Comment 13 for bug 62031

Hello Basilio,

thanks for your attention on my problem. Meanwhile I setup the VMWare player and was able to connect via XDMCP to the virtual machine.

The issue is going away and it looks like it was a problem between Ubuntu and old XMing versions which can be fixed using XMing 6.9.0.31

Some details if somebody else has the same problem:
First I make a try connecting my XMing version to the new installed Ubuntu 8.04 developement version and I get another problem: A flashing XMing window, unable to reach the brown Ubuntu Login screen.

I dont get the "half"- logon (start and run GDM on Ubuntu 6.06 but no Nautilus) using my old XMing versions in combination with Ubuntu 8.04. But it is also possible that this different behavior is forced by differences in timing connecting to the 2 machines.

After updating XMing to last downloadeble version 6.9.0.31 logon into Ubuntu 8.04 was possible without any additional XMing options.

I crosschecked XMing 6.9.0.31 with my old Ubuntu 6.06 version (the real machine stays unchanged). Now It works also fine and I also no longer need the workaround which disables XMing's unicode clipboard (-nounicodeclipboard)

So for me it looks like Xming versions I used 2006 (6.9.0.15 and 6.9.0.18) have a problem on connectiong to Ubuntu.

Thanks

Hans-Werner
