[Bug 859711] New: XDMCP has not worked since 11.4
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=859711 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=859711#c0 Summary: XDMCP has not worked since 11.4 Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 13.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 13.1 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE4 Workspace AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: james.knott@rogers.com QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:26.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/26.0 I used to be a regular user of remote desktops via XDMCP. However, the last version of OpenSUSE it worked with was 11.4. Since then, it has been completely useless. Currently, when trying to open a remote session, there is no listed systems to select from and it's not possible to type in a host name to add to the list. As this is a function I used to use regulary, it would be nice to get it going again. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Use Switch User to start a remote login 2.List box appears, with no systems listed. Host names cannot be manually added 3. Actual Results: Unable to use at all Expected Results: Connection to remote desktop Remote desktop has long been a feature of Linux & Unix. It hasn't worked with openSUSE & KDE since 12.x. The last version it worked with was 11.4. -- 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.

Some things seem to have improved to be at least usable. This currently works on oS 12.3 (James try on 13.1) with kdm:
So it is actually working after all? Would be nice to have this confirmed for 13.1 as well of course. (In reply to comment #7)

So you created yet another bug report? As I told you in bug#803590, this issue has been reported already. See bnc#772344 (comment#4) for a list of related upstream bug reports. And please don't start another discussion if your new upstream bug report gets closed as duplicate... ;) -- 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.

It does now. It did not last I tried. I am hoping someone running 13.1 can test that.
So you created yet another bug report?
Yes. I searched, none of what came up described all the cases. I can't do anything about what doesn't show up, and nobody cares about reports 3 years old (me included). If you have a problem with that, it's yours to keep... :-) -- 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.

It does now. It did not last I tried. Well, I'm pretty sure that nothing has changed in KDM regarding this recently...

Well, I pointed you to the bug reports already. And you even replied to at least two of them today, _before_ you filed the new one...
and nobody cares about reports 3 years old I fear that nobody's going to care about the new one either.
Btw, there is a reason why bugzilla has states like OPEN, RESOLVED, and CLOSED. And there's a reason why irrelevant/duplicate/whatever bugs get closed/resolved. Only this makes it possible to still find (and maybe fix) 3 years old bugs.
If you have a problem with that, it's yours to keep... :-) I have a problem with you being annoying and wasting people's time (including mine), especially with useless comments in closed/resolved bug reports. But let's stop that now finally, please. The bug will not get magically fixed by that.

I can confirm that. I'm currently using XDMCP to access one of my Xen domUs (with dom0 serving as my X terminal), and once the connection is established, everything works smoothly. Only grain of salt: I have set the X terminal to send broadcasts in order to discover any machines that are willing to serve X requests, but none of them shows up in the chooser. However, the machine has multiple interfaces, with two of them configured for the client side of a connection (built-in WLAN connecting to a remote AP as well as my mobile for connecting to LTE/UMTS) and the other three (USB WLAN stick, Ethernet, and virtual network interface) serving as master interfaces (to allow other machines to connect). It would be nice to get that up and running, too. Furthermore, none of the physical interfaces are bridged - only the virtual Ethernet is a bridge linking a virtual interface within dom0 to interfaces within any domU. -- 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.

I can now see the available systems, but I still can't connect. When I select a remote host, I am returned to the desktop of the computer I'm using.
Is this after a delay, indicating a timeout? In that case check for firewall interference. It's easiest to temporarily turn off the firewall on the hosts your are connecting from and to. -- 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.

There is no firewall on either computer. This is between 2 computers on my local lan.
Every Linux system runs a firewall by default. Run SuSEfirewall2 stop on both systems involved, restart Xwindows on the client, then try again. -- 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.
