Xmanager Forum

RH 6.0 with GNOME + W2K

When start Xmanager, it can find [RH IP address 0:0(Gnome)].
But it shows "XDMCP connection failed. try again?". The WINDOWS nerver comes on.

1. Please give us the result of the following command on Linux prompt:

# ps -aux | grep dm

2. And also we need the following files:

/etc/inittab
/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf

3. Your network configuration between the PC and Linux. (LAN or ADSL ..., firewall, gateway ...)

Looking forward to your reply.

# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are:

Thanks.

Please answer me.

I already did as what you asked.

Thanks.

Sorry for the late response.

Your Linux is running a gdm and it's configuration looks good.
But the gdm on RedHat 6.0 has a bug in processing X terminals.

You can do one of the following two options:

1. Running xdm or kdm instead of gdm.
2. Upgrading gdm package.
We are not sure that this is possible.
Because RedHat 6.0 is a little older version
and the latest gdm couldn't be installed.
