You don't need XDMCP, use Xorg. It's so simple.
Xorg -query<host> :1
Works great.
Not! First: Please do not cc both the list and and the OP. One or the other. Not both. No, it doesn't work I ran sudo Xorg -query newbox :1 in an xterm under KDE and got Fatal server error: XDMCP fatal error: Manager unwilling Host unwilling I had to run it as 'sudo' since it wont work as uid=anton :-( Are you now going to tell me that I should not run it from within a DM? That this should be a command line at, perhaps run level 3? Perhaps you might have said that - or whatever conditions apply - to start with. No, its not "obvious". And I'll ask again, why can't this work with KDM? Why can't I have a 'chooser' that would let me log in to any machine on the LAN? I'm willing to entertain 'remote desktop' ideas ... that I can/should log in to my wide-screen laptop first (and perhaps connect from my patio via wifi ....) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
