Backport fix for broken XDMCP login to Lucid

[Alkis Georgopoulos]

Binary package hint: gdm

XDMCP logins work the first time in Lucid, but not the second time due to an uninitialized structure.
The relevant 2-line patch in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=579033#61 has been accepted upstream and is included in Maverick+.
Please backport it to lucid-updates.

If anyone needs this before it's backported, I've uploaded a fixed .deb in my ppa:

Thank you for your work, maybe you could add a debdiff to the bug and subscribe ubuntu-sponsors?

[Alkis Georgopoulos (alkisg)]

Thank you Sebastien, attaching a .debdiff and subscribing ubuntu-sponsors.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Thanks, I've sponsored your update, it will take some weeks to be reviewed though since lucid is frozen at the moment for the coming point update

Accepted gdm into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Runs fine on my i386 Lucid:

$ dpkg-query -W gdm
gdm 2.30.2.is.2.30.0-0ubuntu5

Connected via XDMCP about 10 times in a row with no problems.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package gdm - 2.30.2.is.2.30.0-0ubuntu5

---------------
gdm (2.30.2.is.2.30.0-0ubuntu5) lucid-proposed; urgency=low

  * Initialize length for XdmcpFill, fixes XDMCP logins (LP: #697112)
