You can view the complete changelog entry of src:x2goserver (4.1.0.4) below, and you can use the following link to view all the code changes between this and the last release of src:x2goserver. https://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goserver.git;a=commitdiff;h=1e0b9ce0155256… If you feel that the issue has not been resolved satisfyingly, feel free to reopen this bug report or submit a follow-up report with further observations described based on the new released version of src:x2goserver. Thanks a lot for contributing to X2Go!!! light+love X2Go Git Admin (on behalf of the sender of this mail) --- X2Go Component: src:x2goserver Version: 4.1.0.4-0x2go1.2 Status: RELEASE Timestamp: 1685472549 Date: Tue, 30 May 2023 20:49:09 +0200 Fixes: 1228 1357 1388 1395 1434 1537 1538 1583 Changes: x2goserver (4.1.0.4-0x2go1.2) RELEASED; urgency=medium . [ Mike Gabriel ] * New upstream version (4.1.0.4): - Fix version number in VERSION.x2goserver-desktopsharing. - x2goserver-x2goagent: Drop x2goagent.keyboard file. - x2goversion: Fix situations where ${compfile} contains a non-absolute path (e.g. it contains '../'). (Fixes: #1357). - Add X2Go KDrive support (wrapper package: x2goserver-x2gokdrive). - Add man page for x2gocleansessions. - x2goserver/man/man8/x2golistsessions_root.8: Mention --all-servers option. (Fixes: #1395). - x2goruncommand: Support GNOME-based Ubuntu sessions (via X2Go Kdrive) as provided by Ubuntu 18.04 or later. - GNOME sessions: Avoid firing up of a polkit-1 authentication dialog requesting admin credentials to register a new color map device. See GNOME bug: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-settings-daemon/issues/273 This change only gets activated for Debian for now and focuses on policykit-1 (<= 0.105). (Debian maintainers of policykit-1 are holding back newer versions for unknown reason). - Makefile: Create symlink from /etc/x2go/Xsession.options.d/ to /etc/X11/Xsession.options.d on Debian-like systems. - x2goserver/man/man8/x2gocleansessions.8: Update man page. * debian/x2goserver.postinst: + Drop duplicate sourcing of debconf includes. + Add Dutch debconf translation. Thanks to Frans Spiesschaert. + Add Russian debconf translation. Thanks to Lev Lamberov. + Add Portuguese debconf translation. Thanks to Américo Monteiro. + Update German translation. * debian/control: + Update (LONG_)DESCRIPTION of bin:pkg x2goserver-x2goagent. * Drop base64 from D (x2goserver): A bin:pkg does not exist, the bas64 executable is shipped as part of coreutils (which is an essential package and thus does not need a dependency). * debian/x2goserver.manpages: + Install x2goupdateoptionsstring.1* man pages into bin:pkg x2goserver. * x2goserver.spec: + Update (LONG_)DESCRIPTION of bin:pkg x2goserver-x2goagent. + Fix up files section for x2gokdrive (wrong pkg name). . [ Mihai Moldovan ] * New upstream version (4.1.0.4): - x2goserver/sbin/x2gocleansessions: add newline before POD block. - x2goserver-x2goagent/man/man1/x2goagent.1: add version and date. - x2goserver/Makefile: generate man pages from Perl POD. - X2Go/Utils.pm: fix missing semicolons. - X2Go/Utils.pm: add new is_int subroutine, checking if the provided value is an integer. - x2goserver/lib: new x2goisint wrapper. - x2goserver/lib/x2gois{int,true}: add newlines to (error) output. - x2goserver/lib/x2gois{int,true}: add optional warnings. - x2goserver/sbin/x2gocleansessions: rework manpage/POD. - x2goserver/lib: add new (stub) file x2goupdateoptionsstring to deal with options string manipulations. Currently only parsing into an intermediate state is supported, the script dumps that state for now. - x2goserver/lib/x2goupdateoptionsstring: add function to transform the intermediate options string representation back into a string and some code that uses this new function. - x2goserver/lib/x2go{is{int,true},updateoptionsstring}: use q{} instead of empty quotes as per some... coding standard. - x2goserver/lib/x2go{is{int,true},updateoptionsstring}: wrap print calls with filehandles in curly braces. - x2goserver/lib/x2goupdateoptionsstring: fix some "errors" reported by Perl::Critic in brutal mode. - x2goserver/lib/x2goupdateoptionsstring: add functionality for options removal. - x2goserver/lib/x2goupdateoptionsstring: update documentation to include the notion of the +key[=value] syntax, which makes sense to use if key starts with a dash and would be ambiguously interpreted as a removal. - x2goserver/lib/x2goupdateoptionsstring: refactor remove_option subprocedure into a more general transform_intermediate one and add code for the modification/addition case. - x2goserver/lib/x2goupdateoptionsstring: ignore some very noisy Perl::Critic warnings that we're going to ignore anyway. - x2goserver/lib/x2goupdateoptionsstring: fix interpolated string warning. - x2goserver/lib/x2goupdateoptionsstring: add helper function for transform string interpretation. - x2goserver/lib/x2goupdateoptionsstring: write wrapper that handles program options, creates intermediate, passes through transform chains, reconverts to a string and prints it. - x2goserver/lib/x2goupdateoptionsstring: add debug option and some debugging output. - x2goserver/lib/x2goupdateoptionsstring: remove dead code. - x2goserver/lib/x2goupdateoptionsstring: update documentation and clarify risks of option parsing. It's better to always use -- to terminate program options parsing when no longer needed. - x2goserver/lib/x2goupdateoptionsstring: don't debug-output the intermediate representation if we know that parsing failed. - x2goserver/lib/x2goupdateoptionsstring: fix debug string and add another one dumping the raw options string. - x2goserver/lib/x2goupdateoptionsstring: fix parsing of transformation strings by replacing the switch statement with if statements. "Fallthrough" doesn't mean the same thing as in C, apparently. Buyer beware. - x2goserver/lib/x2goupdateoptionsstring: handle options in a more robust way. First, we scan for unknown options and error out. If we find a separating "--" pseudo-option, we keep that in mind and will not process further options next time. Do this for every run of the transformation loop. - x2goserver/lib/x2goupdateoptionsstring: fix another Perl::Critic nit. - x2goserver/lib/x2goupdateoptionsstring: move into x2goserver/bin, since it's really a standalone program and also useful for non-X2Go-internal usage. - x2goserver/Makefile: add x2goupdateoptionsstring POD-to-man-page handling. - x2goserver/Makefile: don't quote POD_SCRIPTS, because of... make. - x2goserver/Makefile: install man1 files and dirs, too. - x2goserver/bin/x2goruncommand: fix typo in IceWM branch. - X2Go_in_progress_do_not_use/Server/DB/MySQL.pm: backport kdrive change. - x2goserver/bin/x2gostartagent: fix quoting. - x2goserver/bin/x2gostartagent: adapt debug message to ${AGENTBIN} usage. - x2goserver/bin/x2gostartagent: also use ${AGENTBIN} in shadow session code. - x2goserver/bin/x2goruncommand: fix syntax. - x2goserver/Makefile: allow auto-generation of files, including installation, uninstallation and cleanup. - x2goserver/bin: rename x2gopath to x2gopath.in. - x2goserver/bin/x2gopath.in: use ${BASH_SOURCE[0]} instead of ${0}... for reasons. - x2goserver/bin/x2gopath.in: rework quoting, variable usage, drop unnecessary semicolons etc. - x2goserver/bin/x2gopath.in: hardcode LIBDIR, PREFIX and SHAREDIR at build time, but also allow re-rooting afterwards - derived from the original values. - Makefile: specify SHAREDIR as a default-if-not-specified variable. - Makefile: same change, but for ETCDIR. - {libx2go-server-db-perl,x2goserver{,-{common,desktopsharing,extensions, fmbindings,printing,x2goagent, xsession}}}/Makefile: apply default-if-not-specified-logic to all the other Makefiles as well. - x2goserver/Makefile: add support for $(NXLIBDIR). - x2goserver/bin/x2gopath.in: switch to bash. - x2goserver/bin/x2gopath.in: fix warning message to also include SHAREDIR. - x2goserver/bin/x2gopath.in: add and use support for NXLIBDIR; drop the lib-subdir detection. - x2goserver/bin/x2gopath.in: use [] instead of test, for consistency. - x2goserver/Makefile: remove indirections, not needed any longer and leading to build failures now. - x2goserver/Makefile: fix "inline" commenting syntax. Wrapping everything as one string leads to the shell interpreting it as a verbatim command, which will fail execution. Dropping quotes SHOULD™ work, but doesn't, because the outer shell is treating as a comment for itself - leading to it ignoring everything else on that line, including the closing parenthesis. Escaping the hash char only leads to the initial situation with it being parsed as a comment. Backticks would work, but are ugly. Hence, just use the colon pseudo-command. - x2goserver/Makefile: fix syntax error due to non-duplicated dollar signs in comment lines. - x2goserver/Makefile: export common variables for direct use in shell script sections. - x2goserver/Makefile: build up sed argument line as an array and use one substitution run. Multiple runs with the template file as input will lead to only the last replacement to stick in the resulting generated script, which is not what we want to have. Correctly doing that with multiple runs would require the usage of temporary files, which is needlessly complicated in this context. - x2goserver/Makefile: fix shell quoting issue with newly exported ${DESTDIR} variable. - x2goserver/bin/x2gopath.in: more test -> [] conversion. - x2goserver/bin/x2gopath.in: output warning messages if directories do not exist. - x2goserver-xsession/Makefile: correctly generate Xsession symlinks when building on Devuan. No special conffile handling here since we don't actually build Devuan packages. - x2goserver-xsession/Makefile: same for rt-os. - x2goserver-xsession/etc/Xsession: add support for Slackware in the RPM-based section. - x2goserver-xsession/Makefile: generate RPM-based symlinks for Slackware. - x2goserver/bin/x2gopath.in: more quoting. - x2goserver/bin/x2gopath.in: avoid spurious warning messages by canonicalizing installed path values. - x2goserver/bin/x2gopath.in: avoid double slashes since we now know that paths will be canonical. - x2goserver/bin/x2gopath.in: make xinerama path optional, newer releases don't use it any longer, so failures to find it should not result in a warning message. - x2goserver-common/etc/x2goserver.conf: add x2gocleansessions section and agent-startup-time configurable option, to be set to the allowed time period in seconds between session creation and agent PID insertion into the database. - x2goserver/sbin/x2gocleansessions: fetch and sanity-check x2gocleansessions.agent-startup-time from config file. - x2goserver/sbin/x2gocleansessions: rework comment explaining what a session without an agent PID entry actually means and use the value from x2gocleansessions.agent-startup-time (if valid) instead of a hardcoded value. - x2goserver/sbin/x2gocleansessions: replace time check with PID validity check in check_pid and calls. The time check was really just a workaround to allow the agent to start up after a session was formally created, but we already have such a check in another place. Instead, treat a missing PID, which can only happen during session startup, as a success. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: simplify a for loop a bit. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: fix typo in comment. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: fix typo in print statement syntax. Non-functional. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: update copyright notice. - X2Go/Server/Agent/: add new (stub) file NX/Options.pm as a library version of the options string manipulation code. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: fix man page specification, options string was missing. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: move most code to X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: revert for loop simplification. We actually depend on the subtle modification of the args reference variable. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: add a lot of documentation. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: update synopsis to include the optional character of a plus sign, but a non-optional character for a minus sign. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: make clear that "additional parameters" are transformations. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: replace occurrences of "option string" with "options string". - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: replace occurrences of "option string" with "options string". - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: document that duplicate keys in the input options string are possible and accepted, but actually discouraged and semantically redundant. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: whitespace-only in comment. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: add and use an enum-like construct as the internal mode selector for transforms. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: rename options parameter in transform_intermediate to intermediate. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: document key-value pairs with either empty keys or empty (!= non-existent) values. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: make sure that intermediates never include undef entries. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: switch to "X2Go/NX Agent" term and make it bold to denote something special. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: add new function compact_intermediate, used to remove duplicated and empty elements. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: add new --compact/-c switch to enable the use of compactation. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: document new --compact/-c switch. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: split up GetOptionsFromArray () line. Non-functional. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: document the new compact_intermediate () function and its implications. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: fix some Perl Critic warnings and silence others. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: fix some Perl Critic warnings and silence others. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: grammar/typo fix in comment and improve a different comment. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: avoid copying arrays if not necessary when passing to grep and map operations. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: rework the lastly modified comment again, the changed explanation didn't match the reality. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: fix typos in internal section links. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: add newline before __END__, non-functional. - {X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm, x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring}: add =pod markers. - {X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm, x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring}: update AUTHOR sections with proper links. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: fix nxagent man page link. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: considerably simplify while loop logic that iterates over transformations. I have no idea why I thought it had to be so complicated in the first place... - {X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm, x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring}: reformat/reflow so that each sentence starts on a proper line. This is particularly interesting for the troff output, since GNU troff's heuristic for generating double spaces (by default) after a punctuation character wouldn't trigger otherwise. Since it has no adverse effects on other generators, let's just do it like that. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: replace "treat as" with "treat like". - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: clear up "logically equivalent but logically very different" situation. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: rename EXAMPLE section to EXAMPLES. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: add links to X2Go::Server::Agent::NX::Options documentation on option strings and transformations. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: document how to cheat and just compact options strings. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: add options terminators to example calls. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: document that NUL bytes can only be URL-encoded, but that this not recommended. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: typo compactation => compaction. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: whitespace-only on fake enum-subs. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: add empty BEGIN block in case it's ever needed (and if not, it shouldn't have any side effects anyway). - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: add space between link and punctuation character for easier copying. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: better document end-of-options terminator and highlight its importance. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: reflow some text. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: document other non-printable characters. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: add comment regarding the shift () operations after sanitizing program options. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: if ("string") in Perl does something weird in a dualvar sense - it converts a string to a number, which typically evaluates into a plain "0" if it doesn't start with any digits. We actually meant to check against an empty string. Also, change the whole expression to not enclose everything in a negation but rather negate sub-terms as required. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: make sure to add/modify elements with an empty string or undef key and an undef value as an empty hash. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: fix parsing of multiple subsequent separating "--" pseudo-options. We just have to make sure to treat subsequent pseudo-options literally and to not just consume them. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: add debug print statements for in-depth examination of program options parsing. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: add mode selection functionality. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: port modes "enum" subs to the constant pragma to make the code more consistent with the program wrapper. - {X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm, x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring}: update Perl critic overrides to allow the constant pragma and document it and other overrides (unless they are self-explanatory). - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: rework mode selection, split out abbreviation parsing into a separate function to take out nesting complexity. This trades off nesting complexity (to some degree) with code complexity. - {X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm, x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring}: fix/silence a few Perl::Critic warnings. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: typo fix in output message only. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: remove obsolete comment, we're not using a do block/do-while loop any longer. While the information provided there might be an interesting tidbit, it's not relevant to the code any longer and might actually confuse readers. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: undef can't be referenced, so adjust/fix the comments. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: more typo fixes in output messages only. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: generalize code looping through program arguments and split out transformation operation into own subroutine. - {X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm, x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring}: enable Unicode handling, as far as possible. - {X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm, x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring}: fatalize text coding errors. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: sanitize/convert data in @ARGV. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: add non-functional extraction mode. Needs proper implementation. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: fix syntax and strict mode errors. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: simplify error handling by splitting intermediate checking out into a separate subroutine. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: rename $options variable to $intermediate in intermediate_to_string () for internal consistency. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: document that subroutines and constants that are not marked for export are internal and should not be used. Usually, that should implicitly be clear, but it doesn't hurt to be verbose with a disclaimer. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: add extract_element subroutine, used to extract key-value pairs. This one will be exportable, too. Documentation to be done. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: correctly use MIME::Base64. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: actually implement extraction mode. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: don't encode/decode in-place. - {X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm, x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring}: explicitly use package foreign package names all across the code for consistency. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: fix typos in documentation and reword misinterpreted-as-options section. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: document mode selection and extraction mode. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: fix error handling for kv-pair extraction. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: add base64 encode and decode helpers, add new --base64 parameter that enabled global use of base64. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: actually check for a specific value in the kv-pair filter function if so specified. Big oops. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: extend extraction example for how to check for full key-value pair combinations. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: document the new base64 pseudo-mode. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: an equal sign or space character is mandatory after the -m or --mode switch. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: document key-value pair extraction. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: fix some Perl::Critic warnings. - x2goserver/bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring: encode/decode to/from shell locale. - x2goserver/bin: rename x2goupdateoptionsstring to x2gooptionsstring. It's not just modifying it any longer. - x2goserver/Makefile: rename x2goupdateoptionsstring to x2gooptionsstring. - x2goserver/bin/x2gooptionsstring: rename x2goupdateoptionsstring to x2gooptionsstring. - x2goserver/bin/x2gostartagent: fetch the agent PID as early as possible. - x2goserver/bin/x2gooptionsstring: actually default to transformation mode if none was explicitly selected. - x2goserver/bin/x2goresume-session: make (most) non-exported variables lowercase, rename variables to more descriptive names, use typeset all over the place and change the variable type for some variables. Mostly non-functional changes. - x2goserver/bin/x2goresume-session: use global-scope msg variable. - x2goserver/bin/x2goresume-session: update copyright notice. - x2goserver/bin/x2goresume-session: use printf more often instead of the not-so-portable echo builtin. - x2goserver/bin/x2goresume-session: fix err_msg => msg usage. - x2goserver/bin/x2gooptionsstring: replace uses of C<> with B<> in cases where the generated output of the C<> sequence might enclose it in double quotes and creates confusing documentation strings. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: same C<>-to-B<> conversion as in the previous commit. - x2goserver/bin/x2goresume-session: simplify where possible, use x2gooptionsstring instead of awk field splitting hackery. - x2goserver/bin/x2goresume-session: fix redirections and make script workable again. Shells do not like redirections like 'filedes'>'file' and interpret 'filedes' as an argument to the program instead of as a file descriptor to be used for the redirection, even though 'filedes' might be something like '2'. - x2goserver/bin/x2goresume-session: fix clipboard handling. The "${clipboard}" variable already includes the "clipboard" key. - x2goserver.spec: escape percent signs in comments, getting rid of warnings in obs-build's spec file parser. - x2goserver-xsession/Makefile: drop useless use of cat, add debugging to see whether symlinks or a directory has been added. - x2goserver-xsession/Makefile: support Tumbleweed with Xresources in /usr/etc. - x2goserver.spec: support UsrEtc(Move) for OpenSuSE Tumbleweed for Xresources symlink. - x2goserver-xsession/etc/Xsession: check for *SuSE via /usr/lib/os-release and /etc/os-release and generally refine checking layout a bit. - x2goserver-xsession/Makefile: Xresources is a file, not a directory. - x2goserver.spec: Xresources symlink stays in /etc/x2go for now, no need to use %{_distconfdir} or the like. - x2goserver-xsession/Makefile: on systems that do not provide a global /etc/X11/Xresources file, create a dangling symlink instead. Unbreaks Debian builds. - x2goserver.spec: add BR: and R: on distribution-release (pseudo-package/provides) for /usr/lib/os-release and /etc/os-release. - X2Go/Server/Agent/NX/Options.pm: fix typo in test comment. - x2goserver/bin/x2goruncommand: add support for KDE Plasma 5 (startplasma-x11). - misc: copyright updates, but for contributors who haven't been active. - misc manpages: pre-release date update. * debian/control: + Build-depend upon lsb-release for distro version detection. + Pull in base64 as a run-time dependency. We'll need it in scripts. + Fix description for x2goserver-x2gokdrive. * debian/x2goserver.manpages: + Install x2gocleansessions man page. + Install x2goupdateoptionsstring man page. + Rename x2goupdateoptionsstring to x2gooptionsstring. * x2goserver.spec: + Install new x2goisint wrapper. + Install section 1 man pages. + Exclude x2goagent man page from x2goserver package. + Pass down LIBDIR via make calls, not by modifying all source files with sed. + X2Go KDrive package has been renamed to xorg-x11-server-x2gokdrive to be in line with general RPM package names. + Add dependency upon perl(Encode::Locale) for older distros. Others ship the module as part of core. + Add run-time base64 dependency. + Remove run-time base64 dependency - part of coreutils. + Fix description for x2goserver-x2gokdrive. + Add R: x2goserver-x2gokdrive to x2goserver package, to always pull it in as a dependency. This means that we MUST also provide the KDrive server for the platforms that we provide X2Go Server for. + Exclude KDrive support for old Fedora, RHEL/CentOS/... and *SuSE distribution versions. + If we don't support KDrive for a platform, remove the associated files. * debian/x2goserver.install: + Install bin/x2goupdateoptionsstring. + Rename x2goupdateoptionsstring to x2gooptionsstring. * debian/rules: + Export and pass down LIBDIR. + Fix standalone make call by specifying PREFIX, NXLIBDIR and LIBDIR explicitly. + Fix quoting. Since make does not interpret single or double quotes, each string should only be quoted once (so that the shell can parse the quoted result). Quote the values in the variable directly and try not to "double-quote" the resulting string. + Remove unintentional addition of USE_GTK variable. + Port new OS version detection code from X2Go Client, which also fixes detecting testing and unstable. * debian/libx2go-server-perl.install: + Remove duplicated entry for X2Go/Utils.pm. * debian/x2goserver.init: + Rewrite init script to make it idempotent and actually check if the cleanup service was started correctly. . [ Oleksandr Shneyder ] * New upstream version (4.1.0.4): - Add support for X2Go KDrive. - x2goruncommand: start Xsession on X2Go KDrive desktops. - x2goterminate-session: terminate x2goruncommand and all processes from the group. - Support for rootless X2GoKdrive sessions. - Setting keyboard layout in rootless X2GoKdrive sessions. - x2gostartagent: save the XDMCP server in the session id. - x2goterminatesession: don't terminate x2goruncommand on XDMCP sessions. - setting keyboard layout by agent start and resuming for kdrive sessions. - remove layout debug output from x2go-resumesession. . [ Orion Paplowski ] * New upstream version (4.1.0.4): - x2goserver-xsession/etc/Xsession: Detect $SHELL from getent passwd and use it to launch the session (on RHEL, SUSE, Gentoo and alike). (Fixes: #1434). . [ Tom Ruzicka ] * debian/po: Add Czech debconf translation. . [ Ulrich Sibiller ] * New upstream version (4.1.0.4): - x2goserver-x2goagent/etc/keystrokes.cfg: sync with nx-libs 3.5.99.20. Previous version was broken and incomplete. Fixes: #1388. - x2goserver/bin/x2gostartagent: prevent logfile corruption. Both stderr redirection and errors= in the options file wrote to the same file which lead to corruption with lots of debug output. Fixes: #1537. - x2goserver-x2goagent/etc/keystrokes.cfg: sync with nx-libs 3.5.99.26. Previous version was incomplete. Note that this will only work correctly once we actually update to 3.5.99.26 within X2Go, but it doesn't hurt to have the new definitions until then. Fixes: #1538. - x2gostartsession: let x2godialog handle events via NX_CLIENT. Previously, any action that should have displayed a dialog did instead suspend x2goagent, since NX_CLIENT was set to x2gosuspend-session. Fixes: #1228. Fixes: #1540. - x2gostartsession: revert previous commit, this was not supposed to enter the master branch yet. . [ Hanno Foest ] * New upstream version (4.1.0.4): - x2goserver-xsession: Port OPTIONS variable and has_option() function from recent version of /etc/X11/Xsession to X2Go's Xsession file. (Fixes: #1583). More porting is actually needed. . [ Andrew J. Hesford ] * New upstream versio (4.1.0.4): - x2gocleansessions: Separate non-forking behavior from --debug into --nofork. . [ Camaleón ] * New upstream version (4.1.0.4): - debian/po: add new Spanish translation es.po. .

Bug#1228: Ctrl-Alt-T doesn't terminate connection in "local desktop" sessions
by Alexey Nemov 30 May '23

30 May '23

Package: x2goserver Version: 4.0.1.20 Summary: As stated in the wiki https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:advanced:nx-keyboard-shortcuts The action "close_session" should terminate the session. But, pressing Ctrl-Alt-t in a "local desktop" session does not "terminate" the session. Steps to reproduce: 0. Create a new session profile in x2goclient with session type "Connect to local desktop"; 1. Connect to remote computer using this session profile; 2. Press Ctrl-Alt-t at the client. Expected behaviour: The remote desktop window on the client should close, the connection should be terminated. Actual behaviour: The remote desktop window on the client does not close, the connection is not terminated. The following log entries appears in the server's system journal: ``` Oct 26 13:50:39 localhost /usr/bin/x2gosuspend-session[31790]: session with ID alex-50-1508997021_stS1XSHADalexXSHADPP0_dp24 has been suspended successfully Oct 26 13:50:45 localhost su[31900]: Successful su for alex by root Oct 26 13:50:45 localhost su[31900]: + ??? root:alex Oct 26 13:50:45 localhost su[31900]: pam_unix(su:session): session opened for user alex by (uid=0) Oct 26 13:50:45 localhost systemd-logind[508]: New session c99 of user alex.

Bug#1601: Patch for x2goclient Qt5 build on Windows

Porting Windows X2goclient to Qt5?
by Orion Poplawski 06 May '23

06 May '23

Is any work being do to port the Windows x2goclient code to Qt5? The issue I'm running into is that the HWND type returned by wapiFindWindow() is not compatible with the long type - at least when compiling for 64-bit. I'm also curious that you need to shift to a Windows API call - should we be able to do everything in Qt? If I shift to 32-bit compiles I get: ../src/wapi.cpp: In function 'void wapiSetWindowIcon(HWND, const QPixmap&)': ../src/wapi.cpp:224:88: error: 'class QPixmap' has no member named 'toWinHICON' 224 | largeIcon=icon.scaled(iconx,icony, Qt::IgnoreAspectRatio,Qt::SmoothTransformation).toWinHICON (); | ^~~~~~~~~~ ../src/wapi.cpp:225:90: error: 'class QPixmap' has no member named 'toWinHICON' 225 | smallIcon=icon.scaled(smallx,smally, Qt::IgnoreAspectRatio,Qt::SmoothTransformation).toWinHICON (); | ^~~~~~~~~~ Now, the only call to wapiSetWindowIcon() is commented out, so I just commented out that code for now. Looks like the current function to use is QImage::toHICON(). -- Orion Poplawski IT Systems Manager 720-772-5637 NWRA, Boulder/CoRA Office FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane orion(a)nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 https://www.nwra.com/
