Bug#143: nx-libs installs into wrong location
by Jan Engelhardt 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

Package: nx-libs Version: 3.5.0.17 Installation is done using make install \ INSTALL_DIR="install -dm0755" \ INSTALL_FILE="install -pm0644" \ INSTALL_PROGRAM="install -pm0755" \ DESTDIR="/var/tmp/whatever" PREFIX="/usr" \ NXLIBDIR="/usr/lib64/nx" X2GOLIBDIR="/usr/lib/x2go" And at the end of the day, rpm notices the following broken link: [ 126s] ERROR: link target doesn't exist (neither in build root nor in installed sys... [ 126s] /usr/lib/x2go/bin/x2goagent -> /usr/lib/nx/bin/nxagent This is because the top-level Makefile does a rather dumb command: cd $(DESTDIR)$(X2GOLIBDIR)/bin/ && ln -sf ../../nx/bin/nxagent x2goagent so it creates a pointer to a non-existing target.

X2go issues/problems
by George Poulos 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

Hi there just think you would want feedback on X2go. Its a great tool from Linux to Linux But from Windows to Linux or Mac to Linux its downright unreliable and trust me when I tell you that it is unreliable. On Windows it will only connect very randomly at best. There no predictability with it at all. I tried on the same network and its completely random when it connects. Which is not good. You can diable all AV and its still the same. I only installed Windows 7 and the installed the X2go client on that and its still unpredictable. Me and a friend of mine spent over a week trying to make it work on Windows 7 and we couldn't make it work predictably. With that being said what I did was to create a Lubuntu VM on a Windows 7 machine, ssh from the VM into the server I am trying to manage and it works perfectly. Yes its a lot of work but it works correctly. -- --GP

Bug#148: PyHoca-GUI accepts new entries to liberally
by Dirk Eddelbuettel 19 Mar '13

Package: PyHoca-GUI Version: 0.4.0.1 As discussed in the recent thread 'PyHoca-GUI 0.4.0.1 created bad config file' [1], I can create 'bad' files ~/.x2goclient/session essentially by just alternating between Add and Apply in the Profile Manager. It seems like you are keying on name being unique. In which case you may need to test for it. I have not looked at your code (and I am not that fluent in Python) so this is just a guess. x2go is a treat. Thanks for your work on it.

Wiki review: RPM based installation of X2Go

Hi all (RPM-based X2Go users), can anyone (Jan?

Wiki user registration policy
by Moritz Struebe 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

Hi there, I'd like to re-discuss our registration policy. While I do agree that spam is a problem, at least I refrained from fixing mistakes in wikis several times because the registration was too complicated, or because it took days to get an account and by that time my motivation was gone. Thus I like to suggest to reopen the open user registration. To limit the spam I suggest adding a captcha plus auto-generating the password. I'd be willing to take care of the spam.

Bug#144: Bluetooth headset switches to low quality profile on application start
by Christoph Mathys 15 Mar '13

15 Mar '13

Package: x2goclient Version: 4.0.0.3 I use a bluetooth headset for music and voip. When I start x2goclient on Windows 7, it forces the headset into a low-quality profile (no session is open, just the client). This is expected to happen if an application wants to use the microphone. I presume x2go opens audio sources and sinks in order to forward them to a client later and so Windows thinks it needs to switch to another profile. When I close x2goclient again, the headset switches back to the high quality profile. I can disable the headsets microphone manually inside the windows audio settings. But then, of course, I can no longer use the microphone for voip. It would be nice to have some kind of switch to disable x2gos audio support completely (or to be able to select which devices are forwarded). As a workaround, it seems to work if I just rename pulseaudio.exe to something else. According to Mike Gabriel the bug should be fixed on the following branch: http://git.ionic.de/x2goclient.git/shortlog/refs/heads/pulsefix

locale problem
by Andreas Radke 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

I have a problem with the locale in my client session. I have set the locale on my remote client and on the server to "de_DE.UTF-8". This also works well in OpenNX sessions but with X2goclient I see within the client session nothing translated into German due to the locale not applied well. Within the remote client session in any terminal I get this: [andyrtr@workstation64 ~]$ locale LANG= LC_CTYPE="POSIX" LC_NUMERIC="POSIX" LC_TIME="POSIX" LC_COLLATE="POSIX" LC_MONETARY="POSIX" LC_MESSAGES="POSIX" LC_PAPER="POSIX" LC_NAME="POSIX" LC_ADDRESS="POSIX" LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX" LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX" LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX" LC_ALL= Any idea? More people seem affected in Arch by this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=151160 Note: the x2go-qt client itself is properly working and translated on the client. -Andy ArchLinux

zlib Performance
by Moritz Struebe 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

Hi there, lately I have noticed some performance issues. When starting with X2Go I found that using 16m-rgb with WAN network provided the best performance. It seems that at least on my system (FitPC3 Pro) the Zlib compression of the WAN configuration introduced a significant impact (did some tracing). Thus now the 16m-rle and the LAN configuration provides way better performance, not bringing my client CPU to 100% when scrolling. This of course might be closely related to turning off the GLX extension, as I'm working on a 27'' screen and thus those performance improvements (e.g. by copying parts of the screen around) are not possible any more. Any thoughts? Cheers Morty -- Dipl.-Ing.

Wiki
by Moritz Strübe 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

Hi there, I tryed to clean up the wiki a bit. Especially the installation and usage section to make it easier for newcommers to find the information needed. Most of the installation stuff is now in the "installation" name space. Thus I'd like to request two things: 1) Show all pages of a namespace in the navigation (e.g. when clicking on "Installing X2Go" all pages in that name space should be shown. 2) Please install the pagemove plugin and move the x2go-repository-* pages to installation. Currently a lot of the usage stuff links to the components namespace. IMO we should get rid of the components namesapce, move the usage information to the usage namespace and the background information to the development namespace. Comments? Morty

encrypting home & printing problem
by senrabdet＠aol.com 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

Hi All: No responses yet...hoping for some suggestions. Our guess is that because we are encrypting the home space with Encfs, the symlink used by the x2go spool to /tmp is broken (i.e., if we use all the same commands to set up an account without encrypting home space, we can print). Suggestions? FYI not suggesting this is a bug per se, just looking for a way forward and figure others may come on to wanting something similar. 1) Are we on the right track, that it would seem likely that using Encfs (which moves the original data) would be the cause of the problem, including the broken link between the x2go spool and the area it points to in /tmp 2) Could we issue some sort of command inside of .bashrc that would establish the link correctly after log in? My recollection is there are a set of pre and post login commands opportunities....apologize, can't remember command structure or if this is still current....is there a link that describes? And I think the folder name holding the spool changes periodically... 3) Leave .x2go out of the encryption process in it's original location......not sure this would work 4) Other? ....Thanks!

Bug#142: x2goclient output on stdout
by Kjell Otto 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

Package: x2goclient Version: 4.0.0.4 The x2goclient has extreme output on stdout while running. It's more noise then signal and therefor, I've wrapped all the printouts with #ifdef DEBUG and a #undef DEBUG on the onmainwindow.cpp file. Then I've added in printout statements that are parsable with numbered output and category so that a normal run of the x2goclient would output like this: $ ./client_build/x2goclient --session=x2goserver_RZ --add-to-known-hosts --hide x2go-INFO-001> Starting x2goclient... x2go-WARN-001> Can't load translator: :/x2goclient_en_us x2go-WARN-002> Can't load translator: :/qt_en_US x2go-INFO-004> Started x2goclient. x2go-INFO-005> $HOME=/home/kjellski x2go-INFO-029> Starting connection to server: 10.3.0.20:22 x2go-INFO-031> SSH connection established. x2go-INFO-011> Closing x2goclient... x2go-INFO-018> Waiting for the SSH connection to finish... x2go-INFO-019> Waited for the SSH connection to finish. x2go-INFO-028> Closed x2goclient. $ No GUI will be shown and no try Icons appear. This reflects a bit more the --hide param and can be used to make a shortcut to the client that will just open the window. Also I've added a log method and provided a script that lets you show all outputs on the file. All changes can be found on this repository in the branch stdout-cleanup: https://github.com/kjellski/x2goclient/tree/stdout-cleanup If any additional help from my side is required, please contact me and I try to support the process.

Bug#141: X2Gobroker: session autologin does not work
by Anders Bruun Olsen 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

This problem was partially fixed by clearing my .x2go and .x2goclient dirs, meaning it might be a combination of ecdsa keys in .ssh and something in .x2go*. There is still the problem where x2goclient asks for a passphrase and you have to click cancel (pressing escape will result in an "authentication failed" dialog). -- Anders Bruun Olsen It-ansvarlig Det Danske Sprog- og Litteraturselskab (Society for Danish Language and Literature)

Bug#141: X2Gobroker: session autologin does not work
by Anders Bruun Olsen 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

Package: x2gobroker Version: 0.0.0.7 When broker-session-autologin=true is set for a profile, a temp ssh-key-pair is generated. The pubkey is added to %h/.x2go/authorized_keys on the term-server and the private key is given to x2goclient. Unfortunately this does not seem to work for us. When we try to login this way, a dialog box is shown, asking for a "passphrase to decrypt a key". At first in our test-setup we thought this worked, because I already had password-less login to the terminal-servers using ssh-keys. As soon as I move my .ssh dir, this other problem occurs. It also occurs for for users without any ssh-keys setup. I can see that the pubkey is successfully added (and removed after 20 seconds) on the term-server in $HOME/.x2go/authorized_keys. The sshd on the term-server is set to also look in %h/.x2go/authorized_keys. -- Anders Bruun Olsen It-ansvarlig Det Danske Sprog- og Litteraturselskab (Society for Danish Language and Literature)

encrypting home & printing problem
by senrabdet＠aol.com 06 Mar '13

06 Mar '13

Hi All: We're experimenting with using X2go and encrypting /home with Encfs and so far everything works well except printing. We think this is because x2go printing relies on creating a link from the spool inside of the .x2go sub folder "C-User-50-xxxxxxxx.stDGNOME_dp32 to the /tmp area, and the Encfs encryption moves things and breaks the link. Our testing indicates that if we don't encrypt a user's /home we can print, but can't print if we encrypt another user's /home all on the same server. FYI: We're not using a central x2go printing server solution (we had concerns about security, so are taking the performance hit instead). We're using ssh to connect, and have gotten this to work by moving the ssh key outside of the encrypted area and creating a symlink to .ssh inside the area. Q: Would some sort of symlink work for printing? The issue here is that (and we may be wrong) the name of the "C-User50...." folder seems to change periodically. Would we need some sort of login script to figures out what the newest "C-user" folder is and creates a symlink on the fly to the spool device? As usual, any help appreciated!

Bug#140: x2gobroker: agent-query-mode in sessionprofiles ignored
by Anders Bruun Olsen 06 Mar '13

06 Mar '13

Package: x2gobroker Version: 0.0.0.6 Having agent-query-mode=SSH set in a profile in /etc/x2go/broker/x2gobroker-sessionprofiles.conf is ignored. Instead default-agent-query-mode from /etc/x2go/x2gobroker.conf is used. When trying to login with x2goclient, this is logged on x2gobroker: 2013-03-06 15:17:23,997 - broker - DEBUG - base_broker.X2GoBroker.get_agent_query_mode(): found default-agent-query-mode in global config section: local I see that the new autologin (which works) uses self.get_profile_broker() instead of self.config to access settings.

Making an OSX x2goclient customized to your site
by Anders Bruun Olsen 06 Mar '13

06 Mar '13

Hi guys, This is a short guide detailing my adventures in building x2goclient for my OSX users, so they can easily login to our upcoming load balanced x2goserver farm. Problem: In order to login to a load balanced farm you need to connect to a broker, which, at the time of writing this, requires x2goclient to be started with the --broker-url=<url> argument. This is not exactly userfriendly. Most normal desktop users aren't comfortable with the command line. On Linux and Windows you can distribute a new start shortcut with the correct --broker-url added (a .desktop file for Linux and who-knows for Windows). This isn't possible on OSX due to the way applications are packaged. You can still start apps like x2goclient from the command line with arguments and all, but it is a bit more complex and difficult on OSX than Linux. Solution: Build a custom x2goclient package containing a start-script which includes your broker-url, so users will automatically be connected to your broker when starting x2goclient by clicking the app icon. This makes your custom version unusable for power users who need to connect to different servers, but for making it easy for your ordinary users to work from home or on the road, it is great. They only need to install your customized x2goclient and know their username/password. Steps: 1. You need a bunch of prerequisites to be able to build x2goclient: 1a. Install XCode with command line utilities (guides available elsewhere online) 1b. Install MacPorts. Remember to fix your PATH. 1c. Install x2goclient from source using port, to get all dependencies: sudo port -s install x2goclient 1d. Install dylibbundler: sudo port install dylibbundler 2. Fix permissions on certain libraries, or dylibbundler will choke on them, and they won't be added to the finished .app: 2a. In /opt/local/lib: chmod ug+w libssh.4.dylib libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib libssl.1.0.0.dylib (expects that your user is in group 'adm') 2b. At the time of writing this, libtiff needs to be build with other parameters, than the binary version distributed by macports. As soon as a new revision of libtiff is released this step should be unnecessary. Until then, rebuild libtiff: sudo port -s -n upgrade --force tiff 3. Grab the newest version of x2goclient source tarball from x2goclient 4. Unpack it somewhere: tar -zxvf x2goclient-<VERSION>.tar.gz 5. Go into it and create a file called x2goclient-start-script with this content: #!/usr/bin/env bash DIR=$(cd "$(dirname "$0")"; pwd) exec $DIR/x2goclient.bin --broker-url=<YOUR_BROKER_URL> 6. Make it +x: chmod +x x2goclient-start-script 7. Modify macbuild.sh. Between the "Bundling" phase and the "Creating DMG" phase, add these lines: phase "Setting up custom run script" mv "$APPBUNDLE/Contents/MacOS/x2goclient" "$APPBUNDLE/Contents/MacOS/x2goclient.bin" cp x2goclient-start-script "$APPBUNDLE/Contents/MacOS/x2goclient" 8. run macbuild.sh to get both a x2goclient.app and x2goclient.dmg When a newer version of x2goclient is released, just repeat steps 3 through 8. -- Anders Bruun Olsen It-ansvarlig Det Danske Sprog- og Litteraturselskab (Society for Danish Language and Literature)

DMG build problem
by Anders Bruun Olsen 06 Mar '13

06 Mar '13

Hi guys, I can succesfully build the DMG on my MacBook (OSX 10.8). I have gone with MacPorts instead of Homebrew, since installing nxcomp/nxproxy with Homebrew isn't straightforward currently. The macbuild.sh script creates a nice dmg for me, and it works fine on my system. However, when I try it on a different system, which doesn't have XCode and MacPorts, it won't start at all. It gives an error report which boils down to it not being able to load the dependent libraries. Specifically it tries to load /opt/local/lib/libcrypto-1.0.0.dylib which doesn't exist on this other system. It is x2goclient.app/Contents/Frameworks/libssl-1.0.0.dylib which references it. The official dmg released by Clemens works fine, it is only my build of it, which has problems. Why does in try to load libcrypto-1.0.0.dylib from /opt instead of the on included in Contents/Frameworks? (I have checked, libcrypto-1.0.0.dylib IS in there). I am on a completely clean install of newest MacPorts and have nothing except x2goclient+deps installed there. And no, just using the official DMG isn't currently an option as we want to provide a simple way for our users to access our new x2gobroker setup. If we don't customize the startup script, they would have to start it from a cmd-line with --broker-url args. This first build however hasn't been customized at all. It is just the official 4.0.0.4 source tarball with no changes. -- Anders Bruun Olsen It-ansvarlig Det Danske Sprog- og Litteraturselskab (Society for Danish Language and Literature)

Bug#139: x2goclient: No keyboard input at login in broker-mode on OSX
by Anders Bruun Olsen 06 Mar '13

06 Mar '13

Package: x2goclient Version: 4.0.0.4 Severity: grave The newly released version of x2goclient for Mac OSX is unusable when used in broker-mode. When started with --broker-url a dialog pops up handling authentication against the broker. After this is done, you choose a session. This next authentication dialog is the problem. The cursor is placed in the login-field and is blinking, but nothing appears when keys are pressed on the keyboard. The system bell (*dunk*) is chimed upon each keystroke. Clicking in the field does not change anything. You can place focus in the password field, but no input happens here either. I have also tried setting the broker in noauth mode, so auth is only needed when connecting to the actual terminal servers. The problem is also present here. No initial auth dialog is displayed (of course), but when a session is chosen, the auth dialog will not accept any input. -- Anders Bruun Olsen It-ansvarlig Det Danske Sprog- og Litteraturselskab (Society for Danish Language and Literature)

findbusyservers algorithm
by Anders Bruun Olsen 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

Hi Mike, I now have a somewhat working setup of load-balanced login with the broker: Broker: x2go-broker.dsl.lan Terminal servers: testterm1.dsl.lan and testterm2.dsl.lan All are virtualized Ubuntu 12.04 servers. However, everytime we login we end up on testterm1. We can login directly to both servers without any problems. We have tried setting testterm1 to calculate pi and logged a bunch of users into it, to try and add load to have the algorithm choose the other server, but it just isn't happening. Is this a bug? We have tried running /usr/lib/x2go/x2gobroker-agent abo findbusyservers and got this output: OK 16:testterm2 83:testterm1 Which tells me that it might be the x2gobroker-daemon which isn't using the information correctly. -- Anders Bruun Olsen It-ansvarlig Det Danske Sprog- og Litteraturselskab (Society for Danish Language and Literature)
