I would like to be able to run an XDMCP connection from my Windows PC to
my Kubuntu PC so I installed Xmanager on my WinPC.
Xbrowser does not see the linux box. "/*Note*: *Xbrowser* finds all
Unix/Linux hosts on your local network automatically. If your Unix host
is not found on the *Xbrowser* window, the host is not ready to serve
XDMCP connections."/
Here is Xmanager's FAQ:
For XDMCP connection to Ubuntu
1. XDM Configuration
1. Change runlevel to 5
Open/etc/inittab and set the initial runlevel to 5 as following:
id:5:initdefault:
2. Enable XDMCP
For GDM:
Open /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf and set the Enable entry to 1 in the
[xdmcp] section as following.
[xdmcp]
Enable=1
Open /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf and set the DisallowTCP entry to false
in the [security] section as following.
[security]
DisallowTCP=false
2. Firewall (TCP/UDP Ports) Configuration
Open UDP port 177 from the PC to the remote host direction.
Open incoming TCP ports 6000~6010 from the remote host to your PC.
3. Reboot the remote host and start Xmanager
# init 3; init 5
Question 1: since Kubuntu 6.10 doe snot have /etc/inittab, exactly where
do I go to change the runlevel to 5?
Question 2: since I am not running GDM, what do I do to enable XDMCP?
Thanks.
