Mailman 3.x upgrade
by Mihai Moldovan 14 May '25

14 May '25

Hi This is a mass mail to all X2Go lists. During the past few weeks, I have upgraded the mailing list infrastructure from Mailman 2.1 to Mailman 3.0. All subscriptions and archived messages have been imported. Users will NOT need to resubscribe and will continue to get mails. Apologies for the long downtime, but especially the archive imports took weeks to complete and had to be done twice, since the backend used in the first run wasn't suited to the load and amount of data. Unfortunately, the machine is struggling with the load, and web UI operations sometimes take quite long to complete or even time out completely. Just try to refresh and retry the last operation if you see this happening. We will probably want to upgrade this machine in the future. I'll split this mail up into a user, an administrator and a technical part. Feel free to skip the parts that do not interest you. ************************ * USER-VISIBLE CHANGES * ************************ The old Mailman 2.1 infrastructure was quite basic - consisting of a mostly static HTML-based web interface and statically generated HTML pages for each message in the archives. By contrast, Mailman 3.x is much more complex. The web interface is more fancy and also uses Javascript, the archiver is a separate component known as Hyperkitty and everything is plugged together via a Python-based Django uwsgi web service communicating with an internal REST service. Most importantly, you will have to register to the Django-powered Postorius service to manage your subscriptions. Management is now centralized and you won't get password reminders every month for each individual list. To see a list of all public lists, head to https://lists.x2go.org/postorius/lists/ ( https://lists.x2go.org/ will redirect there). To create an account, use the "Sign Up" button/link in the upper right corner of the page. After you have created an account, you will be able to modify all your subscriptions in one place and all your subscriptions should show up automatically (provided the account you signed up for uses the same email address as your subscriptions). This includes setting digest options, pausing mail transfer, subscribing and unsubscribing. If you do not wish to create an account, you can still join or leave mailing lists by sending messages to nameoflist-join(a)lists.x2go.org or nameoflist-leave(a)lists.x2go.org. nameoflist-subscribe(a)lists.x2go.org and nameoflist-unsubscribe(a)lists.x2go.org are aliases that also work. In this case, you will, however, be unable to change other options. Archives can be found at https://lists.x2go.org/hyperkitty - note that if you're logged in to Postorius, you will also be automatically logged in to Hyperkitty. The archives for a list can also be reached by following the Archive link/button in Postorius's mailing list info page. In order not to break old links, the old archive is also still accessible at https://lists.x2go.org/pipermail/ - albeit in a read-only state that will not be updated any longer. I have added information to the index pages to reflect that. ************************** * ADMINISTRATION CHANGES * ************************** Mailman 3.x allows making users administrators or owners of lists, which can then change settings, tend to held messages and the like. Historically, in Mailman 2.1, administration was based upon a password. I have created a super user account named listadmins(a)lists.x2go.org with the known password. This user is owner of all lists and can be used to manage every aspect. As soon as you are logged in to an account that is either and administrator or owner of one or multiple lists, you can use Postorius ( https://lists.x2go.org/postorius/lists ) to manage settings, held messages and the like. Especially the "held message" interface deserves a bit of explanation. By default, 10 messages are shown per page. Each message can be selected/ticked individually or you can all select all messages in a page at once by using the checkbox left of "Subject" in the table header. Clicking the buttons "Accept", "Reject" or "Discard" will carry out the appropriate action on all selected messages. Note, however, that this will not add the sender to any of the auto-accept, auto-reject or auto-discard lists. In order to also add the sender of a message to a specific auto-action list, click on a message. A javascript-based popup will appear with the whole message text. The popup might not show up instantly, especially if the machine is slow, so please wait after clicking on message! If you get an error about the message not existing, refresh the page and retry. The popup includes two buttons at the bottom to show either the full source of the message or just the headers, which can be very handy. Above the "Rejection reason" text box, a "--- Set member moderation ---" drop down menu can be used to select the desired auto action (hold, reject, discard, accept or default processing). After setting this correctly, use any of the "Accept", "Reject" or "Discard" buttons below the text box to submit the result and carry out the desired action. Django has a special admin interface at https://lists.x2go.org/admin that can be used to manage data in Hyperkitty (the archiver), for instance to delete messages from the archive. Usually, you will not need to use this admin interface. ************************* * TECHNICAL INFORMATION * ************************* Unfortunately, Mailman 3.x is horribly broken by default in Ubuntu 24.04 (c.f., https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mailman-suite/+bug/2062960 and other bug reports). The mailman version is too old to be compatible with dependencies it needs, leading to a non-working setup out of the box. Upstream recommends installing mailman via a Python venv, but that would essentially decouple it from the system (and system updates), which I don't like. For this reason, I backported a lot of code to fix the Mailman 3 as installed via the distro packages. However, I've only done so purely on the file system and haven't created modified .deb packages. Please be extra careful when upgrading ymir and please don't update any packages related to Django, Mailman, Hyperkitty or Xapian! This will undo all of my changes and break the whole mailing list infrastructure. I plan on backporting newer versions from Debian Testing or Unstable to Ubuntu 24.04/noble in a proper .deb-based way, but that's not something I can easily do right away. Initially, I set up Mailman and Hyperkitty to use SQLite3 as its database backened, but that turned out to be excruciatingly slow. It's now using the PostgreSQL 16 backend, which works better, but also uses quite a bit of system memory, so the machine's swap space is always in use. When upgrading PostgreSQL in the future, the databases will also need to be migrated correctly. Hyperkitty can optionally use a full-text search engine to provide better search capabilities. Initially, I used Whoosh, but it turned out to be rather resource hungry and, unfortunately, also slow. We're now using Xapian with a fix for long terms, which unfortunately has not been applied upstream yet. ( https://github.com/notanumber/xapian-haystack/pull/238 ) I've enabled Markdown rendering mode in Hyperkitty for x2go-announcements, x2go-dev, x2go-user, x2go-user and x2go-i18n. This crashed badly on some mails yesterday, but should now fall back correctly to the basic text renderer in case of failures. Mihai

Sunday, Dec 29th - Last X2Go and orca e.V. Sponsorship Drive for 2024
by Vorstand ORCA e.V. 28 Dec '24

28 Dec '24

Dear $ALL, We hope you had some happy, relaxing and peaceful holidays over the last few days. As a quick reminder, tomorrow would be a good time to help out X2Go (and orca e.V.) financially. While we have received some donations to the general X2Go donation pool, which we can reassign as needed, donations towards our event budget have stalled for the last 5 months or so - only one recent donation has since shown up. This budget is used to cover costs for having handouts/posters printed for our booths, as well as travel/accommodation costs for our volunteers. It would be really cool if you could send some $$$/€€€/£££/¥¥¥ our way, so we can reimburse our volunteers, who have been covering all the costs up-front our of their own pockets. We can accept donations via PayPal, Credit Card, Direct Debit, giropay/paydirect and wire transfer. Best of all, donations towards X2Go and orca are usually tax deductible for German tax subjects. Until December 29th, non-recurring donations up to 100 Euro made on any Sunday during December 2024 will be matched by Betterplace with an additional 15%. This offer is only valid until a funding pool of 4 000 Euro is depleted (per Sunday). So the earlier you donate on these Sundays, the higher the chance that your donation will receive the bonus. As tomorrow is the last of those Sundays, we hope you are willing and able to chip in, so we can keep hosting and attending events like these. To donate towards X2Go's events (posters, handouts, travel, lodging, …), please use one of these links: * English-language donation form: <https://www.betterplace.org/en/projects/131360?wirwunder=235> * German-language donation form: <https://www.betterplace.org/de/projects/131360?wirwunder=235> Further donation links (infrastructure, X2Go in general, orca e.V.) can be found right at the very top of the X2Go Wiki: <https://wiki.x2go.org/> If times are rough for you and you can't afford to donate, don't feel bad! You can also help us by forwarding this announcement to whomever you seem fit - e.g. your local Linux user group, your social media followers, etc. Another way to help us is to be vocal about what you need X2Go for and how it would hurt you if it would no longer be available - we're trying to apply for public funding, so if you're using X2Go in the public sector (i.e. education, research, health care, energy, industry), please do let us know how X2Go ceasing to exist would affect you. Kind Regards, Stefan Baur, first chairman of the board, Open Remote Computing Association - orca e.V.

X2Go: The Spread 2024 recordings online/X2Go and orca e.V. Sponsorship Drive
by Vorstand ORCA e.V. 14 Dec '24

14 Dec '24

Dear $ALL, Some of you might have missed it, as it wasn't announced on the mailing lists, only on the Wiki, due to massive time constraints/understaffing, but - we did indeed have an X2Go: The Spread 2024 virtual event. Which makes 2024 the first, and probably the only year where we had both an in-person/hybrid "X2Go: The Gathering" and a virtual "X2Go: The Spread" event. You can read up about what you've missed on <https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/events:x2go-spread-2024>, where you will find links to recordings of each day (save for Thursday - that was a live debugging session, so we didn't bother recording it). Here's a quick overview of the presentations/discussions: Monday * X2Go's State of the Union, Part 2 (Part 1 was presented at X2Go: The Gathering 2024) * X2Go's Funding Situation, Part 1: Sovereign Tech Fund Tuesday * Demo: Portable DHCP proxy with X2Go-TCE-live Netboot (a follow-up to X2Go: The Spread 2023's Thursday presentation) * Progress Report re: KDrive on arm64 * OSUOSL Behind-The-Scenes Update Wednesday * X2Go's Funding Situation, Part 2: orca/Betterplace * Gitlab Status Report Thursday * KDrive debugging Friday * Secure Remote Access Even to Old Windows XP Systems - Thanks to X2Go and a Raspberry Pi * NX-libs update * “Mr. Eyebot V2.0” - Quick Explanation and Demo Or, if you want to watch all recordings back to back, head straight over to YouTube, where we have prepared a playlist for you: <https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWDo4PkY3E0My_exV1bT7z5vOA63P5mqN&featur…> If you like what we're doing, now would be a good time to help us out financially.

05 Dec '24

Dear $ALL, This is just a quick reminder that there will be another X2Go and orca e.V. sponsorship drive tomorrow, starting at 09:00 CET. We are still in need of almost 300 EUR to cover this year's hosting costs, and we're a good 2 100 EUR short in the "events" category, covering costs relating having handouts/posters printed for our booths, and travel/accommodation costs for our volunteers. Non-recurring donations up to 100 Euro made on Friday, 2024-12-06 (starting 09:00 CET and ending 23:59 CET) will be matched 100% by the Commercial and Savings Bank Ulm. This offer is only valid until a funding pool of 10 000 Euro is depleted. So the earlier you donate (past 09:00 CET) on this particular day, the higher the chance that your donation will receive the bonus. The donation links can be found right at the very top of the X2Go Wiki: <https://wiki.x2go.org/> To donate towards X2Go's events (posters, handouts, travel, lodging, …), please use one of these: * English-language donation form: <https://www.betterplace.org/en/projects/131360?wirwunder=235> * German-language donation form: <https://www.betterplace.org/de/projects/131360?wirwunder=235> To donate towards X2Go's infrastructure (hosting costs and the like), please use one of these: * English-language donation form: <https://www.betterplace.org/en/projects/131358?wirwunder=235> * German-language donation form: <https://www.betterplace.org/de/projects/131358?wirwunder=235> If times are rough for you and you can't afford to donate, don't feel bad!

Upcoming X2Go and orca e.V. Sponsorship Drives - Starting Tomorrow, 2024-12-01
by Vorstand ORCA e.V. 30 Nov '24

30 Nov '24

Dear $ALL, As we're approaching the end of the year, we can't help but notice that X2Go is running low on funds. We are still in need of almost 300 EUR to cover this year's hosting costs, and we're a good 2 100 EUR short in the "events" category, covering costs relating having handouts/posters printed for our booths, and travel/accommodation costs for our volunteers. It would be really cool if you could send some $$$/€€€/£££/¥¥¥ our way, so we can keep advocating for X2Go and free remote desktop/remote application projects in general, but also to keep our servers running. We can accept donations via PayPal, Credit Card, Direct Debit, giropay/paydirect and wire transfer. Best of all, donations towards X2Go and orca are usually tax deductible for German tax subjects. There are two sponsorship drives coming up, the first of them starting tomorrow: 1) Non-recurring donations up to 100 Euro made on any Sunday during December 2024 will be matched by Betterplace with an additional 15%. This offer is only valid until a funding pool of 4 000 Euro is depleted (per Sunday). So the earlier you donate on these Sundays, the higher the chance that your donation will receive the bonus. 2) Non-recurring donations up to 100 Euro made on Friday, 2024-12-06 (starting 09:00 CET and ending 23:59 CET) will be matched 100% by the Commercial and Savings Bank Ulm.

X2Go: The Gathering 2024 (2024-06-28 to 2024-06-30) will take place at Linuxhotel, Essen, Germany
by Vorstand ORCA e.V. 23 May '24

23 May '24

Dear $ALL, As stated in the subject line, X2Go: The Gathering 2024 will take place at Linuxhotel, Essen, Germany, from Friday afternoon, 2024-06-28, to Sunday afternoon/evening, 2024-06-30 and will, again, be a three-day "work and play" (coding, chatting, sightseeing, socializing) event. X2Go: The Gathering is the annual event where users, admins, and developers (including the i18n volunteers) of X2Go meet face to face, to discuss current X2Go-related issues, fix open bugs, and have a good time getting to know each other. As there is some overlap between X2Go, Arctica, and orca e.V., you can expect to see members of those groups as well. After 4 years spent "in exile" (with a skeleton crew of volunteers meeting at shackspace in 2020, and going completely virtual in the years 2021-2023) due to the pandemic situation, we are finally returning to a full real-life event at Linuxhotel (though we will be streaming/recording our sessions, so you can join in remotely as well). Note that while we do not require masks to be worn, it is still recommended and endorsed, especially in indoor areas. At the time of writing this invitation, and using some educated guesses regarding under-reporting and wastewater analysis, Covid infection rate in Germany is roughly somewhere between 1 out of 1000 and 1 out of 500 people per week. *ATTENTION!* If you want to join us *and* want to sleep in one of the hotel rooms at the Linuxhotel, we need the number of beds and nights you want to reserve, as well as *your full name* (as printed on your passport) and *your nationality* by *2024-06-07* *23:59:59* *CEST*!!! Very important!!! After that date, we cannot guarantee that we will still be able to reserve a room for you! First come, first serve! As single rooms are in short supply, please book your bed in a 2- or 3-bed room, unless you absolutely have to use a single room. Please send your reservation request to <mailto:vorstand@orca-ev.de> with the text "The Gathering" somewhere in the subject and bug me publicly on the X2Go-Project list if you don't receive a confirmation by e-mail after a day or two. If for some reason or other you do *not* need a place to sleep at Linuxhotel, but *do* want to join us, please *still* let us know in advance that you're planning to visit. There's no such hard deadline as for the room reservations, but you will need to "check in" (and there will be an "Admission fee") for our gathering with the Linuxhotel staff, so please *do* let us know in advance. We will be updating the Wiki page <http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/events:x2go-gathering-2024> as more information becomes available. We already have one sponsor for the event - CFD.direct have kindly offered to sponsor the Pizzas on Friday evening - but the more, the merrier, so if you know someone willing and able to co-sponsor the event, please let us know at <mailto:vorstand@orca-ev.de> as well. Whether they wish to send us some "swag" with their company branding, or pledge money that we can use to lower dining and lodging costs for our participants (or to lower their health risks by providing masks, sanitizers and free testing), their sponsorship is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Stefan Baur, "X2Go: The Gathering" event organizer

X2Go KDrive (0.0.0.3) released
by Mihai Moldovan 14 Mar '24

14 Mar '24

Dear all The X2Go project is proud to announce a new release of the X2Go component ,,x2gokdrive''. New gains of this version of ,,x2gokdrive'' are: o support for building on Debian trixie/sid o automatic application of latest patchset if X.Org Server version is incompatible o keepalive pings raised to 120 seconds for web clients X2Go Component: x2gokdrive Version: 0.0.0.3 Status: RELEASE Timestamp: 1710327574 Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2024 11:59:34 +0100 Changes: x2gokdrive (0.0.0.3) RELEASED; urgency=medium . [ Mike Gabriel ] * New upstream version (0.0.0.3): - {patches.xorg/,x2gokdrive.spec}: Add semi-auto-detection of latest available patchset and fallback to that if we don't have a patchset for an exact xorg-server version. - patches.xorg/: add 21.1.10 subdirectory for current Debian testing/unstable with rebased patch set. * debian/Jenkinsfile: + Add file. Initiate CI builds. * debian/control: + Prefer libgl-dev (new dev:pkg to use since bookworm) over libgl1-mesa-dev. + Prefer libxcb-util-dev over ibxcb-util0-dev (not available in Debian trixie anymore). * debian/rules: + Add semi-auto-detection of latest available patchset and fallback to that if we don't have a patchset for an exact xorg-server version. . [ Mihai Moldovan ] * New upstream version (0.0.0.3): - x2gokdriveremote.{c,h}: use a client keepalive timeout of 120 seconds for the web client, keep other clients on 30 seconds. Web browsers throttle JavaScript timers of background tabs for energy saving reasons. Even though Chrome and Firefox refrain from aggressive throttling when tabs use WebSocket connections, this might not always work correctly. Since timers typically coalesce at one-minute intervals, a two-minutes timeout should be fine. - misc: pre-release date update. * debian/rules: + Fix typo: ibxcb-util0-dev => libxcb-util0-dev. Fixes builds on buster. Regards, Mihai Moldovan

X2Go: The Spread 2023 - You (K)Drive Me Krazy! 2023-12-11 to 2023-12-10
by Stefan Baur 11 Nov '23

11 Nov '23

Dear $ALL, In exactly one month, from December 11th to December 15th, we'll have our annual X2Go meeting for users, admins and code contributors to X2Go - once again, 100% virtual/online, so it's a "The Spread" and not a "The Gathering" once more. We're hoping to see you there. We'll post a link to a virtual meeting room in due time, and expect to be streaming/recording the event to YouTube or a similar platform as well. Starting time will likely be 20:00 CET, as last year, unless a significant number of participants requests an earlier start time (say, 18:00 CET or 19:00 CET) - please let me know (off-list, see below for contact details) if you'd like to request an earlier start time. Sadly, in summer, where Covid numbers and weather conditions would have allowed for a real-life meeting, we had a scheduling conflict. And as the numbers are rising again, we cannot in good conscience host a real-life international conference - especially as some of our members have vulnerable household members or are vulnerable persons themselves. The event page (still work in progress) can be found here: <https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/events:x2go-spread-2023> Each evening has one, max. two time slots for a talk/presentation. At the moment, three topics are confirmed: - The usual "X2Go: State of the Union" opening speech - A report looking back at our latest stable X2Go release, which brought KDrive into the stable repository, and showing what still needs to be done Re: KDrive. - A report on how we used betterplace.org for collecting X2Go-related donations in the last 18 months, and an open discussion on how we could improve our usage of this platform. I am also hoping for a certain volunteer to commit to a fourth presentation regarding the latest changes and improvements in NX-Libs - since Arctica/NX-Libs pushed out a new release as well (on which our X2Go release is also based, obviously). This means we will have at least one more open talk slot - possibly more, if the two release reports for NX-Libs and X2Go only take 10-15 minutes each. If nobody volunteers, I might fill that remaining slot with a quick demo of how to netboot X2Go-TCE-Live via iPXE in EFI and legacy mode. But I'm really hoping for more volunteers for talks/demos/presentations - so if you would like to present something X2Go/NX-Libs/Arctica-related, please let me know (again, off-list, see below for contact details). We also have the option to prerecord your talk, in case your schedule doesn't allow for a live presentation and/or your internet connection is too flaky. It would be nice if you're available for a live Q&A round after your talk, though (via text-only chat or audio-only stream is fine). Please note that this time, the orca e.V. annual meeting will take place on the Sunday morning *before* the start of X2Go: The Spread 2023. All orca e.V. members have already received their invitation. To contact me, please do not hit "reply"/"reply to all"/"reply to list", but rather, send a *new* E-Mail to <mailto:X2Go-ML-1@baur-itcs.de>. Kind Regards, Stefan Baur -- BAUR-ITCS UG (haftungsbeschränkt) Geschäftsführer: Stefan Baur Eichenäckerweg 10, 89081 Ulm | Registergericht Ulm, HRB 724364 Fon/Fax 0731 40 34 66-36/-35 | USt-IdNr.: DE268653243

Next Events/Upcoming X2Go and orca e.V. Sponsorship Drive - Tomorrow, 2023-09-05
by Stefan Baur 04 Sep '23

04 Sep '23

Dear $ALL, X2Go will be present at LinuxDay.AT <https://www.linuxday.at/> in Dornbirn, Austria on Saturday, September 30th, and also at the IT-Kongress <https://it-kongress.com/> in Neu-Ulm, Germany, on Thursday, November 9th, 2023. At both events, we will have a booth where we will demo X2Go-KDrive, as well as the HTML5Client beta and X2Go's integration into the latest Remmina client. At LinuxDay.AT, there will also be a talk with a live demo of how you can run a small X2GoServer instance in the Google Cloud, for free, using Tor (The Onion Router) to log in. The talk at IT-Kongress will be a behind-the-scenes look regarding the customer-driven development that led to the creation of X2Go-KDrive. (Note that both talks will be in German, but our booth staff at both events is fluent in German as well as in English.) If you're planning to attend and/or are in the area, feel free to stop by and say hi! Both events are free, though IT-Kongress requires registration. We are trying to cover the costs for our two volunteers/orca e.V. members (Mihai and me) via orca e.V., the registered association that X2Go belongs to, but for that, we will need your help in the form of donations*. You can find our donation pages here: X2Go (English): <https://www.betterplace.org/en/projects/111056?wirwunder=235> X2Go (German): <https://www.betterplace.org/de/projects/111056?wirwunder=235> orca e.V. (English): <https://www.betterplace.org/en/projects/111057?wirwunder=235> orca e.V. (German): <https://www.betterplace.org/de/projects/111057?wirwunder=235> It would be really cool if you could send some $$$/€€€/£££/¥¥¥ our way, so we can keep advocating for X2Go and free remote desktop/remote application projects in general. We can accept donations via PayPal, Credit Card, Direct Debit, giropay/paydirect and wire transfer. Best of all, donations towards X2Go and orca are usually tax deductible for German tax subjects. Note that there is a special sponsorship drive sponsored by our funding platform, betterplace.org: Non-recurring donations up to 100 Euro made on Tuesday, 2023-09-05 (starting 00:00 CEST) will receive 20% on top directly from betterplace.org. Larger donations will receive 20 Euro on top instead. This offer is only valid until a funding pool of 12.000 Euro is depleted. So the earlier you donate on this particular day, the higher the chance that your donation will receive the bonus from betterplace. Kind Regards, Stefan Baur (with his X2Go Event Planner hat on) *If times are rough for you and you can't afford to donate, don't feel bad!
