I've found some inconsistent X2GO client behaviour, and was hoping
someone could shed some light.In short, it seems that the C++ x2goclient for Mac is able to handle
"session resizing" correctly, but Pyhoca-GUI for Linux isn't, even though they are configured with
exaclty the same session parameters.
Specifically:
--- when I start a GNOME-fallback session using the Pyhoca-GUI for Linux, the remote desktop appears with a "constant geometry", where
resizing the local session window simply crops the view of the remote GNOME-fallback desktop.
I had this behaviour on my systems, as well. For a long time. I just
now tested PyHoca-GUI and the following I observe:
Pyhoca-GUI / Python X2Go version: 0.4.0.8 / 0.4.0.8
start session with 800x600 px
session window appears with 800x600, but then resizes to some large size
I can (with Debian wheezy as X2Go Server) play with the window
borders and the session inside
resizes correctly
if I hit fullscreen mode (CTRL+ALT+F) the session resizes correctly
to fullscreen mode
but if I return for fullscreen mode (hit CTRL+ALT+F once more), the
resizing capabilities are fully gone
-- on the other hand, using the C++ x2go client for Mac, I can
successfuly resize the local session window, and the remote GNOME-fallback desktop also
resizes automatically.
For me, the x2goclient behaviour (Linux, 4.0.1.2-preview from
nightly builds)
Q: Is the initial session size as you configured it in the X2Go
session profile?
Q: what happens when switching to and back from fullscreen mode?
-- strangely, I can get Pyhoca-GUI to *also* resize properly if I do
the following:1) Start a GNOME-fallback session with the C++ x2goclient forMac, then suspend the session.
2) Use Pyhoca-GUI for linux to resume the session in 1). Then,Pyhoca-GUI is able to handle session resizing properly, ie, resizing the local
session window will resize the remote GNOME desktop.
This I cannot confirm.
This last point suggests that the resizing issue is not a GNOME bug,
but an issue with the X2GO client.
Ok...
Can you launch x2goclient and pyhoca-gui in --debug mode and send
those debug logs to me privately?
Also, let me mention how this relates to the bug in http://bugs.x2go.org/42. Using the C++ x2goclient for Mac, I verified that this happens:
o with GNOME3 the window appears in the expected size and then gets resized from inside the starting up GNOME3 session
This is some GNOME internal stuff. I have not come to investigating
that any further...
but these don't:
o I can manually resize the window afterwards via the client-side window manager (play with your mouse on the window borders...)
I normally using a tiling desktop shell (i3), so normally I do not
have window decorations. I just tested inside a client-side MATE
session and indeed, using the window borders works fine for resizing.
o Still, the desktop shell inside does not adapt its size On the contrary, the C++ X2goclient is able to perform the
auto-resizing correctly.
As said above: my Pyhoca-gui version can handle that, as well.
Versions that I'm using:
-- C++ X2goclient for Mac, version 4.0.1.0 -- Pyhoca GUI for Linux, version 0.4.0.8
my client-side versions I have mentioned above
-- x2goagent: 3.5.0.20 -- x2goserver: 4.0.1.6 -- x2goserver-extensions: 4.0.1.6 -- x2goserver-pyhoca: 4.0.1.6
my X2Go Server / Agent package versions are identical. The server is a
vanilla Debian wheezy.
