x2go client for mac osx
by Ricardo Díaz Martín 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

Hi, Is there somebody with x2go client working in MAC OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard? I have try in two different mac box and I always get the same message info "Can't connect to X-Server. Please check your settings". In settings looks like all ok (path to X11.app in mac osx is ok and verify it got right permissions). X-Server in both macs are installed and running. I have try to connect to nomachine linux server and X works fine. Some tips? Regards, Ricardo Díaz

BUGS: x2godesktopsharing
by Mike Gabriel 28 Sep '11

28 Sep '11

Hi Alex, today I have implemented basic X2go desktop sharing client support in Python X2go. The commit I already uploaded to X2go Git is very basic and needs quite some fine-tuning and testing before I will weave it into PyHoca-GUI. However, with pyhoca-cli it is already possible to test the desktop sharing client code in Python X2go. While working on that I have encountered two problems, though: 1. When the x2godesktopsharing tray applet gets killed by SIGTERM it does neither remove its socket file /tmp/x2godesktopsharing_... nor its lock file... As a consequence, the x2golistdesktops script returns stale desktop sessions resulting from stale x2godesktopsharing lock/socket files. x2godesktopsharing only removes its socket/lock files if the ,,Beenden'' item in the applet's tray menu is clicked. 2. When connecting to x2godesktopsharing the x2godesktopsharing applet always shows wrong username: (a) session already running as user-a, start x2godesktopsharing (b) connect a shadow session to user-a's session (as user-b) (c) user-a then gets asked if it will accept an incoming connection from user-a(!!!!), here it should ask for user-b instead The basic question here is a question of concept. I currently only see this approach: (i) -> pass another parameter from x2gostartagent to x2godesktopsharing (client mode), this parameter will be a representation of the connecting user name (and maybe gecos field?) It would be good to fix both issues some time in the near future. Apart from these two issues x2godesktopsharing works brilliantly. Another cosmetic change could be an improvement of x2godesktopsharing's whitelist/blacklist editor (e.g. add users manually, maybe even add groups manually etc.). But that is rather of a lower priority...

cups-x2go and new x2goserver
by Oleksandr Shneyder 16 Sep '11

16 Sep '11

Hello list, I've made some small changes in cups-x2go to make it work with actual version of x2goserver. The changes are already in GIT. @Mike: the preinst script of obsolete package "x2goprint" has modified sudoers file to allow user x2goprint execute program "/usr/bin/x2goprint". This script has also added a user x2goprint to system: #useradd -s /bin/bash -d /var/spool/x2goprint/ -r x2goprint #mkdir /var/spool/x2goprint/ #chown x2goprint /var/spoo/x2goprint/ #chmod 700 /var/spool/x2goprint/ Now, this job user should do by himself. Creation process of x2goprint is not documented in our wiki. This process should be good documented or made by some configuration script. regards, alex -- Oleksandr Shneyder Dipl.

x2goserver package currently under construction...
by Mike Gabriel 03 Sep '11

03 Sep '11

Hi all, it is not recommended to install the x2goserver package from our nightly builds or our Git today. The package is currently under construction. Work should be finished by tonight (at the latest). Focus of work: x2goprint migration from using sudo to using a setgid wrapper.

With Debian it also works with libxcomp* being installed in /usr/lib. There used to be times when x2go shipped its own NX libs with /usr/lib/x2go as path, but that's not so any more. x2go uses pure NX libs, only x2goagent is a fork of nxagent. > I install just the libs required by x2goagent binary like so: > > mkdir -p /usr/lib/x2go/ > > make World > cp -a lib/Xext/libXext.so* /usr/lib/x2go/ > cp -a lib/X11/libX11.so* /usr/lib/x2go/ > cp -a lib/Xpm/libXpm.so* /usr/lib/x2go/ > cp -a lib/Xrender/libXrender.so* /usr/lib/x2go/ > cp -a lib/Xfixes/libXfixes.so* /usr/lib/x2go/ > cp -a lib/Xtst/libXtst.so* /usr/lib/x2go/ > cp -a lib/Xdamage/libXdamage.so* /usr/lib/x2go/ > cp -a lib/Xrandr/libXrandr.so* /usr/lib/x2go/ > cp -a lib/Xcomposite/libXcomposite.so* /usr/lib/x2go/ > > install -m755 programs/Xserver/x2goagent /usr/bin/x2goagent.original Please check that again. That should not be necessary. It could be misleading if you put it like that in the X2go wiki.

However, there currently are hard-coded path in the x2goserver (server!) script ,,x2goruncommand''.

Hi Ivan, The posting quoted below was a private posting from Ivan to me and I am so free and send my reply to x2go-dev as the documentation of the tarballers on LinuxFromScratch might be interesting to others: http://wiki.x2go.org/installing_x2goserver_linuxfromscratch http://wiki.x2go.org/installing_x2goclient_linuxfromscratch @Ivan: I'll only comment on the wiki pages as I have no time to dive into pyhoca installation now.

Do you have the feeling the make clean works properly with all the code projects? nxproxy: looks ok. x2goclient: qmake should not be needed here, it is in the Makefile.

x2goclient build fails on current Debian sid.
by Mike Gabriel 21 Aug '11

21 Aug '11

Hi Alex, we have problems building x2goclient for Debian sid. I haven't followed changes in Debian sid recently, but I suppose it might be because the gcc maintainers have pulled in a new gcc-4.6 version from gcc SVN (refer to the gcc-4.6 changelog). Here is the error output that occurs during build. Can you fix this? Thanks, Mike <quote> In file included from ../printprocess.cpp:20:0: ../cupsprint.h:54:3: error: 'ppd_file_t' does not name a type make[3]: *** [printprocess.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/cache/pbuilder/pbuilder-mnt/x2goclient-3.99.0.0/client_build' make[2]: *** [build_client] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/cache/pbuilder/pbuilder-mnt/x2goclient-3.99.0.0' dh_auto_build: make -j1 returned exit code 2 make[1]: *** [override_dh_auto_build] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/cache/pbuilder/pbuilder-mnt/x2goclient-3.99.0.0' make: *** [build] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2 </quote> -- 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…

x2goserver release tag 3.99.0.6?
by Mike Gabriel 21 Aug '11

21 Aug '11

Hi devs, there are quite some patches coming in for x2goserver (x2goprint, x2goruncommand, etc.). I would like to make a nano release on the x2goserver (3.99.0.6), tag it in Git (no Git version of the server has yet been tagged) and also push the package towards the stable repositories (main area for packages.x2go.org, stable ppa on LP). Comments?

x2gothinclient patches
by Mike Gabriel 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

Hi Heinz, hi Alex, Heinz told me recently that you found some issues with the x2gothinclient packages and that you just need some time to include them in the Git project. As I have a customer that wants an X2go TCE roll-out here in Kiel (on a Debian Edu system), I am very interested in those improvements and fixes. Could you either incorporate your patches into Git or send me you customized code so that I can pick out the cherries?
