X2Go Client (4.0.2.1) released
by Mike Gabriel 11 Jul '14

11 Jul '14

Dear all, the X2Go project is proud to announce a new release of the X2Go component ,,x2goclient''. New gains of this version of ,,x2goclient'' are: o New command line options: --keep-trayicon, --hide-foldersharing, --close-disconnect (see below for details) o Fix FTBFS on arm64 architectures o Fix X2Go Client icon in Mac OS X's docker o Many many improvement around the Windows version of X2Go Client (thanks to Michael DePaulo for giving so much of his energy and time into the MS Windows maintenance of X2Go Client). X2Go Component: x2goclient Version: 4.0.2.1 Status: RELEASE Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2014 12:23:59 +0200 Fixes these bug report(s): 235 364 365 421 478 498 502 514 528 Changes: x2goclient (4.0.2.1) RELEASED; urgency=low . [ Mike Gabriel ] * New upstream release (4.0.2.1): - Fix FTBFS on arm64 (and others) architecture. (Fixes: #498). - Only show session name in notification bubbles with debugging enabled. (Fixes: #364). - New command line option (--keep-trayicon). With that options set, we force X2Go client to only use the default "accelerated X" as system tray icon (and prohibit usage of the session's icon as tray icon). (Fixes: #365). - Provide more meaningful messages on SSH errors (host pub key not found, export pub key not found, authorized_keys file not found). For SSHd startup failures provide different messages on Windows and non-Windows machines. (Fixes: #235). FIXME: add detection code to report SSH daemon startup failures. - Add new cmdline option --hide-foldersharing. If used, all GUI elements related to exporting client-side folders to X2Go sessions get hidden. (Fixes: #514). - Update COPYING file (to update FSF address). * debian/control: + Add dbg:package x2goplugin-dbg. . [ Clemens Lang ] * New upstream version (4.0.2.1): - Re-add Info.plist file (which got removed by accident in commit 91cf6c6). (Fixes: #502). . [ Oleksandr Shneyder ] * New upstream release (4.0.2.1): - Hide GSSAPI options on direct RDP connections. (Fixes: #478). - Search X-Server in /Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app on Mac. - Wrong cmd line option throw error dialog if running not from terminal. - Add command line option "close-disconnect", which make client close after session is disconnected. - Don't start pulse on Windows, until we really have to start a session that requires pulse support. - Check if sound is activated before starting pulse. - Fix starting sshd on Win XP. (Fixes: #421). - Fix "fullscreen" mode on Windows 7 with multiple monitors. . [ Mike DePaulo ] * New upstream release (4.0.2.1): - Windows: Prevent high PulseAudio CPU usage on Windows XP by lowering PulseAudio's CPU priority from "high" to "normal" on XP specifically. Also do so on Windows Server 2003 (R2) (Fixes #526) - Windows: Enable PulseAudio log when --debug is passed. - Windows: Fix compatibility with current PulseAudio master branch - Windows: Reduce size of NSIS installer by switching to lzma solid compression - Windows: cygwin packages (inluding patched OpenSSH 6.6.1p1-3) updated from latest versions as of 2014-04-08 to latest versions as of 2014-06-09. This includes openssl 1.0.1h-1, which fixes the 6 CVEs announced on 2014-06-05. (Cygwin openssl was also individually updated to 1.0.1h-1 in 4.0.2.0+build4.) This also includes migrating from libjpeg to libjpeg-turbo, which reduces CPU usage of nxproxy.) - Windows: Download and compile nx-libs-lite from the release tarball, rather than from git, so that the patches are actually applied - Windows: nx-libs-lite updated from 3.5.0.22 to 3.5.0.27 (linked against aforementioned cygwin package versions) - Windows: Win32 OpenSSL updated from 1.0.1g to 1.0.1h, which fixes the 6 CVEs announced on 2014-06-05. (Win32 OpenSSL was also updated to 1.0.1h in 4.0.2.0+build3.) - Windows: VcXsrv (XP Compatible) updated from 1.14.3.1 to 1.14.3.2. Fixes CVE-2014-0209, CVE-2014-0210, and CVE-2014-0211 (VcXsrv was also updated to 1.14.3.2 in 4.0.2.0+build2.) - Windows: Switch from regular NSIS 2.46 to Unicode NSIS 2.46.5 (Fixes: #528) Regards, <release-manager> -- DAS-NETZWERKTEAM mike gabriel, herweg 7, 24357 fleckeby 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…

Cooperation of X2Go and QVD for NX maintenance
by Mike Gabriel 09 Jul '14

09 Jul '14

Dear all, I recently got in contact with Nicolas Arenas Alonso and Nito Martinez from the Quindel group (located in Spain) [1]. Those guys bring forth a software product called TheQVD (The Quality Virtual Desktop) [2]. The project does similar things that X2Go does. In fact, they use NX 3.5 from NoMachine internally like we do in X2Go. Already a year ago, I noticed their activity on TheQVD and thought.. "Ahaaa!?!". Now, a couple of weeks back we received a patch for libxcomp3 that fixes an FTBFS (fails to build from source) for nx-libs-lite against Android [3]. Furthermore, I noticed that the developers from TheQVD starting pulling in X2Go's version of NX [4] into their developing Git [5]. That opportunity I used to get in contact with the patch provider of the Android patch (Nito Martinez). After having exchanged several mails, we have decided to join forces on the maintenance of nx-libs (aka NX redistributed). We (speaking with my X2Go release manager hat on) are happy to have found another partner who is focussed on pushing forward the NX development (and possibly also the rebasing of NX against latest X.Org). Current common interests are: o bring NX to mobile devices o make playing multimedia content enjoyable inside NX sessions o fix open issues in NX o port NX to latest X.Org code base light+love, Mike (aka sunweaver) [1] http://qindel.com/ [2] http://theqvd.com/ [3] http://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=339 [4] http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=nx-libs.git;a=summary [5] https://github.com/theqvd/qvd-nx -- DAS-NETZWERKTEAM mike gabriel, herweg 7, 24357 fleckeby 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…
