Package: x2goserver Severity: high because makes x2go failed with opensuse
Detailed information using zypper info
Information for package x2goserver:
Repository: x2go Name: x2goserver Version: 4.0.1.19-1.1 Arch: x86_64 Vendor: obs://build.opensuse.org/X11 Installed: Yes Status: up-to-date Installed Size: 235.7 KiB
+] Recently had an update in OpenSuse in the NX components +] When starting from a remote client using X2go Client (Windows), an error occured (NX terminated at stage 7)
All was correctly working before NX upgrade, same machines, same OS version, same X2Go Client and Server version.
What I have found is an error in the session log: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ /usr/bin/x2goagent: ligne29: /usr/lib/nx/../x2go/bin/x2goagent: no such file...
+] My understanding of the problem:
I use OpenSuse x86_64 and NX libs are in /usr/lib64/nx not in /usr/lib/nx so the used path is incorrect.
The x2goagent script in (/usr/bin) contains:
NXAPP=x2goagent NX_LIBS=/usr/lib/nx NX_LOCAL_LIBS=/usr/local/lib/nx
test -x $NX_LOCAL_LIBS/../x2go/bin/$NXAPP && export NX_LIBS=$NX_LOCAL_LIBS test -x $NX_LIBS/../x2go/bin/$NXAPP && export NX_LIBS=$NX_LIBS
exec $NX_LIBS/../x2go/bin/$NXAPP "$@"
+] Correction: X2GO has files in /usr/lib64/x2go (only perl script) and files in /usr/lib/x2go NX has all files in /usr/lib64/nx
So trying to replace NX_LIBS definition by NX_LIBS=/usr/lib64/nx
is a first step but the path in x2goagent is still invalid since it now points into /usr/lib64 where no x2go executables reside...
So have to change the complete path...
+] Solution (partial)
# FF (2015) dir modified since in x86_64 lib64 is used instead ! NX_LIBS=/usr/lib64/nx
# FF (2015) problem since part of X2go is in /usr/lib and part in /usr/lib64 test -x /usr/lib/x2go/bin/$NXAPP && export NX_LIBS=$NX_LIBS
exec /usr/lib/x2go/bin/$NXAPP "$@"
+] Status
X2go now works but shared directory does not ! I do not know if it is related to specific problem on OpenSuse due to the recent update of NX. This is due to a problem in a perl file (message on the client !) which is missing, still trying to understand this other problem... With above correction x2go works again.
