@kde-maintainers: is this issue addressed in sddm (and kdm)?
Not yet. I had a look, and kdm adds "-nolisten tcp" to the X command line if DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER_TCP_PORT_6000_OPEN="no" and nothing otherwise. So it is affected apparently. This is handled in the shell script /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/read_sysconfig.sh lines 70ff., added by the patch kdm-sysconfig-values.diff. I'll work on fixing this, although I am wondering whether we actually need a version check: I doubt that Xorg will ever be downgraded to < 1.17 in Leap or Tumbleweed, and a workaround for users of older distributions (that upgrade their Xorg) would be to add "-listen tcp" to DISPLAYMANAGER_KDM_LOCALARGS (in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager). sddm is not affected really, AFAICT it doesn't read/respect DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER_TCP_PORT_6000_OPEN at all. You can specify command line arguments via the ServerArguments option in /etc/sddm.conf, the default is "-nolisten tcp". So, currently sddm unconditionally starts Xorg with "-nolisten tcp" by default, regardless of DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER_TCP_PORT_6000_OPEN. That's not a regression though, rather a (missing) feature. We probably could add handling of DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER_TCP_PORT_6000_OPEN, but I suppose that's out of scope of this bug report. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
