Guest rgadiou Posted November 29, 2002 Report Share Posted November 29, 2002 Hi, I've updated somes linuxbox of my laboratory from 8.2 to 9.0. All is fine excepted for the xdmcp configuration. most PC of the laboratory used the connection through a line /etc/X11/X -indirect hostname to get the chooser. how to I get the same behaviour with the mandrake 9 as X is no more in /etc/inittab file but in the /etc/init.d/rc5.d/dm file thank's for any help.

theYinYeti Posted November 29, 2002 Report Share Posted November 29, 2002 I can't be sure because I don't use Mdk9.0. But you should be able to: - either delete the dm link from /etc/rc.d/rc5.d, and add the start of X in /etc/inittab, as it used to be (preferably at the end of the file); - or modify the dm script (create a backup) in /etc/rc.d/init.d Yves.

Guest rgadiou Posted November 29, 2002 Report Share Posted November 29, 2002 hi, I've tried these two possibilities. it doesn't work, the chooser stops on errors and after a while, kdm is launched by the "/etc/X11/X -indirect hostname" command. roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYinYeti Posted November 29, 2002 Report Share Posted November 29, 2002 I don't know the -indirect switch. But did you try with the -query switch? It works like that: /path/to/X -query 10.0.0.10 where you replace 10.0.0.10 with the chooser's machine IP. Yves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qeldroma Posted November 30, 2002 Report Share Posted November 30, 2002 And you can change your inittab file, and kick away "dm". Just take this: # # inittab This file describes how the INIT process should set up # the system in a certain run-level. # # Author: Miquel van Smoorenburg, <miquels@drinkel.nl.mugnet.org> # Modified for RHS Linux by Marc Ewing and Donnie Barnes # # Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are: # 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this) # 1 - Single user mode # 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking) # 3 - Full multiuser mode # 4 - unused # 5 - X11 # 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this) # id:5:initdefault: # System initialization. si::sysinit:/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit l0:0:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 0 l1:1:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 1 l2:2:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 2 l3:3:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 3 l4:4:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 4 l5:5:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 5 l6:6:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 6 # Things to run in every runlevel. ud::once:/sbin/update # Trap CTRL-ALT-DELETE ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now # When our UPS tells us power has failed, assume we have a few minutes # of power left.
