I have a new -64 box and its running Fedor-15 very nicely thank you ;-) The bummer is that - well apart from fighting with systemd - it has a grotty old conventional CRT monitor. BLEH! So I've tied enabling Xdmcp on my widescreen laptop which is running openSuSe and on the Fedora box. Both are on the same LAN segment. The login screen on the CRT can see - Ctrl-R to display list of remotes - the laptop but when I try logging in from the CRT to the laptop I just get a black screen. The login screen on the doens't behave the same of the openSuSe laptop. The Ctrl-R bring up the list but a mouseover onto it shut it down. The list only has the laptop. Not the Fedora box. This has let me a bit perplexed. Anyone there with cross-system Xdmcp experience? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You don't need XDMCP, use Xorg. It's so simple. Xorg -query <host> :1 Works great. -- (678) 636-9678 ----------------------------------------- Discover it! Enjoy it!

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
