I have lightdm 1.26.0-4 installed on debian 10.6 Buster. No matter what I do, lightdm runs on the local machine: /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg :0 -seat seat0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten tcp vt7 -novtswtch I had a line in /etc/inittab: y:5:respawn:/sbin/getty -n -l /root/choosehost.sh 38400 tty7 to call a choosehost.sh script that could let me choose: /uxr/bin/X vt7 -once -listen tcp -query $host -ac This doesn't get run.? It used to work in an older version of debian without lightdm. Then I tried two lines in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf: xserver-command=/usr/bin/X vt7 -once -listen tcp -query Thehostname -ac xserver-allow-tcp=true This is ignored, just runs the local Xorg above. I added /etc/lightdm/Xsession with: #! /bin/bash /usr/bin/X11 vt7 -once -listen tcp -query Thehostname -ac No Effect! Is there any way to get this to work with lightdm?
