Hi,
freerdp (freerdp and freerdp2) doesn't work with current default x2go:
$ xfreerdp /size:1700x1000 /u:USER /p:PASS /v:192.168.50.142 /cert-ignore connected to 192.168.50.142:3389 X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error) Major opcode of failed request: 18 (X_ChangeProperty) Serial number of failed request: 41 Current serial number in output stream: 45The bug report for FreeRDP (https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/issues/4920) came to the conclusion that it requires the BIG-REQUESTS extension, which is disabled in x2go. Indeed removing these lines in /etc/x2go/x2goagent.options fixes the issue:
# Disable BIG-REQUESTS, nx-libs does not implement this extension correctly. # Leads to all sorts of weird crashes if left enabled. X2GO_NXAGENT_DEFAULT_OPTIONS+=" -extension BIG-REQUESTS"I'm using this for a day now without "weird crashes", but still assume it's probably not the best idea.
I recommend to update to the current nightly build of the nxagent package. I have added a patch that greatly improves the BIG-REQUESTs code. Apps like Visual Studio Code and Atom are now working. You can find information about the nightlies at https://sunweavers.net/blog/node/20
