How Can I Connect CentOS7 Via Xdmcp?
Dear all,
Does any one success to connect CentOS7 via xdmcp?
I’ve tried, but not yet succeeded.
1) CentOS7 with Development and Creative workstation
2) Disabled SELinux by editing /etc/selinux/config
3) Disabled firewalld by systemctl disable firewalld
4) 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.
Best regards, Kosuke Yagi

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.
Thank you Les, I will try it.
