I do have the messages in /var/log/syslog that Grizzly mentioned, on the local machine, if I use a local Gutsy to try to connect to remote Gutsy with XDMCP from the GDM login screen (it always works using Xnest on the local machine instead of GDM).
On reflection I believe this bug has been discussing two issues which are often encountered together, but which may be unrelated: 1. Gutsy's inability to be connected inwards to using XDMCP from GDM on other machines, regardless of the version on the connecting machine - this is worked-around by reverting gdm on Gutsy to 2.20.0-0ubuntu2. 2. Gutsy's inability to connect outwards using XDMCP from GDM to other machines, regardless of version of the other machine. This is not fixed by reverting gdm to 2.20.0-0ubuntu2. One or both of these may be duplicated in Bug #148474 (BTW, how do I insert a link to that bug? It isn't obvious to me.) I have no wobbly windows or other effects in use. -- Remote Login via XDMCP is not working in Ubuntu Gusty/7.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150193 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
