Project page update on Launchpad
by Mike Gabriel 17 May '11

17 May '11

Hi devs, this project descpription page desperately needs an update: https://launchpad.net/x2go It might even be that it is redundant with this project page: https://launchpad.net/~x2go Who has access to the above link? Who can change it? Alternatively, who can provide me with access? Heinz?

Hi Alex, Heinz, most X2go scripts (e.g. in the x2goserver package) lack copyright headers at the beginning of each individual script. I volunteer to add them, but I just remembered that Heinz wrote about moving to AGPL. Thus: 1) The X2go code should have copyright+license notices at the beginning of each file, individually and... 2) before adding those headers it would be optimal to change the license (if appropriate)... If you give me instructions (what project shall have what license), I can commit work to these changes (Fleißarbeit).

offline bug tracking for X2go
by Mike Gabriel 17 May '11

17 May '11

Hi all, (including Jonas Smedeguard in Cc:) in the discussion around X2go bug tracking I would like to make people aware of this overview of offline bug trackers: http://heapkeeper-heap.github.com/hh/thread_298.html My favorite in the list of offline trackers currently is ,,ditz''. Maybe we should start thinking about offline bugtracking as an option for X2go. The great disadvantage is that people cannot not send e-Mails to the tracker. The advantage is the easy-to-handle command line interface for filing/editing bugs plus a complete VCS/Git integration.

Guacamole and x2go.
by Vasilica Petcu 17 May '11

17 May '11

Hello to all, I'm interested in a possible html client for x2go. There is this project, Guacamole, which implements the HTML client for VNC protocol. Guacamole works as a wrapper for native client libraries, and has a extensible architecture, allowing to implement other protocols besides VNC. It does a tunneling via a Java Servlet. As I spoke with the developers, it is pretty easy to implement another protocol as long as there is already a native lib available. if you're interested I am available to start working on this, with the help of x2go developers and guacamole developers to implement this protocol for the guacamole project, so we all can have the benefit of a html client. Best regards, Vasilica Petcu

x2gousers group membership still a requirement on x2goserver?
by Mike Gabriel 17 May '11

17 May '11

Hi Morty, Reinhard, as you have done the last implementation (perlsuid etc.) around X2go server I have a question on that. Is group membership in the posix group x2gousers still a requirement with the latest x2goserver.git code? Thanks, 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…

Re: [X2go-dev] [X2go-commits] - X2go Client branch, master, updated. 3.0.1.18-7-g516729d
by Reinhard Tartler 17 May '11

17 May '11

I don't think that putting this configuration data about your particular build environment in this x2go branch is particular good idea. Better keep this data where it belongs, in your build environment and scripts. Moreover, could you please enable commit diffs, not only summaries? Thanks.

--password option for pyhoca-cli
by Mike Gabriel 17 May '11

17 May '11

Hi all, pyhoca-cli is a Python command-line client for X2go based on python-x2go. Initially there was a --password option with the script that allowed to script X2go session and pass-on a cleartext password. Heinz made me aware of the security breach concerning clear text passwords at the command-line (ps aux | grep --password, I complete was unaware of that at that time... ashame...). On his request I had removed the option from the code, immediately. However, inspired bei the rdesktop command (which allows a --password cmd arg) I added code to pyhoca-cli that allows to give --password at the command line or from within scripts without risking security (I hope). pyhoca-cli now rewrites the process title as shown in ps aux output and replaces the actual password by "XXXXXXX". I would be greatful if someone with Python knowlegde could cross-check the following commits: http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=pyhoca-cli.git;a=commitdiff;h=3ec0c5db1f8eb5c… http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=pyhoca-cli.git;a=commitdiff;h=bdf71da2a41cbcd… Thanks, 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 app integration into application menu
by Mike Gabriel 16 May '11

16 May '11

hi all, hi esp. devs, the LinDix company in the Netherlands has asked me to work on another project in the context of X2go. A couple of weeks ago we discussed possibilities of approaching the usage of X2go in SaaS environemts (that is: not ,,Desktop as a Serice'', but Software as a Service, meaning single, dedicated applications in this context). The vision is: (a) to have a server-side X2goSSH service similar to OpenSSH that can be configured via ACLs so that remote application can be granted/denied to specific users and/or specific groups. Opposed to OpenSSH this X2go service will be able to restrict the execution of remote (server-side) commands very pedantically. (b) to provider X2go remote apps through the programmes' menu on your local desktop In this mail I will address vision (b) in detail: ==================== For embedding X2go Apps (single remote application provided via X2go in rootless mode) into the desktop application menu or for providing them as desktop links the basic ideas could be listed as follows: o all desktop links / menu links to X2go apps will launch an instance of pyhoca-gui o only the first click on such an X2go app will load the full pyhoca-gui application (as first pyhoca-gui instance) o all other clicks will launch pyhoca-gui in interprocess-communication mode - every secondly started pyhoca-gui will notify the firstly started pyhoca-gui about what to do - this will probably be approached via UDP communication (so that it will be available on Windows as well, no unix file sockets on Windows) o the first pyhoca-gui instance will listen to incoming requests and process them, such as - connect to another server and... - (...) start application A or B or C With X2go embedded apps it will be possible to compose a desktop as a mixture of locally installed applications and remote (SaaS) applications on Windows and Linux.
