x2goserver release tag 3.99.0.6?
by Mike Gabriel 21 Aug '11

21 Aug '11

Hi devs, there are quite some patches coming in for x2goserver (x2goprint, x2goruncommand, etc.). I would like to make a nano release on the x2goserver (3.99.0.6), tag it in Git (no Git version of the server has yet been tagged) and also push the package towards the stable repositories (main area for packages.x2go.org, stable ppa on LP). Comments?

x2gothinclient patches
by Mike Gabriel 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

Hi Heinz, hi Alex, Heinz told me recently that you found some issues with the x2gothinclient packages and that you just need some time to include them in the Git project. As I have a customer that wants an X2go TCE roll-out here in Kiel (on a Debian Edu system), I am very interested in those improvements and fixes. Could you either incorporate your patches into Git or send me you customized code so that I can pick out the cherries? Thanks, Mike -- DAS-NETZWERKTEAM mike gabriel, dorfstr. 27, 24245 barmissen fon: +49 (4302) 281418, fax: +49 (4302) 281419 GnuPG Key ID 0xB588399B mail: mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de, http://das-netzwerkteam.de freeBusy: https://mail.das-netzwerkteam.de/freebusy/m.gabriel%40das-netzwerkteam.de.x…

x2goagent 3.5 -> main area of packages.x2go.org?
by Mike Gabriel 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

Hi devs, I would like to push x2goagent 3.5.0.2 towards the main area of the packages.x2go.org repos (and maybe then also on Launchpad to stable-ppa?). Any comments on that?

Hi Mario, sorry for top posting... THANKS for sharing your work, Mario!!! Could you please do this: git clone git://code.x2go.org/cups-x2go.git cd cups-x2go <put your changes into the files there> git diff -> then send the diff to patches(a)x2go.org Same for x2goserver.git. This will be much easier to read and use. Thanks, Mike @Morty: how do you send Git patches via mail. With you they seem to come directly from the git command. Could you add some lines in the wiki on that? On Mo 15 Aug 2011 20:56:53 CEST Mario OROZ wrote: > El 02/08/2011 11:47 p.m., John A.

X2go disconnects - segfault?
by Christoffer Krakou 17 Aug '11

17 Aug '11

Hello devs. I've had some problems running session with x2go on ubuntu 10.04. i installed the x2goserver package from the ppa mentioned in the wiki. i have been able to reproduce this error message in /var/log/syslog, by opening an application called Kolourpaint (part of the edubuntu-desktop collection). the connection simply dies, as if logging off. I hope you guys can make sense of this error. gnome-session[8011]: WARNING: GSIdleMonitor: IDLETIME counter not found pulseaudio[8101]: pid.c: Daemon already running. pulseaudio[8138]: pid.c: Daemon already running. kernel: [85677.015485] x2goagent[7990]: segfault at 68 ip 00000000004a75a1 sp 00007ffff44cd160 error 4 in x2goagent[400000+4e1000] -- Venlig hilsen / Best Regards Christoffer Krakou Fleten.NET APS

3.99 Testing - Huge browsing delays
by John A. Sullivan III 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

Hello, all. I thought I would spawn this subject into a separate thread as it is a very serious issue. To summarize, when using firefox/iceweasel in X2Go, the browser frequently hangs for between 16 and 20 seconds. All other applications work perfectly fine, accept input, and display output, but the browser window remains frozen. Once it unfreezes, all input and output is processed, e.g., typed letters are displayed and tab clicks are executed. It appears to happen in AJAX intensive sites (Zimbra, GMail, GLPI) but this is not definitive. We initially thought it was a Windows only problem but Phil has confirmed he experiences this regularly in Linux using client 3.0.1.18. I confirm it on Windows 3.99. I wondered if it was because our servers are still using 3.0.1-5 as this smells like it could be an NXAgent problem. I connected to an X2Go server using the latest X2GoAgent (3.5.0.2-0~x2go1 +squeeze~heuler~201107) and experienced the same problem. I have backleveled my Windows system to 3.0.1-4 to see if the problem goes away but do not have enough data yet to report. Thanks - John

3.99 Testing - Multiple X2goclient instances fail
by John A. Sullivan III 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

I believe I have tested this on both Linux and Windows - becoming a bit of a blur after a long hot day!. In previous versions of X2GoClient, I could open multiple instances and connect to multiple different X2Go Server simultaneously. It was not official and it generated a few errors but it worked. This is actually a highly desirable feature for a possible very large account of ours. For some reason, that has stopped working in 3.99. It did not work in 3.0.1.18 either. It does work in Pyhoca so I do not think it is an impossibility. If at all possible, we would like to see this functionality restored - preferably officially but even accidentally as it was would do :) Thanks - John

[PATCH] Edit x2goclient docu
by Moritz Struebe 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

Hi there, here is a small patch for the x2goclient-man-page. The wording is a bit different to the help of the client itself. Is it reasonable to reuse the output of man for the application? That way there is no need to keep the documentation in sync. Cheers Morty -- Dipl.-Ing.

x2goprint user creation on x2goserver installation

Hi devs, I have just realized that we do not create the x2goprint account on x2goserver installation. This is probably the reason why people report problems around X2go printing.

rename of x2godesktopsharing group
by Mike Gabriel 14 Aug '11

Hi all, I have had another look at x2godesktopsharing and I would propose a change of group membership for users who are allowed to use x2godesktopsharing. Formerly, this was group ,,x2gousers''.

x2go printing follow up
by Ted Barnes 14 Aug '11

14 Aug '11

Hi All: We are experimenting with X2go (very cool), but having a devil of a time getting printing to work. This request for help is keying off of posts by John Sullivan and Mario Oroz (thanks so much for those, guys, e.g., see tread http://www.mail-archive.com/x2go-user@lists.berlios.de/msg00104.html and http://www.mail-archive.com/x2go-user@lists.berlios.de/msg00115.html) We are having pretty much the same problem as described there. We are assuming that X2go printing in general can be made "to work" and that this is a matter of something we are doing wrong (maybe starting with the install?), some necessary "tweaks", etc. We'd like to post this on the developer's list too to see if that's helpful. We're hoping to get a number of questions answered, and have provided what may be "too much" description below: Questions: Q: Did we miss something during the setup and installation process? Q: Our server does not have a /root/.x2go/ssh/.x2oprint/id_dsa" directory or id_dsa file - do these need to get created by hand? In fact, our server does not have an "id_dsa" file anywhere on the machine. If we need to add this, how does one do so (i.e., using the normal ssh key creation process)? We have some other dsa files, but not one with the specific name id_dsa (i.e., can we use one of the existing ones in /etc/ssh?). Q: We assume X2goprint and cups-x2go perl scripts are part of this picture. We don't believe they are being called by the printing process - how would we tell? If they are necessary but not getting called, thoughts as to why they are not getting invoked when we print and how to fix this? Q: In testing (where we simulate what we imagine the printing process to be by doing each step manually) when we issue the .ready command, why does that only seems to work sometimes as judged by the x2go print client popping on the XP side? Does that tell us something? Q: Should printing be putting jobs in "/" (is that normal)? Does the x2goprint script know what to grab based on job#s? We assume this all should work with multiple users and the x2goscript identifies which jobs to grab and put them individual user spool queues. Q: To work, should x2goprinting pass the print file from the server through the ssh connection to the client? Is this in part an "ssh passing the file" problem? We can connect through putty from the client to the server, and assume we have the keys correct because we can connect from XP to the Ubuntu server via x2go in the first place. Back to the lack of an id_dsa file? Again, we're not sure that printing is invoking the right scripts to begin with. Q: Assuming we get this working, we also assume that on the Ghostview/Ghostscript side we shouldn't be having to put the name of the file in the command line, nor actually having to use the command line. I.e., there is an option there to print that refers to whatever default printer we have set on the XP machine, but currently nothing happens if we use that particular option instead of the command line. Q: Should we be using Posgress instead of SQLite? We are assuming that SQLite is fine until we want to deal with load balancing. DESCRIPTION We are connecting from XP machines using x2goclient to Ubuntu Server 9.10 (connecting is pretty consistent, a few issues now and then but all in all it works well) over Comcast or Fios connection (DSL too slow). We are using the X2go with SQLite, cups-x2togo and x2goprint; we have not installed any of the optional "bindings" packages. We used visudo to add the line "x2goprint All=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/x2goprint", and added an "x2goprinter" user by hand (that action also created an "x2goprinter" group to which we added our test user accounts). We have tried uncommenting the settings to activate them in "/etc/cups/cups-x2go.conf" (even though we understand these settings to be used only for a separate cups server) with no change. As noted above, our server does not have an id_dsa file and while we suspect that as being part of the problem we would have assumed that file would be created as part of the install pocess. On the server, we have a minimal "Ubuntu Desktop" installed so we can use Firefox to browse from the server. We have GSview 4.9 and Ghostscript 9.02 installed on the XP clients. We are trying to print to an older HP Laserjet 4000 shared out on local XP machine (this 2nd machine is not one connecting to the Ubuntu server, no X2go on it, no Ghostview or Ghostscript) and another HP color laser that is a network device. All printing behavior is the same regardless of which printer we try. We are hoping outlining the following will help describe what we think is going on, and possible not working: 1) On the 9.10 Ubunu server, we installed X2go printing. If we go to System->Administration->Printing, we can see a "Generic-Cups-X2go-Printer" and it is active. Its properties include a URI of "cups-x2go:/". On the same Printer Configuration window, if we press Server->Connect the resulting Cups server is "/var/run/cups/cups.sock". We are using a 64 bit machine, and can find two instances of the "cups-x2go" and maybe this is part of the problem (one is is /usr/lib64/cups/backend, the other in usr/lib/cups/backend)? 2) If we print from the server, we briefly see a job get created both on the top (right) panel and if we are watching in the Print Configuration window. Jobs are stored in "/" and stay there until we delete or move them with names that follow the syntax "jobname-username-cupsjob#". Their permissions are root as owner, lp as group, and no access for users. For each print file, there is another cups file of some sort stored in "var/spool/cups" with names like "c00052". This describes what occurs consistently. The jobs get "printed" but nothing happens on the windows client side or on the printer. 3) In troubleshoot this, we have tried manually changing the permissions on the print job files stored in "/" (so the current user is the owner, as well as leaving the group either as "lp" or trying "x2goprinter" to which our users belong or changing the group to the current user), moving them into a dynamic spool folder that we believe gets generated dynamically after trying to print in each log in session. We believe the spool folder directory is /tmp/spool_username/username-sessionID_stDGNOME_dp32. We think this either gets created or we can make it accessible by manually issuing a "Mount" command. We we manually move print jobs into this folder and from the command line issue echo "63-username-cupsjob####" >> 63-username-cupsjob####.ready where the #### are the actual numbers for the print job. The permissions change when we move the file - owner becomes user 1006, group is 513 (thanks to John and Mario for providing this technique). Sometimes we can see the .ready file in the dynamic spool folder, sometimes not. Often but not always on the XP client side, we get the "Print - x2go client" window from the Ghost apps. None of the settings work unless we use the command line option along the lines of ""C:\Program Files\Ghostgum\gsview\gsprint.exe" -query -color 71-username-cupsjob16907", in other words having to specifically name the print job in the command line. Occasionally (and this may be irrelevant but only when we try to print a test page, never a real document) something comes out the printer (but again, only if we use a test page). Most often, we get a dos window with an error message "Last OS error: No such file or directory GPL Ghostscript 9.02: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1" so it sounds like this is an ssh issue where the file doesn't actually cross over, though it's puzzling then why we would ever have gotten a few print attempts to work. In System Monitor, no new items seem to appear (x2goagent and x2goruncommand are sleeping), so as best we can tell the x2goprint and cups-x2go perl scripts aren't being called, but we're not sure. When we tried to run the x2goprint script through a debugger, it quits early on on the elsif statement. if (scalar(@ARGV) ==1) { system ("su @ARGV[0] -c \"x2golistsessions --all-servers\" "); } elsif (scalar(@ARGV) != 4) { print STDERR "ERROR: Usage:\nx2goprint user session file titleFile\nx2goprint user\n"; exit 1; } We can't tell if this is because the script is supposed to be called from something else and the @ARGV is populated that way, but again we don't believe the script gets called by the Printing action. Because the script appears to use "x2godbwrapper" in /usr/lib/x2go" we tried making that file execuable with no change.

x2go session crash problem
by Wladimir 09 Aug '11

09 Aug '11

Hello, I am having a problem with x2go: regularly, after I close a random window in the session, the entire session terminates. It just disappears and the connection is lost. When I reconnect I get a new session. This seems especially to happen when closing full screen and other large windows. I've tried with 16-png and 16-jpg I seem to be reliably able to reproduce this by starting the android emulator 5 times, closing it immediately by clicking the 'x' every time. I have the versions from the latest nightly build image on Ubuntu; (64 bit packages) x2goagent 3.5.0.2-0~48~maverick1 x2goserver 3.0.99.5-0~187~maverick1 I wouldn't mind doing some debugging with gdb; however, I have no idea where to start, and could find no information on server-side debugging. Is there a server (debug) log somewhere? Cheers, Wladimir

Hi all, thanks to everyone (esp. to John) for taking such a meticulous look at the latest x2goclient 3.99.0.0 (Win32 version). There obviously seem to be quite some open issues that we have to cross-check on our own development/testing systems. Alex (the core developer of x2goclient) will do that ASAP, we hope to come up with some feedback, patches, comments by the end of next week. If that gets delayed, I will let you know about the delay and come up with another timeline. Unfortunately, as X2go is not a commercial project, this cannot be any quicker. We apologize for this!!! If there are people out there you can read/write C code, please feel free to clone git://code.x2go.org/x2goclient.git and cross-read the code. Some other problems, however, may arise from x2goagent, as well. So you might use git://code.x2go.org/x2goagent.git for lecture as well...

x2goclient libssh dependency for Ubuntu
by Mike Gabriel 02 Aug '11

Hi Reinhard, Morty, the latest commit to X2go Git will break x2goclient builds on Launchpad for lucid, maverick and natty. x2goclient depends on libssh-4 (>=0.4.7). Do you think either of you could provide a libssh-4 backport for lucid, maverick and natty on the x2go Launchpad PPA? I will not have the time for it within the next two weeks so it would be really great if also Ubuntu users could take advantage of a fully working x2goclient. For packages.x2go.org (Debian) I am currently providing backports. The libssh-4 update will fix then handling of multiple SSH forwarding channels. THANKS!

Eliptical SSH keys and X2go client (was Re: [X2go-User] Autolaunching)
by Mike Gabriel 31 Jul '11

31 Jul '11

Hi, I am cross-posting this x2go-user thread to x2go-dev as it seems that there is a SSH problem when eliptical curve keys are used... On Sa 30 Jul 2011 23:23:40 CEST CACook(a)quantum-sci.com wrote: > OK it seems clear that this is a bug with the client. > > It does not recognize the new eliptical curve keys. x2goclient uses the system's SSH library (libssh). Could you check the version you have installed on your system? I would be good if you could compose a complete bug report (what did you do, what did you expect, what happened, what systems and versions did you use, etc.), so that the devs have a cook recipe to reproduce your issues. Could you also test your pub/priv key pair with pyhoca-gui? It uses an SSH implementation called Python Paramiko and it is a complete rewrite of libssh-stuff in Python. I suppose it neither supports those keys but it would be good to know for certain. Thanks for staying on this!!!

x2go in OS X Lion
by Joachim Tingvold 31 Jul '11

31 Jul '11

Hi, I'm not sure if this has been discussed previously, but PowerPC-support was removed in OS X Lion. Since x2go uses nxproxy, which is compiled on PPC, it fails to display the remote desktop (it connects and creates sessions just fine), yielding the following error in Finder: "You can't open the application nxproxy because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." A quick Google-search yields a FAQ at NoMachine[1] explaining the issue. Trying to find a way to resolve this, I downloaded the NX 4 Preview for OS X, but the nxproxy isn't present in these packages. Has anyone found a way to make x2go work in OS X Lion? [1] <http://www.nomachine.com/ar/view.php?ar_id=AR05I00593> -- Joachim (sorry for long lines, Mail.app is still broken in Lion, and now there is no way to downgrade to the Mail.app-version in 10.6.1 (-: )

PROPOSAL: X2go session cache deletion (client-side)
by Mike Gabriel 30 Jul '11

30 Jul '11

Hi all, for post-Baikal coding here the first proposal to get rid of (or minimize) the lost .x2go/<session> directories: 1. Place file ,,profilename'' in the .x2go/<session-name> directory to become able to relate between server and client. 2. When connecting to an X2go server do the following: o do everything from now in background, 2 minutes after the session has started o get a session list from the server o check local session directories in .x2go/ for matching sessions o for any session that is in R or S state on the server: keep the local session directory o for any other session directory on the client that contains a profilename file with the currently connected profilename in it: remove the local session directory as the session is obviously not valid any more on the server 3. On session profile renames: remove all cached .x2go/<session> directories for the old session profile name. Feedback!!!

3.00 Testing - BIG PROBLEM - Printing crashes
by John A. Sullivan III 30 Jul '11

30 Jul '11

Hello, all. I tested printing for the first time on a heuler client using our old 3.0.1-5 servers. Printing crashes x2goclient completely. I was not able to print even once thought I tried several different ways including sending the print to PDF reader instead of the printer. The print dialog appears and, as soon as I click on print, the entire x2goclient disappears. I don't have time to run an strace on it today. I believe Phil has also seen this. Has anyone else? We certainly can't release it this way. Thanks - John

3.99 Testing - stray deletes
by John A. Sullivan III 29 Jul '11

29 Jul '11

Hello, all. At first I thought this was my imagination but it is happening regularly and is a serious problem. Since upgrading to 3.99 on Debian Squeeze, I am getting lots of random delete key activations. I'll be reading a mail and it will suddenly disappear or a couple of mails will disappear from the Inbox. I then unhide deleted mails and see they've been deleted. I'll have some code open or a document and I'll suddenly see the document changed indicator activated. I'll look and there are missing letters. It's not even rare - it is a many times a day event. Has anyone else noticed this? - John

suidperl depreciated upstream?
by Milan Knížek 27 Jul '11

27 Jul '11

Hello List! perl-suid is the run-time dependency of x2goserver from the current Git. I have spent some time searching for a package (or PKGBUILD script) for Arch Linux and have not succeeded. Having also checked the current source code of Perl, I found the reason for it - the INSTALL file reads: ----- suidperl suidperl was an optional component of earlier releases of perl. It is no longer available. Instead, use a tool specifically designed to handle changes in privileges, such as sudo. ----- (I am aware about the sudo vs suidperl discussion held in February this year on the mailing list.) Is there any solution for those running the most recent perl (and for future in general)?

Command line alternatives to x2goclient-cli
by Daniel Lindgren 27 Jul '11

27 Jul '11

Hello. I mainly use x2goclient-cli to start/resume x2go sessions, for these reasons: - No sessions have to be created in the GUI, all necessary options are available as command line parameters. I can use aliases for all my sessions and they work on any machine that has x2goclient-cli installed, no further configuration necessary. - Easier to start multiple x2go sessions than with the QT client. - Automatically resumes existing session or starts a new one if needed. If I've interpreted recent mail traffic (and roadmap in wiki) correctly, x2goclient-cli is deprecated and will no longer be actively develeoped. As far as I can see there currently are two alternatives to using x2goclient-cli: - x2goclient (the QT client) with command line options. - pyhoca-cli. x2goclient works quite well from the command line (with --hide), but unfortunately you can't create a session only with command line options, it needs a manually (GUI) created session to be able to connect. If you use x2goclient on multiple machines with multiple sessions, it takes a lot of work to set them all up. If you want to change or add anything, all clients will have to be manually updated. pyhoca-cli supports needed command line options, but can't automatically resume an existing session, you have to manually list existing sessions and manually tell which session you want to reconnect to. Also, closing the window terminates the session, x2goclient and -cli suspend the session, you have to press Ctrl-C to suspend a pyhoca-cli session which is cumbersome if you've put it in the background. Are there any plans to add command line functionality to x2goclient to make it possible to connect/resume sessions without having to define them in the GUI? As far as I can see, the option --user would need to accept non-LDAP usernames and the options --server and --ssh-key would have to be added. Alternatively, can pyhoca-cli be updated with: - An option to automatically resume an existing session if there is one or create a new one if there isn't. - An option to suspend a running session if the windows is closed, not terminate it. Makes it possible to start pyhoca-cli in the background. Cheers, Daniel

3.99 Testing - General sluggishness
by John A. Sullivan III 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

I suppose I'll cover this one next as John Williams raised one of the issues. This is another Windows only issue. This issue has two categories. It is complicated by the packing problem because we can only run the Windows client now with sub-optimal packing but it was a problem before the corruption issue struck. Screen painting is just slower - not just a little slower - a lot slower. The typical anecdotal test I've been using is scrolling through my Evolution Inbox. Evolution has always seemed to have terrible graphics handling. I don't know what it does but it is always sluggish and awkward - thus an excellent test of how well we handle challenging graphics. Even under Linux on a LAN, scrolling is miserably slow. Shift down arrow and wait 1/4 second for a response. This is really annoying. However, in Windows, it is wait 1/2 to 3/4 seconds for a response. This takes it from annoying to dangerous as users wind up deleting or opening unintended emails, i.e., the hold the shift down arrow until they think they have highlighted the mails they want and then press enter. What they don't realize is that five more emails will be selected because of the delay between what they see and the key buffer. The other problem is a show stopper but I'm not sure it is an X2Go issue. I think this is the same issue John Williams is seeing. We see it only in Windows and Iceweasel. It appears that Iceweasel hangs for quite a long time - not just a few seconds. My guess is 30 seconds to a minute or more. The system is really not hung. All other applications work fine and the screen paints normally. It is just the Iceweasel screen which does not paint. Then, all at once, all the keystrokes and clicks are suddenly executed. It's as if the events are being buffered or stored and not sent. Although we cannot rule it out, we think we have only seen this in a single scenario - when using the Zimbra web client chat feature. All other browsing and multi-tab activity seems to be fine but, as soon as someone sends me a chat message, Iceweasel painting stops . . . some of the time. Other times it works perfectly fine. Once, it gave me a white screen of death. Another time, it completely killed vcxsrv. Most of the time, it causes this event execution delay. I can merrily go and use other applications and all events are processed with no noticeable delay; I just can use Iceweasel. Then, everything catches up, all the events are processed, and all is well with the world once again. Zimbra is a heavy AJAX application. I don't know if the application John Williams is using is also heavily AJAX driven - John

3.99 Testing - Clean up of old installations
by John A. Sullivan III 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

It does not seem that we do a good job of cleaning up after ourselves in Windows after uninstalling. Perhaps this is intentional but I would think we should at least give an option for complete removal. While working on the packing problem, I scoured through file system and registry to ensure I had cleaned everything. The ~/.x2go directory remained in place after uninstalling. We also left the registry entries in place. I also noticed there were Cygwin entries in the registry. I do not know if these were left over from the 3.0.1-4 installation or from Pyhoca. We do not want to delete them if there is an independent Cygwin installation but, if the only one is the one installed by an old x2goclient, I would think we should remove references to it in the registry - John

I would expect that <ALT><TAB> would operate within the X2Go desktop when in full screen mode. Arguably, we might even want it when in Windowed mode or at least as a toggleable option. It is not behaving that way. In some ways, that is fortuitous because of the bug of not being able to leave full screen mode - <ALT><TAB> is the only way I have seen to escape. I know this can work because Phil had it working in our labs although I'm not sure it that was in all modes or only rootless. I do not know if is is simply a command line switch we need to pass to vcxsrv but not having it has an impact on end user productivity. Thanks - John

This one is on Linux. If I suspend a session from my Trinity desktop on Squeeze, I get a knotify: no process found error message - John
