Bug#751: new DebBugs scripts: mbox / cleanbug
by Mike Gabriel 10 Aug '16

10 Aug '16

Hi all, last night, I created to new scripts for the debbugs software underneath bugs.x2go.org. Both scripts are attached and can be found under /usr/lib/debbugs on host ymir.das-netzwerkteam.de. Especially the cleanbug script should be of interested here. I recently received various abuse notifications from my provider and they all relate to X2GO bugs containing mails with virus attachments. These need to be cleaned. I already did so for the reported URLs: http://bugs.x2go.org/128 http://bugs.x2go.org/232 http://bugs.x2go.org/496 http://bugs.x2go.org/765 But there are more... Please coordinate in the X2Go core team, who will work on cleaning up the X2Go bugtracker. Currently, these people have access: Heinz Mihai Mike You have to log into ymir.das-netzwerkteam.de (aka bugs.x2go.org) as user locadm and become root via sudo. The cleanbug script itself is easy to handle: # /usr/lib/debbugs/cleanbug <bugno> Once you triggered the script, you have to look at bug posts on the selected bug and say yes and no. At the end you get asked, if you really want to write back the changes to the bug. The answer's question defaults to "no". You should create some back before manipulating existing bugs. For this, create copies of <bugno>.log in /var/lib/debbugs/spool/db-h/ Note for archived bugs: for cleaning up archived bugs, you have to unarchive them first.

Bug#1064: Unhandled exception on Windows after remote connection lost
by Chavez, Christopher A. (Assoc) 09 Aug '16

09 Aug '16

Package: x2goclient Version: 4.0.5.1 Using Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit. This issue occurs after the connection was somehow lost (possibly due to an ssh-related setting on the server, but this issue can still be triggered by disconnecting the network connection and waiting 120 seconds). Message dialog that appears: [cid:image001.png@01D1E72E.2F723220] "The connection with the remote server was shut down. Please check the state of your network connection." When that message appears, the main X2Go Client window is no longer responsive. [cid:image004.png@01D1E668.655A77B0] Last few messages in session log that appear for this issue: Warning: No data received from remote proxy within 30 seconds. x2go-WARNING-1> "English language requested, not loading translator." x2go-WARNING-1> "English language requested, not loading translator." Error: No data received from remote proxy within 120 seconds. Session: Terminating session at '...' Windows then brings up a message: [cid:image001.png@01D1E665.EFF1C660] "x2goclient.exe has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program." (options: Close the program, Debug the program) Visual Studio Debugger says: Unhandled exception at 0x61AE3784 (libssh.dll) in x2goclient.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000010. I installed X2Go Client using the installer rather than compiling it, so I don't have any further debugging info. Christopher A. Chavez National Institute of Standards and Technology

There is a command line argument to change this behavior. I added it several weeks ago. Am 17.

Bug#819: X2Go Client exposes all (network and local) drives on client-side folder sharing
by Chavez, Christopher A. (Assoc) 27 Jul '16

27 Jul '16

I could almost reproduce this issue using client 4.0.5.1, Windows 7 64-bit, and server 4.0.1.19 on Ubuntu 14.04. I shared a folder from a running session, and the folder appeared as expected as a fuse.sshfs mount: _cygdrive_C_Users_%USERNAME%_SharedFolder (options: rw,nosuid,nodev,default_permissions,user=$USER) A few minutes later the _cygdrive_ mount appeared (with same mount options). However, only the drive corresponding to my %HOMEDRIVE% (which is not C:) has permissions 0700; the other drives (including c) had permissions 0000, so I could not traverse them. It also did not list any drives that appear in My Computer but are either inaccessible (e.g. disconnected share or insufficient permissions) or do not have media present (e.g. empty CD drive). There are also different permissions between the directories for intended shared folder mount (0700) and the ~/media/disk/_cygdrive_ mount (0555). chmod is unable to modify the permissions of the drive folders since it does not have write permissions for _cygrdrive_, but chmod also cannot add write permission to _cygdrive_ either for some reason (which might be expected fuse behavior). Since the mount options allow_other and allow_root aren't specified, non-root users should not be able to access the files in the intended share mount or the _cygdrive_ mount (it's still possible for other users who can sudo to run sudo -u with your username to access any fuse mounts). Also, when I go back to Share Folders in the main X2Go Client window, the folder I shared during the session is not listed (although the server is still connected to it). Christopher A.

Bug#1062: duplicate '-p' option in man page
by Viorel Tabara 24 Jul '16

24 Jul '16

Package: pyhoca-cli Version: 0.5.0.3 The man page lists a '-p' option for '--pack': -p, --pack <PACK_METHOD> Compression method (see below for possible values). which conflicts with: -p, --remote-ssh-port <R_PORT> Remote X2Go server's SSH port (default: 22). The '--help' output does *not* show '-p' for '--pack': ~ $ pyhoca-cli --help | egrep -- "^ (-p|--pack)" -p REMOTE_SSH_PORT, --remote-ssh-port REMOTE_SSH_PORT --pack PACK compression methods (see below for possible values) Tested on: pyhoca-cli-0.5.0.3-2.fc24.noarch Thank you for an awesome tool!

Bug#1061: failure to complete connection when profile files on server contain bashisms
by lucisandor＠gmail.com 23 Jul '16

23 Jul '16

Package: x2goserver Version: 4.0.1.19 failure to complete connection when profile files on server contain bashisms On a group of servers using Debian Stretch, X2Go server (version 4.0.1.19-0x2go2+git20160621.1064+stretch.main.1) was not accepting incoming connections. Namely, SSH logging in succeeded, X2go client would open a black window, but the window would close by itself in 1-2 seconds. I found that, during the login process, the server was sourcing Bash profile files assuming they were POSIX-compliant. At the first encounter of a bashism, such as an array, the script would crash, and the whole session would be killed. I tracked the issue down by inserting in /etc/x2go/Xsession (a /bin/sh file) a logging line: # Load profile for file in "/etc/profile" "$HOME/.profile" "/etc/xprofile" "$HOME/.xprofile"; do echo "$file" | /usr/bin/logger -t x2goloading ..blabla.. done In the log I found: Jul 22 21:32:43 mycomputer /usr/bin/x2goruncommand: launching session with Xsession-x2go mechanism, using STARTUP="xfce4-session" Jul 22 21:32:43 mycomputer x2goloading: /etc/profile Jul 22 21:32:43 mycomputer x2goloading: /home/user/.profile Jul 22 21:32:43 mycomputer /usr/bin/x2goruncommand: command /usr/bin/xfce4-session has finished What happened was that I had my /home/user/.profile source another script that I wrote $ tail /home/user/.profile ...blabla... # set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" fi . /etc/mybashsettings.sh $ cat /etc/mybashsettings.sh #!/bin/bash somefunc() { local INPUTLINES INPUTLINES=() } return 0 $ . /etc/mybashsettings.sh $ sh /etc/mybashsettings.sh /etc/mybashsettings.sh: 5: /etc/mybashsettings.sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting "}") This is a minimally crashing example. Now, I believe that having bash scripts in one's profile should not be unexpected. In fact, on the aforementioned distro, it seems it is part of bash. I ave: $ head /home/user/.profile # ~/.profile: executed by the command interpreter for login shells. # This file is not read by bash(1), if ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login # exists. # see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files for examples. # the files are located in the bash-doc package.

Bug#1059: pyhoca-gui can't be installed on OpenSUSE from project repository, OBS repository version throws errors
by Albrecht Kolthoff 21 Jul '16

21 Jul '16

Package: pyhoca-gui Version: 0.5.0.6-0.0 While the x2goserver and x2goclient packages are running fine on my machines (server: OpenSUSE Leap 42.1, client: OpenSUSE 13.2), the pyhoca-gui package can't be installed from the x2go repository: http://packages.x2go.org/opensuse/13.2/main/x86_64/ The same applies to the version in the heuler repository which contains nightly builds, as far as I understand. In both cases the package carries a dependency on python-wxWidgets-2_9 which can't be fulfilled by the OpenSUSE repositories; these offer only the 3_0 and alternatively the 2_8 packages. The OpenSUSE Build service version (which is some minor versions behind the current ones on the x2go project server) actually has a 3_0 dependency (instead of 2_9) and can be installed: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/RemoteDesktop:/x2go/openSUSE… But: this version refuses to run. When started from a terminal command line, it throws these errors: ak@tantalus:~> pyhoca-gui Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pyhoca-gui", line 35, in <module> from pyhoca.wxgui.launcher import PyHocaGUI_Launcher File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyhoca/wxgui/launcher.py", line 38, in <module> from x2go import X2GOCLIENT_OS File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/x2go/__init__.py", line 189, in <module> from defaults import X2GOCLIENT_OS File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/x2go/defaults.py", line 388, in <module> RSAHostKey = paramiko.RSAKey.generate(RSAKEY_STRENGTH) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/paramiko/rsakey.py", line 156, in generate public_exponent=65537, key_size=bits, backend=default_backend() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/cryptography/hazmat/backends/__init__.py", line 35, in default_backend _default_backend = MultiBackend(_available_backends()) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/cryptography/hazmat/backends/__init__.py", line 22, in _available_backends "cryptography.backends" AttributeError: 'EntryPoint' object has no attribute 'resolve' Which leads to the situation, that pyhoca-gui can't be run on OpenSUSE at the moment. Which I regret. Best regards Albrecht Kolthoff --

x2go-client dual-monitors
by Lena Herrmann 19 Jul '16

19 Jul '16

Hello, since a couple of weeks I'm trying to get x2go running properly. The client is a windows machine and on the server runs a linux-debian jessie. My local-mashine as two monitors, which a want to forward to the linux-server. But only one is working. I can widen the window of the x2goclient over the whole screen, the resolution of the linux-server is adjusted, but it interprets all as one screen and not as two. Do you have any solutions how to setup such a system properly? I was trying to find a solution online, but without any luck so far. Thanks for any help Cheers, Lena

hi, dear devs, x2go server is installed in gentoo, without firewalls (iptables), it works well. if i brought iptables up with some rules, the client can not connect to the server, connection time out. so the question is which port or port range should i open to make it work? i searched on the web, no proper references. here is my rules, please help me out. thanks.

Bug#1060: x2goagent exhaust all Sysv5 shared memory segments when running Java GUI app
by Grigory Shamov 18 Jul '16

18 Jul '16

Package: x2goagent Version: 3.5.0.32 We have encountered a strange problem: x2goagent on the server would eat up all the System5 shared memory segments when running a particular Java GUI application. After that any other processes doing shared memory would naturally fail. When the user connects, everything is as usual; then when Java program is opened and starts working (dataset is loaded, some graphics based on it displayed, several threads started to process the data) it quickly uses over 4K of the shared memory segments. In the output 'lsof -u user' there is about 4K lines of the sort: x2goagent 29374 auser DEL REG 0,4 402984941 /SYSV00000000 x2goagent 29374 auser DEL REG 0,4 403017710 /SYSV00000000 x2goagent 29374 auser DEL REG 0,4 403050479 /SYSV00000000 In Œipcs¹ output there is about 4K lines of this sort: ------ Shared Memory Segments -------- key shmid owner perms bytes nattch status 0x00000000 339708005 auser 600 4331520 1 dest 0x00000000 339740774 auser 600 4331520 1 dest 0x00000000 339773543 auser 600 4331520 1 dest The Java application is IGV: https://www.broadinstitute.org/igv/ Could you please advise, what causes this behaviour and what to do? The server¹s OS is CentOS 6.6, I am using X2go packages rebuilt from from EPEL sources. The desktop environment is GNOME. Thank you very much in advance! -- Grigory Shamov Westgrid/ComputeCanada Site Lead University of Manitoba E2-588 EITC Building, (204) 474-9625
