started by xinted but ps shows no additional gdm processes being started. Expected results: a gdm login screen should display in the vncviewer window Additional info: A configuration like this worked up to Fedora 8 but I haven't been able to get it working with Fedora 9 or 10. I tried with xorg-x11-xfs installed and xfs running which was needed with Fedora 7 or 8. I also tried with xfs turned off. I have this in /etc/gdm/custom.conf: [xdmcp] Enable=true I tried with localhost in /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess and also with * (any host can connect) but no luck with either. Since Fedora 8 is now EOL, I need to upgrade our vnc terminal servers to 9 or 10 as soon as possible. Thanks -- Ian
Your symptom usually means xdmcp isn't working. I'm unfamiliar with gdm (kde/kdm user myself), but I can vouche that it works with kdm.
(In reply to comment #1) > Your symptom usually means xdmcp isn't working. That's true. netstat -l confirms nothing listening on the xdmcp port (177). > I'm unfamiliar with gdm (kde/kdm user myself), but I can vouche that it works > with kdm. Ok. I'll try with kdm. Since gdm is the default display manager, it should work so I'll post a bug against gdm also. Thanks for the quick reply.
Fixed in gdm-2.24.1-4.fc10 from updates-testing.
