XDMCP - Unxmaal - 10-20-2018
Anyone have a link or gist of the proper method to connect to IRIX 6.5.30 via XDMCP from XQuartz on a Mac?
Or at the least, some other method for remotely viewing the whole IRIX desktop?
I've found a lot of old, fragmented advice, but nothing that is complete and nothing that has yet worked.
RE: XDMCP - Unxmaal - 10-21-2018
I was able to get a remote desktop working with vnc.
I installed tightvnc from nekodeps.
I modified /var/X11/xdm/Xservers to add an additional server for VNC:
:4 secure /usr/nekoware/bin/Xvnc :4 -depth 24 -geometry 1280x720
xhost +
Stop and start xdm:
/etc/init.d/xdm stop
/etc/init.d/xdm start
Set the vnc password
vncpasswd
Run vncserver on :4 (as root)
vncserver :4
Tail the log:
tail -f ~/.vnc/blue\:1.log
On my Mac, I used Chicken of the VNC to connect to my O2's IP on display 4.

thanks for the info
RE: XDMCP - necron2600 - 10-21-2018
On a mac (tested on 10.6.8 with Xquartz 2.3.6 though...)
Xnest -kb -ac -query 192.168.1.222 :1 -geometry 1200x700
Where 192.168.1.222 is your IRIX system (assuming it is setup to respond to XDMCP)

Ok I tried following this guide getting nowhere.
On my Mac I press the cmd+k type in the vncserver. all it say is "Connecting..."
on my windows I use the tightvnc client it opens the login screen for octane computer I see the icons start loading and then it disconnects immediately.
I don't get any log file in /.vnc/computername:1 (I set it to 1 instead of 4 trying different things.)
if I start normal vnc server everything works but I don't get desktop because no clue what to enter in the startup script.
from /usr/adm/SYSLOG. (changed it over to :0 removing the default one (Because I don't have monitor for the computer anyway))

RE: XDMCP - eAkGBG - 10-22-2018
ok I tried something
Xephyr -query 192.168.1.4 -screen 1280x1024 -br -reset -terminate :2
It just worked connected me to xdm letting me login and use the system. So now all I need is to remove vnc then.

these are the lines in /etc/ssh/ssh_config
that are needed to be uncommented or added to allow ssh to connect with old version I had installed on the sgi machine.

RE: XDMCP - GeekLucanis - 11-21-2018
I tried this guide, and i got to the point of running vncserver, and IRIX errors out saying couldnt find Xvnc on your PATH, yet Xvnc is in bin.
