gdm: Unable to Connect with XDMCP (thin clients)
Last modified: 2016-04-15 14:00:33 UTC
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b4) Gecko/20100818 Firefox/4.0b4 gdm was broken and did not allow XDMCP connections in 11.3 Halfline cooked a patch and I was able to get it to merge and compile and it indeed is now working. I'm uploading the two patches along with the updated gdm.spec file. They are listed as Patch98 and Patch99 in the spec. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Created attachment 387530 [details] First patch
Created attachment 387531 [details] Second patch
Created attachment 387532 [details] updated gdm.spec file
Maintenance team: can we add those two patches to gdm in 11.3?
Note: we might want a backport of http://git.gnome.org/browse/gdm/commit/?id=cdc8f37268 too, to add a disconnect button for remote clients.
+1 yes, an update is reasonable; Vincent, we should pick up all fixes (comment #5) ;-)

no one against, so update started.
I submitted the patch with the change for bug 633655 (in sr#48181), where the patchinfo should be handled by the security team, as far as I understand. What should I do with the patchinfo here?
I've included the bug number in the patchinfo for the security update.
Update released for: gdm, gdm-branding-upstream, gdm-debuginfo, gdm-debugsource, gdm-lang, gnome-applets-gdm, gnome-applets-gdm-debuginfo Products: openSUSE 11.3 (debug, i586, x86_64)
@all: Looks like the patch for comment #5 didn't land. Confirmed that XDMCP is working again with this patch, but #5 gives you a disconnect button so that users can disconnect from the authentication screen and return back to the previous login screen on thin clients. rpm -q --changelog gdm-2.30.2-6.1.1.x86_64 * Mon Sep 13 2010 vuntz@opensuse.org - Add gdm-fix-dbus-properties.patch: org.gnome.DBus.Properties was referenced instead of org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties in the dbus configuration. Fix bnc#633655. - Add gdm-xdmcp-fixes.patch to fix connection with XDMCP. Fix bnc#637069.
