Hi Peter,

If it is the Ubuntu machine you're having difficulty logging-in to, then on
the Ubuntu machine you will need to check your login manager (probably GDM)
to see if it allows remote logins by XDMCP.

On a plain vanilla Ubuntu you can get there by:

System -> Administration -> Login Window -> (Enter password) -> Security ->
Untick "Deny TCP connections".

Grant.
