Starting to get x2go into Ubuntu Oneiric
by Stéphane Graber 19 May '11

19 May '11

Hello, Last week in Budapest at the Ubuntu Developer Summit, we discussed the next steps for WebLive[1] in Ubuntu. One of the things we identified as really important is to move away from FreeNX and use X2go instead as it's a much more active project. Last week I already got our application servers running with both FreeNX and X2go and I have some experimental integration code for the Ubuntu Software Center that I'll continue working on over the next few weeks. One of the things we need to do before we can use x2go by default for WebLive is getting it into the Ubuntu archive and at least for the client part into the "main" component (supported set of packages). Today, I'm working on updating our nxproxy, libxcomp and libxcompshad packages to their latest upstream releases (3.5.0), merging the excellent packaging work the x2go team has been doing. Next on my list will be to get python-x2go into the Ubuntu archive as that's what we'll be using for our client integration (Ubuntu Software Center is in python) and finally I'll be working on getting the x2goserver itself in the repository (lower priority than the rest) so we don't need a PPA to build our servers. I hope to have most packages built for Oneiric in my test PPA (https://launchpad.net/~stgraber/+archive/experimental) so I can do some tests to make sure these don't break anything (including FreeNX/qtnx) and if everything looks good, I'll be pushing these into the archive later this week. Once I'm done and everything works for me, I'll be forwarding the list of packaging changes I had to do (if any) so we can ensure your dailybuilds and the "official" Ubuntu packages are in sync. Thanks for the great work and looking forward to working more with you.

Hi John, again re-including the x2go-dev list. You may choose ,,Reply to all'' when replying to list mails. On Do 19 Mai 2011 02:13:23 CEST John Williams wrote: > I'm not an expert with make.

This appears to install the full x2goserver, yes? x2goserver-one is deprecated. Forget about it... BTW: x2goserver depends on o x2goagent o nxcomp, nxcompext, nxcompshad I will take a look at them (esp. their Makefiles) today.

installing/packaging X2go from tarball
by Mike Gabriel 18 May '11

18 May '11

Hi all, esp. non-deb-distro-packages, I have just set up a page in the X2go wiki that documents, which parts of X2go are installable from Makefile (by calling ,,make && make install''). The first code project I have changed in that way is x2goclient (>=3.0.1.19). The tarball has not yet been released, but the code is already available on git.x2go.org (x2goclient.git project, master branch, still tagged as 3.0.1.18). The other packages will follow in the hopefully not-too-far-away future. Watch the wiki page for updates (at the bottom): http://wiki.x2go.org/tarball_releases_of_x2go Happy testing + packaging, Mike -- DAS-NETZWERKTEAM mike gabriel, dorfstr. 27, 24245 barmissen fon: +49 (4302) 281418, fax: +49 (4302) 281419 GnuPG Key ID 0xB588399B mail: mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de, http://das-netzwerkteam.de freeBusy: https://mail.das-netzwerkteam.de/freebusy/m.gabriel%40das-netzwerkteam.de.x…

X2go stable ppa on Ubuntu Launchpad
by Mike Gabriel 18 May '11

18 May '11

Hi List, A couple of hours ago we have set up a stable ppa for X2go on Ubuntu Launchpad. From our nightly-builds we will pick packages that appear rather stable/successfull/blessed and copy them to the following ppa at Launchpad: ppa:x2go/stable @Ubuntu users: please use this ppa for setting up your systems. Further info can be obtained from the X2go wiki. http://wiki.x2go.org/adding_the_x2go_repository_ubuntu People still using the nightly-builds from ppa:x2go/ppa are on their own from now on... Those packages might be broken from time to time. Please change over to ppa:x2go/stable. Thanks+Greets, Mike -- DAS-NETZWERKTEAM mike gabriel, dorfstr. 27, 24245 barmissen fon: +49 (4302) 281418, fax: +49 (4302) 281419 GnuPG Key ID 0xB588399B mail: mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de, http://das-netzwerkteam.de freeBusy: https://mail.das-netzwerkteam.de/freebusy/m.gabriel%40das-netzwerkteam.de.x…

x2goclient does not build for Debian sid anymore
by Mike Gabriel 17 May '11

17 May '11

Hi all, x2goclient does not build for Debian sid anymore (as of 2011/05/13). This bug may be related to a temporary inconsistency in Debian sid's libc6 (see log excerpt below). But I am not sure... As a work-around, I will upload x2goclient compiled on Debian wheezy as the package available for "deb http://packages.x2go.org/debian sid main". Greets, Mike Here is an excerpt from the build-log: [...] The following packages will be upgraded: libc-bin libc6 libcomerr2 The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed: autopoint dbus libglib2.0-data libmail-sendmail-perl libqt4-opengl-dev libqt4-sql-ibase libqt4-sql-mysql libqt4-sql-odbc libqt4-sql-psql libqt4-sql-sqlite libqt4-sql-sqlite2 libqtwebkit-dev libsasl2-modules libssl-doc shared-mime-info xml-core 3 packages upgraded, 98 newly installed, 0 to remove and 49 not upgraded.

x2goadmincenter -> Git?

17 May '11

Hi Alex, I just saw that there is a tarball of the new administration tool x2goadmincenter on www.x2go.org: http://www.x2go.org/deb/x2goadmincenter/ Shall I create a Git project for that? Do you have a Git history to start from?

documentation added: Thin Client Environment without LDAP
by Heinz-M. Graesing 17 May '11

17 May '11

Hello list, today I've added an additional paragraph (display manager mode without LDAP) inside the wiki page http://wiki.x2go.org/installing_x2go_thin_client_environment_debian allowing to install an environment without the need of a LDAP server. This has been requested very often. Please keep in mind, that with this setup you won't be able to use load balancing at all. Regards, Heinz
