Upcoming X2Go and orca e.V. sponsorship drive
by Stefan Baur 24 Oct '22

24 Oct '22

Dear $ALL, As you might know, a few years ago, at "X2Go: The Gathering 2017", several key members of X2Go as well as members from other Remote Desktop-/Remote Application projects joined together to form the Open Remote Computing Association - orca e.V. - a registered association under Germanys Civil Code and also registered as a charitable organization, similar to a 501(c)(3) organization in the US. This June, we joined betterplace.org for easier handling of donations. They offer PayPal, SEPA Direct Debit, Credit Card, giropay/paydirekt and Wire transfer. And they also handle issuing donation receipts for us. (Note that while donations towards orca/X2Go are tax-deductible for German tax subjects, this may vary in other jurisdictions.) The Commercial and Savings Bank Ulm, where orca's bank account resides, is planning a sponsorship drive for all charitable organizations registered with them via betterplace.org, starting Monday, 2022-10-24, 09:00 CEST and ending Friday, 2022-10-28, 23:59 CEST - so that's this week. They have pooled 17 500 EUR and will distribute them across all charitable orgs registered with them that receive donations. So it's not a 1:1 matching of each donation, but the org with the biggest amount of donations gets the biggest piece of the cake, so to speak. If you can, please visit the donation sites below and send a few €€€ our way. (But don't feel bad if you can't. Times are rough. We get that.) We'd prefer if you use the German-language donation forms because with these, we know for sure that the donation counts towards the bank's pledge. However, if you're afraid of hitting the wrong button in a German-language form, feel free to use the link that points to the English version. To donate towards X2Go: German: <https://www.wirwunder.de/projects/111056?wirwunder=235> English: <https://www.betterplace.org/en/projects/111056?wirwunder=235> To donate towards orca e.V., our umbrella org: German: <https://www.wirwunder.de/projects/111057?wirwunder=235> English: <https://www.betterplace.org/en/projects/111057?wirwunder=235> Kind Regards, and Thanks in Advance, Stefan Baur X2Go's Community Manager -- BAUR-ITCS UG (haftungsbeschränkt) Geschäftsführer: Stefan Baur Eichenäckerweg 10, 89081 Ulm | Registergericht Ulm, HRB 724364 Fon/Fax 0731 40 34 66-36/-35 | USt-IdNr.: DE268653243

Install and setup WSL2 based on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install (exact component versions can be found at https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/8706) 2. Install x2goserver in WSL2 based on https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:installation:x2goserver 3. Install x2goclient on host Windows system based on https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:installation:x2goclient 4. Download tarball from https://github.com/tmux/tmux/releases/tag/3.3a (currently latest version, older version i.e. 3.2a installed via `sudo apt install tmux` also encounters same problem) 5. Install tarball in WSL2 based on instructions at https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki/Installing#from-source-tarball 6. Start session on x2goclient and run `tmux` 7. Run `wslvar -S` within tmux session 8. Run `wslpath -w "${HOME}"` within tmux session Expected results: 1. output of `wslvar -S` within tmux should be ``` Name Value ---- ----- ALLUSERSPROFILE C:\ProgramData ... windir C:\Windows ZES_ENABLE_SYSMAN 1 ``` 2. output of `wslpath -w "${HOME}"` within tmux should be `\\wsl$\<distro_name>\home\<username>` Actual results: 1. Running `wslvar -S` within tmux running on x2goserver yields no output 2. Running `wslpath -w "${HOME}"` within tmux on x2goserver returns `wslpath: /home/<username>: Invalid argument` Further information: As mentioned at https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/8706#issuecomment-1211326423, running tmux in WSL2 shell first then on x2goserver causes `wslvar -S` and `wslpath -w "${HOME}"` to work properly but they break if tmux is run on x2goserver first

Bug#1590: x2goclient fails to connect after updating qt5 libs to 5.15.x
by Baese Alexander 15 Aug '22

15 Aug '22

Package: x2goclient Version: 4.1.2.2 Hello all, Just finished a update run in our environment. After that the x2go client could not establish a connection via xfce. After a long bug hunt we found out that updating the qt5 libs actually breaks the client and it will no longer build up xfce sessions (RDP worked flawlessly). Working libs: qt5-qtsvg-5.12.5-1.el8.x86_64 qt5-qtx11extras-5.12.5-1.el8.x86_64 updated to (not working): qt5-qtx11extras-5.15.2-2.el8.x86_64 qt5-qtsvg-5.15.2-4.el8.x86_64 Unfortunately I am not able to post logs / more detailed specs due to regulations. But maybe this can be recreated in a test scenario. Greetings

Bug#1541: x2go graphics issue on MacOS Big Sur
by Kailin Zhuang 12 Aug '22

12 Aug '22

Package: x2goclient Version: 4.1.2.1 I'm using X2Go to run scientific software on our campus compute cluster (since 2019). I recently installed X2Go on a new MacBook Pro 2020 with the M1 chip running Big Sur. Immediately after launching X2Go, the following message repeats about 10 times per minute until I close X2Go: com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.apple.mdworker.shared.XXX): Service exited due to SIGKILL | sent by mds[499]\ When I start Matlab (a scientific application I use for research), the x2go window turns black and becomes unusable. I'm enclosing a screenshot. The same Matlab software works as expected (no display problems) when I run it remotely via ssh (with X11 forwarding enabled) instead of X2Go.

Infinite loop in X2GoRevFwTunnel handler on socket error
by Tomáš Cerha 22 Jun '22

22 Jun '22

Dear list members, We develop a custom client for our application using python-x2go and we make use of X2GoRevFwTunnel to expose some client side functionality to the server side app. We observed regular X2Go session freezing after about 3 hours running on Windows (several versions, reliably reproducible on Windows 10) with the following output: WARN: Reverse tunnel <paramiko.Channel 16 (open) window=2036405 -> <paramiko.Transport at 0x4e4f270L (cipher aes128-ctr, 128 bits) (active; 2 open channel(s))>> encoutered socket error: [Errno 10054] An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host This message comes from x2go_rev_forward_channel_handler() and if the error persists, the code loops endlessly. This freezes the whole session (IMHO due to cooperative multitasking not having a chance to switch). The attached patch solves the problem by breaking after catching the socket error 1024 times. This leads to the tunnel being closed, which allows the application to reopen it automatically and recover gracefully from the situation. This seems suffitiently conservative, seems to make sense generally and definitely helps in our case. Of course, there may be other ways to deal with the problem, so the patch is just a suggestion. We currently work around the problem by monkey patching the function x2go_rev_forward_channel_handler(), but of course, we would love to see the problem solved upstream. Thank you for considering the patch and for your great work on the X2Go project. Best regards Tomáš Cerha

Running X2Go on Mac OS
by Tomáš Cerha 22 Jun '22

22 Jun '22

Dear list members, I recently managed to make our python-x2go based app run on Mac OS with some tiny changes to python-x2go, so I wanted to share these changes with others and suggest merging them upstream. The first problem was in defaults.py, which includes some specific settings for different OSes based on platform.system(). The problem is, that the section for Mac OS wrongly assumes that platform.system() returns ‘Mac’, while it actually returns ‘Darwin’. AFAIK, it has always been so. For more insight see for example https://bugs.python.org/issue7850. The attached file 0001-Fix-Mac-OS-recognition.patch fixes that. The second problem was that we need to install the NX proxy binary to a different path than "/usr/bin/nxproxy”. For that purpose I made use of the environment variable NXPROXY_BINARY which is already used on Windows. This is implemented by the second patch file 0002-Respect-NXPROXY_BINARY-also-on-non-Windows-systems.patch. For consistency, it might also make sense to use this variable only if it contains a valid path, as it is done on Windows, but I didn’t do that in the patch. Thank you for considering merging these patches upstream and thank you for the great work on X2Go. Best regards Tomas Cerha
