In preparation for the upcoming release of X2Go Client 4.0.1.2, a new nightly build of the Windows binary is available for download under:
http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/x2goclient/previews/4.0.1.2/
Right now the current plan for 4.0.1.2's release is "We've stopped making changes. If no showstopper bugs or regressions are reported, we'll release 4.0.1.2 on Friday." So while we want all bugs reported on http://bugs.x2go.org/ , it is especially important that users report any regressions since the last stable version of X2Go Client for windows, 4.0.0.3, before Friday 2013-12-13.
I just tried out x2goclient-4.0.1.2-pre02 and I'm a little disappointed.
There's no improvement on the sound issue (Flash videos sound
"choppy"), yet there's no additional download option where one could
download a copy of x2goclient-4.0.1.2-pre02-setup that is set to use
the old pulseaudio. :-( Showstopper for me, can't roll that out to
my customers.Even with the newer Xserver that is included in
x2goclient-4.0.1.2-pre02-setup, Chromium and Chrome still crash at
random intervals. To be exact, they're not crashing themselves,
they're crashing the X server. Pausing and resuming a session lets
you continue where you stopped, yet, this is an instability that
users won't put up with since they quit Windows 98/Millennium for
good. It's only when X2Go is involved that these crashes occur - if
you export the display with ssh (from PuTTY) instead of using
x2goclient.exe, Chromium and Chrome behave well. Not a showstopper
(customers are using Iceweasel so far), but something where I had
hoped to see some improvement with the new Xserver. :-(The two items above are connected in a way: Flash sound isn't
"choppy" in Chromium/Chrome, so if we'd get Chromium/Chrome to work,
I could try to migrate my users away from Iceweasel to avoid the
sound issue. On the other hand, if you are able to fix the sound
issue, I don't see a need to migrate to Chromium/Chrome.New Eye Candy #1: The taskbar icon suddenly changes into the seal
icon once the connection is established. Please add a
checkbox/config file entry to disable this. I'm sure it will confuse
users who have previously used published application mode and look
for the "Accelerated X" icon that has just vanished. I'm kind of
disappointed that we're adding silly eye candy when there still are
serious bugs to fix.New Eye Candy #2: Upon connection, an info bubble pops up,
containing a *totally cryptic session name* and disappearing after
five seconds or so. No non-technical user can make use of that
message, seriously. And even technical users will have a hard time
memorizing a cryptic session name within 5 seconds. Please, also add
an option to disable this popup, and seriously consider changing the
displayed info to something more userfriendly like "Connection to
host <host>, session <sessionname> established as user <user>." It's
okay to add the cryptic string somewhere where techies can find it
if they need it, maybe in an About-Box or so, but please - think of
the chil^W ordinary non-technical end user. And again, I'm kind of disappointed that we're adding silly eye
candy when there still are serious bugs to fix.@Mike&Mike (or is that Mike²?): I'm guessing this should go into the bugtracker, somehow. Please
advise on how it should be tagged and I'll turn items 1, 2, 4, and 5
into four new bugtracker entries.-Stefan
Thanks for testing all that.
Please send individual mails to submit@bugs.x2go.org
User a proper subject line.
Put
""" Package: x2goclient Severity: wishlist Version: 4.0.1.2
"""
into that first lines of each mail and add the text passage of the
corresponding item below.
