XDMCP timed out for a linux box

PVR — Tue, 02 Nov 2004 03:58:11 GMT

Hi

I have a linux 7.1 box. I want to access it from a windows system using exceed. If I click XDMCP broadcast icon, I am able to see my linux box. But when I click on it. Nothing is happening and after around 3 minutes I am getting the error that XDMCP timed out. XDMCP version is 7.1. Linux runlevel is 5

Thanks in advance !!

Hi there.
Did you configure the setup for ExCeed ( xconfig ) ?
Is the X-server running on the Linux machine ?

If exceed is running on your personal workstation. You need to login to the linux system, and run, I believe it is kdesetup and click the box that says "enable xdmcp', I think. I'll check on the kdesetup command and repost.

Run gdmsetup on the linux server and check under the tab 'xdmcp'

do you have DNS resolution for your PC box with Exceed?

Hi PVR,

probably you haven't allow remote xserver on linux box.

In SuSE is it in

/etc/sysconfig/displaymanager:

DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER_TCP_PORT_6000_OPEN="yes"

(if you use gdm than disable it in security tab)

Alexander:
How can I see if my Linux server is running the X-Server?

ps auxw | grep X
will show you running X server.

Is there a FW between your windows machine and Linux server ?

Regards,

Fred

Hi there.
Sorry for late reaction.
Was sick.
The hints of the others were steps, that i would have taken after my first reply.
The 'ps' is the right way.
