Dear all, the X2Go project is very sorry for the failing session connections that occurred to those who installed nx-libs aka x2goagent 3.5.0.19. The issue was caused by a broken symlink in the Debian/Ubuntu packages. The issue has now been fixed, we did our best to react as soon as possible. o Bug closures of this release: #156 (see below) X2Go Component: nx-libs Version: 2:3.5.0.20 Status: RELEASE Date: Thu, 28 Mar 2013 20:43:31 +0100 Changes: nx-libs (2:3.5.0.20-0) RELEASED; urgency=low . * Fix faulty symlink path. Make sure that x2goagent symlink does not point to absolute path somewhere within the build environment. (Fixes: #156).

[X2Go-Announcement] Official German support forum: X2Go-Community.org
by Mike Gabriel 27 Mar '13

27 Mar '13

Dear all, this is to announce the site X2Go-Community.org as the official German support forum for X2Go. X2Go-Community.org is mainly run by Tobias Luther and he will do his best to answer your (German) questions on X2Go there. Tobias is an active member of the Linux4Africa project, located in Leipzig, Germany. Tobias and I (on behalf of the X2Go Developers) have worked out a workflow that will assure an exchange between the German(-only) forum users and our Englisch mailing list user community. 1. If technical problems with X2Go occur that need reporting upstream to the X2Go bug tracker (in English), Tobias will support the forum users with it (and maybe even translate their bug reports to English). 2. If issues occur that are beyond Tobias's scope, he will try to get support and help from the (Englisch speaking) international X2Go community and after that report back to the German forum users. 3. Tobias has also offered helping to improve the documentation of X2Go. Originally, X2Go-Community.org offered its own X2Go documentation. This effort will be joined and his work will be merged into the X2Go Wiki. Once that is done, a German extract will be generated from what is available on wiki.x2go.org which then will be presented on X2Go-Community.org. Welcome on the team, Tobias! Thanks a lot for your contributions. light+love, Mike -- DAS-NETZWERKTEAM mike gabriel, rothenstein 5, 24214 neudorf-bornstein fon: +49 (1520) 1976 148 GnuPG Key ID 0x25771B31 mail: mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de, http://das-netzwerkteam.de freeBusy: https://mail.das-netzwerkteam.de/freebusy/m.gabriel%40das-netzwerkteam.de.x…

Dear all, this is to announce the relaunch of the X2Go Project's home page and wiki (for those who have not realized it, yet). If you haven't taken a look at the X2Go Wiki for a while, do so now. Also: for those who would like to contribute documentation. The X2Go Wiki is the right place to provide your support to the X2Go Project. For those who would like to gain write access to the wiki, here [1] we describe the the sign-up procedure (it is a bit unconventional, but safes us a lot of bot registrations). light+love Mike [1] http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:start#help_us_with_our_x2go_wiki -- DAS-NETZWERKTEAM mike gabriel, rothenstein 5, 24214 neudorf-bornstein fon: +49 (1520) 1976 148 GnuPG Key ID 0x25771B31 mail: mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de, http://das-netzwerkteam.de freeBusy: https://mail.das-netzwerkteam.de/freebusy/m.gabriel%40das-netzwerkteam.de.x…
