[X2Go-Announcement] New X2Go releases: x2goclient, pyhoca-gui, pyhoca-cli, python-x2go
by Mike Gabriel 25 Jun '12

25 Jun '12

Dear all, The X2Go Project is proud to announce a couple of new X2Go component releases: - x2goserver (3.1.1.1) - pinentry-x2go (0.7.5.4) All new packages will be available in our stable repositories (Debian, Ubuntu) within the next 24h. In X2Go server we have put some focus on automatic client keybaord recognition. Put ,,auto'' as keyboard type/model in x2goclient and check your keyboard settings within the X2Go session with ,,setxkbmap -print''. PyHoca-GUI already has a widget in the session profile management window to enable auto-keyboard recognition. Also, this version of X2Go Server now has Unity and GNOME3 session support. Use X2Go Client 3.99.2.1 or PyHoca-GUI 0.2.0.x to enjoy Unity session on Ubuntu servers running X2Go. Also a fix for an error that occurred when unmounting client-side shares on NFS homes has been added to this release. The pinentry-x2go project experienced a very comprehensive code clean up. No new features have been added, but the X2Go pinentry fork has been prepared for upload to Debian. light+love, Mike X2Go Server changes =================== x2goserver (3.1.1.1-0~x2go1) RELEASE; urgency=low [ Mike Gabriel ] * New upstream version (3.1.1.1): - Add/fix Python X2Go folder sharing/unsharing support from Windows. - Handle whitespace in folder names appropriately. - Allow .desktop file parameter Terminal=... to pass through to X2Go client-side. - Avoid error messages in x2gocmdexistmessage if cmdoutput file could not be found. - Provide nx-X11 libraries for applications launched via x2goruncommand. - Add feature X2GO_SERVERSIDE_DESKTOPCOMMANDS. Let client provide a generic desktop shell command (GNOME, UNITRY, KDE, etc.) which then gets translated into an executable command by x2goruncommand. - Detect desktop session mode to use for Ubuntu precise and later. - Complete UNITY/GNOME support for Ubuntu/Debian. - Use ,,-nolisten tcp'' option when evoking x2goagent from within x2gostartagent. - Export NX_ROOT=$HOME/.x2go in x2gostartagent. Makes the keyboard file in X2Go session cache directory. - Add support for client-side keyboard detection. Moved script x2gosetkeyboard from x2goserver-pyhoca into x2goserver package. - Make x2gosetkeyboard set the client-side keyboard on session start and resume if usekbd is set to True and the keyboard type is set ,,auto''. - Reset keyboard settings to pc104/us before setting client-side keyboard parameters. - For finished sessions purge all mount points that still hover in the DB's mounts table. - Make sure we run fusermount from within a directory that the user has read access to. * Depend on x2goagent (>= 2:3.5.0.12), make sure that x2goagent has the patch 105_nxagent_export-remote-keyboard-config.full.patch included. -- Mike Gabriel <mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de> Thu, 21 Jun 2012 14:16:08 +0200 Pinentry X2Go changes ===================== pinentry-x2go (0.7.5.4-0~x2go1) RELEASE; urgency=low * New upstream version (0.7.5.4): - Drop mdate-sh and texinfo.tex from /doc folder (autotools build cruft). -- Mike Gabriel <mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de> Thu, 14 Jun 2012 09:47:09 +0200 pinentry-x2go (0.7.5.3-0~x2go1) unstable; urgency=low * Update of copyright information in several file headers. -- Mike Gabriel <mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de> Wed, 13 Jun 2012 17:11:48 +0200 pinentry-x2go (0.7.5.2-0~x2go1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream version (0.7.5.2): - Strip code project down to its essentials, remove a lot of unneeded cruft. - Make code tree fully build with autotools, see README file for further info. - Replace string pinentry-qt with pinentry-x2go. * Make dh_clean remove all build cruft. -- Mike Gabriel <mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de> Wed, 13 Jun 2012 15:11:19 +0200 -- 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 on Lubuntu 12.04
by BSmith 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

I have noted the following issues so far when using an X2Go Session with Lubuntu 12.04 AMD64 (uses LXDE): The selected theme is ignored. Only the default theme is used (Clearlooks in this case). When I try to use Openbox to change the them to the theme I want (Lubuntu-default) I get an error "an error occurred while saving the config file '/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml'. Certain applications do not appear in the LXDE application menu. Things like the Synaptic Package Manager for example. It's like the user does not have proper access permissions when logged in via an X2Go session. Any ideas?

Official X2Go Logo
by Stefan Baur 15 Jun '12

15 Jun '12

Hi List, X2Go currently uses at least two logos: the X with speedlines on a blue background and the baby seal. Are both of them equally official logos? Which one(s) should be displayed when promoting X2Go in print or on trade show booths? Is there a high-resolution (or scalable, vector-based) download available somewhere? -Stefan

Removal of EsounD support
by Mihai Moldovan 14 Jun '12

14 Jun '12

Hi all, I'm thinking about removing ESD support from x2goclient altogether. During my recent deep changes to the PulseAudio integration for X2goclient on both Windows and Mac OS X, I came across the ESD sound support. On Windows, ESD was supported through the PulseAudio wrapper, while OS X was totally broken anyway. Testing ESD support proves to be difficult, and I'm thinking about removing it completely. Most Linux distributions have already removed esd (and tools) from their repo, or rather replaced it by the PulseAudio esd compat layer. That's especially true for Ubuntu, but also Debian Testing and Unstable (Debian Stable still has esd for x86 and amd64 arches, but this will be dropped in favor of PulseAudio in the upcoming release.) That said, I'd like to know whether users are still using esd or not. I wouldn't feel comfortable removing a feature still in use. Please report, if you find the time. Best regards, Mihai

pinentry-x2go reloaded
by Mike Gabriel 13 Jun '12

13 Jun '12

Hi Alex, hi all, I have today completely ,,reloaded'' pinentry-x2go. As I am currently pushing things to Debian I have already released the version with today's code cleanup under 0.7.5.2. Reason was: there has been so much cruft in the package (unused code) that it would not have been accepted as is by Debian FTP masters. This is now different. Furthermore, the package is now fully autotools compliant: http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=pinentry-x2go.git;a=blob;f=README As you probably build pinentry-x2go on Windows, as well, we have to check if I removed to much from the code. Request for feedback!

Experiences with x2goserver on Wheezy
by Paul van der Vlis 13 Jun '12

13 Jun '12

Hello, Installing X2goserver on Wheezy works fine. But when I start a session from a client with Squeeze to a server with Wheezy and Gnome, I see short a black "X2go" window, but after that the session is gone. I will add the /var/log/auth.log and /var/log/syslog (debug mode) at the end of this mail.

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.

occurrence of sluggishness in X2Go
by Mike Gabriel 09 Jun '12

09 Jun '12

Hi, just for the record and to let people know about current work focus... People (esp. John) have reported occurrences of a very sluggish behaviour of various applications when run in X2Go sessions. We developers can now confirm this. Ubuntu users reported this earlier, Debian user can now also experience such a sluggishness. Reproduce on Debian: * add squeeze-backports archive to your system * install iceweasel (esr version) This will drag in a libcairo from squeeze backports that is very probably the cause for making some applications very slow within X2Go sessions. Libcairo is used in all GTK applications and is a layer between GTK and the rendering backend (X11, OpenGL, ...). With some recent version of libcairo the sluggishness got introduced... @John: so it is not Nagle, I guess... Compare: launch gnome-terminal (uses libcairo) on such a system and xterm (uses direct X11 rendering). Now create some output on standard out and then scroll back the shell history... Alex has become aware of this on Linux Day Berlin and he has put it on his list with high priority to find a solution/workaround for that.

releasing x2goclient before pull pulseaudio changes
by Mike Gabriel 08 Jun '12

08 Jun '12

Hi Mihai, I have just released x2goclient 3.99.2.1. I wanted to do that (a) because of the Unity support recently added and (b) before I pull your pulseaudio work. The pulseaudio work: Alex is very busy for the next two weeks. He can only take a look at your work after his software project he is currently working on. I guess we will pull your work, but I cannot do that by myself without having seen your code. Please merge your changlog entries under 3.99.3.0 (which will be the next release due to the great pulseaudio changes you provide).

Re: [X2Go-Dev] Segfault issue with x2goserver.
by Nable 80 06 Jun '12

06 Jun '12

Hi. At first, thank you for extremely quick answer. If this issue is known, then it may be good to add 'Conflicts: libcairo (>= 1.12)' to debian/control file of main version of x2goagent. It could save some hair of new users from becoming gray. I've tried both of your pieces of advice. On 32bit server i've downgraded libcairo to 1.8 (it would be better to have 1.10 but it's available in repo no more) and also had to downgrade everything that depends on it. After that both nxserver and x2goserver work good. If i have time i'll also try newer nxserver (i really enjoy their lightweight Win32 client), although i've heard that freenx lacks support and tends to become abandoned. On 64bit server i've updated x2go server apps to wheezy/heuler versions and it also works now. lxterminal and chromium seems to be slow (although, chromium via `ssh -X' never worked fast; lxterminal scrolls slowly but it's not dramatically slow) and icedove doesn't seem to be slow at all. Although, issue about problems with resuming is actual: both lxterminal and icedove lose all text labels and cannot show any text (see attached screenshot of menu ) until i close them and open again (minimize + restore or resize doesn't help). One more thing, about exporting client dirs to x2go session: it works only when i set (in x2goclient session settings) local encoding to windows-1251, but my OS and FS supports and uses unicode, does anybody work on fixing such support in x2goclient? Also even when I set local encoding to cp1251, on server side I see that dots from the beginning of filenames (yes, I have folders with names like .ssh, files .bashrc, etc) are stripped. That doesn't seem to be correct behavior. Thanks again for your answer, also I hope that I can help in improving x2go project too.
