Hi!
Sadly, the upgraded nxagent had the effect that neither freenx nor neatx-server was working anymore (ubuntu 10.04, neatx-server and x2go side by side using http://ppa.launchpad.net/freenx-team/ppa/ubuntu and http://ppa.launchpad.net/x2go/stable/ubuntu)
Looking at the debug-output of the server shows this:
DEBUG daemon:461 /usr/bin/nxagent[8867] stderr: Error: Aborting session with 'Unable to open display 'nx/nx,options=/var/lib/neatx/sessions/09BD2B7A618AF0AEAC0292E490A9D340/options:682''.
ERROR agent:376 Agent error: Aborting session with 'Unable to open display 'nx/nx,options=/var/lib/neatx/sessions/09BD2B7A618AF0AEAC0292E490A9D340/options:682''.
as i didn't had the time right away to track the problem down, i downgraded the nxagent to the version in the freenx-ppa of ubuntu. It seems there is some issue with xauth in the end. If you need furhter help with this, feel free to contact me.
Please provide more information on that. Esp. what exact package versions are installed on your system. Furthermore, please provide the deb-URLs where you got all the software components from. Thanks.
the deb-urls are # FreeNX deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/freenx-team/ppa/ubuntu lucid main # X2Go deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/x2go/stable/ubuntu lucid main
the versions now running are: x2goagent 3.5.0.5-0~72~lucid1 x2gognomebindings 2.0.1.3-0~47~lucid1 x2goserver 3.0.99.7 nx-common 0.3.1+svn59-0~ppa1~lucid1 nxagent 1:3.5.0-1-2-0ubuntu1ppa8 nxauth 2:3.5.0.2-0~135~lucid1 nxclient 3.4.0-7 nxlibs 1:3.5.0-1-2-0ubuntu1ppa8 nxproxy 2:3.5.0.2-0~135~lucid1 neatx-server 0.3.1+svn59-0~ppa1~lucid1 libnx-x11 2:3.5.0.2-0~135~lucid1 libxcomp3 2:3.5.0.2-0~135~lucid1 libxcompext3 2:3.5.0.2-0~135~lucid1 libxcomp3 2:3.5.0.2-0~135~lucid1 libssh-4 0.4.8-2
and pyhoca-gui and the corresponding python-libs, but i think this isn't relevant here.
i only tried connecting to the server via nxclient 3.4 or 3.5 from ubuntu-machines (if this is relevant, but i think not).
(slightly) off-topic: In the long run i would like to only use x2go, but there is an issue left which i name here:
When connecting from computers with german-keyboard-layout to a session where an english-keyboard layout was set, it happens that pressing 'ALTGR+Q' (which should write '@') will switch to a mode which always have ALTGR on. Only defocus+focus the window again 'fixes' the problem. No setting of the keyboard-layout via gnome-keyboar-switcher or setting via 'setxkbmap de' is helping. Perhaps you can gave me a hint what to do in such a case or to even track this bug down? Thanks!
This smells like you are using old X2Go agent code. This has been settled some months ago...
I pinned the x2goserver-package to 3.0.99.7 (and patched some things manually) because of some problems with the newer ones, so yes, i have old code.. but i did not recognised that this bug was fixed, sorry. For the "problems" i had with newer x2goserver-packages and my patches: when i have more time, i will look if there are gone and, if not provide, the necessary information and/or patches. The problem above with nxagent should not be affected by theses differences.
