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.
