New X2Go-ThinClientEdition-Live images available; changes to X2Go-TCE-Live build process
by Stefan Baur 28 Jul '17

28 Jul '17

Hi everyone, this is to inform you that new X2Go-TCE-Live images have been built and are available for download here: <http://x2go.baur-itcs.de/x2go-tce-stable/> All files have been checksummed with md5, sha1 and sha256, the resulting files have been clearsigned using my GPG private key. My GPG public key is attached to this message, so you can (and should) verify the integrity of your downloads. Everything you need to know about X2Go-TCE-Live can be found here: <http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:howto:tce> The most important change is probably the one documented in this diff: <http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:howto:tce?do=revisions> It allows you to query which versions of X2Go-TCE are installed/running, if you are using local storage/writable portable media in combination with the updateurl= boot parameter. This is really helpful if you are using some kind of monitoring software - now you can monitor update progress. Also, all log output from our custom startup/if-up scripts is now written to /dev/tty8 as soon as it becomes available, and once a network interface is "up", an attempt is made to sync time using the ntpdate command (at present, it uses the ntp servers that are used as defaults in Debian; the code could be expanded to use custom ones if required). Other than that, the current images now feature a colorful login message both locally as well as via SSH, where details like MAC and IP are highlighted, as well as various improvements to the update mechanism. Please note that there have also been a few changes to the X2Go-TCE-Live build process, so if you're using our scripts to build your own image, you should download current copies from the wiki: <http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:howto:tce#configuring_the_build> <http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:howto:tce#live-patching_the_build> <http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:howto:tce#starting_the_build> Kind Regards, Stefan Baur -- BAUR-ITCS UG (haftungsbeschränkt) Geschäftsführer: Stefan Baur Eichenäckerweg 10, 89081 Ulm | Registergericht Ulm, HRB 724364 Fon/Fax 0731 40 34 66-36/-35 | USt-IdNr.: DE268653243

Bug#1197: Multihead fullscreen not working with TCE client in displaymanager mode
by Ulrich Sibiller 26 Jul '17

26 Jul '17

Ok, thanks. This shows that the TCE is using an old x2goclient that is still generating a xinerama.conf on ther server side (this file's content should match the values of xrandr and xdpyinfo you sent before). So you probably have xinerama enabled in the session configuration in x2goclient. For nx 3.5.99.x this is not required (but I doubt adjusting that will change anything). The options file contains fullscreen=1 and we have a bug regarding that option (https://github.com/ArcticaProject/nx-libs/issues/449) So I ask you to - provide the options file and ls output also for the working Laptop session - turn off fullscreen in the session's configuration and see if that changes anything for you (maybe ctrl-alt-f will work then, too) Uli On Wed, Jul 26, 2017 at 2:08 PM, Walid MOGHRABI <w.moghrabi(a)servicemagic.eu> wrote: > Here there are > > > Regards, > Walid Moghrabi > > TRAVAUX.COM > BAT I - PARC CEZANNE 2 290 AVENUE GALILEE - CS 80403 > 13591 AIX EN PROVENCE CEDEX 3 > > ----- Mail original ----- > > De: "Ulrich Sibiller" <uli42(a)gmx.de> > À: "Walid MOGHRABI" <w.moghrabi(a)servicemagic.eu> > Cc: "Stefan Baur" <X2Go-ML-1(a)baur-itcs.de>, 1197(a)bugs.x2go.org > Envoyé: Mercredi 26 Juillet 2017 13:58:14 > Objet: Re: Bug#1197: Multihead fullscreen not working with TCE client in displaymanager mode > > On Wed, Jul 26, 2017 at 1:52 PM, Walid MOGHRABI > <w.moghrabi(a)servicemagic.eu> wrote: >> Sorry, find the correct output attached. >> Seems to report 2 heads effectively. > > Ok, now we are a step further.

Bug#1197: Multihead fullscreen not working with TCE client in displaymanager mode
by Stefan Baur 26 Jul '17

Hi folks, Just an idea - some XRANDR-related stuff that is specific to X2Go-TCE-Live is happening in this file: <https://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=live-build-x2go.git;a=blob;f=config/includes…> Which, in turn, was inspired by this file from X2Go-TCE-Classic (NFS): <http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2gothinclient.git;a=blob_plain;f=displaymana…> As this is specific to the TCEs, maybe this is the root cause of the difference you're seeing?

If I understand correctly TCE is not the side where the nxagent is running. So the version oft nx-libs there does not matter. I am wondering how the connection from the laptop can generate xinerama info as the laptop's xserver, that must provide the data, does not. Please post a log oft the nxagent startup. And the output oft xdpyinfo -ext XINERAMA within the session.

Are you sure your custom TCE build includes the Arctica NX-Libs? I would suggest logging in to a running TCE and comparing the output of "dpkg -l".

Hi there, Is there any support for an X2Go client for iOS or Android? I would be interested in using that + Airplay or Miracast to use a remote desktop with a wireless display. Thanks! - Alan

Bug#1195: Some of the keys are not passed correctly
by Peter 18 Jul '17

18 Jul '17

Package: x2goserver or x2goclient Version: 4.0.1.20 (server), 4.1.0.0 (client) I'm using the standard "pc105" keyboard model and Slovene "si" keyboard layout at both client and server machines. Almost all of the keys work as expected while using the x2goclient to establish a connection to the local desktop. However, there are at least two combinations where I found that the passed keys are incorrect. These are: - The key under the ESC (sometimes called the "tilde key") - instead a plus sign is printed at server side. I think it should be fixed, because some programs use it for console. I use it for drop-down Terminal. - The key with less than and greater than symbols (<, >) is one right to the left shift, left to the Y key (QWERTZ keyboard). This is the "key difference" between US 104-keys vs. European 105-keys keyboards. I don't think it is connected with my specific layout, maybe a group of layouts (German one also comes to mind, from which Slovene one evolved). Can somebody reproduce it?

Bug#1192: Wishlist: Add alternative key combos for windowed mode
by Stefan Baur 16 Jul '17

16 Jul '17

package: x2goagent priority: wishlist At present, there's a server-side configuration file /etc/x2go/keystrokes.cfg (and optional per-user settings in ~/.x2go/config/keystrokes.cfg *on the server*) that define which key combinations trigger actions in X2Go, like suspending the session or toggling between fullscreen and windowed mode. In windowed mode, it is currently impossible to switch from one application to another using Alt-Tab - it will always apply to the "outer session", the local display (X on Linux, GDI or whatever on Windows, $SOMEOTHERMAGIC on macOS). Microsoft has the same issue with RDP sessions. This is why Windows RDP sessions use the following mapping when running in windowed mode: <https://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/windows/desktop/aa383500(v=vs.85).…> e.g. Alt-Tab is replaced with Alt-PgUp, and Alt-Shift-Tab with Alt-PgDn. It would be nice if we could add this to our configuration, so that a set of Ctrl-Alt-$SPECIALKEY commands can get mapped to other key combinations inside the session, so that e.g. Ctrl-Alt-PgUp would trigger an Alt-Tab keypress/release inside the session.

Bug#1193: MacOS client does not work when local username has space
by Adam Tworkowski 13 Jul '17

13 Jul '17

Package: X2Go Client (MacOS) Version: 4.1.0.0 I am not able to make a complete session with MacOS Sierra. My (corporate) username is formatted “firstname lastname”, and thus: /Users/firstname lastname/.x2go/ /Users/firstname lastname/.x2goclient/ I also have a personal account on the computer which is “firstname”, and thus: /Users/firstname/ The error message I am getting while using the “firstname lastname” account is: Loop: PANIC! Can’t read options from file ‘/Users/firstname.’ Error is 21 ‘is a directory’. I have a strong suspicion that the client is having issues with the space in my username. The reason I mention my personal account which is my first name is that /Users/firstname does exist and is a directory which may skew the error message during replication. When /Users/firstname/ is temporarily renamed, the client seems to hang and then closes without an error in ui.
