Package: x2goserver-x2goagent Version: 4.1.0.2-0~1642~ubuntu1
Hi,
freerdp (freerdp and freerdp2) doesn't work with current default x2go:
$ xfreerdp /size:1700x1000 /u:USER /p:PASS /v:192.168.50.142 /cert-ignore
connected to 192.168.50.142:3389
X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or
internal Xlib length error)
Major opcode of failed request: 18 (X_ChangeProperty)
Serial number of failed request: 41
Current serial number in output stream: 45
The bug report for FreeRDP (https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/issues/4920) came to the conclusion that it requires the BIG-REQUESTS extension, which is disabled in x2go. Indeed removing these lines in /etc/x2go/x2goagent.options fixes the issue:
# Disable BIG-REQUESTS, nx-libs does not implement this extension correctly.
# Leads to all sorts of weird crashes if left enabled.
X2GO_NXAGENT_DEFAULT_OPTIONS+=" -extension BIG-REQUESTS"
I'm using this for a day now without "weird crashes", but still assume it's probably not the best idea.

I recommend to update to the current nightly build of the nxagent package. I have added a patch that greatly improves the BIG-REQUESTs code. Apps like Visual Studio Code and Atom are now working. You can find information about the nightlies at https://sunweavers.net/blog/node/20

Have you added yet another patch since last weekend, or is that the one that was added to X2Go's nightly repositories last weekend?
Because if the latter, there's no need to switch to the arctica repo, using X2Go's heuler repo will be sufficient.

I don't know about the X2Go repos. I know that it is in Arctica Nightly and that it got merged on 2018-10-22.

Mihai updated the nx-libs in X2Go heuler to what's in the Arctica repo last weekend - Friday or Saturday night, I believe.

Thanks, for now I switched a testing server to the nightlies from http://ppa.launchpad.net/x2go/ppa/ubuntu. I still had to comment out the disabling of the BIG-REQUESTS extension. Further for Mint Tara/Ubuntu bionic this requires to "downgrade" the x2go packages, see #1344.
Besides that, everything is fine now.
