[opensuse] remote login from splash screen
I have a Suse 9 SP3 64 bit host I've installed gdm via sunray server. The default WM is KDE. What I'd like the login screen to allow is a remote login to any machine eg broadcasting via XDMCP without first logging in to this host. Under CDE, this would be found under options-->remote host. I've already modified gdm.conf with Enable=True Browser=true ChooserButton=true I've restarted X11 but see no difference. On this host I can xnest to get a remote login display from the various target hosts so I know they're running XDMCP. What other steps do I need to take?

Set DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS="yes" in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager and run SuSEconfig afterwards. Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Thanks for your reply. Actually, I've done all this. What I see on the splash screen are just the language and session buttons. Under sessions, I only see the various WM choices (in this case Last, KDE, Default and gnome). If I run gdmchooser within a kde session, I am prompted for hosts so it might just be a misconfigure of gdm.conf or some other file is affecting it Here's what's turned on in gdm.conf (grep -v "^#") [daemon] AutomaticLoginEnable=false AutomaticLogin= TimedLoginEnable=false TimedLogin= TimedLoginDelay=30 Configurator=/usr/bin/gdmsetup --disable-sound --disable-crash-dialog Chooser=/usr/bin/gdmchooser Greeter=/usr/bin/gdmgreeter RemoteGreeter=/usr/bin/gdmlogin DefaultPath=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/X11R6/bin:/usr/bin AlwaysRestartServer=false User=gdm Group=gdm LogDir=/var/log/gdm PidFile=/var/run/gdm.pid PostLoginScriptDir=/etc/X11/gdm/SunRayPostLogin/ PreSessionScriptDir=/etc/X11/gdm/SunRayPreSession/ PostSessionScriptDir=/etc/X11/gdm/SunRayPostSession/ DisplayInitDir=/etc/X11/gdm/SunRayInit FailsafeXServer= XKeepsCrashing=/bin/true RebootCommand=/bin/false HaltCommand=/bin/false SuspendCommand=/bin/false ServAuthDir=/var/gdm BaseXsession=/etc/X11/gdm/Xsession UserAuthDir= UserAuthFBDir=/tmp UserAuthFile=.Xauthority StandardXServer=/usr/X11R6/bin/X FlexibleXServers=0 Xnest=/usr/X11R6/bin/Xnest -audit 0 -name Xnest VTAllocation=false [security] AllowRoot=true AllowRemoteRoot=true AllowRemoteAutoLogin=false RelaxPermissions=0 RetryDelay=3 UserMaxFile=65536 DisallowTCP=false [xdmcp] Enable=true HonorIndirect=true Willing=/etc/X11/gdm/Xwilling [gui] GtkRC=/usr/share/themes/Bluecurve/gtk-2.0/gtkrc [greeter] TitleBar=false ConfigAvailable=false Browser=false DefaultFace=/usr/share/pixmaps/nobody.png Exclude=bin,daemon,adm,lp,sync,shutdown,halt,mail,news,uucp,operator,nobody,gdm,postgres,pvm,rpm,nfsnobody,pcap GlobalFaceDir=/usr/share/faces/ LocaleFile=/etc/X11/gdm/locale.alias Logo= Quiver=true SystemMenu=false Welcome=Welcome RemoteWelcome=Welcome to %n LockPosition=true SetPosition=false PositionX=0 PositionY=0 XineramaScreen=0 BackgroundType=0 BackgroundImage= BackgroundScaleToFit=true BackgroundColor=#27408b BackgroundRemoteOnlyColor=true RunBackgroundProgramAlways=false ShowGnomeFailsafeSession=false ShowXtermFailsafeSession=false Use24Clock=false UseCirclesInEntry=false GraphicalTheme=circles GraphicalThemeDir=/usr/share/gdm/themes/ [chooser] DefaultHostImg=/usr/share/pixmaps/nohost.png HostImageDir=/usr/share/hosts/ ScanTime=4 Hosts=greenticle,reticle Broadcast=true AllowAdd=true [debug] Enable=true [servers] 0=StandardVT 0=Chooser [server-Standard] name=Standard server command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -audit 0 flexible=false [server-StandardVT] name=Standard server with VTAllocation command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -audit 0 vt7 flexible=false [server-Terminal] name=Terminal server command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -audit 0 -terminate flexible=false handled=false [server-Chooser] name=Chooser server command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -audit 0 flexible=false chooser=true On Fri, May 16, 2008 at 11:08 AM, Philipp Thomas <pth@suse.de> wrote:

Assuming the other computers are configured for XDMCP, it's all ready there. I don't recall the exact details, as I don't have a SUSE box in front of me, but when you're at the login screen, look at the bottom left corner of the display. In the right section, there's the place where you select login type.

Try pressing F10 That brings up a "extra" menu under gdm for me. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Indeed it was a couple of settings in gdm.conf First and foremost, SystemMenu must be set to be true or the "Action" menu under which the Option "Run XDMCP chooser" will not appear. Second, Sunray server software installs its own version of gdm. It is missing the Xwilling script. I temporarily got around this by repointing Willing=/etc/X11/xdm/Xwilling rather than in the gdm directory. Ultimately, I'll probably rewrite it. Thanks to all for the suggestions On Fri, May 16, 2008 at 2:06 PM, Bjørn Lie <bjorn.lie@gmail.com> wrote:
