Bug Description
Binary package hint: gdm
XDMCP is not working.
I have 2 Gusty desktops on the same network with no firewall settings, one has XDMCP enabled.
" When I try to connect to it, I see a "dead" X screen (with the X cursor in the middle) for a split second, then I'm return to my local login screen. "
http://
** The GDM starts without problems while XDMCP is enabled ,but the XDMCP connection does not work as explained above.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable Remote Login on PC1 running Ubuntu Gusty/7.10 from Administration > Login Window > Remote with Style same as Login
2. Reboot PC1 to complete enabling the Remote Login.
3. From another PC (PC2) running Ubuntu Gusty/7.10, use Options > Remote Login via XDMCP from the Login Screen
4. PC1 appears on the list, connect to it
Result:
I see a "dead" X screen (with the X cursor in the middle) for a split second, then I'm returned to my local login screen.
Or If I was using the switch user option, I'm returned to the lock screen window asking for my local login password.
