Re: Lost my GDM login X-Terminal

Hi there,

with help from this list I managed to get my old pc running as a
graphical X-Terminal, GDM displaying the chooser from sarge/new pc.

Somehow I've lost it - I was tinkering with a new kernel, alsa sound on
the host in the mean time.

I can ping <name of new pc> from the old pc(x-terminal), but if I X -query <name of new pc> I just get a grey screen with the x-pointer.

Once again asking for your help,

It is not clear WHICH computer you were playing around with in the above note. Was the new kernel & alsa sound on the "new" computer that is running the chooser? It sure sounds like XDMCP is not running somewhere....

Try the following: "X -indirect <name of new PC>. This should at least give you a "chooser" screen with a listing of all the available XDMCP enabled computers on the network. Tell us which one is missing.... or clarify what is / isn't happening a bit more.
