x2gognomebindings/x2golxdebindings
by Mike Gabriel 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

hi all, until now the package x2gognomebindings and x2golxdebindings lead to conflicts when used on the same server. Conflicts did not occur during package installation but during run-time. To be more precise: during runtime when using shared folders (which create desktop icons on your X2go session desktop screen). The described problems mostly were due to name space overlaps in sshfs MIME types and desktop link names for both desktop environments LXDE and GNOME. Yesterday, I have committed some patches to both packages and the x2goserver scripts x2gomountdirs and x2goumount-session that make x2gognomebindings and x2golxdebindings to co-exist with each other on one system very smoothly. Changes that are visible to the user: Desktop icon names (when using GNOME): '_home_mike(sshfs-disk)' -> '_home_mike (sshfs-disk-gnome) or (when using LXDE): '_home_mike(sshfs-disk)' -> '_home_mike (sshfs-disk-lxde) Icons matchin '* (sshfs-disk-lxde)' are opened with pcmanfm (LXDE file browser), icons matching '* (sshfs-disk-gnome)' will be opened with GNOME's nautilus file browser. A full diff can be obtained from X2go git: x2gognomebindings: ------------------ The x2gognomebindings Debian package has been simplified tremendously, now it fully uses debhelper to build the package. git diff 54c5ddc3d01c520c0ee11c9f9a199a48d2d44f9d..7b3fe1e047ea49a18ec2ff8d68a828e80d5009ea x2goklxdeindings: ----------------- git diff eed4b8f31804fb412ffd6cc3385c1fdb942ee55c..d1bb1c99ae77b194b5ccb5d909c1aa17919a1730 x2goserver: ----------- git diff b74e5b69112cc355828974e651dd7f27bdc106a1..ee076cc20cbafd6057ed5541b0746ce150b2ff3 x2goserver/bin/x2gomountdirs x2goserver/bin/x2goumount-session 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…

Changes x2goserver.git
by Mike Gabriel 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

Hi devs, a short summary on changes in x2goserver... First of all: version increment in debian/changelog -> 3.0.99.6. New script x2golistmounts <session_id> -> retrieve a list of mounted shares on a per-session basis (x2goserver-extensions) -> will need that for pyhoca-gui New script x2gofeature <feature_name> -> provide the possibility to query the X2go server for its functionalities e.g. x2gofeature X2GO_PRINTING -> writes ,,ok'' to stdout if x2goserver-printing package is installed, otherwise it writes ,,not available'' to stdout x2gofeature is pluggable, that is you can extend the X2go server core package with extensions, for more details take a look at /usr/share/x2go/x2gofeature.de/ and the x2gofeature man page. x2gofeature can be used by X2go clients to detect server functionality before using a certain command. This is not a security improvement, but a step forward in the realm of server/client communication. Moved x2goumount from x2goserver-compat into x2gognomebindings, with new name x2goumount-session-gnome, adapted x2gognomebindings appropriately to this shift. Moved x2goversion script from x2goserver-extensions into x2goserver core package. Adapted created desktop icons in x2gomountdirs/x2goumount-session to latest changes in x2gognomebindings/x2golxdebindings (will be in a separate mail). Removal of ~/.x2go/C-<session_id> folders on server, in case -> x2goserver is not run in loglevel=debug (/etc/x2go/x2goserver.conf) -> the session has been terminated with x2goterminate-session -> x2goruncommand has run successfully no removal: on x2goruncommand failures or if debug loglevel is set in x2goserver.conf. x2gostartagent: pass an extra argument $USER to x2godesktopsharing, work on the x2godesktopsharing side around this is currently in progress (breaks cooperation of x2goserver with old x2godesktopsharing versions). A full diff of the latest changes can be viewed this way: git diff 6b38d3c94a082d3256d8705195b81dcef761dbd1..2ed8115be0a51a24cdfdb8fb5b691b9adbaabd95 Greets+Best, 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…

recent X2go development
by Mike Gabriel 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

Hi all, over the weekend I have been working on several X2go packages. I will send one per mail per topic to explain shortly, what I have been working on. This mail is to notify brave people that installing from the X2go project's nightly builds repositories (Debian/Ubuntu) currently has real testing characteristics. 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…

x2goserver-printing package
by Mike Gabriel 24 Sep '11

24 Sep '11

Hi all, in a phone conference Heinz, Alex and I have talked about printing not being a very core feature of X2go Server. Esp. the x2goprint use is not needed on X2go Servers that are used without the print facility. Because of this I have made a proposal in X2go Git that move X2go client-side printing support back into a separate package (x2goserver-printing). Please take a look at the committed changes (x2goserver.git) and comment. 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…

Python-X2go and Nagle
by Mike Gabriel 23 Sep '11

23 Sep '11

Hi all, I have just taken a closer look at the graphics forwarding tunnel in Python X2go and the socket option TCP_NODELAY. It was _not_ set... Now it is set as well (similar to x2goclient) and graphical output on the client is fluent like nothing... Thanks again to John for bringing this up!!!

Debian packages + Git temporarily unavailable
by Mike Gabriel 21 Sep '11

21 Sep '11

Hi all, we have a DNS provider transfer running and unfortunately, we made a mistake for the hosts code.x2go.org, git.x2go.org and packages.x2go.org. The Debian package repository and the Git site of X2go are temporarily unavailable due to DNS transfer problems. Depending on your location on the web this problem will last for at max. 48-72h. We apologize for the inconvenience, Mike (and Heinz) -- 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…

Hi all, today I have worked on the x2goserver man pages and got quite a big deal done: http://code.x2go.org/doc/x2goserver/man/man8/ This is an invitation for reviewing the written stuff and reporting any kind of errors or weirdnesses...

cups patch against x2goclient
by Mike Gabriel 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

Hi Alex, x2goclient has been refusing to build against Debian wheezy/sid for a couple of days. I have committed this patch to make it build again: ttp://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goclient.git;a=commitdiff;h=8fefd5263dd350b6… Printing seems to work well with the patch applied. Could you cross-check nonetheless??? A similar error was reported here: http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/commit/6967f9e3fadfff8122809207dc7a99af444f69… 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…
