Help with shared folder with postgres backend
by Helmer Teles 09 Mar '12

09 Mar '12

Hello, ML Hello Michael. I,ve been strugling with a problem with shared folders under x2go. When there's a problem with a shared folder not unmounting with the postgres backend you can not mount the share anymore. Steps to reproduce. Logon to a x2goserver with a shared folder on the client, next go to that shared folder ( cd ~/media/disk ) and while you are at that folder at the unix server logout from the x2go session. After you logout from x2go the process to ummount will fail because the resource is mounted. After that you can not mount the share anymore because the mountpoint is not removed from the x2go_session mounts table. regards, -- Helmer Teles eM@il : helmer[DOT]teles[at] Google Mail Web Page: http://hteles.wordpress.com

[BUG] Hostname with IPv6 address but no v6 connectivity => SSH connection fail
by Mihai Moldovan 09 Mar '12

09 Mar '12

Hi, just dumping bugs I found to the ML as a reminder for myself (and as a means of gathering confirmations from other people.) Prerequisites: - hostname specified resolves to both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address. - no connectivity via IPv6, but IPv6 configured network interface (half-broken state) Symptoms: - libssh tries to connect via IPv6, but fails - doesn't even try the IPv4 address (which may just work fine) Workaround: - specify IPv4 address as server host Fix: - to do - report to libssh upstream Best regards, Mihai

Issue with sound
by newsgroups.mail2＠stefanbaur.de 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

Hi, I'm trying to watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWqP-ejD6qA on a Debian Squeeze server ("pure" stable) with x2go's stable packages. Client is Windows 7, 32-bit. While it seems to work at first, the browser will lock up after a while and/or sound will simply cease to work. The issue is the same with the current as well as the older clients, and playing with the settings didn't help, either: With some settings, it basically works, but has the issues described above, with others, the session won't start at all or no sound is available. @Mike: I remember you once mentioned that there was a newer version of pulseaudio available that would have to be manually merged with the Windows x2goclient. Is that still the case, or has the newer release been integrated into the Windows x2goclient? -Stefan

cups-x2go problem printing multiple copies from windows terminal server. Fix inside ( i guess )
by Helmer Teles 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

Hello, ML. I've found a bug when i try to print multiple copies from a Windows Terminal Server to x2go-printer if the document has only one page, it only prints one copy. Strangely this does not happen if the document has more than one page. How to reproduce Open a x2go-session, open Freerdp to a windows terminal server, write a new Word Document with only one page. Now print the document with more than 1 copy. Steps to correct it: I've changed the line in /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-x2go to: # PS2PDF command my $ps2pdf = "/usr/bin/gs -q -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH - dSAFER -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=\"%s.pdf\" -dAutoRotatePages=/PageByPage -dAutoFilterColorImages=false -dColorImageFilter=/FlateEncode - dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -dDoNumCopies -c .setpdfwrite -f \"%s\""; FROM: # PS2PDF command my $ps2pdf = "/usr/bin/gs -q -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH - dSAFER -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=\"%s.pdf\" -dAutoRotatePages=/PageByPage -dAutoFilterColorImages=false -dColorImageFilter=/FlateEncode - dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress -c .setpdfwrite -f \"%s\""; -- Helmer Teles eM@il : helmer{DOT}teles[AT] google Email Web Page: http://hteles.wordpress.com

X2Go release day: x2goserver, nx-libs, x2goclient, x2gothinclient
by Mike Gabriel 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

Dear all, The X2Go Project is proud to announce a couple of new X2Go component releases: - x2goserver (3.1.0.1) - nx-libs incl. x2goagent (3.5.0.12) - x2goclient (3.99.1.1) - x2gothinclient (1.0.1.6) All new packages will be available in our stable repositories (Debian, Ubuntu) within the next 24h. The windows and Mac OS versions of x2goclient will probably be available tomorrow, as well. (PING: @Mihai, @Oleksandr). Sources and binary releases will be downloadable under this URL as soon as they are provided by the packagers. http://code.x2go.org/releases/ The new X2Go Server version adds ~/.x2go_logout script support to the server-side of X2Go and fixes the x2goserver-fmbindings Makefile. The NX (redistributed) code tree has received a fix for the main Makefile. Also a patch for building on Mac OS X 10.5 has been included, plus an X2Go related patch by Oleksandr. On top of that, we have fixed installation of libnx-x11 (Debian package) on 64-bit systems with multi-arch support (i.e. Debian wheezy+sid). X2GoClient and X2Go TCE have received some improvements, too. The shutdown button is now fully implemented witin X2GoClient, the x2gothinshutdown package has been dropped. The TCE also received a new and more colourful boot splash. At this point I would like to explicitly thank Mihai Moldovan for investing his time into X2Go Client development on Mac OS X. Mihai has contributed some great patches to the X2Go Client code and has also taken over the building of the Mac OS X binary of X2Go Client (including nx-libs-lite i.e. nxproxy+libxcomp3). The X2Go project--with Mihai on board--is now able to offer the X2Go Client for current Mac OS X versions again. Thanks for that, Mihai!!! light+love, Mike x2goserver (3.1.0.1-0~x2go1) RELEASE; urgency=low * New upstream version (3.1.0.1): - Provide infrastructure for on-logout script calls. - Do only run session cleanup scripts from within x2goruncommand. Dropping them from x2goterminate-session. - Be tolerant against x2go_logout script failures. - Fix Makefile of x2goserver-fmbindings (thanks to Oliver Burger), improve uninstall code in Makefiles. -- Mike Gabriel <mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de> Wed, 07 Mar 2012 21:05:28 +0100 nx-libs (2:3.5.0.12-0) RELEASE; urgency=low [ Mike Gabriel ] * Update patch: 001_add-main-makefile.full+lite.patch, adapt patch from packaging. Test for Makefiles in subfolders before calling them. Fixes build failure during ,,make distclean'' calls. * Provide temporary workaround for installation on Debian 64bit with multiarch support (via libnx-x11.postinst and .prerm). * Re-introduce proper Xinerama support on non-multiarch systems. [ Mihai Moldovan ] * Add patch: 051_nxcomp_macos105-fdisset.full+lite.patch, work around issue in Mac OS X 10.5 SDK. Pass address of fd_set structs on the stack to the FD_ISSET macro/function, instead of the struct itself. * Update patch: 005_nxcomp_gcc43.full+lite.patch, fix faulty path to nxcomp/Split.cpp. [ Oleksandr Shneyder ] * Add patch: 203_nxagent_disable-rootless-exit.full.patch, add command line argument "-norootlessexit". Usually, nxagent exits after 30 seconds if running in rootless mode and no X-Clients are present. Starting nxagent with option "-norootlessexit" will change this behaviour. -- Mike Gabriel <mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de> Wed, 07 Mar 2012 20:50:14 +0100 x2goclient (3.99.1.1-0~x2go1) RELEASE; urgency=low [ Oleksandr Shneyder ] * New upstream version (3.99.1.1): - not including <netinet/in.h> on Q_OS_WIN platform. - not updating Xinerama configuration in "fullscreen" mode. - command line argument "--xinerama": use Xinerama by default. - improved support for use in TCE command line argument --thinclient - running without window manager command line argument --haltbt - button to shutdown the thin client - Fix comments in copyright headers. [ Mike Gabriel ] * New upstream version (3.99.1.1): - Update copyright year in about window. Including all translations. - Power button icon: make inner part transparent. Needed for people with a dark GUI theme. - Prettify x2goclient.pro. [ Mihai Moldovan ] * New upstream version (3.99.1.1): - Use the Mac OS X 10.5 SDK instead 10.6 to remain compatible with Leopard. - Add .gitignore file. - The default of a 10 seconds SSH connection timeout is pretty low, especially when using tcp_wrappers with the identd option turned on. Wait for a 60 seconds timeout. - On Mac OS X connect to Xserver via Unix file socket. - Properly set DISPLAY environment variable on Mac OS X.

Debian libnx-x11 package for sid 64bit links broken (patch)
by Anthony Callegaro 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

Hello there, Since the upgrade to x2go 3.1 I couldn't connect from any clients to my Debian sid amd64 x2goserver. There is no error on the client side just that the session is terminating just after starting. The server is stating that the session started well. /usr/bin/x2gostartagent: successfully started X2Go agent session with ID xxx After long hours of debugging I found out that it was due to some broken links in /usr/lib/nx/X11/Xinerama/ The following solved my issue : rm /usr/lib/nx/X11/Xinerama/libNX_X11.so.6 ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6 /usr/lib/nx/X11/Xinerama/libNX_X11.so.6 rm /usr/lib/nx/X11/Xinerama/libNX_Xext.so.6 ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXext.so.6 /usr/lib/nx/X11/Xinerama/libNX_Xext.so.6 This is probably due to multiarch, I don't know if there is a simple way to point to the correct lib path in nx-libs.git/debian/libnx-x11.links According to the multiarch documentation [0] : "Any references to files located in /usr/lib from within your packaging, including but not limited to debian/rules, any debian/*.install or debian/*.links files, or maintainer scripts, must be updated by hand for the new locations." The simple attached patch solved the issue for me but will probably break i386 version of the package. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks anyway for this fantastic tool :o) LeTic [0] : http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Implementation#Issues_to_be_aware_of_when_…

Windows client using nxproxy 3.4.0
by Daniel Lindgren 07 Mar '12

07 Mar '12

Hi. I've noticed that X2Go client on Linux uses nxproxy 3.5.0 while the Windows client uses 3.4.0. Is there a reason for using the older nxproxy version on Windows? While connecting from Windows there is a message about the version mismatch: "Warning: Connected to remote version 3.5.0 with local version 3.4.0." Cheers, Daniel

Mac Client status
by John A. Sullivan III 07 Mar '12

07 Mar '12

Hello, all. We were delighted to see Mihai's find about the overflow as we do have client whose Mac always freezes if the screen saver kicks in. We are eager to upgrade her but are unsure of the current state of the Mac client. Is there a production ready version with this fix available? If so, which one? Thanks - John
