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 new support for openSUSE and SLE (sponsored by EuMetSat in Darmstadt, Germany) o new instructions for the translation process thanks to Mark Pedersen-Cook o cross-user X2Go Desktop Sharing working again o handle Active Directory usernames correctly when using SQLite o new man page for x2gogetapps with disclaimer suggested by Stefan Baur o a lot of bug fixes

X2Go Component: x2goserver Version: 4.0.1.19 Status: RELEASE Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2015 21:49:22 +0100 Fixes these bug report(s): 405 632 633 638 644 664 668 671 672 675 676 678 697 698 700 712 715 727 728 770 Changes: x2goserver (4.0.1.19) RELEASED; urgency=medium . [ Mike Gabriel ] that occurs

• New upstream version (4.0.1.19):
  • Use File::Which to detect if sshfs command is available before trying to mount a client-side folder.
  • Be a bit more tolerant when trying to detect if a desktop icon is to be removed (using regexp, not eq).
  • Xsession script: Prevent bash failures when sourcing external bash scripts beyond our scope. (Fixes: #632, #675).
  • x2gogetapps: Support scanning of sub-directories when searching for .desktop files. We allow to dive down one level into subdirs, we on purpose do not recursively dive into the complete subtree. (Fixes: #633).
  • Make man2html an optional tool. Don't fail if it is missing on the build system (required for openSUSE/SLES builds).
  • Fix x2goserver-xsession/Makefile on SUSE. Detect SUSE distro and create Xsession related directory symlinks (xinitrc.d and Xclients.d).
  • Hack for x2goserver-xsession/Makefile during SUSE builds. If directoy /usr/share/doc/packages/brp-check-suse is present, the build env is also considered to be a SUSE system.
  • Trigger Xsession code for SUSE systems (look for /etc/SUSE-brand or /etc/SuSE-release for SUSE system recognition). (Fixes: #671).
  • x2gosqlitewrapper.c: Fix rpmlint error: no-return-in-nonvoid-function. Return the exitcode of execve().
  • Fix gramma in error message (in x2goresume-session).
  • x2gocleansessions: Call x2gormforward also on terminated sessions. This will make sure that re-assigned ports are really available on new session startup.
  • x2golistsessions(_root): Only update session state in session DB if x2goagent's state file really exists. This addresses a problem

   when x2golistsessions gets called via an x2gobroker-agent. The
   x2golistsessions script may show session states (--all-servers) of
   sessions on other servers that have session states files on their

remote /tmp dirs. These files are not accessible for that x2golistsessions script and should simply be ignored. (Fixes: #638). - Provide pam_namespace support for has_agent_state_file() function. - Fix missing session list output if state file does not exist on the machine that runs x2golistsessions(_root). - Accept more verbose "DENY" output from x2godesktopsharing. - Make sure that all "su"-to-user-contexts use /bin/sh for wrapping around the executed command (in x2gocleansessions and x2golistsessions_root). - Also enforce /bin/sh as shell in su command in x2goprint. - README.i18n: Add file that explains the translation workflow for this package. Thanks to Mark Pedersen-Cook for drafting this file. - Make SSH agent forwarding work after having reconnected via SSH and having resumed a session. (Fixes: #672). Thanks to Robert Siemer for coming up with that idea. - Fix cross-user X2Go Desktop Sharing after being broken by implementing clipboard mode feature (and probably other code changes). - Document session startup / resumption failures (and their reasons) in server-side log output. - Handle AD domain users gracefully when X2Go is used with SQLite DB backend. (Fixes: #664). - Improve sanitizer, use 'x2gosid' sanitizer for session IDs everywhere. Drop unused 'pnixusername' sanitizer in 4.0.1.x release of X2Go Server. - Allow usernames in session IDs of length 48 chars. - Start sshfs with a timeout of 30 seconds (because it never finishes if something is wrong with the client-side TCP socket). Also remove/unmount mountpoints erroneously registered sshfs mountpoints if sshfs command times out. Furthermore, print errors to STDERR (not STDOUT). (Fixes: #405). - Handle execution of ss command from Perl script x2golistdesktops in a way that not only works on Debian, but also on Fedora et al. (Fixes: #727). - Provide legacy support for old File::Path packages in x2godbadmin. (Fixes: #715). - Fix wrong evocation of x2gosyslog ("error" -> "err"). - Use "undef $dbh" instead of "$dbh->disconnect()". Fixes SQLite3 issues on SLE 11.x. - Only call $dbh->sqlite_busy_timeout() if the $dbh object is capable of that. Works around a too-old DBD::SQLite package on SLE 11.x. - Legacy for applications (and X2Go scripts) that expect $SSH_CLIENT to be set in the X2Go session's environment. (Fixes: #644). - Add man page for x2gogetapps. Weave into that a security / disclaimer message as proposed by Stefan Baur. (Fixes: #728).
