I had this work, once, using pepper's instructions. Then I restarted my XMing session to switch from Window to Fullscreen, and never got it working again (without changing anything, going through all the restart/reboot/etc hoops).
So I did a clean install on a virtual machine, with Lucid 10.4 rc, repeated pepper's steps, got the chooser to come up, closed down the x server, restarted, and same thing. So I rolled the virtual machine back, repeated pepper's steps, and it worked. Closed the x server, restarted, same thing. I don't know why it works that first time - but the problem appears to be that GDM is only listening on the udpv6 port: netstat -an | grep 177 osm...@lucidrc:~$ netstat -an | grep 177 udp6 0 0 :::177 :::* -- No option to log in remotely via XDMCP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/408417 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
