Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.7.1) OS: Linux When selecting 'remote login' in kdm and moving the mouse above the chooser window the X server restarts, showing the login screen again. /var/log/everything.log showed: Sep 12 11:28:21 (none) kdm: :0[1399]: Received unknown command 4 from greeter Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Start KDM Select "remote login" Move the mouse in the chooser window Actual Results: X server/kdm restarts Expected Results: selecting remote host possible
Version: KDE 4.7.0 and 4.7.1 OS: Linux I have the same issue: ... Sep 25 09:35:26 kdm: :0[6496] error: Received unknown command 4 from greeter Sep 25 09:35:26 kdm: :0[6496] debug: closed greeter for display :0 Sep 25 09:35:26 kdm: :0[6496] debug: greeter for :0 stopped Sep 25 09:35:26 kdm: :0[6496] debug: starting greeter for display :0 .... So XDMCP is broken in KDE.
Same here, for 4.7.1: Oct 10 16:45:07 foo kdm: :0[6532]: Received unknown command 4 from greeter Oct 10 16:45:07 foo kdm_greet[6775]: Data directory "/var/lib/kdm" not accessible: Permission denied Oct 10 16:45:08 foo kdm_greet[6775]: Cannot load /etc/X11/kdm/faces/.default.face: No such file or directory

Same problem observed in Gentoo, KDE 4.7.3 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=389757
This also happens with Fedora 16/4.7.2 See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=753196
Even though I am still running kde-7.3, reverting to kde-base/kdm-4.6.5-r2 seems to fix this.

I have 2 systems affected. Both amd64 kubuntu 11.10 (KDE 4.7.3) The error message from kdm_greet: > Cannot load /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/faces/.default.face: No such file or directory can be removed by choosing a default user image: (System Settings - Login Screen - Users - User images - User: default) After setting a default image, I still get the kdm error: > kdm: :1[4010]: Received unknown command 4 from greeter
same here with all opensuse 12.1 and latest kde 4.7.4 from upstream repo...
Still present in 4.8.0 :(
FYI Gentoo has resolved this successfully by reverting kdm commit 720b0bfe5fab7142b9683f329b75cf2951b95c8e This basically changes the logic back to as it was in kdm-4.6.5

Is there anything going on with this? It still appears to be broken in Kubuntu Oneiric. Has KDE actually been fixed, or are individual distributions just doing reverts? I'm currently running KDE 4.7.4 but will upgrade to whatever ships with precise.
I confirm the bug, will somone fix the commit ?

Version: KDE 4.8.4 OS: Linux It works! Thank to Oswald.

Hi there, I have Kubuntu Precise, which comes with KDE 4.8.4, and exactly this bug is still there. Why?
I am delighted to report that after not having the feature for over a year, Remote Login from the Greeter is now working again on Suse 12.1/KDE 4.9 Thanks!
I'm very happy to confirm that this feature is working in KDE 4.8.5 installed from https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ppa in Kubuntu 12.04 Precise LTS. Let's hope this version of KDE moves into 'precise-updates' fast.
