Hi Mihai,
ppc64 support support Big and Little Endian, But... it is quite new and most of the OS distro are BigEndian (fedora, Radhat, Suse, ....) only Ubuntu propose both : ubuntu ppc64 (BE) and ubuntu ppc64el (LE).It will take time for the Enterprise Linux distro to move and fully support ppc64 in Little Endian.
So, I don't say that the problem is due to Endianness, but we have to keep in mind that fedora 20 ppc64 is BIG Endian.
# lscpu Architecture: ppc64 CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit Byte Order: Big Endian ...
For the connection, I use IPV4 addresse, no hostname. There is only one IP on the server.
If you need to have access to the server, this can be done with openVPN certificate. This is only a "sandbox server" to reproduce the x2go issue.
Cordialement / Best Regards

I'm far from being any type of coder. Looks like it could be an endian issue though.
No, that doesn't make sense to me.
ppc64 supports both little endian (which is compatible to x86 -- and as it works on x86, it's highly doubtful this is a little endian issue) and big endian (i.e., network byte order), the latter one being the default.
From what I gathered skimming the code, no conversion is taking place (understandble, as inet_ntoa does only create a string with the dotted quad IPv4 address from an address in _network byte order_.)
Generally, nobody needs the address in binary form in host byte order.
Sebastien, how are you connecting? Via an IPv4 address, or via a host name? Does the host name by any chance contain multiple addresses?
(Though I might like to add, that actually debugging this issue really requires being able to reproduce the issue, recompiling nx with debug info and attaching a debugger.)
Mihai
