Running unstable. Trying to get XDMCP working via KDM. On the local host,
everything works. KDM gives me a graphical login prompt, and KDE loads when
I log in. From a remote machine, however, I get what appears to be a pure X
session with no Windows manager running. I get the hollow X cursor, and am
able to move it with the mouse. However, neither left nor right clicks do
any thing - no menu or anything. Clicking and dragging doesn't generate a
dotted outline selection. No key presses appear to do anything. Not sure
where to go from here. Hints and suggestions welcome.
Checkout /etc/kde3/kdem/Xaccess to see what sorts of xdmcp access you
are allowing. At the least you want to offer:
* #any host can get a login window
You may also want to allow:
* CHOOSER BROADCAST #any indirect host can get a chooser
Also you need to enable xdmcp in kdmrc:
# Whether KDM should listen to incoming XDMCP requests.
# Default is true
Enable=true
Restart kdm at this point.
Make sure you backup kdmrc before making any changes so you can rollback
if you break it.
One more thing: There is a reported but unfixded bug in kdm in
Debian/Ubuntu going back a long way which is causing some xdmcp
configurations to fail when they really are ok. If you look in your logs
you'll see reports of kdm_greet getting memory corruption if you are
getting this problem. As a result of this problem I recently migrated a
bunch of thin client servers to use gdm instead of kdm.
Cheers,
Rob
