Hello,
I get Segmentation fault when I right-click on x2godesktopsharing icon in the system tray and choose "Activate Desktop Sharing". (Arch Linux.)
The segfault was due to non-existent "x2godesktopsharing" group in the system.
This involves two matters:
x Arch Linux does not allow for group names longer then 16 characters.
x x2godesktopsharing should check for existence of the group and quit nicely otherwise.
Since I am not a coder, I was able to solve only the first issue - patches are attached. (The debian postinst script should probably handle the original group name as well - e.g. move the members to the new group.)
It would be nice if it is accepted upstream, since a similar limitation might also exist on other *nix systems.
I need some feedback from the other devs how to handle this. We/I
changed from group x2godesktopshare to x2godesktopsharing more or less
recently, but was not aware of gid-lenght limitations in POSIX.
What do other devs think of reverting the group name change?
Mike
