I'm trying to setup a multi-user VNC server on recent versions of Fedora without success thus far. I understand that doing so requires a display manager with XDMCP support. The current default DM is SDDM which does not include such support (at least so far as I've found). That means I need to change the DM.
Following a suggestion I found somewhere, I ran "dnf install kdm; systemctl enable --force kdm.service". I chose KDM because the machines involved generally use KDE, not Gnome. That seems to be a painless substitution. However, I'm sure I'll have to install some protections against automatic updates that reverse the change. Then I tried to follow the instructions in RH Bugzilla 1393971 (<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1393971>) and those at RH Solutions 2516 (for XDMCP with xinetd) and 2681531 (which replaces xinetd with a systemd socket). I also modified /etc/kde/kdm/Xaccess to uncomment "*". After this I get a connection but no login screen, just a blank screen with a momentary note about using F8. The log shows several errors at different times in my experiments. Sometimes Plymouth is not running. Sometimes I'm told the VNC service got more than one socket. Usually KDM reports that it can't open the display, using an IPv6 notation for the display. Can anyone point me to instructions which take into account systemd and the structure of recent Fedora releases? It seems to me likely that I've messed up something simple in trying to adapt the instructions (which are for xinetd and GDM). Or have I provided enough information to make a guess as to the problem? -- Dave Close "Age is a very high price to pay for maturity." -- Tom Stoppard _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
