Hi,
I'm trying to get this to work since a few days without any success.
I've read that it's now required to not only start X without "-nolisten tcp", but to explicitly add "-listen tcp".
So I changed /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc to read:
exec /usr/bin/X -listen tcp "$@"
It does work now when I start x manually with startx.
For GDM, I also changed /etc/gdm/custom.conf to
[security]
DisallowTCP=false
But it still doesn't work. Even "-nolisten tcp" is added to the first instance, the 2nd is just missing the "-listen tcp".
Being desperate and basically without any knowledge about all this, I also did a full grep on /etc and /usr and couldn't find anything containing "nolisten" except for documentation and binaries.
I also changed WaylandEnable to false to see whether it makes any difference or not on how X is started.
I couldn't figure out where the X parameters GDM uses to start X come from. It seems xserverrc isn't used?
When X is started via gdm, I have the following processes:
root 4637 0.0 0.1 201432 89204 tty1 S+ Jul15 0:09 /usr/lib/xorg-server/Xorg vt1 -displayfd 3 -auth /run/user/120/gdm/Xauthority -nolisten tcp -background none -noreset -keeptty -verbose 3
root 4849 0.2 0.2 550492 156220 tty5 S+ Jul15 2:44 /usr/lib/xorg-server/Xorg vt5 -displayfd 3 -auth /run/user/500/gdm/Xauthority -background none -noreset -keeptty -verbose 3
I'm unable to figure out where else to look for a solution.
It would be great if someone could help me out.
Thanks a lot!
Cheers,
Max

In the meanwhile, I gave up and switched to lightdm.
After changing /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[SeatDefaults]
xserver-allow-tcp=true
xserver-command=X -listen tcp
it works as expected.
Not marking the topic solved as the issue with GDM is still there.
