Package: kdm
Version: 4:3.5.1-1
Severity: important
I am no longer able to log into my debian linux box using Xvnc, the
following log messages result with any attempt:
kdm[2181]: XDMCP socket creation failed, errno 97
kdm[2181]: Internal error: config reader supplied incomplete data
kdm[2181]: Unable to read configuration for display :0; stopping it.
kdm[2181]: Internal error: config reader supplied incomplete data

I usually run dselect once a week, this issue began with the update made
last friday. This last update made a modification to kdmrc, and the issue
here was initially diagnosed with the unmodified file. I compared the
files and imported the modifications into the dpkg-dist version with no
visible change. The only obvious modifications are a commenting out of
StaticServers and enabling of XDMRC.
Very few matches on Google for this issue. I found one message stating
that I needed a "clean rebuild" of the binary, another suggesting that
this might be an IPv6 issue (I do not believe that I am running IPv6 at
the moment)

After some configuration corrections (darned multiple interfaces) I have
successfully gotten an XDMRC connection to the KDE server, this was done
without any special configuration changes other than the ones required to
get the basic software working. I consider this issue closed at this time.

I have spent some time trying to get X working again as per this bug, but it
has been some time since I have been in here and many of the packages have
changed since then.
I have not yet successfully gotten an XDMCP session running yet, but I
cannot say whether it is related to this bug or one of many potential
configuration faults on my side.
FWIW a tightvnc server is showing a login prompt for me, so if that is
related to this issue then it may show progress being made
These are the current errors I'm seeing in my daemon.log, I have not yet
found a way to get additional information at this time. I will try to
revisit this issue again later.

on the Debian BTS
Hi,
We (the Debian Qt/KDE team) are trying to update the bug status of some
old bugs in the BTS.
You filed the bug
#353940 "kdm: will no longer start (using Xvnc"
some time ago, you can read the bug report at:
http://bugs.debian.org/353940
We are sorry if nobody responded when you filed the bug, KDE has gotten more
bugs
in the past years than the maintainers could handle. We are trying to fix
this now,
but we need your help. So please respond to this mail and tell us if:
- you are still experiencing this bug (adding in what version)
- the bug was already fixed,
- or if you have extra information on how reproduce this bug.

Thanks in advance,
Ana Guerrero,
