Hi there,
testing the heuler x2go packages...
Client system: Debian squeeze Server system: Ubuntu Lucid
- When sharing a local folder it gets mounted properly on the client,
but the symlinks in ~/media look weird:
mike@vidar:~/media$ tree -L 2
.
|
|- cd | |- disk
| |
| - _home_m.gabriel_test | - rm
Is this intended?
- When suspending an x2go session the local shared directory gets
unmounted properly on the server, but the desktop link (GNOME) remains
on the desktop. After having resumed a session the desktop link is
still there but it is invalid. I have to remove it manually, to get
rid of it.
Greets, Mike

remains on the desktop. After having resumed a session the desktop
link is still there but it is invalid. I have to remove it manually,
to get rid of it.
neither is it possible to reconnect the same local folder via sshfs.
However, it is possible to share another local folder via the x2go
client.
Reproduce:
o login to x2go server that runs GNOME (this might not be GNOME specific) o share a local folder manually via x2goclient (e.g. ~/test) o local folder appears in x2go session (desktop icon) o disconnect from the session (suspend) o close x2goclient o start x2goclient again o resume former session o -> desktop icon still there, but invalid!!! o share formerly shared folder again (~/test) o check success with the mount command .... (mountpoint does not appear...) o -> sharing the same local folder again seems to fail!!! o share another local folder (e.g. ~/test2) o sharing another local folder works for me...
Can anyone confirm on this?
For the wishlist: the server commands that run in the background
should produce at least some debug information in /var/log/syslog...
(this is also for terminal server security: the admin of a system
should have the possibility to see which user mounts local shares to
the server!!!)

Mike, I tried duplicating your issue but did not see this problem. I'm using Lucid on both sides and with a GNOME desktop I could suspend the session and then reconnect to it later. The shared folder was no longer mounted on the desktop and I had to remount it and it mounted successfully. I did not see any type of link problems while doing this. This was using server 3.01-9 and client 3.01-11.

My only other thought about your links problem is that somehow they had become owned by the wrong user.

Mike, I might have found a way to reproduce what you saw.
If you Reconnect to a Terminated session that had a mounted share it will start a new session but there is a ghost mount in the new session from the previous terminated session. This didn't happen on a suspended session only after I terminated a session then clicked on Reconnect.
Gerry
Hi there,
I will split the thread up into to parts...

I looked into the x2gomountdirs script and this is intended...
cd -> client-side CD-ROM disk -> client-side Hard-Disk rm -> client-side Removable Media
For people that work with a unix shell the short terms ,,cd'' and
,,rm'' are really confusing (cd=Change Directory, rm=Remove File). I
wish, x2go would be more verbose here:
mike@vidar:~/media$ tree -L 2
.
|
|- CD+DVD-Rom | |- Locally-Shared-Folder
| |
| - _home_m.gabriel_test | - Removable-Media
It might also be nice to have a config file for x2gomountdirs so that
the user can customize these names...

I don't have time to test this further until tonight. But I can
reproduce this problem with suspended sessions... I will test
different servers/clients tonight...

Hi there,
Hello,
- When suspending an x2go session the local shared directory gets
unmounted properly on the server, but the desktop link (GNOME) remains
on the desktop. After having resumed a session the desktop link is
still there but it is invalid. I have to remove it manually, to get
rid of it. Similar here: Archlinux: x2goserver-one 3.0.1_5-2, GNOME 2.30.2 Ubuntu Lucid: x2goclient-gtk 3.01-8
The shared dir from client is mounted properly to /tmp/, a symlink created in $HOME/media linking to /tmp/mu_media.
Additionally, there is a file: $ cat $HOME/Desktop/_home_mu\(sshfs-disk\) /tmp/mu_media/_home_mu mu-50-1279683154_stDGNOME_dp32
but this second file is unrecognised by GNOME - no applications assigned. Do I need to install the GNOME addons for x2go (these seems to be missing in Arch AUR repository).
Anyway, after logout from the session, the two above files remain in the user's directory and must be deleted manually.
Regards, Milan

I believe this is handled by the /usr/bin/x2goumount_session perl script. You might add some debugging to see where it is breaking. I believe the general process is something like:
x2goumount_session first gets the display for the session in the format |50| and then a list of mounts for the session in the format:
127.0.0.1 | /tmp/spool_simple1/simple1-50-1267649844_stDKDE_dp24
It next dumps a copy of /etc/mtab into an array.
It then loops through the list of mounts.
Within that loop, it loops through the contents of /etc/mtab to see if there is an sshfs mount which matches the mount listed in the database.
If it finds a match, it stores the remote device (e.g., jsullivan@127.0.0.1:/home/jsullivan/) for the sshfs in a variable named remote and then breaks out of the inner loop. It then attempts to umount the mount point retrieved from the database. If it fails, it generates an error message to the user and continues with the next item in the outer loop.
Whether or not it found anything in mtab, as long as it did not error when trying to unmount, it tries to clean up any artifacts from the session. It deletes the device icons from the user's Desktop directory. These devices have the format of a modification of the remote variable stored above ("/" replaced with "_") followed by any of (sshfs-disk), (sshfs-removable), or (sshfs-cdrom). It then calls sudo x2gopgwrapper deletemount passing it the session name and the mount point which deletes the entry from the mounts database table.
John,
thanks for quite a long description, I will try to look into it.
regards,
Milan
