In some GDM versions, you may have problem making Secure XDMCP connections because the connection address cannot be translated correctly. To use Secure XDMCP, change display manager to 'kdm' or 'xdm'. The following instructions show how to switch your display manager to 'kdm' or 'xdm'.

Note

You are not changing the desktop environment such as Gnome or KDE. This process will simply change the login in screen.


  1. Stop the gdm process using gdm-stop or init 3 command
  2. Start display manager with kdm or xdm command
