Hi all,
thanks to everyone (esp. to John) for taking such a meticulous look at the latest x2goclient 3.99.0.0 (Win32 version). There obviously seem to be quite some open issues that we have to cross-check on our own development/testing systems.
Alex (the core developer of x2goclient) will do that ASAP, we hope to come up with some feedback, patches, comments by the end of next week. If that gets delayed, I will let you know about the delay and come up with another timeline.
Unfortunately, as X2go is not a commercial project, this cannot be any quicker. We apologize for this!!!
If there are people out there you can read/write C code, please feel free to clone git://code.x2go.org/x2goclient.git and cross-read the code.
Some other problems, however, may arise from x2goagent, as well. So you might use git://code.x2go.org/x2goagent.git for lecture as well...
Greets, Mike
Hello all,
last days I spent some time to test the latest version of x2goclient (3.99.0) on different platforms:
Server
debian lenny i386, x2goserver-3.0.99-5, nxlibs-3.4.x, x2goagent-3.4.x debian squeeze i386, x2goserver-3.0.99-5, nxlibs-3.4.x, x2goagent-3.4.x debian squeeze i386, x2goserver-3.99.0.0, nxlibs-3.5.x, x2goagent-3.4.x debian squeeze i386, x2goserver-3.99.0.0, nxlibs-3.5.x, x2goagent-3.5.x debian squeeze amd64, x2goserver-3.0.99-5, nxlibs-3.4.x, x2goagent-3.4.x debian squeeze amd64, x2goserver-3.99.0.0, nxlibs-3.5.x, x2goagent-3.4.x debian squeeze amd64, x2goserver-3.99.0.0, nxlibs-3.5.x, x2goagent-3.5.x
Client
debian lenny i386 debian squeeze i386 debian squeeze amd64 windows7-32 windows7-64
I've tested connections in LAN and over Internet and was able to connect and work without any serious issues.
During tests I've found some bugs:
x2goclient crashing some times if user login unsuccessful (f.e. wrong password)
x2goclient crashing by unexpected output in user console (f.e. there is a line in ~/.basrc "cowsay hello" or user shell set to /bin/false )
under Windows system tray icon does not disappear on client close.
I'll fix this bugs ASAP.
Unfortunately, I can not reproduce some bugs reported of users on this mailing list - Issues with image packaging, Issues with scrolling in firefox Issues with delays after pressing Up/Down arrow keys. Issues with failed connection on Win7-64
I can imagine, that some of this bugs are system dependent. X2Go uses many components - x2go server, client, nxlibs, nx(x2go)agent. Under windows x2goclient starts although X-server, SSH server and Pulseaudio server. All this components are depended from many system libraries, for example libpng, libjpeg, etc.
Unfortunately, we can not to test X2Go with all possible combinations of software installed on user computer. We running our tests on fresh installed OS with default set of software. And default options of x2goclient (on Windows with default X-server and default command line options)
If you expecting troubles running X2Go, please try, if it possible, to install a "clean" OS, without any additional software (f.e. third-part firewalls or antivirals on Windows) If X2Go running on such "clean" system, you can compare it with you productive system and find out which software blocking functionality of X2Go. As example, one of our customers found out, that x2go client on Win7 can not connect to server if Avast antivirus is installed.
Hi, Alex. Although the packing and multi-session problems have mysteriously vaporized as I reported elsewhere, I can confirm that we still have the following:
Full screen toggles do not work in Windows - no magic pixel, AltCtl-M, AltCtl-F.
AltTab does not work as expected in Full Screen mode - in fact, rather than scroll through the X2Go desktop applications, it is currently the only way to break out of full screen!
I get a knotify: no process found error when exiting the Windows session.
Evolution selection (as a representative graphics issue) is still painfully slow
Thanks - John
