Andrew,

Does this happen using the x2go package versions in the stable PPA (* ppa:x2go/stable*)? I experienced the crashing issue with the nightly/testing PPA (*ppa:x2go/ppa*) on Ubuntu 11.04, but on advice from these mailing lists I reverted to the stable PPA versions and the problem went away.

I haven't yet tested with the new stable versions that were just released today; I'm hoping that the crash bug isn't now in those. Ah ok i didn't actually know about that repo. My google foo returned the x2go ppa and i didn't think to look further, i had just assumed it was stable. My mistake. I shall try with that PPA and get back to you.

Hello, We have recently started using x2go internally and although it's wonderful, we have encountered the same issue that was discussed previously.

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.terminal-server.x2go.devel/2461

After googling a bit it seems like this is still unsolved. I have a 100% reliable way to reproduce the issue and a publicly accessible server which can be used for testing, if any one in the team is interested in debugging. I'm happy to provide access, provide a copy of the VM, install packages / do whatever. If server access is required please email me off list and i'll provide username/ssh key.

I couldn't see a bug tracker on the website so I will list the steps to reproduce below:

Steps to reproduce:

1. Log In:
2. Open 'record it now' (Press Alt + 2 type 'record it now' and enter
4. Select full screen record
5. Uncheck the sound recording option
6. Start recording
7. once it counts down and starts recording hit the stop button

The session 'crash' is then triggered.

This is on a fully up to date ( including backports ) version of Ubuntu 10.04 using KDE and the X2go PPA.

Debugging is turned on and there is nothing printed in syslog other than it appears the server restarts.

Kind regards Andrew

Unless i've made a mistake removing and reinstalling the stable
packages I can still reliably crash the session.

Just for sanity this is what ended up in my apt conf.d dir

root@rosetta:/var# cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/x2go-stable-lucid.list deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/x2go/stable/ubuntu lucid main

And this is the version of software currently installed.

root@rosetta:/var# dpkg -l | grep x2go ii x2goagent 3.4.0.5-0~40~lucid1 Special NX-ized client, was developed by NoM

The problem is known, it is buried in the way we currently build
(compile) x2goagent and the libxcomp* (nx-libs) packages.

The NoMachine nx-X11 & co packages heavily depend on one another and
thus a circular dependency ring has been created by NoMachine that's
not trivial to break up into a Debian/Ubuntu conform package build
mechanism. Reinhard Tartler is currently working on that with very
high priority.

Please stay tuned, we are working on that.

BTW: yesterday's releases package do not fix the above issue, but
bring more integrity into the other components of X2go.

Greets, Mike

PS: If you use the plasma-widget-x2go tool for KDE4... This will
probably be released with a follow-up version in 14 days and has been
fixed and prepared yesterday to work with the latest x2goserver code.
The packages are already available in the nightly-builds.
