[...] a complete Qt build takes more than 10 hours on my machine and I'm running into problems every now and then, so I'm kinda stuck to a busy waiting for it to complete.

Is there any chance that my Mac Mini, Model MB138D/A, would help you in shortening compile time (either because it's faster than your current machine or because you could offload parts of the job to it)?

Probably not, the hardware specifications don't look too good. :( My machine has a 3GHz C2D with 8GB RAM, compared to this the 1GB RAM of your Mac Mini sounds like constant swapping.

Then again, I'm currently using 8GB RAM + 7.9GB swap on my MBP, so who knows. We could run a qt build on your Mac Mini, if you give me SSH access and see how it turns out.

The machine is still in the mail (on its way back from Mike to me). However, you could send me your SSH public key in advance so all we have to do is check the fingerprint and hook it up.

Hi Mike,

Alright, here you go: http://www.ionic.de/x2goclient-3.99.1.0-release.dmg

I have removed most static linking (only libssh linked statically, though I could change that too.)

Qt 4.7.4 is now shipped as a dynamic library framework.

Yes, 4.7.4, because I tried my best to build and use Qt 4.8.0, but ran into a very weird bug.

After connecting to the server and hovering over the session list, x2goclient would crash. However, the crash does not happen in x2goclient but actually in Qt... more specifically, in this part of code: (src/gui/image/qpixmap_mac.cpp)

1. CGImageRef qt_mac_create_imagemask(const QPixmap &pixmap, const QRectF &sr)
2. {

3. QMacPixmapData *px =

   static_cast<QMacPixmapData*>(pixmap.data.data());

4. if (px->cg_mask) {

5.     if (px->cg_mask_rect == sr) {

6.         CGImageRetain(px->cg_mask); //reference for the caller

7.         return px->cg_mask;

8.     }

9.     CGImageRelease(px->cg_mask);

10.     px->cg_mask = 0;

11. }

12. [...]

Why? Because px->cg_mask is null in line 9. "But, line 4 already checks, if px->cg_mask is not null", you may say. And so did I. But it seems like there is some weird race condition due to multithreading. I couldn't really figure the root cause out... tried to debug, but the backtrace consists of 75 functions, mostly Qt and CoreFoundation/Cocoa ones... no joy to look into this. I have diffed the file in question, only to find no code changes in the affected function. Some people suggested looking for QPixmaps in the code, as they must only be used in the main thread. I checked if the thread-IDs of the corresponding functions match the main thread and everything looked fine, so it's not "this" problem either.

Did anyone else test x2goclient with Qt 4.8.0 yet on Linux/Windows?

Anyway, as 4.7.4 is working fine, I'll stick to that for now and check every now and then for patches or the like.

Ricardo, can you please check this version for me?

Best regards,

Mihai

Hello all,

I made some changes in x2goclient and x2gothinclient to make X2Go Client work better in TCE.

http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goclient.git;a=commit;h=236d841becb21398f613... http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2gothinclient.git;a=commit;h=7d5e1990195c50c3...

changelogs

x2goclient: - improved support for use in TCE command line argument --thinclient - running without window manager command line argument --haltbt - button to shutdown the thin client

x2gothinclient:

• x2gothinshutdown is removed.
• Options --thinclient and --haltbt added to x2gothinclient_sessions.
• x2gothinclientd is modified to use x2goclient shutdown button instead of x2gothinshutdown.
• gnupg-agent, pinentry-x2go and gpgsm added to "Recommends" section for package x2gothinclient.

Great, currently uploading to code.x2go.org: http://code.x2go.org/releases/source/binary-macosx/x2goclient/

[...]

The details should be discussed with Alex (Oleksandr).

Yes, it runs fine on Debian sid (last test is a couple of weeks ago, though.

Anyway, as 4.7.4 is working fine, I'll stick to that for now and check every now and then for patches or the like.

Great. Can we count on you for further building? That would be
fabulous. If so, I will discuss with Alex and Heinz, that you get some
sort of upload permissions on code.x2go.org.

Ricardo, can you please check this version for me?

Yeah, everybody... Test-test-test...

Best regards,

Thanks so much, Mike
