Server-side settin

Ubuntu 9.10 does not enable XDMCP support by default, it can be opened by modifying the configuration file.

First copy the configuration text

Cp / usr/share/doc/gdm/examples/custom.conf / etc/gdm/

Now the content of this custom.conf is as follows:

# GDM configuration storage [xdmcp] [chooser] [security] [debug]

Change it to this:

# GDM configuration storage [xdmcp] Enable=true DisplaysPerHost=2 [chooser] [security] [debug]

Save and restart the gdm service.

The server completes ~ ~ client settings

First install the required software packages:

Sudo apt-get install xnest

Method 1: then use the Applications- > Internet- > Terminal Server Client tool to connect to the XDMCP server, which is a graphical interface, not to mention. The disadvantage is that you have to log in to the local machine before logging in to the XDMCP server. And remote login is also in the form of a window, uncomfortable, not thorough.

Method 2: open a Terminal and enter:

Xinit--: 1-query XDMCP_IP_ADDRESS

After you enter, the system will open a new X session, and the login interface of the server will appear. Pros: full screen, no need for local graphical interface; disadvantages: still have to log in to the local machine.

Method 3: the most thorough. Add the commands from method 2 to the / etc/rc.local file. You can then delete useless graphical interface programs such as Gnome, GDM, and so on, on the client. After the user turns on, the login interface of the remote server automatically appears and goes directly into the server operation.

Some problems

After using method 3, if there is a problem with the network, the client has a black screen after booting, and there is no response: switch to the console with Ctrl+Alt+F2, and the client machine can be operated.

The interface of the client machine is about the machine and the restart button, but it doesn't actually work.

If the client plays music on the server, the sound plays out the server's audio interface, not the client.
