Package: x2goserver
Version: 4.0.1.19-0~1064~ubuntu16.04.1
When I try to run the virt-manager application from an x2go session in single
application mode, the entire x2go session appears to crash and is abruptly
disconnected. I am inclined to blame this problem on x2go and not virt-manager
because of the following:
* virt-manager runs just fine without issue under these conditions:
* Running under x2go when using a window manager like jwm or icewm.
* Running under tightvncserver with xrdp.
* Regular X11 forwarding over SSH of virt-manager using MobaXterm.
It is only when it is used with x2go in single application mode that there
are problems.
* Even if it is a virt-manager issue, it seems to me that a misbehaving
application should not cause the entire x2go session to die.
Steps to reproduce:
1. NOTE: Tested from within an Ubuntu 16.04 LXD container on Ubuntu 16.04 host.
2. Install virt-manager package; I used latest 1:1.3.2-3ubuntu1.16.04.1
3. Install X2Go Server as per
http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:installation:x2goserver
I used 4.0.1.19-0~1064~ubuntu16.04.1
4. Also you should have some terminal installed, e.g. rxvt-unicode-256color
package.
5. On a client Windows PC running X2Go Client 4.0.5.0, set up connection,
noting the following:
a. Session type: pick Single application, and "Terminal" from drop-down.
6. Go ahead and connect. At the terminal, type:
virt-manager
Expected behavior: virt-manager should open without incident.
Actual behavior: The rxvt console window disappears. virt-manager does not
open. My connection is disconnected and I get the following error:
---------------------------
X2Go - 50
---------------------------
The connection with the remote server was shut down.
Please check the state of your network connection.
---------------------------
OK
