    F22 wont let me connect over TCP

    Hi
    in previous fedoras, to run an application, I had to edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf and set:
    [security]
    DisallowTCP=false

    Now in Fedora22, this no longer works. F22 seems to be ignoring that option.

    worst of all, it means I cant run my application which I use for my job, all day. So it's a huge problem for me.

    Is anyone aware of a solution or shall I just downgrade to F21 or switch to centos 7 - neither of which seem to have this problem

    thanks

    May be because by default in f22, GDM uses wayland?

    Try edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf and uncomment:

    #WaylandEnable=false


    Then reboot

    I found this arch thread. Someone with same problem as you fixed by replacing gdm with lightdm:

    However it sounds like a bug which should be reported.

    Re: F22 wont let me connect over TCP

    ah seems it was reported as a bug back in May

    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1226084#c1

    unfortunately I need to work, and a fix doesnt seem to be forthcoming (maybe in Fed23?)
    eitherway I've had to bow out and go for F21
