Bug#1344: Versioning in the launchpad ppa
by Jens Reyer 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

Package: launchpad.net Hi, the version of e.g. nx-libs in the X2Go nightly PPA at https://launchpad.net/~x2go is technically lower than the one in the official Ubuntu Bionic (18.04) archive: $ dpkg --compare-versions 2:3.5.99.16-0~201811100633~ubuntu18.04.1 gt 2:3.5.99.16-1 && echo "ppa version is bigger" || echo "ppa version is smaller" ppa version is smaller This would be correct if they had the same "upstream" content, so that the official package has precedence over the PPA one. However I assume that the nightly PPA ships newer "upstream" functionality. You may reflect this by changing the versioning to something like this (increase the upstream versioning part before the Debian revision -0): 2:3.5.99.16+201811100633-0~ubuntu18.04.1 $ dpkg --compare-versions 2:3.5.99.16+201811100633-0~ubuntu18.04.1 gt 2:3.5.99.16-1 && echo "ppa version is bigger" || echo "ppa version is smaller" ppa version is bigger Otherwise I have to "downgrade" the packages, in order to use the nightly builds instead of the older official Ubuntu bionic ones. For this to work I currently use apt pinning: $ cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/x2go-ppa Package: * Pin: release o=LP-PPA-x2go Pin-Priority: 1010 Thanks jre

Bug#1171: Create wtmp entry for x2go sessions
by Orion Poplawski 19 Nov '18

19 Nov '18

Package: x2goserver Version: 4.1.0.0 Severity: wishlist X2Go should write an entry to /var/run/utmp and /var/log/wtmp. This would allow currently logged inn users to be seen in the output of 'w', and 'last' would also list previous sessions. This could be done via either libutempter or vte. -- Orion Poplawski Technical Manager 720-772-5637 NWRA, Boulder/CoRA Office FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane orion(a)nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 http://www.nwra.com

Bug#1341: FreeRDP not working in x2go, requires BIG-REQUESTS extension
by Jens Reyer 19 Nov '18

19 Nov '18

Package: x2goserver-x2goagent Version: 4.1.0.2-0~1642~ubuntu1 Hi, freerdp (freerdp and freerdp2) doesn't work with current default x2go: ~~~~~ $ xfreerdp /size:1700x1000 /u:USER /p:PASS /v:192.168.50.142 /cert-ignore connected to 192.168.50.142:3389 X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error) Major opcode of failed request: 18 (X_ChangeProperty) Serial number of failed request: 41 Current serial number in output stream: 45 ~~~~~ The bug report for FreeRDP (https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/issues/4920) came to the conclusion that it requires the BIG-REQUESTS extension, which is disabled in x2go. Indeed removing these lines in /etc/x2go/x2goagent.options fixes the issue: ~~~~~ # Disable BIG-REQUESTS, nx-libs does not implement this extension correctly. # Leads to all sorts of weird crashes if left enabled. X2GO_NXAGENT_DEFAULT_OPTIONS+=" -extension BIG-REQUESTS" ~~~~~ I'm using this for a day now without "weird crashes", but still assume it's probably not the best idea.

Call for translations: x2godesktopsharing [deadline: Thu 22nd Nov]
by Mike Gabriel 19 Nov '18

19 Nov '18

Dear X2Go translation team, at "X2Go - The Gathering 2018" and beyond Mihai and I spent a considerable effort on preparing a new release of x2godesktopsharing (driven by the intent of porting it to Qt5, plus making system-defaults of x2godesktopsharing more flexible and configurable at installation (on DEB based systems only)). Please revisit the translation files of the x2godesktopsharing applet. You can retrieve a latest version of x2godesktopsharing by cloning the Git repo: git clone git://code.x2go.org/x2godesktopsharing.git After cloning, change dir into the just appeared x2godesktopsharing/ subfolder. On systems running Qt5 with qtchooser installed, you need to open your translation file like this: linguist -qt=5 x2godesktopsharing_de.ts (example for the German translation file). After you have finished your translation update, please send back the translation file you just edited to this mailing list (as reply to this email). We plan a release of X2Go Desktop Sharing 3.2.0.0 for Nov 23nd 2018. So please send in your translations until the 22nd of Nov. If you only get to do the translation work after that date, don't worry. We will target another minor release 2-3 weeks later. With the work achieved already, X2Go Desktop Sharing is now ready for being uploaded to Debian, so that it will be included in Debian 10 and Ubuntu 19.04 and beyond. Thanks a lot!!! Mike PS: please note, the German translation has already been worked on, another review is much appreciated. -- DAS-NETZWERKTEAM mike gabriel, herweg 7, 24357 fleckeby mobile: +49 (1520) 1976 148 landline: +49 (4354) 8390 139 GnuPG Fingerprint: 9BFB AEE8 6C0A A5FF BF22 0782 9AF4 6B30 2577 1B31 mail: mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de, http://das-netzwerkteam.de

Topic suggestions for the next X2Go-DevMeeting (early February 2019)
by Stefan Baur 15 Nov '18

15 Nov '18

Hi $LIST, Given some recent discussions on the lists, I would like to suggest the following topics: - stable release including Uli's BIG-REQUESTS fix (assuming we have sufficient positive user feedback) Open Issues, Timeframe/Timeline, Dependencies, ... - once the BIG-REQUESTS patch has been integrated into stable and BIG-REQUESTS is active again, look into supporting FreeRDP in RDP proxy mode, rather than only in DIRECT RDP mode. Easy/Difficult? GUI changes in X2GoClient? Additional dependency on Server? What else? As discussed at the last Gathering, the next DevMeeting will probably take place in early February (probably February 7th, as 14th is Valentine's Day and people might have other things to do on that day than to attend a DevMeeting ;-)). @Heinz: Please make a note of these two topics and also be sure to block the date in your calendar (or let us know if 7th doesn't work for you), as this will be a lunchtime/early afternoon DevMeeting, so you will be in charge. If you could prepare a Wiki page soon, that would be highly appreciated. @everyone_else: Feel free to add your topic suggestions to this thread so they're easy to find.

Re: [X2Go-Dev] [X2Go-Commits] [x2gobroker] 02/02: Makefile: make sure that we actually append our custom CFLAGS and LDFLAGS values, even if passed in through the make command line.

Hi Mihai, why would we want to do the below??? Also note that a similar wrapper is in x2goserver: https://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goserver.git;a=blob;f=libx2go-server-db-pe… That one probably needs similar love...
