#1351 gdm and libXau tag request
Closed: Fixed None Opened 15 years ago by rstrode.

They work around a network manager feature that breaks the world (and in particular prevents the system from booting properly for some users if the ethernet cable is plugged in).


+1 tested and working!

So I'm going to guess you're talking about:

[jwboyer@yoda devel]$ koji latest-pkg dist-f11 gdm libXau
Build Tag Built by


gdm-2.25.2-19.fc11 dist-f11 rstrode
libXau-1.0.4-4.fc11 dist-f11 ajax

?

Hey guys, this update backfired:

[09:19:19] <yaneti> halfline: the gdb reolvalbe-hostname seems to mess up
xauth list :0.0 , which in turn breaks ssh X forwarding
and su -
[09:19:55] <yaneti> err, shoud have benn gdm use-resolvable-hostname.patch

[20:32:08] <halfline> yaneti: ugh
[20:33:00] <halfline> yaneti: can you file it? i'll have to fix gdm a
different way

[23:57:14] <halfline> yaneti: care to give
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1241
884 a whirl when it finishes?

[04:50:16] <yaneti> halfline: fixed those two issues for me. thanks

Would you guys mind tagging 2.25.2-20. It achieves the "don't depend on hostname for authentication" functionality in a more complicated way (without depending on X doing the right thing with localhost)

3's a charm?

When we updated libXau to back out -4 this broke again because of a bug in g_get_host_name(). I'm working around it in gdm by using gethostname() instead.

Tag gdm-2.26.0-5.fc11 ?

+1 tested and confirmed this fixes it. Please tag, this is urgent.
