[X2Go-Announcement] X2Go Thin Client Environment (1.1.0.1) released
by Mike Gabriel 22 Nov '13

22 Nov '13

Dear all, the X2Go project is proud to announce a new release of the X2Go component ,,x2gothinclient''. This release contains many bug fixes for the 1.1.0.0 release. Also several new features have been added, thanks to the Rohloff AG for supporting this development step. We highly recommend re-creating your X2Go TCE chroot image with the x2gothinclient_create command. The X2Go TCE builds against Debian squeeze / wheezy. Also with Debian jessie I have seen good results, but as Debian jessie (aka testing) undergoes permanent changes, trying to build the X2Go TCE based on Debian jessie will be an endeavour at your own risk. Those who will test the X2Go TCE, please please please give feedback!!! X2Go Component: x2gothinclient Version: 1.1.0.1 Status: RELEASE Date: Fri, 22 Nov 2013 23:51:33 +0100 Fixes these bug report(s): 300 301 Changes: x2gothinclient (1.1.0.1) RELEASED; urgency=low . [ Mike Gabriel ] * New upstream version (1.1.0.1): - Switch to VT-7 on TC shutdown. - Syntax fix in x2gousbmount script. - Make ~x2gothinclient rw-able on TCE machines. Thanks to Peter Schneider for pointing at this. - Remove chroot bootstrap cruft when finished with creating the TCE chroot. - Deactivate serial line terminals on X2Go thinclients. - Install TCE dependencies via meta-package x2gothinclient-chroot. - Move init scripts from debian/ folder into upstream folders. - Provide x2gothinclient-chroot.init script that tweaks the chroot during thin client startup. - Patch /etc/init.d/checkroot-bootclean.sh during TCE creation to avoid failures when clean tmp files on the read-only NFS root-fs. - Work around Debian bug #729373 during TCE creation. Replace alsa-utils init script and ALSA's utils.sh (for Debian wheezy+jessie chroots). - Refrain from using "~<user>" when launching X2Go Client as it cannot handle it, yet. Use "~" instead (handable by X2Go Client >= 4.0.1.2). - Tweak the /etc/os-release more comprehensively. - Update initramfs at the very end of the TCE creation. - Do not over-mount /run as tmpfs. This is already done by the Debian boot process. - Monitor mounted USB devices via ~x2gothinclient/mounts (and not via deprecated location /var/run). - Add TC_NONINTERACTIVE (commented out) to x2gothinclient_settings config file. - Add syslog support to x2gousbmount. - Install radeon and i915 kms/drm module into initrd image for Debian (>= 7). * debian/control: + New bin:package x2gothinclient-chroot. + Make sure x2gothinclient-chroot pulls in editing tools like mc, vim, less via Recommends: field. + Depend on x2goclient (>= 4.0.1.2-0~). + Suggest some helpful firmware packages (also from non-free) in bin:package x2gothinclient-chroot. . [ Arnold Krille ] * New upstream version (1.1.0.1): - Extend x2gothinclient_shell to run anything given as arguments and fall back to $TC_SHELL when nothing is given. (Fixes: #301). - Allow non-interactive execution of x2gothinclient_create. (Fixes: #300).

Dear all, the X2Go project is proud to announce a new release of the X2Go component ,,x2goserver''. New gains of this version of ,,x2goserver'' are: o Allow sudoed commands under KDE. o DB fixes around session suspension / termination. o Published applications: don't show 1x1 px window on some local desktop shells. o Make umask for client-side folder shares configurable in x2goserver.conf. o Avoid using the which command. o Prohibit X2Go usage for the user root when in PostgreSQL mode. o Fix keyboard detection (keyboard type: auto) when resuming sessions.

[ Orion Poplawski ] * New upstream version (4.0.1.7): - Install Xsession file as executable, make Xsession.d directory location configurable during build process, do not create unused Xsession.options. (Fixes: #278). . [ Mike Gabriel ] * New upstream version (4.0.1.7): - Fine-tune x2goserver-xsession/Makefile: if /etc/X11 has Xsession.d and/or Xsession.options they get symlinked into /etc/x2go. Otherwise Xsession.d and Xsession.options are created under /etc/x2go as empty dir/file. (Fixes: #278). - Fix automatic keyboard setup (via x2gosetkeyboard) while resuming a session. (Fixes: #285). - Provide sudoers.d/x2goserver file that allows sudoed commands under KDE (by pertaining the env var QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM. (Fixes: #276). - With PostgreSQL as session db backend, prevent the root user from launching sessions. Also, prevent x2gouser_root from being added as a PostgreSQL user. (Fixes: #310). - Execute DB status changes as late as possible during suspend / terminate. - Start/resume rootless sessions without geometry parameter. Esp. using X2GO_GEOMETRY=fullscreen for rootless sessions lead to an extra 1x1 px session window (nxagentCreateIconWindow in nxagent's Window.c). - Typo fix in x2goruncommand (for MATE session startup). * debian/control: + Update LONG_DESCRIPTIONS. + Raise Standards: to 3.9.4 (no changes needed). + Move xfonts-base to Recommends: field of bin:package x2goserver. * debian/x2goserver.init: + Make init script LSB compliant. . [ Helmer Teles ] * New upstream version (4.0.1.7): - Make umask that is used when mounting client-side folders via SSHFS configurable in x2goserver.conf. (Fixes: #331). . [ Jürgen Hötzel ] * New upstream version (4.0.1.7): - Use bash-builtin 'type' instead of to be avoided 'which'. (Fixes: #305). . [ Oleksandr Shneyder ] * New upstream version (4.0.0.6): - Fix x2goruncommand: "type -P $cmd" can create new lines in EXEC variable if command have the arguments wich have same names as existing commands, for example "rdesktop -k nl" -> "/usr/bin/rdesktop\n/usr/bin/nl". Now we splitting $cmd and taking only first part.
