Guys,

What is the status of XDMCP in 12.1, I saw after the rest about someone else having issues with it, has it been remove, is it broke, or how does one enable it?

We use 12.1 on our servers and have some X11 thin clients. The thin clients see our servers via XDMCP and can connect to them.

Besides that KDE has extremely poor performance over the network it works fine.

Christoph

I believe the problem is with using openSUSE 12.1 to connect to the servers, not making the servers available. I have used the remote login to access XDMCP enabled servers for years, with several versions of openSUSE, up to 11.4. However, the remote login is broken in 12.1. The problem has been reported in bugs.opensuse.org, but there has been no resolution to date. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yes. It worked in 11.4 and earlier, but is broken in 12.1. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

James, Quick question, did you tell 12.1 to turn on XDMCP, it looks like it off by default. Under "YAST" --> "SYSTEM" --> "/etc/sysconfig Editor" --> "Desktop" --> "Display Manager" There are three fields that are set to "no" DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS DISPLAYMANAGER_ROOT_LOGIN_REMOTE ( up to you only ) DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER_TCP_PORT_6000_OPEN Have you try to set those to yes and restart? -- Terror PUP a.k.a Chuck "PUP" Payne (678) 636-9678 ----------------------------------------- Discover it!

James,

There are three fields that are set to "no"

DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS DISPLAYMANAGER_ROOT_LOGIN_REMOTE  ( up to you only ) DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER_TCP_PORT_6000_OPEN

Have you try to set those to yes and restart?

Have you tried SUSE Studio? Need to create a Live CD,  an app you want to package and distribute , or create your own linux distro. Give SUSE Studio a try. www.susestudio.com.

Remember to open of the firewall for xmdcp. I can connect the fresh install of 12.1, but I do notice from KDM screen there is no remote access option like before, which sucks. I use my openSUSE desktop to manage all my kvm. A lot better than virt-manager.

One more then, though you can't log in from KDM any more once you are logged in, there is a program called "Remmina Remote Desktop Client", what will let you log into servers running XDMCP. -- Terror PUP a.k.a Chuck "PUP" Payne (678) 636-9678 ----------------------------------------- Discover it!

I'll have to give that a try.

tnx

Looks great, except... I can't log in. I tried to connect to my computer and entered my ID & password, but instead of getting the desktop, I was returned to the login screen. I can connect using remote login on another computer running 11.4. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hmmm...

It appears that it won't connect to the same computer it's running on.  It does when connecting to other computers.  It is possible to connect to the same computer with remote login.

on the host you are trying to access try this telnet localhost 6000 If you get a connected reply then set up correctly, if you get a can't connect, then look over your set up again. -- Terror PUP a.k.a Chuck "PUP" Payne (678) 636-9678 ----------------------------------------- Discover it!

I don't have a firewall enabled on this computer. Regardless, the problem is when I try to connect to other computers, such as my server, from 12.1. In openSUSE, when you select Switch User, there's an option for remote login, which brings up a list of available system. The problem is that as soon as you move the mouse or press a key to try to select the remote system, the list disappears. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
