Re: XDMCP broke


Andrew,

Sounds like a problem with your kdmrc file. Try commenting out the [Desktop0] section, or creating a backup of the original file and removing it from kdmrc.

You will then have to restart kdm. I believe you can do that on Mandrake with (as root): 'service xdm restart' or perhaps 'service kdm restart'.

Of course, you can always do 'init 3' followed by an 'init 5' about a minute later. Or, you can reboot.

The following situation was working:

I have Windows XP running 1.3.22 and XFree85-xser 4.2.0-28. I also have another machine with Mandrake 9.1 and had configured it to host XDMCP sessions. I created a little script:

rm -rf /tmp/.X11-unix
xdmcp_server=earth

XWin                    \
 -fullscreen           \
 -screen 0 1600 1200   \
 -once                 \
 -query $xdmcp_server  &

When I run this script in the past I would get a fullscreen X server running and be presented with a login session. Now it just starts the X server and no XDMCP session starts.

Looking over on the Mandrake system I find the following in /var/log/mdkkdm.log:

Apr 25 11:49:07 mdkkdm_config[1540] error: Unrecognized section name [Desktop0] at /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc:1

The beginning of /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc looks like:

[root at earth root]# head /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc
[Desktop0]
BackgroundMode=Flat
BlendBalance=100
BlendMode=NoBlending
ChangeInterval=60
Color1=33,68,156
Color2=192,192,192
CurrentWallpaper=0
LastChange=0
MinOptimizationDepth=1

Any ideas?
