Hi,
I set up VNC server with xinetd. Also configured GDM so that XDMCP is enabled.
VNC connection seems okay, but GDM login screen is not shown. Instead I can only see old bare X screen (gray meshed background and X-shaped mouse pointer), which I can't do any interaction with it.
What can I do to fix the problem? No log is written below /var/log/.
Server distribution: Ubuntu marverick
/etc/xinetd.d/vnc is like below:
service vnc1024
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = nobody
server = /usr/bin/Xvnc
server_args = -inetd -query localhost -geometry 1024x768 -depth 24 -once securitytypes=none
port = 12345
}
/etc/gdm/custom.conf:
[daemon]
[security]
DisallowTCP=false
[xdmcp]
Enable=true
[gui]
[greeter]
[chooser]
[debug]
[servers]
/etc/services is also configured.
Thanks
