We really appreciate the contributions. At a glance, the patch for copy and paste of UTF8 text certainly looks interesting. Also, patches to enable Xinerama and the update of auto tools files could be interesting too. We will certainly need to review and test carefuly before we can decide to accept the patches officially. All the patches related directly to improving NX-x11 and nxagent and how they improve NX technology that NoMachine releases will be looked at. For example, our developers will certainly look at: 017_nx-x11_update-autotools-helper-files.patch 018_nx-x11_update-libtool-ltmain-script.patch 019_nx-x11_expat-build-against-system-libxmltok.patch 106_nxagent_utf8-copy-clipboard.patch 107_nxagent_clipboard-compound-text+small-bed-sheets.patch 108_nxagent_wine-close-delay.patch 109_nxagent_locale-utf8-compound-text.patch 110_nxagent_createpixmap-bounds-check.patch 202_nx-x11_enable-xinerama.patch If we have any further questions, we will contact you.

x2goagent/nxagent crashes reintroduced :-(
by Mike Gabriel 16 Jan '12

16 Jan '12

Hi Alex, Reinhard, the latest nx-libs.git 3.5.0.6 seems to reintroduce the x2goagent crashes again we observed earlier. The problem has also already been re-introduced with nx-libs.git 3.5.0.2 and a separate x2goagent (with its own nx-X11 source tree). We will have to check the patches being re-introduced between 3.5.0.0 and 3.5.0.2. I wil also rebuild nx-libs packages with state of commit http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=nx-libs.git;a=commitdiff;h=aa166550657f3a928f… as this one was definitely the last working/stable state. Simple test: connect from client A -> session A: X2Go server A -> session B: X2Go server B. On session termination of session B (on server B), the session A on server A crashes.

Re: [X2go-Dev] Debian-ITP nx-libs

I am not a developer myself, but we (Debian X2Go Packaging Team) have a developer on board that will sponsor the upload once the discussion returns a positive feedback. People on debian-devel think the freenx project to be dead. It would be a real contribution if you could send a mail to: 655618(a)bugs.debian.org ... and say: Hi! Here is FreeNX calling! We are very interested in this ITP, we are alive and we have been waiting for such a thing to happen. Once nxagent & co are in Debian, finding a sponsor for FreeNX should be surely possible. The problem is NX itself (the large Xorg 6.9 fork within it), not the packages around NX libraries and binaries. > X2Go packaging, is mostly about removing nomachine brand and adding x2go > brand, so I think it can be done in the build process with nx-x11 package. > The nx-x11 package is a dpkg source v3 with multiples tarballs. > Once nx-x11 is accepted is only modify the build script to build the > branded x2goagent. This has changed since yesterday. Oleksandr Shneyder and I have merged x2goagent completely into NX with the following feature: o execute nxagent under the binary name ,,nxagent'' -> launch nxagent with all patches from FreeNX-Team on LP, no branding o execute nxagent under the binary name ,,x2goagent'' -> launch nxagent with X2Go flavor (branding) With today's and yesterday's work we are able to drop 20mb of forked x2goagent code and simple use NX for X2Go directly. If you find some time, please take a look at ,,NX (redistributed)'' http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=nx-libs.git;a=summary We/I would be really really glad if you are interested in joining the ,,NX (redistributed)'' maintenance team. We (Mike, Alex, Reinhard) invented ,,NX (redistributed)'' to provide active usptream support and high reponse levels to security issues and bug fixes being sent in by the distro packaging teams. For Debian we are acting in a dual role as we are upstream and packages at the same time. For others like Fedora & co, we may be upstream with this redistribution project. We also should think about communication. Currently, we use the x2go-dev mailing list for communication about ,,NX (redistributed)''. However, there is quite some X2Go'ish-only noise on that list, as well. If you can live with that, it might be a good idea to subscribe to that list? http://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/x2go-dev The ML language is English, of course. So, these were three requests... 1. Send a short notice to the Debian bug I gave you above 2. Join the NX (redistributed) team ;-) 3. Subscribe to x2go-dev, we may later think about other forms of communication, i.e. a separate ML. BTW: I posted the ITP mail to freenx-team(a)lists.launchpad.net, but it got bounced. Is the list dead? Last question: are you FreeNX upstream? Or FreeNX packager or Ubuntu? Thanks for your prompt reply!!!

PyHoca-GUI 'NoneType' is not iterable
by Blue 13 Jan '12

13 Jan '12

(Apologies in advance if there is a non-dev bug reporting system. I didn't find one on a quick scan and just thought I'd send this to be helpful. Thanks for x2go ... it's shaping up as a nice piece of work!) Some change on the nightly PPA between yesterday and today killed my x2go setup. It's a repeatable bug. My x2go client runs on a heavily tweaked Ubuntu Lucid 64-bit box. It accesses an x2go server running on a vanilla Oneiric 64-bit box. This setup was working yesterday and has not been modified. But now, running pyhoca-gui after an apt-get upgrade, an x2go session authorizes with no problem but cannot launch a session. Logs follow. My very uninformed guess is that the issue is Python 2.7-specific expectations in pyhoca-gui, but that's probably just me being cynical :-) Lucid is constrained to run Python 2.6 and my pyhoca is not in a virtualenv, while my Oneiric is running Python 2.7. I'll switch to using the -stable distro for now, and that will no doubt tide me over. Please let me know if you'd like me to run tests or clarify anything. Or point out the painfully obvious mistake I'm making (gently; I'm a fairly new x2go user. :-) The client console log: || > pyhoca-gui || Xlib.protocol.request.QueryExtension || pyhoca-gui[6563]

Building nx-libs (nx-X11) from tarballs
by John Williams 10 Jan '12

10 Jan '12

Two questions: 1) What is the current status of the great nx-libs rework that was mentioned last November? Is there any solution to building nxcomp, nxcompext, and nxcompshad against the NX libraries rather than the X libraries? (If I have that right?) 2) Why am I getting a compile error when I try to build nx-X11 from the source tarballs at http://code.x2go.org/releases/source/nx-libs/ ? I downloaded all of the tarballs from nx-libs: nx-X11, nxagent, nxauth, nxcomp, nxcompext, nxcompshad, nxproxy I expanded them all into the same directory (nxagent and nxauth actually installed into a subdirectory of nx-X11), then I changed into the nx-X11 directory and ran "make World". The build proceeded well for a long time, but then hit an error: make[5]: Leaving directory `/builds/nx-libs/src/nx-X11/programs/Xserver/miext/damage' making all in programs/Xserver/hw/nxagent... make[5]: Entering directory `/builds/nx-libs/src/nx-X11/programs/Xserver/hw/nxagent' rm -f NXrandr.o gcc -c -g -O3 -fno-strict-aliasing -ansi -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wundef -I. -I../../../../../nxcomp -I../../../../.. /nxcompext -I../../../../../nxcompshad -I../../../../extras/Mesa/include -I../../../../exports/inc lude/X11 -I../../../../include/fonts -I../../mi -I../../include -I../../os -I../../miext/damage - I../../miext/cw -I../../GL/glx -I../../GL/include -I../../../../lib/GL/include -I../../Xext -I../. ./../../include/extensions -I../../../../exports/include/X11 -I../../fb -I../../mfb -I../../render -I../../../.. /lib/font/include -I../../../../lib/Xrandr -I../../../.. -I../../../../exports/include -Dlinux -D__amd64__ -D_POSIX _C_SOURCE=199309L -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOU RCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_GNU_SOURCE -DSHAPE -DXINPUT -DXKB -DXAPPGROUP -DXCSECURITY -DTOGCUP -DXF86 BIGFONT -DDPMSExtension -DRENDER -DRANDR -DXFIXES -DDAMAGE -DCOMPOSITE -DXEVIE -DGCCUSESGAS -DAVOI D_GLYPHBLT -DPIXPRIV -DSINGLEDEPTH -DXFreeXDGA -DXvExtension - DXFree86Server -DXF86VIDMODE -DXvMCExtension -DSMART_SCHEDULE -DBUILDDEBUG -DXResExtension -DX_BYTE_ORDER=X_LITTLE_ENDIAN -DXORG_VERSION_CURRENT="(((6) * 10000000) + ((9) * 100 000) + ((0) * 1000) + 0)" -D_XSERVER64 -DNDEBUG -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO -g -DDDXOSINIT -DSERVER_LOCK -DDDXOSF ATALERROR -DDDXOSVERRORF -DDDXTIME -DMITMISC -DXTEST -DXTRAP -DXSYNC -DXCMISC -DXRECORD -DMITSHM -DBIGREQS -DXF86VIDMODE -DXF86MISC -DDBE -DDPMSExtension -DEVI -DXV -DXVMC -DGLXEXT -D__GLX _ALIGN64 -DRES -DNXAGENT_UPGRADE -UXF86VIDMODE -UXFreeXDGA -UXF86MISC -UXF86DRI -UXFree86LOADER -DNXAGENT_SERVER -DNXAGENT_CONSTRAINCURSOR -DNXAGENT_FONTCACHE_SIZE=50 -DNXAGENT _GLYPHCACHE -DNXAGENT_GLYPHCACHE_SIZE=50 -DNXAGENT_SHAPE2 -DNXAGENT_FIXKEYS -DNXAGENT_CL IPBOARD -DNXAGENT_EXPOSURES -DNXAGENT_FONTEXCLUDE -DNXAGENT_PACKEDIMAGES -DNXA GENT_VISIBILITY -DNXAGENT_WAKEUP=1000 -DNXAGENT_ONSTART -DNXAGENT_SPLASH -DNXA GENT_ARTSD -UNX_DEBUG_INPUT -UPANORAMIX -UDEBUG_TREE NXrandr.c In file included from X/NXrandr.c:64:0, from NXrandr.c:3: ./../../randr/randrstr.h:69:30: error: ‘RRNumberRequests’ undeclared here (not in a function) ./../../randr/randrstr.h:85:5: error: unknown type name ‘xRRModeInfo’ ./../../randr/randrstr.h:477:20: error: unknown type name ‘xRRModeInfo’ ./../../randr/randrstr.h:648:12: error: unknown type name ‘xRRModeInfo’ In file included from NXrandr.c:3:0: Next, I cloned nx-libs.git and tried to build it from the latest git. That build succeeded. I looked at the log of the git build at the same area where the tarball build failed, but there was no NXrandr.c in the git build log. There was an NXxrandr in the git build log (notice the additonal 'x'). But it is not a simple substitution of NXxrandr.c for NXrandr.c. In the same portion of the build log shown above for the tarballs, the git build is trying to compile NXwindow.c. So it looks like something is quite different in the git nx-libs. Did someone add or change some header files or include statements? Did I do something wrong? Or is there a problem with the source tarballs? Here is a portion of the log from the successful build I did of nx-X11 from the git repository, corresponding to the tarball log shown above: make[5]: Leaving directory `/builds/nx-libs-git/nx-X11/programs/Xserver/miext/damage' making all in programs/Xserver/hw/nxagent... make[5]: Entering directory `/builds/nx-libs-git/nx-X11/programs/Xserver/hw/nxagent' rm -f NXwindow.o gcc -c -g -O3 -fno-strict-aliasing -ansi -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wundef -I. -I../../../../../nxcomp -I../../../../../nxcompext -I../../../../../nxcompshad -I../../../../extras/Mesa/include -I../../../../exports/include/X11 -I../../../../include/fonts -I../../mi -I../../include -I../../os -I../../miext/damage -I../../miext/cw -I../../GL/glx -I../../GL/include -I../../../../lib/GL/include -I../../Xext -I../../../../include/extensions -I../../../../exports/include/X11 -I../../fb -I../../mfb -I../../render -I../../../../lib/font/include -I../../../../lib/Xrandr -I../../../.. -I../../../../exports/include -Dlinux -D__amd64__ -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309L -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_GNU_SOURCE -DSHAPE -DXINPUT -DXKB -DXAPPGROUP -DXCSECURITY -DTOGCUP -DXF86BIGFONT -DDPMSExtension -DRENDER -DRANDR -DXFIXES -DDAMAGE -DCOMPOSITE -DXEVIE -DGCCUSESGAS -DAVOID_GLYPHBLT -DPIXPRIV -DSINGLEDEPTH -DXFreeXDGA -DXvExtension -DXFree86Server -DXF86VIDMODE -DXvMCExtension -DSMART_SCHEDULE -DBUILDDEBUG -DXResExtension -DX_BYTE_ORDER=X_LITTLE_ENDIAN -DXORG_VERSION_CURRENT="(((6) * 10000000) + ((9) * 100000) + ((0) * 1000) + 0)" -D_XSERVER64 -DNDEBUG -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO -g -DDDXOSINIT -DSERVER_LOCK -DDDXOSFATALERROR -DDDXOSVERRORF -DDDXTIME -DMITMISC -DXTEST -DXTRAP -DXSYNC -DXCMISC -DXRECORD -DMITSHM -DBIGREQS -DXF86VIDMODE -DXF86MISC -DDBE -DDPMSExtension -DEVI -DXV -DXVMC -DGLXEXT -D__GLX_ALIGN64 -DRES -DNXAGENT_UPGRADE -UXF86VIDMODE -UXFreeXDGA -UXF86MISC -UXF86DRI -UXFree86LOADER -DNXAGENT_SERVER -DNXAGENT_CONSTRAINCURSOR -DNXAGENT_FONTCACHE_SIZE=50 -DNXAGENT_GLYPHCACHE -DNXAGENT_GLYPHCACHE_SIZE=50 -DNXAGENT_SHAPE2 -DNXAGENT_FIXKEYS -DNXAGENT_CLIPBOARD -DNXAGENT_EXPOSURES -DNXAGENT_FONTEXCLUDE -DNXAGENT_PACKEDIMAGES -DNXAGENT_VISIBILITY -DNXAGENT_WAKEUP=1000 -DNXAGENT_ONSTART -DNXAGENT_SPLASH -DNXAGENT_ARTSD -UNX_DEBUG_INPUT -DRANDR_10_INTERFACE -DRANDR_12_INTERFACE -UPANORAMIX -UDEBUG_TREE NXwindow.c

Untrusted library search path in x2gostartagent bash script
by Hayawardh V 07 Jan '12

07 Jan '12

Hi, There is an untrusted library search path vulnerability in x2gostartagent. Lines 188,189 in /usr/bin/x2gostartagent in the Ubuntu PPA package say: LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${X2GO_LIB}" export LD_LIBRARY_PATH If one of these are empty, then there will be an empty addendum to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which will make ld search for libraries in the current working directory. Programs xauth, x2goserver-run-extensions and x2gofeature (and the programs further spawned by them, including perl, basename, find, grep, sort, bash etc.) are launched with this insecure LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Thus, the current working directory will be searched for shared libraries when this command is launched. Usually, x2gostartagent is launched over ssh, and the current working directory will be the user's home directory. The problem is that if a user is tricked into downloading a malicious library off the Internet and saves it into his home directory, this malicious library will be loaded and can take control of the user's process when an x2go session is launched. The fix is simply to check if either LD_LIBRARY_PATH or X2GO_LIB are empty. I am pasting the patch below. Please keep me updated on this issue. Thanks, Hayawardh Vijayakumar --- /usr/bin/x2gostartagent 2012-01-05 17:48:07.843705023 -0500 +++ /usr/bin/x2gostartagent.fixed 2012-01-05 16:44:41.839705377 -0500 @@ -184,8 +184,13 @@ X2GO_COOKIE=`mcookie` +if [ ! ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} ] || [ ! ${X2GO_LIB} ] +then + LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}${X2GO_LIB}" +else + LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${X2GO_LIB}" +fi -LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${X2GO_LIB}" export LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATH="${PATH}:${X2GO_BIN}/"
