Does any one success to connect CentOS7 via xdmcp? I've tried, but not yet succeeded.
- CentOS7 with Development and Creative workstation
- Disabled SELinux by editing /etc/selinux/config
- Disabled firewalld by systemctl disable firewalld
- Enabled xdmcp by editing /etc/gdm/custom.conf
Adding "Enable=true" in [xdmcp] section 5) reboot 7) connect from windows7 PC with Xming-6.9.0.31 "One window" mode with xdmcp connection -> This is not working.
How I can do next step?
Additional information, I can open single Xterm window through Xming "Multiple windows" mode, but I can't open gnome-terminal with same way.
I guessed this means thomething wrong in gnome or gdm working witn remote X or xdmcp. But I have no idea to resolve it.
I can't help with xdmcp, but if you are connecting from something capable of running the x2go client (linux/windows/mac) you can use that instead ([packages in EPEL). It doesn't work with the stock gnome3 desktop due to the 3d requirements, but KDE or the MATE desktop from EPEL work fine. (MATE is a fork of gnome2 and has a very familiar feeling...).
X2go has the advantage of being able to disconnect/reconnect sessions and will have better performance than native remote X on networks with latency.
