Bug#541: Patch to close Bug #525 has undesirable side effects
by Stefan Baur 08 Jul '14

08 Jul '14

Package: x2goclient Version: 4.0.2.1 Severity: grave Hi, Alex' latest patches introduce a new and more severe bug. His idea, assuming that Mike#1. Mike#2, Mihai and me understood him correctly, is, that on Windows, users shouldn't start x2goclient.exe any more, but rather the new x2gohelper.exe. ==>Alex, if we're misunderstanding what you wrote, please reply and explain your intentions. Assuming we're right, your plan breaks backward compatibility when it comes to desktop shortcuts on Windows, in two places. The smaller issue is that clicking the arrow on the session tile will create a desktop shortcut that is hardcoded to x2goclient.exe instead of x2gohelper.exe. This could be fixed with a small patch. However ... The bigger issue is that *all* existing links users may have on their desktops are broken, since they point to x2goclient.exe and can't easily be changed! I have at least one customer that makes heavy use of that feature, where it would mean manually updating over 600 desktop shortcuts. That is not going to be fun! We need to find a way to achieve what you were trying to achieve without breaking backward compatibility like that. >From what I understand so far, you're trying to build a "reaper" to clean up after a dying x2golient.exe, which may have left pulseaudio, xserver and ssh daemon running. I haven't tried to figure out what your current x2gohelper.exe is trying to do, and if you made changes to x2goclient.exe as well where functionality from x2goclient.exe is moved to x2gohelper.exe. If you moved it, rather than duplicating it, that's not going to help, because it might just as well be x2gohelper.exe that dies first and you'd again leave sshd, pulseaudio, and xserver dangling. Duplicating it might work, similar to how certain malware on Windows works (two processes checking on each other and re-spawning whichever gets killed first). So you'd have x2goclient.exe on the one hand permanently checking if x2gohelper.exe is running, respawning it when necessary, and upon shutdown, "trying" to clean up behind itself by terminating sshd, pulseaudio, xserver, and finally itself. While x2gohelper.exe would be checking if x2goclient.exe is still running - if not, it will terminate sshd, pulseaudio, xserver, (if any of them are still running) and finally itself. Before you start coding, I'd like to ask this question, though: Do we really want to have a reaper mechanism that tries to clean up after a malfunctioning x2goclient.exe, or wouldn't it be better to find out why x2goclient.exe is malfunctioning, fix these issues / catch those exceptions and deal with them appropriately (i.e. properly shutting down sshd, pulseaudio and xserver before going belly-up)? The latter would mean we need more bug reports and it requires analyzing what exactly went wrong, but it would be less disturbing to x2goclient development and roll-out. Whichever path you choose, Alex, please do keep in mind that we have a release planned in the near future and your latest commits aren't exactly helpful in getting 4.0.2.1 stabilized (and I *need* 4.0.2.1 out soon, my customers are desperately waiting for it because of the improved sound that PA5 brings). It would be really really cool if you could either do your development on a separate branch that could later become 4.0.2.2, or hold back until we have released 4.0.2.1. If you don't know how to do create your own branch for development, I'm sure there is more than just one Dev on the list that will help you. Kind Regards, Stefan

Testers Wanted: X2Go Client for Windows 4.0.2.1-pre04
by Michael DePaulo 08 Jul '14

08 Jul '14

In preparation for the upcoming release of X2Go Client 4.0.2.1 (which has been delayed till after August 2nd,) a new preview build (pre04) of X2Go Client for Windows is available to download under: http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/x2goclient/previews/4.0.2.1/ It is based on commit 3d76d00. http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goclient.git;a=commit;h=3d76d001c18fef4f88c… In particular, there are 2 things we would like people to test: 1. That bug #525 is fixed.: x2goclient.exe shows "arrow and hourglass" cursor for 5 seconds during startup http://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=525 2. Testing the installer in general, particularly for regressions in internationalization. Major improvements have been made to the installer in order to provide a proper fix for bug #108. There are no longer separate fonts builds, they are included in the regular build. (There is still a debug build though.) The inclusion of the fonts makes the regular build and the debug build about 50MB instead of about 20MB. -Mike#2

Bug#108: Info on why some apps need the fonts but others don't
by Michael DePaulo 08 Jul '14

08 Jul '14

I've determined why the fonts are needed by some Linux applications, but not others. Jon TURNEY from the Cygwin X11 project gave a very good overview: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2014-07/threads.html#00002 Nomachine also had a very good explanation: http://web.archive.org/web/20100323142457/http://www.nomachine.com/download… The question is then what should the default be? misc only? or 75dpi, 100dpi, and misc? misc is 412 files at 6.80 MB (7.94 MB on disk) 75dpi is 1,897 files at 10.7 MB (15.6 MB on disk) 100dpi is 1,897 files at 12.3 MB (16.8 MB on disk) everything else is 466 files at 12.8MB (13.8 MB on disk) I am leaning towards default to only misc, and then having separate options for 75dpi, 100dpi, and for everything else.
