[X2Go-Dev] Fwd: [Bug 1033876] New: x2go session does not set correct keyboard type

[Orion Poplawski]

This in x2gostartagent seems wrong:


if [ "$X2GO_SET_KBD" == "0" ] || [ "$X2GO_KBD_TYPE" != "auto" ]; then
         $X2GO_LIB_PATH/x2gosyslog "$0" "info" "blocking creation of 
agent's keyboard file ${SESSION_DIR}/keyboard as requested by session 
startup command"
         mkdir -p ${SESSION_DIR}/keyboard
fi

In the normal case, X2GO_SET_KBD is 1 and the type is specified as 
pc105/us or pc105/gb, etc.  Since X2GO_KBD_TYPE != auto it does not set 
the keyboard setttings.

I'm not sure what is trying to be done here.  An earlier comparison is:

if [ "$X2GO_SET_KBD" == "0" ] || [ "$X2GO_KBD_TYPE" == "auto" ];then
 
X2GO_HOST="nx/nx,link=${X2GO_LINK},pack=${X2GO_PACK},limit=0,root=${SESSION_DIR},cache=8M,images=32M,type=${X2GO_TYPE},id=${SESSION_NAME},cookie=$X2GO_COOKIE,errors=${SESSION_LOG},kbtype=null/null,${option_geometry}resize=${X2GO_RESIZE},fullscreen=${X2GO_FULLSCREEN},accept=${REMOTE},listen=${GR_PORT},client=linux,menu=0"
else
 
X2GO_HOST="nx/nx,link=${X2GO_LINK},pack=${X2GO_PACK},limit=0,root=${SESSION_DIR},cache=8M,images=32M,type=${X2GO_TYPE},id=${SESSION_NAME},cookie=$X2GO_COOKIE,errors=${SESSION_LOG},kbtype=${X2GO_KBD_TYPE},${option_geometry}resize=${X2GO_RESIZE},fullscreen=${X2GO_FULLSCREEN},accept=${REMOTE},listen=${GR_PORT},client=linux,menu=0"
fi

So you probably want a == auto.
