x2go-keyring
by Mike Gabriel 18 Jul '10

18 Jul '10

Hi there, today I have created Debian/Ubuntu keyring packages for diverse projects. Once I had the template package ready it didn't take much time to create also a package for x2go: x2go-keyring When creating the package I realized a non-standard situation with x2go packages. As I understand it with Debian, you have maintainer keys and keyring keys. The package maintainers sign .deb packages with their private gpg keys (e.g. my key for m.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de) If you have several maintainers within a project then---depending on the changelog entries---the maintainer who has modified a package signs it with his key. That's what's the maintainer keys are for. For uploading packages to a repository a shared generic key for signing repository files (Release.gpg etc.) is used (e.g. debian(a)das-netzwerkteam.de) (Maybe someone can confirm if this key is indeed shared...) However, the x2go repository files are also signed by Alex's maintainer key as are the package files. To my understanding they optimally should be signed by some generic key instead. If people will share their work on one repository site replacing this key by a generic key some time might be useful. Temporarily, in the x2go-keyring package I placed Alex's key as maintainer key as well as keyring key. On install the package will place two files on your system: /usr/share/keyrings/x2go-keyring.gpg /usr/share/keyrings/x2go-maintainers.gpg The key in the x2go-keyring.gpg file are then added to the APT keyring: apt-key add /usr/share/keyrings/x2go-keyring.gpg On package removal the keys in x2go-keyring.gpg are removed from the APT keyring again. I will send a tar.gz to Alex, maybe Heinz and Alex will find a Debian keyring for x2go packages useful and will place it on their server. @Alex: if you send me a generic x2go keyring key (e.g. debian(a)obviously-nice.de) I can add it to the package and send you the updated version.

test version of baikal and some further informations
by Heinz-M. Graesing 18 Jul '10

18 Jul '10

Hello x2gousers, let's start this mail with the good news. After reading the next lines, you'll be able to test the new features of our new release. You'll just have to add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://x2go.obviously-nice.de/deb/ heuler main Please don't remove the main x2go repository. After doing an apt-get update you'll be able to access new versions of x2goclient, x2goserver and the new packages x2godesktopsharing and x2goplasmoid. The new packages are not yet named 3.1 (planned version number of baikal). Little baby seals a called "Heuler" in german, so this is a preview and not the new release. Please keep in mind, that there are still some things need to be done before we can do the "real" release. The new features/changelog: x2goclient old 3.01-5 new 3.01-11 New features: * plugin config options sound, exportfs, adsl, compression, quality, dpi, kbdlayout, kbdtype * embeded mode for firefox plugin * updated interface * support for fs encodings * shadow sessions * xdmcp sessions * commandline option for printing in LDAP mode x2goserver old 3.01-5 new 3.01-9 New features: * support for kde4 plasmoid * support for fs encodings * support for session sharing new packages: x2godesktopsharing x2goplasmoid not updated: x2goclient-gtk Following issues are known: Connections to localhost are known to be problematic. We'll work on this issue. On some distros (with a different zip application to debian) the plugin content is unzipped without the applied user rights. In this case firefox crashes during the visit of a site containing the plugin. You can avoid this by running following command inside the users home directory: chmod +x .mozilla/firefox/[profile]/extensions/x2goplugin(a)obviously-nice.de/x2goclient/x2goclient Don't use the x2goldaptools for generating a LDAP config on top of debian squeeze (debian made a change to gnutls). We'll work on those and on the reported bugs. Please keep in mind, that those packages are meant for testing. In the next days we'll add documentation of the new features to the wiki: http://wiki.x2go.org best regards, Alex & Heinz

GIT for people that have used SVN so far...
by Mike Gabriel 17 Jul '10

17 Jul '10

Hi, for people that have formerly mainly used SVN (like me) I found a very nice tutorial that helps SVN users to find an entry into GIT... Just as a preparation for the upcoming GIT repos... http://git.or.cz/course/svn.html Greets, Mike -- DAS-NETZWERKTEAM mike gabriel, dorfstr. 27, 24245 barmissen fon: +49 (4302) 281418, fax: +49 (4302) 281419 eMail-LeseSchreibStunde: wochentags 8h-10h mail: m.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de, http://das-netzwerkteam.de freeBusy: https://mail.das-netzwerkteam.de/freebusy/m.gabriel%40das-netzwerkteam.de.x…

X2go Python Client Library
by Joerg Sawatzki 16 Jul '10

16 Jul '10

Hey list, the state of Lower Saxony, Germany is currently developing a portable learning environment for schools - see http://www.n-stick.de . Some schools with a good internet connection asked whether it is possible to start and run applications on a remote terminal server within this platform. Apart from that it might happen that the state will run a terminal server cluster that provides a standard set of educational applications ready to use through VPN/web. These ideas and requirements made me have a deeper look at the internals of x2go and I developed a python library that can be used to easily build an x2go client - on win32 and linux. At the moment it is only a code snippet, but it is already quite good for demo purposes. http://github.com/joerg86/pyx2go Have a look at it and tell me what you think. Questions, contributions and feedback are very welcome. Jörg

getting features inside neatx/freenx instead of developing something different
by Eli K. 15 Jul '10

15 Jul '10

Hello x2go list, I've added one of my not so important mail accounts to this list to share my opinion about nx based development in the future. I don't like mailing lists because they only collect spam (to add my opinion to a already discussed topic). I've read some of the mesages here and I've taken a look to this project. I really don't think this is a good idea to work on a not compatible nx server. There are already enough free servers and clients in the world and we all should try to save a amount of compatibility to all projects. There is also a plugin for mozilla (moznx) so you won't need to develop a own. Although i like the idea of the file transport and print module of x2go (pulseaudio too is already possible with opennx). If you would change to python, i would help you to get things to work with neatx/freenx. Then you too would have no problem with the packaging, because everything you need is already done. What do you think about at minimum getting those interesting features build up in external programms, so you can use it with all nx servers (or even vncs)? eli

x2godesktopsharing
by Gerry Reno 14 Jul '10

14 Jul '10

On which side does the package 'x2godesktopsharing' get installed? Client, server, or both? I see it depends on x2goserver but it also depends on 'qt' gui packages. Gerry

SSH Ident File
by --[ UxBoD ]-- 13 Jul '10

13 Jul '10

Hi, had an odd issue today where a user attempted to mount a share, the folder appeared on the X2Go server, but then disappeared. I added a debug line to x2gomountdirs on the server and found that the SSH key it was attempting to use to create the ident file, for the reverse SSH Fuse, was different to the latest one under their ~/.x2go/ssh/ directory ??? Where is that key stored on the local/physical workstation ? or is it encoded into their session cookie ? The workaround was to ask the user to terminate their X2Go session; delete all contents from their local .x2go and the server .x2go directory. When they connected again they were able to mount shares successfully. -- Thanks, Phil
