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

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. Google<http://www.linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2011-06-02-002-39-MM-SW#>obtained the underlying audio technology when it acquired Global IP Solutions in May 2010. GIPS was known for it's narrowband iLBC and wideband iSAC voice codecs. These codecs, along with Google's VP8 video codec are brought together in a communications stack which includes network connection technology. The network components manage NAT and firewall traversal, implement buffering and error concealment for the audio and video streams and offer support for peer to peer connections." *

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.

x2goclient/doxygen
by Mike Gabriel 30 May '11

30 May '11

Hi devs, I have re-activated x2goclient's doxygen configuration. Now, doxygen is included in the build process and the C++ documentation of x2goclient ends up in /usr/share/doc/x2goclient/doxygen/html I have also removed old doxygen builds (outdated code documentation) from the Git repository.

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.

However, when I tested it with one of my X2go servers, it resulted in this output: mike@x2goserver:/srv/homes/mike$ xprop -root _XKB_RULES_NAMES _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xfree86", "pc105", "defkeymap", "", "" Although my keyboard file looks like this: rules=evdev model=pc105 layout=de variant=nodeadkeys options= I then grepped X2go's nxagent fork x2goagent: mike@devsystem:~/x2go-upstream/x2goagent$ grep -ri defkeymap * mike@devsystem:~/x2go-upstream/x2goagent$ -> that is: it resulted in no output at all... @devs: is there any chance that we incorporate latest nxagent code into x2goagent????
