(bnc#546632). Therefore I do not have your last fix. However "zypper up -t package" does not want to install anything. I do not see what the whole isssue has to do with Xvnc. My problem is that thin clients do not get a login screen from kdm now. Last year when 10.2 was released xdm and kdm did not work. The reason was that both got the XDMCP requests via IPv6 and could not handle mapped IPv4 addresses. (kdm had the additional problem that it did not answer correctly to IPv6 packets). My patches fixed that. The xdm patch was applied by opensuse and now xdm works for me. I've patched kdm locally and it worked till I upgraded to the newest packages last week which still did not work. That's why I was now reporting the issue again. In the meantime both upstream projects, xdm and kdm, merged my patches. Therefore I expect no problems with kdm in opensuse 11.3. If Xvnc cannot handle IPv6 then this is a bug in Xvnc that should be fixed. There is no reason why xdm or kdm should not get the IPv6 address. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
