I found the GUI app to set this and tried using it. The results were
not satisfactory. I gave up on XDMCP for now and I am using ssh with X
redirection which is working. Below is a summary of the XDMCP results.
There are three settings for remote sessions -
1. Remote login disabled - this is what it was set to. I don't know why
it was set to that during the upgrade. Is that something that should be
reported as a bug? If so to where?
2. Same as local - this is the setting that matches the behavior that I
used to have. When you connect via XDMCP you are supposed to see the
same login screen as if you were sitting at the machine. When I try to
connect using cygwin X it crashes and restarts the X server immediately.
3. Plain with face browser - this setting presents a simplified login
screen. At first this setting didn't allow any connections either. I
then bumped up the connection values in the Configure XDMCP dialog box.
This then allowed one out of the four other machines to on the LAN to
connect via XDMCP.

I recently upgraded my Ubuntu system from 6.10 to 8.04. Before the
upgrade I was able to log in to X windows both locally and from my
Windows box using Cygwin. Now I am able to log in locally but the
system doesn't seem to be answering to X windows queries (either
broadcast or -query hostname). Any pointers on how I can debug this?
On a separate issue. I have dosemu installed and on the Windows box I
installed a font called vgah. To use dosemu locally on the machine
(until I can get the XDCMP problem solved) I need to install this font
on the Ubuntu machine. Anyone have clear pointers on how to install
this font on Ubuntu? Will installing this font also make it available
to someone who ssh's into the machine?
Thanks,
