Since i've updated to gdm-2.20 remote logins to XDMCP-hosts no longer work. The window to select a remote host appears, if I select my XDMCP-host the X-Server restarts but then crashes, printing this to /var/log/messages: Nov 19 00:10:05 host246 kernel: gdm[17381]: segfault at 000004d0 eip b7aa6a91 esp bffc6a30 error 4 Nov 19 00:09:59 host246 gdmchooser[17371]: GLib-GObject-WARNING: gsignal.c:1019: unable to lookup signal "activate" of unloaded type `GtkMenuItem' Nov 19 00:10:05 host246 gdm[12799]: WARNING: gdm_cleanup_children: child 17381 crashed of signal 11 Nov 19 00:10:05 host246 gdm[12799]: WARNING: gdm_cleanup_children: Slave crashed, killing its children Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start gdm via /etc/init.d/xdm 2. Select Options => remote login via XDMCP the X-server will restart (OK) 3. Select a XDMCP-host the X-server will restart again (OK) Actual Results: gdm crashes, black screen Expected Results: A welcome screen on the remote XDMCP-host should appear (like with gdm-2.18) If I type "Xorg -query remote.host" the welcome screen on the remote XDMCP-host appears I can build gdm with or without remote use-flag, no difference
Seems that Fedora is applying two patches related with xdmcp problems: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=246399 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=379511 The src.rpm (with patches) can be downloaded from: ftp://ftp.free.fr/pub/Distributions_Linux/Fedora/updates/8/SRPMS/gdm-2.20.1-7.fc8.src.rpm From their gdm-2.20.1 changelog: * Thu Nov 15 2007 Ray Strode <rstrode@redhat.com> - 1:2.20.1-7 - Apply upstream patch to make xdmcp work better (bug 379511) * Wed Oct 17 2007 Warren Togami <wtogami@redhat.com> - 1:2.20.1-3 - Fix GDM segfault when XInput extension not available Also fixes XDMCP (#246399)
remote USE flag isn't for XDMCP it's for ssh based connections iirc. Please paste in emerge --info and check bug #194541

Should I try something more stable? Maybe without LDFLAGS?
I am now suffering the same problem after upgrading to gnome-2.20, and I don't have any LDFLAGS
The patches didn't work :'( I have found these similar bugs: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=495623 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/150193
Created attachment 137163 [details, diff] gdm-2.20.1-svnfixes.patch This patch from mandriva src.rpm fixes this issue :-)
gdm-2.20.2 was released yesterday, it should fix this issue also: http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/gnome/sources/gdm/2.20/gdm-2.20.2.tar.bz2
Okay, I've added 2.20.2 to the tree. Please re-open if this doesn't fix the problem.
Xdmcp-logins now work again! Thanks!
