TCE-Server
by Moritz Struebe 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

Hi Mike, at http://wiki.x2go.org/installing_x2go_thin_client_environment_debian you highly recommend to set up a server of it's own. Where is the rationale behind this strong recommendation? Especially as I can see no major security risks running the server (you need root to set it up, of course). At least none you can solve by using an extra server. But there is quite a bit of overhead running the whole thing in a VM as it has mainly I/O. And if one already has a nfs running, I can really see no need for the extra overhead.

Dear X2go-users/-devs/-other-wise-interested, we have slightly changed use cases and purposes of the X2go mailing lists: http://wiki.x2go.org/community The x2go-announcement list is now fully dedicated to human-readable X2go announcements (like this one). Note that we have disabled digests for this list. You can expect it to be of very low traffice from now on. The Git tags that have been posted to the x2go-announcement list recently have now been moved to a different read-only list: x2go-tags(a)lists.berlios.de, people on x2go-announcement who were interested in this automatic postings from X2go Git should subscribe to x2go-tags now. Please see the wiki page given above for details.

minimum memory for thin client
by kamerun＠immerda.ch 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

hello, i work now more and less 2 years with an x2go network in cameroon and it works fine, so thanks for your work. i would like to participate, but here the situation is crazy: in few years we will no more recognise africa and the technical level of the discussion is too high question 1 i would like to know the minimum of memory for x2go thin clients, i have read the x2go docu and google but i don't find the answer. i know that we need 64 mb for ltsp, i suppose it is a more for x2go thin client, so how much it is? question 2 as our connection here in cameroon is very poor, we have done in europe a repository usb hard drive, it works well. i have done a script to install a x2go server and it goes very fast: less than 15 minutes the x2go server is working, if interesse i can post the script. question 3 i come to europe begin of july for 2-3 months, i would like to meet people to experience installation, use of x2go, exist a workshop or something like this in the holiday period? with a cameroonian woman and some friends, we want introduce low power network (one x2go server 4 client) with solar power and with x2go. hope to see you michel -- kamerun(a)immerda.ch homepage: http://sokolo.cronopios.org linux friends sokolo new road limbe / cameroun phone : (00237) 743 514 33

plasma-widget-x2go
by Mike Gabriel 11 Jun '11

11 Jun '11

Hi all, one of my todos resulting from a phone call with Heinz was to rename x2goplasmoidbindings to make it integrate in the package naming of plasma/kde4 widgets more smoothly. That is: Git project: x2goplasmabindings Source package: x2goplasmabindings Only binary package: plasma-widget-x2go You should be able to upgrade your package from x2gplasmoid/x2goplasmoidbindings to plasma-widget-x2go without issues. If not, please report on x2go-dev ML.

Hi Mike, could you add the diffs? At the moment this isn't that helpful - except that there actually was a commit. It would also be nice, if you could move the first block to the end of the mail (I alread know, that it is generated by a hook) and replace the description of the repo in the topic with it's name to simplify filtering.

x2golistsessions output
by Mike Gabriel 10 Jun '11

10 Jun '11

Hi Alex, on some rare occasions (PyHoca-GUI queries the session status every five minutes) the x2golistsessions command returns/stdouts a weird value: e.g. |mike-142-1307541552_stDGNOME_dp24|142|vidar.das-netzwerkteam.de|R|08.0611 15:59:12|||||08.0611 15:59:12|2000|0| This x2golistsessions output is obviously incomplete. Do you have a clue why there are some values missing? It mostly happens during the first 5-10 seconds of a newly started session. Any ideas?

x2go rdesktop connexion credential forwarding
by Denis Cardon 06 Jun '11

06 Jun '11

Hi everyone, First I want to thank you all for your great work! X2go is much more stable than freenx/neatx and usb key support is working great. I am currently trying to use x2go to compress an rdp connexion. Browsing the mailing list, I have seen that there are already people using it this way. I wanted to now if there is a way to forward the credential from the x2go connection to the rdesktop connexion? It want to avoid the login screen on the windows machine, the login/password being the same for the x2go connexion (ldap based setup). Keep on the good job!

Segmentation fault with x2goclient
by Martin Oehler 05 Jun '11

05 Jun '11

Hello list, I'm using the x2go squeeze packages on both server and client - everything is pretty standard. The client is started with x2goclient --pgp-card The first connect to the server always works without any problems (we will find out that it has nothing to do with "first", but since the client segfaults at the second connect it is always the first connect that works). x2golistsessions displays 19492|knoppix-52-1306738000_stDLXDE_dp24|52|ahostname| S|30.0511 08:46:40|0aa7e04c159a1a4db1ab1fc4b293fbe1| IP|30007|30008|05.0611 16:33:28|1000|546726|30009| After pulling the smart card and inserting the card again, the pinentry shows up but the session reconnect does not work. The client segfaults. I recompiled the current x2goclient from git with debugging support and started the binary with above arguments from gdb, resulting in the following backtrace: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0xb7002ef2 in QString::operator=(QString const&) () from /usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4 (gdb) (gdb) bt #0 0xb7002ef2 in QString::operator=(QString const&) () from /usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4 #1 0x080a287f in ONMainWindow::getSessionFromString (this=0x81cc910, string=...) at onmainwindow_part2.cpp:336 #2 0x080a3574 in ONMainWindow::selectSession (this=0x81cc910, sessions=...) at onmainwindow_part2.cpp:924 #3 0x080b0e3f in ONMainWindow::slotListSessions (this=0x81cc910, result=true, output=..., proc=0x8393750) at onmainwindow_part2.cpp:306 #4 0x0810b36e in ONMainWindow::qt_metacall (this=0x81cc910, _c=QMetaObject::InvokeMetaMethod, _id=39, _a=0xbfffeb80) at moc_onmainwindow.cpp:285 [...] The output from x2golistsessions that produced this segfault is DISPLAY=52 19492|knoppix-52-1306738000_stDLXDE_dp24|52|ahostname| S|30.0511 08:46:40|0aa7e04c159a1a4db1ab1fc4b293fbe1| IP|30007|30008|05.0611 16:39:33|1000|546804|30009| I can reproduce this behaviour when starting x2golistsessions via ssh for a short time after a session is suspended. After approximately 30-60 seconds the server returns the working output without the "DISPLAY=" line. Connections to a server running on an older Debian Lenny work without problems, the result from x2golistsessions is consistent. The cause of this behaviour is the inconsistent output from x2golistsessions but I would consider the client crash as at least a bit annoying and would propose to check the string before assignment. Can we discuss a bugfix for this? I really don't know why the DISPLAY-line is returned for a short time after a session suspend, the 52 can be seen in the normal one-line-output from x2golistsessions. Thanks and kind regards, Martin

Can x2go make use of Google's Open Sourcing announcement for WebRTC
by brian mullan 03 Jun '11

I read about this today and and although not a developer I wondered if this could possibly be another means to migrate from the NX libraries ? It is for real time communications? http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Google-open-source-WebRTC-for-open-v… *"Google's WebRTC codecs and intellectual property are all royalty-free, come with a patent grant and the source code is available under a BSD licence.

x2goagent/NXAgent bug with evdev keyboard driver
by Mike Gabriel 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

hi all, in a phone call with Heinz yesterday I addressed an issue with x2goagent that has also been an issue with old versions of nxagent in case the client system uses the evdev keyboard driver (AltGr key gets stuck, sometimes als the Shift and Ctrl key). The problem is documented on NoMachine's site: http://www.nomachine.com/tr/view.php?id=TR02H02327 As my development notebook uses evdev, I encounter this issue regularly (and that's my personal reason to get rid of this bug ASAP). The current plan is to incorporate the latest changes in nxagent's code (3.5.0-x) into x2goagent before Baikal.

X2go TCE unter Debian Squeeze (tmpfs branch)
by Mike Gabriel 31 May '11

31 May '11

Hi all, today I have had the first positive results with the tmpfs approach of the new X2go Thin Client Environment. For Debian squeeze there had to be made quite a few changes o X2go TCE with local session profiles o X2go Thin Client Shutdown GUI o X2go CD manager support o X2go USB mounting o X2go and Pulseaudio o X2go eject tool (not yet tested due to virtualization) I would be grateful if Morty, Alex, Heinz, Reinhard could take a look at the latest code and give an opinion if we should move the tmpfs branch features to master. The current x2gothinclient packages (Debian) on packages.x2go.org already reflect the latest state of the tmpfs branch (currently building the latest version, should be available in 20 minutes).

x2goserver + x2goserver-extensions
by Mike Gabriel 31 May '11

31 May '11

Hi all, Heinz, Alex and I have just had the idea to split the x2goserver package up into two parts: o x2goserver: everything that is needed to run with the legacy x2goclient o x2goserver-extensions: scripts, tools etc. that may be needed by other X2go client implementations (e.g. Python X2go) The change is already in Git. The two scripts I posted yesterday to the list have already been moved to the new x2goserver-extensions package. PLEASE NOTE!!! These changes will for now only occur in the nightly builds (Debian/Ubuntu).

x2goserver: x2gosetkeyboard
by Mike Gabriel 30 May '11

30 May '11

Hi devs, for introspection I have added an x2goserver script: x2gosetkeyboard to X2go Git: x2gosetkeyboard script: http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goserver.git;a=commitdiff x2gosetkeyboard man page: http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goserver.git;a=blob_plain;f=.build_man2html… The script takes a ,,keyboard'' file from $HOME/.x2go/C-$X2GO_SESSION and parses its contents for the identifiers rules, model, layout, variant, options. These options will then be passed on to a setxkbmap call. The keyboard file layout has been adopted from the free NX project. In the free NX project they have patched nxagent to digest this ,,keyboard'' file. If the ,,keyboard'' file lacks presence, nothing happens. I would be grateful if people could take a look and comment on potential problems, security issues etc. I would like to use this script as a post-startup command for python-x2go. If you see anything problematic about this piece of code, please let me know and we try to figure out what solution may be best for all.

x2goagent 3.4.0.5 vs. nxagent 3.5.0-1
by Mike Gabriel 30 May '11

30 May '11

Hi Alex, to this mail I have attached a diff between our current x2goagent and the newly released nxagent 3.5.0-1 by NoMachine. Do you think you could take a look at it? Which files of the NX code base have been customized for X2go? The latest nxagent seems to have undergone quite some work, I guess it would be good to provide an updated version with Baikal(?). For someone who knows the x2goagent differences to the old-at-fork-time-version of nxagent, this should not be a big problem.

x2goserver/x2goclient -> man pages / help with wiki pages
by Mike Gabriel 30 May '11

30 May '11

hi all, I have added man pages for x2goclient and x2goserver: http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goclient.git;a=tree;f=.build_man2html/html/… http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goserver.git;a=tree;f=.build_man2html/html/… I also started wiki pages for x2goclient (there already was some information for this) and x2goserver. For the x2goclient page maybe there is a volunteer who would like to add some more explanations about how the x2goclient GUI can be configured/used, inform about caveats etc. I guess it is completely fine, to have wiki sub-pages for x2goclient usage. For the x2goclient command line option we should refer to the x2goclient's man page. This actually also needs an update. http://wiki.x2go.org/x2goclient For the x2goserver package the new wiki page can be found here: http://wiki.x2go.org/x2goserver From my point of view this wiki page should be used for describing how X2go (server) actually works. This is quite a task and I guess there are only a few people who have dived into the internas of X2go's session handshake. However, if there is someone out there who also feels like picking up the job, that will be really appreciated!!!

added x2goversion script in x2goserver package
by Mike Gabriel 30 May '11

30 May '11

Hi devs, for supporting a more flexible client concept around X2go I have been thinking about a way of realizing server-client handshaking. Basically, the client-side can benefit from knowing individual versions of server-side installed X2go components. Yesterday, as a manifestations of this thinking process I have added an x2goversion script to the x2goserver package. It basically shows the server-side versions of installed X2go components. For the man page, refer to: http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goserver.git;a=blob_plain;f=.build_man2html… These server-side component versions are obtained from /usr/share/x2go/versions/VERSION.<x2go-comp> I have added the respective files for all server-side components in X2go's Git (base dir of each Git project: VERSION.<x2go-comp>): x2goserver, x2gognomebindings, x2gotrinitybindings, x2goplasmoidbindings, x2godesktopsharing, cups-x2go, x2goagent I have omitted the NX packages with this X2go version patch as NX code is actually not our code, so we cannot rely on retrievable version with those code projects for every Linux distribution on the market.

X2go announcement-list and messages from git-admin
by Paul van der Vlis 27 May '11

27 May '11

Hello, >From an announcement list I would expect a low volume list what gives information when a new version arrives or when there are security issues or when there is a congress or something like that. But the x2go announcement list [1] does completely something else, what I see are many change-messages from git-admin: https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/x2go-announcement/2011-April/thread.html I think it would be better to change the usage of the announcement list and to make it an informative low volume list. Further, I see on the page of the list [1] this text: -------- To post a message to all the list members, send email to x2go-announcement(a)lists.berlios.de. -------- I think that's wrong, because it's a read-only list. With regards, Paul van der Vlis. [1] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/x2go-announcement -- http://www.vandervlis.nl/

iPAD now has X and ssh
by John A. Sullivan III 24 May '11

24 May '11

Hello, all. We've received a number of queries about running X2Go on an iPAD. My understanding to this point is that the absolute fundamentals are missing. However, I was recently sent the following: i-SSH for the iPad comes up well in reviews: Description A full featured SSH and Telnet emulator of VT100, VT102, VT220, ANSI, and xterm terminals integrated with a tunneled VNC client and an X server Customer Reviews Great SSH client by Mikaey0 This is definitely a great SSH client. Everything I use works as I expect it to when connecting to my box at home. Definitely nice to see a working X server for the iPad as well! Amazingly functional by Nick75985 Continues to amaze me with new functionality I discover. Never crashed on me. Incredibly full-featured and useful app. by quantumonion Edit: Wow, TextExpander support just added! If an app could give you goose bumps, iSSH would be that app. Only two suggestions come to mind. 1. TextExpander support (done!) 2. Native Dropbox support for the connection list It's possible to save the connection list to Dropbox with the export to clipboard feature, but it'd be great to offer an option to auto-sync any changes automatically. The above are just nits though. This has become one of those indispensable apps that you'd have to pry my cold dead fingers off of before I'd give it up. Given the above, what would it take to get X2Go to run on an iPAD using i-SSH? Is anyone interested if giving it a run? It's definitely outside of our skill set. Thanks - John

nxproxy and nxcomp uploaded to Ubuntu Oneiric
by Stéphane Graber 23 May '11

23 May '11

Hello, I just finished testing nxproxy and nxcomp with x2goclient, python-x2go and qtnx on Ubuntu Oneiric. Test was successful with no regression that I could see. So I now have: - nxproxy 3.5.0-1-0ubuntu1 - nxcomp 3.5.0-1-0ubuntu1 Uploading in Oneiric, packages will be available to all users in a few minutes. As I mentioned earlier, I've been basing these two uploads on a clean NoMachine tarball and re-applied the changes from the existing Debian package and from x2go's git. They can all be found in the (relatively well documented) debian/patches/ directory of the source packages. Links: - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nxproxy/3.5.0-1-0ubuntu1 - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nxcomp/3.5.0-1-0ubuntu1 I'd think these two meet Debian criteria for upload, so if anyone with upload rights to Debian can help getting them in there it'd help minimizing the delta between Ubuntu and Debian (as I'd ask for a "sync" from Debian, thereby removing any remaining delta). The full delta with Debian/Ubuntu's current 3.2 packages is available at: - http://launchpadlibrarian.net/72109361/nxproxy_3.2.0-1-1_3.5.0-1-0ubuntu1.d… - http://launchpadlibrarian.net/72109360/nxcomp_3.2.0-7-1.1_3.5.0-1-0ubuntu1.… As promised, attached to this e-mail are a few patches which I "think" should be merged into x2go's git repository for future daily builds of the packages. - nxproxy-update-debian-control.patch: - removes the build-dep on the purely virtual libstdc++-dev which proved to not be needed (at least on Ubuntu) - adds a build-dep on dh-autoreconf - suggests qtnx as well as x2goclient - update the build-dep on debhelper (as the override in debian/rules needs a pretty recent dh) - nxproxy-update-manpage-mention-nx.patch: - update the manpage to also mention NX - nxcomp-debian-patch-sa_restorer.patch - patch taken from Debian package, fixes build on ia64 and alpha - nxcomp-debian-update-control.patch - removes the build-dep on the purely virtual libstdc++-dev which proved to not be needed (at least on Ubuntu) - update the build-dep on debhelper (as the override in debian/rules needs a pretty recent dh) - remove duplicate section tag - nxcomp-debian-update-copyright.patch - update year of NoMachine copyright The result is that both sources packages are lintian-clean with lintian 2.5 including "I:" tags. The resulting binary packages are lintian-clean with lintian 2.5 though some have "I:" tags warnings that should be fixed in the future (library symbol and some fixes for the manpage), lintian output attached. I'll now start working on python-x2go, making sure it's in shape to be added to the Ubuntu archive and will get it uploaded so hopefully it should be in Ubuntu by the end of next week (it needs to go through quite extensive review as it's a new package). Have a good weekend! -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com

x2goclient 3.0.1.18 fails due to missing files + workaround
by Milan Knížek 22 May '11

22 May '11

Hello list! the compilation of the x2goclient 3.0.1.18 fails due to missing files xsettingsui.ui, xsettingswidget.cpp, xsettingswidget.h. Those files are actually residing in ./x2goclient/* but Makefile expects them in the current directly. Instead of adjusting the Makefile, I simply moved the files to the parent directory. Then, the x2goclient compiled cleanly on Arch Linux. regards, Milan -- http://www.milan-knizek.net/ About linux and photography (Czech only) O linuxu a fotografování (pouze česky)

discussion on newly released NXv3.5 packages and X2go on pkg-x2go-devel
by Mike Gabriel 20 May '11

20 May '11

Hi all, for those being able to contribute (and not subscribed to pkg-x2go-devel on Alioth), I would like to make you aware on a discussion thread around newly released NXv3.5 sources in relation to X2go. Thread: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-x2go-devel/2011-May/thread.html Latest NX 3.5 release http://www.nomachine.com/download.php Ubuntu is probably about to use these new NX libs for X2go in Ubuntu. The current approach is also to make nxagent itself work with X2go (which might not be what we want, as x2goagent has been patched by Alex quite a bit already). The Ubuntu developer, Stéphane Graber, who is really keen to get X2go into Oneiric, is very co-operative and interested in X2go / Python-X2go. His objective is to keep everything (X2go Git, Debian, Ubuntu etc.) compatible, assure that patches are shared and that the code base is in sync, etc. But still, we (x2go-dev upstream) have to find a disposition on the dual-upstream issue around NX libs. In x2go-upstream we have to discuss if our nx* packages in Git are actually a hijack (as NoMachine still seems to be active around NX 3.5). Due to the latest NXv3.5 release by NoMachine there now exists a dual-upstream situation... This should have been avoided and now has to be dealt with. Currently, I see two possibilities (for X2go into Debian without bringing up namespace issues), but I might be lacking sight here: 1. We make X2go work with NoMachine's NX 3.5 (complemented through a patchset provided by X2go, this patchset may not break NX functionality -> qtnx, freenx, etc., but improve functionality with X2go). 2. We really fork NX libs, nxproxy (as already happened with x2goagent). That would mean a renaming of libraries and also Git projects etc, e.g.: x2goproxy, x2gocomp, x2gocompext, x2gocompshad. Please stay tuned around this topic and contribute to the discussion, if possible. 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…

Starting to get x2go into Ubuntu Oneiric
by Stéphane Graber 19 May '11

19 May '11

Hello, Last week in Budapest at the Ubuntu Developer Summit, we discussed the next steps for WebLive[1] in Ubuntu. One of the things we identified as really important is to move away from FreeNX and use X2go instead as it's a much more active project. Last week I already got our application servers running with both FreeNX and X2go and I have some experimental integration code for the Ubuntu Software Center that I'll continue working on over the next few weeks. One of the things we need to do before we can use x2go by default for WebLive is getting it into the Ubuntu archive and at least for the client part into the "main" component (supported set of packages). Today, I'm working on updating our nxproxy, libxcomp and libxcompshad packages to their latest upstream releases (3.5.0), merging the excellent packaging work the x2go team has been doing. Next on my list will be to get python-x2go into the Ubuntu archive as that's what we'll be using for our client integration (Ubuntu Software Center is in python) and finally I'll be working on getting the x2goserver itself in the repository (lower priority than the rest) so we don't need a PPA to build our servers. I hope to have most packages built for Oneiric in my test PPA (https://launchpad.net/~stgraber/+archive/experimental) so I can do some tests to make sure these don't break anything (including FreeNX/qtnx) and if everything looks good, I'll be pushing these into the archive later this week. Once I'm done and everything works for me, I'll be forwarding the list of packaging changes I had to do (if any) so we can ensure your dailybuilds and the "official" Ubuntu packages are in sync. Thanks for the great work and looking forward to working more with you.

installing/packaging X2go from tarball

18 May '11

Hi all, esp. non-deb-distro-packages, I have just set up a page in the X2go wiki that documents, which parts of X2go are installable from Makefile (by calling ,,make && make install''). The first code project I have changed in that way is x2goclient (>=3.0.1.19). The tarball has not yet been released, but the code is already available on git.x2go.org (x2goclient.git project, master branch, still tagged as 3.0.1.18). The other packages will follow in the hopefully not-too-far-away future.

x2goclient does not build for Debian sid anymore
by Mike Gabriel 17 May '11

17 May '11

Hi all, x2goclient does not build for Debian sid anymore (as of 2011/05/13). This bug may be related to a temporary inconsistency in Debian sid's libc6 (see log excerpt below). But I am not sure...

copyright headers in X2go scripts (GPL -> AGPL)
by Mike Gabriel 17 May '11

17 May '11

Hi Alex, Heinz, most X2go scripts (e.g. in the x2goserver package) lack copyright headers at the beginning of each individual script. I volunteer to add them, but I just remembered that Heinz wrote about moving to AGPL. Thus: 1) The X2go code should have copyright+license notices at the beginning of each file, individually and... 2) before adding those headers it would be optimal to change the license (if appropriate)... If you give me instructions (what project shall have what license), I can commit work to these changes (Fleißarbeit).

offline bug tracking for X2go
by Mike Gabriel 17 May '11

17 May '11

Hi all, (including Jonas Smedeguard in Cc:) in the discussion around X2go bug tracking I would like to make people aware of this overview of offline bug trackers: http://heapkeeper-heap.github.com/hh/thread_298.html My favorite in the list of offline trackers currently is ,,ditz''. Maybe we should start thinking about offline bugtracking as an option for X2go. The great disadvantage is that people cannot not send e-Mails to the tracker. The advantage is the easy-to-handle command line interface for filing/editing bugs plus a complete VCS/Git integration.

Guacamole and x2go.
by Vasilica Petcu 17 May '11

17 May '11

Hello to all, I'm interested in a possible html client for x2go. There is this project, Guacamole, which implements the HTML client for VNC protocol. Guacamole works as a wrapper for native client libraries, and has a extensible architecture, allowing to implement other protocols besides VNC. It does a tunneling via a Java Servlet. As I spoke with the developers, it is pretty easy to implement another protocol as long as there is already a native lib available. if you're interested I am available to start working on this, with the help of x2go developers and guacamole developers to implement this protocol for the guacamole project, so we all can have the benefit of a html client. Best regards, Vasilica Petcu

--password option for pyhoca-cli
by Mike Gabriel 17 May '11

17 May '11

Hi all, pyhoca-cli is a Python command-line client for X2go based on python-x2go. Initially there was a --password option with the script that allowed to script X2go session and pass-on a cleartext password. Heinz made me aware of the security breach concerning clear text passwords at the command-line (ps aux | grep --password, I complete was unaware of that at that time... ashame...). On his request I had removed the option from the code, immediately. However, inspired bei the rdesktop command (which allows a --password cmd arg) I added code to pyhoca-cli that allows to give --password at the command line or from within scripts without risking security (I hope). pyhoca-cli now rewrites the process title as shown in ps aux output and replaces the actual password by "XXXXXXX". I would be greatful if someone with Python knowlegde could cross-check the following commits: http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=pyhoca-cli.git;a=commitdiff;h=3ec0c5db1f8eb5c… http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=pyhoca-cli.git;a=commitdiff;h=bdf71da2a41cbcd… 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…

X2go app integration into application menu
by Mike Gabriel 16 May '11

16 May '11

hi all, hi esp. devs, the LinDix company in the Netherlands has asked me to work on another project in the context of X2go. A couple of weeks ago we discussed possibilities of approaching the usage of X2go in SaaS environemts (that is: not ,,Desktop as a Serice'', but Software as a Service, meaning single, dedicated applications in this context). The vision is: (a) to have a server-side X2goSSH service similar to OpenSSH that can be configured via ACLs so that remote application can be granted/denied to specific users and/or specific groups. Opposed to OpenSSH this X2go service will be able to restrict the execution of remote (server-side) commands very pedantically. (b) to provider X2go remote apps through the programmes' menu on your local desktop In this mail I will address vision (b) in detail: ==================== For embedding X2go Apps (single remote application provided via X2go in rootless mode) into the desktop application menu or for providing them as desktop links the basic ideas could be listed as follows: o all desktop links / menu links to X2go apps will launch an instance of pyhoca-gui o only the first click on such an X2go app will load the full pyhoca-gui application (as first pyhoca-gui instance) o all other clicks will launch pyhoca-gui in interprocess-communication mode - every secondly started pyhoca-gui will notify the firstly started pyhoca-gui about what to do - this will probably be approached via UDP communication (so that it will be available on Windows as well, no unix file sockets on Windows) o the first pyhoca-gui instance will listen to incoming requests and process them, such as - connect to another server and... - (...) start application A or B or C With X2go embedded apps it will be possible to compose a desktop as a mixture of locally installed applications and remote (SaaS) applications on Windows and Linux.

A couple of weeks ago we discussed possibilities of approaching the usage of X2go in SaaS environemts (that is: not ,,Desktop as a Serice'', but Software as a Service, meaning single, dedicated applications in this context). The vision is: (a) to have a server-side X2goSSH service similar to OpenSSH that can be configured via ACLs so that remote application can be granted/denied to specific users and/or specific groups. Opposed to OpenSSH this X2go service will be able to restrict the execution of remote (server-side) commands very pedantically. (b) to provider X2go remote apps through the programmes' menu on your local desktop In this mail I will address vision (a) in detail: ==================== The basic ideas of such an X2goSSH service are: o instead of using OpenSSH daemon the client connects to X2goSSH daemon o the X2goSSH service will wrap around the standard x2goserver command set o installation of X2goSSH will be optional o the client has to support the usage of the server-side X2goSSH (i.e. there will be a parallel implementation within python-x2go code) o the client has to be able to detect if it is talking to a normal OpenSSH daemon or if it is talking to the restricted X2goSSH service o the X2goSSH service will be implemented with Python-Paramiko/SSH o behind the X2goSSH service there listens an X2go'ish shell that guards and wraps around the actual execution of the already known x2go comands (note again: X2goSSH+X2goSHELL is a wrapper for x2goserver commands) o With the help of a guy from LinDix.NL (and others?) I will soon start working on a possible X2goSSH+X2goSHELL command protocol in the X2go wiki o the proposed project name will be python-x2goserver, it will contain several packages/subprojects python-x2goserver-x2gosshd python-x2goserver-x2goshell python-x2goserver-x2goacl x2gosshd (the actual daemon) Greetings + Request for Comments, 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…
