[opensuse] remote desktop xsesman broken? where does it get its cmdline?
Ever since downgrading from 11.2 to 11.4 (given the number of problems I'm **still having** 5 months after the upgrade, it was the worst in my experience since suse 7.2), I've been unable to login to my system via remote desktop and xrdp. It kept claiming it was sending info to sesman, then login session failed.... I thought it was a passwd problem and tried to chase that down, as other apps have complained about authentication failures and login failures returned by PAM, but then they allow login... (?its a feature?) But turns out, this one is caused by xsesman finally figured how to run it interactively: [20111021-13:38:37] [CORE ] starting sesman with pid 14506 [20111021-13:38:37] [INFO ] listening... [20111021-13:39:19] [INFO ] granted TS access to user root [20111021-13:39:19] [INFO ] starting Xdmx session... Unrecognized option: -- use: X [:<display>] [option] -a # default pointer acceleration (factor) -ac disable access control restrictions -audit int set audit trail level -auth file select authorization file -br create root window with black background +bs enable any backing store support -bs disable any backing store support .... Fatal server error: Unrecognized option: -- [20111021-13:39:19] [CORE ] error X server died - user root - pid 14564 Well, I can guess that '--' should mean end of options to some program sesman is trying to start, but obviously they aren't arguments to the Xserver. (Xdmx). So...what's it trying to do and how did this ever get out of factory?

It is trying to execute whatever it is you have in /etc/xrdp/sesman.ini and I don't think it did get out of factory - or into it, for that matter. I don't see that we're shipping xrdp in opensuse at all, not even in the build service. Maybe I'm missing something Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I may be too...(likely, I'm way overloaded with about 50 things going at once, and none of them real well)... I'll check it out...maybe it was relying on a file that got moved during the upgrade...alot of that happened... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
