xdmcp problem in opensuse 11.2

I’m using Linux since V5.3, so I have a little bit expirience in using it ;).

My Primergy RX300 server is running under Linux since opensuse 8.3, with v9.0 I started to use xdmcp / xming under Windows XP SP3 in my LAN (and only there :wink: ). Until opensuse 11.1 it works always really fine. With opensuse 11.2 I got the following problem:

I’m starting Xming (Windows XP SP3) to connect via xdmcp to my server, I can see the login screen (gnome), I can choose a username and also I can enter the password. After pressing ENTER nothing is happening! The screen doesn’t change to the desktop, you can only see gnome’s idle icon!

I downgrade back to 11.1, everything is fine again. I tried both versions (11.1 and 11.2) now on 6 (!) different machines, always the same! With 11.1 xdmcp works, with 11.2 not!

Yes, and shame on me, I tried this with Ubuntu also. 9.10 works not, older versions will. But that’s not important here… :\

Ok, I suppose there is a big change in opensuse 11.2 from 11.1.

But: which?

What do I have to do that xdmcp / xming is working fine with 11.2?

Can anybody tell me?

I have no idea anymore… :frowning:

I have little idea what xdmcp / xming does, but the biggest change between 11.1
and 11.2 is a kernel upgrade from 2.6.27 to 2.6.31 and an upgrade from KDE 3.5
to 4.3. I think you could add KDE 4.X to 11.1, but you certainly could try a
more recent kernel from the Factory repo.

Oh sorry!

XMing is a X11-server for windows. With XMing I can login remote from my windows pc to my linux server!
