Hello everyone,
I'm fairly new to x2go, but I'm trying to package X2Go Client & Server for RedHat6 and I have the following suggestion/problem:
Server: it's hard to package the X2GO Server as RPM because some paths (/etc/x2go) are hardcoded into the Makefiles and a "make PREFIX=/path install" still installs the files under /etc/x2go. Could anyone please change the Makefile so that the PREFIX option works?
Client: in order to compile the client I downloaded the libssh-0.5.0-1 and libssh-devel-0.5.0-1 as RPMs and installed them (it's the same library as Debian's libssh-4, just a newer Version -- the one from Debian Squeeze is the version 0.4.5-3). The client basically works, but segfaults sometimes (not always) in "exception" cases, for example false authentication to the X2GO server.
Here's a snippet from a X2GO Session, first it works all right, then I disconnect and start again with a false password:
search proxy win: "X2GO-btaru-55-1326987931_stDGNOME_dp24" search proxy win: "X2GO-btaru-55-1326987931_stDGNOME_dp24" "Info: Using shared memory parameters 1/2048K. "

Heinz suggested that I use the x2golistsessions, x2goruncommand, x2goagent over SSH (btw, the X2GO Server runs on Ubuntu, and the other clients work OK) and log their return codes -- but how can I do that? Just SSH in to the Ubuntu server and call these 3 tools from the command line, with echo $? after?
Thanks for your support, Bogdan
Hi Bogdan-Andrei,
thanks a lot for your e-Mail.

You can definitely accelerate the process if you send a tested patch.
Please send patches that apply for your code base in X2Go Git. To
clone a project use
git clone git://code.x2go.org/x2goserver.git git clone git://code.x2go.org/x2goclient.git etc.
Modify the code and send the output of ,,git diff'' to this mailing list.
I will take a look at the Makefiles, but if you find time to send a
patch, that will probably much quicker!!!
Client: in order to compile the client I downloaded the
libssh-0.5.0-1 and libssh-devel-0.5.0-1 as RPMs and installed them
(it's the same library as Debian's libssh-4, just a newer Version --

from the command line, with echo $? after?
The segfaulting seems like Alex should take a look at that. Could you
send exact versions (of every X2Go component) that you use for testing
and packaging?
The manual testing with x2gostartagent, x2goruncommand etc. is
possible but I cannot explain that without digging into the client code.
@Heinz+Alex: if you can provide a manual session startup workflow,
could you please document that in the wiki???
Thanks+Greets, Mike

Hi Mike,
thanks for the fast answer! I can package the X2GO Server all rite, but I run into the following error after installing it (I'm trying to test it). I'm a newbie to X2Go, so sorry for asking obvious questions.
I've installed X2GO, Postgres, I created the DB and User with x2godbadmin --createdb and --adduser, and I'm trying to connect with this user, but this results in the following error:

Hi Bogdan,

2 questions...
Q1:
Have you already packaged NX (redistributed)? This is needed for the
X2Go server side. For using X2Go you have to use NX as provided by
X2Go. Our NX (redistributed) should work fine with FreeNX and alike.
http://code.x2go.org/releases/source/nx-libs/nx-libs_3.5.0.8-full.tar.gz
The Makefiles are far from optimal, so we have to cooperated on
fine-tuning them. John Williams has also contributed to that, but I
have not had time and priority to improve them.
Q2:
Why do you configure Postgres? For packaging please provide an SQLite
solution. X2Go can be used without Postgres and without Postgres it is
possible to install X2Go server and let it run out of the box. Please
pre-configure X2Go server with SQLite. Please refer to the postinst
script in the /debian folder:
http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goserver.git;a=blob;f=debian/x2goserver.post...
thanks, Mike

No, this realy depends on the installation. But the more important thing is that SQLite can work out of the box, while Postgres always needs some manual work and switching from SQLite to Postgres is one of the minor issues in this process.

I think fixing the imake/xmake files will take a long time. In the meantime, maybe you could include this folder along with the nx-libs redistributed tarball, maybe put it in a folder called "alternate build files". This is a small update to the files I sent you before. I have been testing it for more than a week now, and it works well on my system.

Looks like a bug in x2goclient. I'll try to find and fix it

I just realized that you were talking about the x2goserver tarball, not the nx-libs redistributed tarball. Sorry about that.
Anyway, Mike already fixed the missing DESTDIR lines in the x2goserver tarball in git. He just needs to release a tarball based on the current git code.
By the way, how are you packaging all the other required files that are needed with x2goserver? The ones that are in nx-libs redistributed?
