Bug#462: X2Go Windows Client Doesn't Allow Fullscreen on Secondary Monitor
by Jim Burnes 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

Package: x2goclient Version: 4.0.1.3 Subject says it all. This used to work fine in Windows 7, but not anymore. It tries to maximize, but simply performs a maximize on that display.

Bug#458: Apps launched by pkexec fail to start on specific distros
by Michael DePaulo 22 Mar '14

22 Mar '14

Package: x2goserver Version: 4.0.1.13 Notes: 1. I am not sure if this is a bug in x2goserver, x2goserver-xsession, or in nx-libs. 2. PolicyKit depends on ConsoleKit (and on systemd-logind in newer distros.) 3. RHEL7 beta (systemd-logind) is not affected and pkexec commands do work. However, PolicyKit authentication within apps fails. I will file a separate bug about this. 4. I also tested CentOS 6.5 64-bit (ConsoleKit) and saw an issue that precludes even testing for this bug. (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 fails to start) I wrote bug 457 about this. 5. The workaround I discovered is to set your XAUTHORITY env var. I demonstrated this below. Test system: Ubuntu 12.04.4 32-bit x2goserver: 4.0.1.13 x2goserver-xsession: 4.0.1.13 nx-libs: 3.5.0.22 mate-desktop: 1.6.0-3+precise from this apt repo: deb http://packages.mate-desktop.org/repo/ubuntu precise main (This distro uses ConsoleKit, not systemd-logind) Test Case 1: Unity desktop (The authentication window opens and prompts me for my password both times.

I assume that me not being prompted the 2nd time is intentional because sudo works in a similar manner. Only the latter time does synaptic start.) (And in case isn't clear, polkit-mate-authentication-agent-1 doesn't start until I run the pkexec command the 1st time. This differs from Unity where it is launched during login. When I login locally to MATE) mike@mothership-u-p:~$ ps -ef | grep polkit root 755 1 0 10:55 ? 00:00:01 /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd --no-debug mike 21645 21522 0 11:46 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto polkit mike@mothership-u-p:~$ pkexec synaptic ==== AUTHENTICATING FOR com.ubuntu.pkexec.synaptic === Authentication is required to run the Synaptic Package Manager Authenticating as: Michael DePaulo,,, (mike) Password: ==== AUTHENTICATION COMPLETE === No protocol specified No protocol specified (synaptic:21673): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :50.0 mike@mothership-u-p:~$ ps -ef | grep polkit root 755 1 0 10:55 ? 00:00:01 /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd --no-debug mike 21701 21379 0 11:47 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/polkit-mate/polkit-mate-authentication-agent-1 mike 21803 21522 0 11:47 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto polkit mike@mothership-u-p:~$ export XAUTHORITY=/home/mike/.Xauthority mike@mothership-u-p:~$ pkexec synaptic mike@mothership-u-p:~$ Test Case 3: MATE desktop from a local login Same behavior as test case 2. I wanted to verify that polkit-mate-authentication-agent-1 is not supposed to start until you call pkexec, and that you are normally prompted to authentication on the command-line.

Bug#421: I reproduced this bug
by Michael DePaulo 20 Mar '14

20 Mar '14

I did a bunch of testing. Note that most of the earlier test results were not valid because i was probably not in the "fuse" group: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmL_OrCln9ShdHcxbTQ3amJZdlp1b3… Conclusions: 1. This bug is present in X2Go Client 4.0.1.2 and later, including the nightly 4.0.2.0 builds. 2. This bug affects Windows XP 32-bit SP3, but it does not affect Windows 7 32-bit SP1 nor does it affect Windows 8.1 64-bit ("Update 1" was not installed.) It is safe to assume that only XP, server 2003, and server 2003 R2 are affected 3. This bug is not present in 4.0.0.3. (there was a gap in X2Go Client Windows builds between 4.0.0.3 and 4.0.1.2.) 4. Across all 3 aforementioned Windows Client OSs with X2Go Client 4.0.0.3, sshd.exe does start. However, folder sharing does not work; the share never shows up when you run "df" and it is not present in the usual path under /tmp/ . (I did not test printer sharing, but I did test all 3 OSs.) That is probably another bug, but it was obviously fixed. I will not be writing it up.

Oleksandr Shneyder provided a patched libssh 0.5.5 build and I added it to our nightly build system. Both Stefan and I verified that it fixes the bug. We might move the location of the build, but for now it is here: http://code.x2go.org/releases/libssh-with-pagent.patch/

Windows X2Go Client: Windows XP & VcXsrv security vulnerabilities
by Michael DePaulo 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

Until now, I have been including VcXsrv 1.14.2.1 in the X2Go Client Windows builds because it is the last version to support Windows XP. However, it appears that there is 1, and possibly more, security vulnerabilities in that version. http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-announce/2013-October/002332.html Since security vulnerabilities are about to become an irresolvable reality for Windows XP users, I propose that I split the X2Go Windows builds up an XP version, and a version for all later versions of Windows. The XP build will use VcXsrv 1.14.2.1, and hopefully we can get the VcXsrv project to provide security patches for it in the future. The build for all later versions of Windows will use the latest VcXsrv, unless a major regression is found in it. At this time there is no x2goclient.git source code changes needed to maintain the 2 X2Go Client Windows builds. Nor any nx-libs.git source code changes. They will merely differ in terms of this one 3rd-party dependency. (I intend to do a better job of maintaining these dependencies on x2goclient-contrib.git and integrate that git repo into the build process. I would just add every 3rd-party binary file (mostly .DLL files) to that git repo, but that resets the timestamps, and as a SysAdmin I HATE it when timestamps get reset. I'll probably zip them up to preserve the timestamps.) If anyone here thinks I should just say "screw XP" after April 8th, consider the fact that I am contributing my time to the Windows builds and I am willing to maintain the XP builds for the foreseeable future. I will probably maintain them until April 30th 2015 unless a large technical obstacle comes up. I do not condone the use of Windows XP past April 8th, but I believe that X2Go Client can be part of an organization's solution to migrate away from Windows XP. -Mike#2

libssh changes. Information for package maintainers
by Oleksandr Shneyder 18 Mar '14

18 Mar '14

Hello, as you know, I made some changes in X2Go Client code. Especially important is that X2Go Client do not open for every reverse tunnel a new ssh connection any more. To make it possible, I made some improvements in libssh. The patch is already accepted by libssh team and Mike will take care about linux packages. The libssh patch for reverse connections is here: http://code.x2go.org/releases/libssh/libssh-0.5.x-accept-forward.patch I have also found another one issue with libssh, however I have not yet an answer from libssh team if they will accept this patch. It is very important for Mac Client to use libssh with this patch. In other case you can expect the poor performance of X2Go Client. You can find a patch here: http://code.x2go.org/releases/libssh/libssh-0.5.x-unblock.patch To be able build current X2Go Client code on Mac or Windows you also need a libssh with this two patches. @Michael DePaulo. Please apply this two patches on your libssh source tree. If you don't want to build libssh by yourself, you can use binaries built by me: http://code.x2go.org/releases/libssh/libssh-0.5.5.zip @Clemens Lang. If you build libssh using brew, you can do next: - uninstall old version of libssh $brew uninstall libssh $cd $(brew --prefix) $brew update - get available libssh vesrions $brew versions libssh - switch to libssh-0.5.5 $git checkout 91e973b Library/Formula/libssh.rb - edit formula $brew edit libssh add libssh patches before def install: def patches [ "http://code.x2go.org/releases/libssh/libssh-0.5.x-accept-forward.patch", "http://code.x2go.org/releases/libssh/libssh-0.5.x-unblock.patch" ] end after that you can build libssh as usual: $brew install libssh regards Alex -- ---------------------------------------------------- Oleksandr Shneyder | Email: o.shneyder(a)phoca-gmbh.de phoca GmbH | Tel. : 0911 - 14870374 0 Bräuhausgasse 9 | Fax. : 0911 - 14870374 9 D-82205 Gilching | Mobil: 0163 - 49 64 461 Geschäftsführung: Dipl.-Inf.

Sorry for the long URL, but we can download the patch that KDE used for libssh 0.5.3 here: http://code.ohloh.net/project?pid=bnCaBd3Jo9I&prevcid=1&did=portage%2Fwin32… Based on the dates in the files, 0001-implement-support-for-putty-s-pageant-0.5.3.patch supercedes 0001-implement-support-for-putty-s-pageant.patch
