Public bug reported: The X session labeled "Secure Remote Connection" should, perhaps, be more properly labeled: "Secure startup of /etc/X11/Xsession on remote host"
In fact, that's what the script does is try to run /etc/X11/Xsession remotely. Contacting a remote host that doesn't have that script installed, will signal back to the user, and what the user will see on the gdm client host console may imply the system has mis-installed X. At least when you issue ssh -Y u...@host /etc/X11/Xsession on a command line, the error you get back "/etc/X11/Xsesssion command not found" makes sense in context. Perhaps the best thing to do is to name this session something a little less generic? ** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Secure Remote Connection session mis-behaves when connecting to non-linux hosts. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335649 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
