The below bugs are most probably related to each other, that's why I open one case for all of them.
The issues are the following : I want to use the French software Laurux, which is based on Gambas interpreter, via a x2go session running on a Debian 9 server running LXDE (same issues seen on an Ubuntu server, x2goserver version = 4.0.1.20-0~1125~ubuntu14.04.1)..
As a prerequisite, the software is installed on the server and runs well on a local session.
- Whatever the client (Windows or Linux 4.0.3.1-4), the local environment variables are not set properly and the software - which needs French localization - crashes. That could be "solved" the following way : /etc/x2go/Xsession :
... LANG=fr LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8 export LANG export LC_ALL ...
That seems to be a revival of older bugs, but it is definitely still here.
At the start of a new session, one gets a windows with an error message "No session for pid ..." ; that bug has already been reported several times in x2go bug tracking and marked as solved. Actually it is not on my brand new system.
The single application mode does not work with some of the applications, including that Laurux / Gambas. For example it works with /usr/bin/leafpad, but /usr/bin/libreoffice makes the x2go session crash.
The mouse double clic does not work in a x2go session, but only
- within the Gambas software (works well for example when launching an application) and only
- when the x2go client is running in a Windows environment (no problem when client in a Linux environment)
Many thanks in advance for any support, Bruno
Hallo Bruno,
AFAIK the current version of x2go is 4.1.something. Please try that one.
Besides, your list contains an unusual number of problems at once. Are you sure your system is setup properly?

Yes I am sure my system is set up properly. By the way, keeping x2go apart, everything is running well, including the software I would like to use via x2go.
Now I updated with the x2go heuler section as you suggested : 4.1.0.0-0x2go1.2~git20170806.1410+9.heuler.1
The bugs 1,2,3 are all still there (I can not test the bug 4 as I have no Windows environment next to me at the moment).

There are applications that fork themselves and return immediately, which in turn causes the session to close down because there's no client left. Please check if running xterm in single application mode and starting those applications from there is working.

No, that's for sure a bug. No application may crash because of missign env variables. Never!
The issue is coma : "." in English and "," in French. So the MySQL requests fail and crash the software. But that is not the issue we should focus on in this mailing list.

Yes, this is related to LXDE. But once more, only in combination with x2go : on the local station I do not have this error when I start a LXDE session. Because LXDE is so light, it is very well adapted for remote desktop ; so it is definitely a first choice for a combination with x2go.

Ok bug no 2 (no session for pid) is identified : https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=864402
Concerning bug 3. and single app mode : when launching xterm and doing "echo $LANG" there is nothing. So the variable is not set, even with my workaround for bug no 1. What is the difference between the full LXDE session et single app mode : is there an explanation somewhere ?

That means, libreoffice crashes without LANG being set? I have tried unsetting LANG (and LANGUAGE). libreoffice is still working, though complaining: $ locale LANG= LANGUAGE= LC_CTYPE="POSIX" LC_NUMERIC="POSIX" LC_TIME="POSIX" LC_COLLATE="POSIX" LC_MONETARY="POSIX" LC_MESSAGES="POSIX" LC_PAPER="POSIX" LC_NAME="POSIX" LC_ADDRESS="POSIX" LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX" LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX" LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX" LC_ALL= $ libreoffice I18N: Operating system doesn't support locale "en_US"

Control: reassign -1 x2goserver 4.0.1.20
First of all, x2goserver 4.0.1.20 actually is the correct stable release. 4.1.0.0 are the current nightly releases.
I personally don't care much about what version is tested, but knowing whether there's a difference in behavior between the stable and nightly versions is certainly helpful.

How exactly did you set the locale?
The "Debian way" would be to run dpkg-reconfigure locales as root and select the desired locale(s) to generate and then select the default one.
/etc/environment should not contain any locale settings.
LANGUAGES and especially LC_ALL should normally not be set. LANGUAGES is a GNU-only list of fallback locales. LANG is the preferred way to set the locale, since it's being used if all of the LC_* env variables are empty. "dpkg-reconfigure locales" will do the right thing™.
- At the start of a new session, one gets a windows with an error message "No session for pid ..." ; that bug has already been reported several times in x2go bug tracking and marked as solved. Actually it is not on my brand new system.

- The single application mode does not work with some of the applications, including that Laurux / Gambas. For example it works with /usr/bin/leafpad, but /usr/bin/libreoffice makes the x2go session crash.
That's certainly possible. The most likely cause, as Uli explained, is that the command daemonizes itself right after launching it. This leads to the X2Go scripts assuming that the program exited and subsequently also terminating the session. We've seen such behavior every now and then and worked around it.
However, it looks like x2goagent is crashing when you start libreoffice in your case. That shouldn't happen. My gut feeling is that this might be another GTK3 incompatibility.
I could try to reproduce this in a clean stretch VM.
- The mouse double clic does not work in a x2go session, but only - within the Gambas software (works well for example when launching an application) and only - when the x2go client is running in a Windows environment (no problem when client in a Linux environment)
That sounds like Gambas is doing something funny, though. As far as I was able to gather, Gambas seems to be using Qt5 as its drawing toolkit.
The package qtbase5-examples should contain a binary at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/examples/widgets/widgets/mousebuttons/mousebuttons which spits out received mouse events.
Can you try that - especially with double clicking - and see what it outputs?

$ /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/examples/widgets/widgets/mousebuttons/mousebuttons failed to get the current screen resources QXcbConnection: XCB error: 172 (Unknown), sequence: 169, resource id: 175, major code: 149 (Unknown), minor code: 20 "Mouse Press: raw button=1 Qt=LeftButton\n heldbuttons LeftButton " "Mouse Release: raw button=1 Qt=LeftButton\n heldbuttons NoButton" "Mouse DoubleClick: raw button=1 Qt=LeftButton\n heldbuttonsLeftButton " "Mouse Release: raw button=1 Qt=LeftButton\n heldbuttons NoButton"
Reminder : the double click works when for example I launch an application from the desktop shortcut. It is only in this gambas software that it does not work, and only when using x2go Windows client (works perfectly well with x2go linux client).

People in Laurux's forum have reported this software works in single app mode but on an Ubuntu server.
So it looks like this crash issue is related to the non-proper setting of the locale on Debian server...

Control: reassign -1 x2goserver 4.0.1.20
First of all, x2goserver 4.0.1.20 actually is the correct stable release. 4.1.0.0 are the current nightly releases.
I personally don't care much about what version is tested, but knowing whether there's a difference in behavior between the stable and nightly versions is certainly helpful.
Same issues with both versions.

The below bugs are most probably related to each other, that's why I open one case for all of them.
The issues are the following : I want to use the French software Laurux, which is based on Gambas interpreter, via a x2go session running on a Debian 9 server running LXDE (same issues seen on an Ubuntu server, x2goserver version = 4.0.1.20-0~1125~ubuntu14.04.1)..
As a prerequisite, the software is installed on the server and runs well on a local session.
- Whatever the client (Windows or Linux 4.0.3.1-4), the local environment variables are not set properly and the software - which needs French localization - crashes. That could be "solved" the following way : /etc/x2go/Xsession :
... LANG=fr LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8 export LANG export LC_ALL ...
That seems to be a revival of older bugs, but it is definitely still here.
How exactly did you set the locale?
The "Debian way" would be to run dpkg-reconfigure locales as root and select the desired locale(s) to generate and then select the default one.
That is exactly the way I set the locales.
/etc/environment should not contain any locale settings.
/etc/environmnent is empty
LANGUAGES and especially LC_ALL should normally not be set. LANGUAGES is a GNU-only list of fallback locales. LANG is the preferred way to set the locale, since it's being used if all of the LC_* env variables are empty. "dpkg-reconfigure locales" will do the right thing™.
I confirm $LANGUAGES and $LC_ALL are not set on a local session.
- At the start of a new session, one gets a windows with an error message "No session for pid ..." ; that bug has already been reported several times in x2go bug tracking and marked as solved. Actually it is not on my brand new system.
What session are you starting exactly? I cannot find the string "No session for pid" in x2goserver's source code. Not sure what to do with this.
I found out it is a reported bug related to LXDE : cf https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=864402
- The single application mode does not work with some of the applications, including that Laurux / Gambas. For example it works with /usr/bin/leafpad, but /usr/bin/libreoffice makes the x2go session crash.
That's certainly possible. The most likely cause, as Uli explained, is that the command daemonizes itself right after launching it. This leads to the X2Go scripts assuming that the program exited and subsequently also terminating the session. We've seen such behavior every now and then and worked around it.
However, it looks like x2goagent is crashing when you start libreoffice in your case. That shouldn't happen. My gut feeling is that this might be another GTK3 incompatibility.
I could try to reproduce this in a clean stretch VM.
Perfectly reproducible in my case on 2 installations.
- The mouse double clic does not work in a x2go session, but only - within the Gambas software (works well for example when launching an application) and only - when the x2go client is running in a Windows environment (no problem when client in a Linux environment)
That sounds like Gambas is doing something funny, though. As far as I was able to gather, Gambas seems to be using Qt5 as its drawing toolkit.
The package qtbase5-examples should contain a binary at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/examples/widgets/widgets/mouse buttons/mousebuttons which spits out received mouse events.
Can you try that - especially with double clicking - and see what it outputs?
$ /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/examples/widgets/widgets/ mousebuttons/mousebuttons failed to get the current screen resources QXcbConnection: XCB error: 172 (Unknown), sequence: 169, resource id: 175, major code: 149 (Unknown), minor code: 20 "Mouse Press: raw button=1 Qt=LeftButton\n heldbuttons LeftButton " "Mouse Release: raw button=1 Qt=LeftButton\n heldbuttons NoButton" "Mouse DoubleClick: raw button=1 Qt=LeftButton\n heldbuttonsLeftButton " "Mouse Release: raw button=1 Qt=LeftButton\n heldbuttons NoButton"

Okay, I have just tried to reproduce your issues in a new, fresh Debian Stretch VM. Only installed the core system, x2goserver, x2goserver-xsession, lxde and gambas3.
Then (since I installed the system using the en_US.utf8 locale), ran dpkg-reconfigure locales, selected fr_FR.* to be generated and set the default locale to fr_FR.utf8.
Started up a new X2Go session (desktop session, LXDE) and was greeted by a French-speaking LXDE instance (with some English text from the clipboard manager, that does not seem to have a French localization. No problem.)
Afterwards, started gambas3 in the LXDE desktop session. Worked fine. And showed up in French.
Next up: started gambas3 in single application mode. Came up fine and in French.
And just for fun, I then went on, downloaded Laurux3.tar.gz from the website (since this software doesn't seem to be packaged within Debian directly...), installed gambas3-gb-qt4 and gambas3-gb-qt4-ext (since it looked like these modules were missing) and started Laurux3.gambas in the LXDE instance. It greeted me in French with a dialog to setup MySQL. I skipped this and Gambas3-Laurux started up. Again, everything was in French.
Last thing: started /home/ionic/applications/Laurux3/Laurux3.gambas (obviously the path I extracted it to) in a single application session. Again, I was greeted by the dialog to create a MySQL database. Skipped this, and Laurux-Gambas came up. All in French. It looked weird, but that's because in single application mode, we don't yet have an XSETTINGS daemon running that would enable Qt4 to look up its theme settings, so a ugly fallback theme is being used by default.
So far, I'm unable to reproduce any issue (and curiously, the Laurux version from their homepage seems to be using Qt4 instead of Qt5 as well, so I wonder how you came up with Qt4 before.)
I wasn't able to test the double-clicking issue, since all tests were carried out using X2Go Client on Linux.
I'd like to understand why your env variables are not being set correctly, but it doesn't seem to be systematic X2Go bug. With a cleanly installed system, this does not seem to happen.

Dear Mihai,
What good piece of news to start the day with !!!
So you do not see that "bug" on a fresh install. Unfortunately I see it, and also on a fresh install. It is even worse : I see it on 3 fresh server installs :
- Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS (old installation)
- Debian GNU/Linux 8
- Debian GNU/Linux 9
So it seems that I do not install the same way as the others. Let me give the details :
- installation in text mode (as these are remote servers)
- installation of LXDE *only* (tasksel : LXDE and ssh)
- installation of X2Go
On the 2 systems I could test locally (Debian 8 and Debian 9), the French locales are set properly when the user starts a local X session (the menu is in French). However, on a remote X2Go session, the menu always appears in English (no need to start the software).
Thanks for your help, Bruno

I did dpkg-reconfigure locales as root.
Then I get :
~# locale LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 LANGUAGE= LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_TIME="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_NAME="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_ALL=
But when I ssh with my user login (my x2go user), I get :

Obviously the dpkg-reconfigure locales did not set the locales system-wide. I am working in this direction, still any help is appreciated (even if it now looks like a ssh/locales-related issue...)

sshd_config? Sounds more like something in your shell startup scripts, but there are few options that might influence this. One is AcceptEnv, which by default accepts LC_* LANG on most distros. Still, it's unlikely that this would cause trouble, since libssh (the library we use for communication over SSH - and most importantly a different implementation than OpenSSH) doesn't support this feature.
The only other option I stumbled across is PermitUserEnvironment which is disabled by default and makes sshd read and execute ~/.ssh/environment for logins.
Naturally, if you find the culprit, please update us and the report so that other users that may hit the issue have a pointer.
Mihai
Found : in sshd_config, one must use the "UsePAM yes" directive
I do not really see the link with the locales, and on top of that that open some security holes I guess. For example, adding this instruction I had to add additional instructions to forbid the password authentication.
Conclusions for the reported bugs :
- locales are set properly
- I do not have the LXDE error "no session for pid..." anylonger
- single app mode seems to work for my software (no crash so far)
- I could not test right now ; I guess that one is related to something else...

So you do not see that "bug" on a fresh install. Unfortunately I see it, and also on a fresh install. It is even worse : I see it on 3 fresh server installs :
- Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS (old installation)
- Debian GNU/Linux 8
- Debian GNU/Linux 9
So it seems that I do not install the same way as the others. Let me give the details :
- installation in text mode (as these are remote servers)
- installation of LXDE *only* (tasksel : LXDE and ssh)
- installation of X2Go
On the 2 systems I could test locally (Debian 8 and Debian 9), the French locales are set properly when the user starts a local X session (the menu is in French). However, on a remote X2Go session, the menu always appears in English (no need to start the software).
Thanks for your help, Bruno

People in Laurux's forum have reported this software works in single app mode but on an Ubuntu server.
Okay, I have just tried to reproduce your issues in a new, fresh Debian Stretch VM. Only installed the core system, x2goserver, x2goserver-xsession, lxde and gambas3.
Then (since I installed the system using the en_US.utf8 locale), ran dpkg-reconfigure locales, selected fr_FR.* to be generated and set the default locale to fr_FR.utf8.
Started up a new X2Go session (desktop session, LXDE) and was greeted by a French-speaking LXDE instance (with some English text from the clipboard manager, that does not seem to have a French localization. No problem.)
Afterwards, started gambas3 in the LXDE desktop session. Worked fine. And showed up in French.
Next up: started gambas3 in single application mode. Came up fine and in French.
And just for fun, I then went on, downloaded Laurux3.tar.gz from the website (since this software doesn't seem to be packaged within Debian directly...), installed gambas3-gb-qt4 and gambas3-gb-qt4-ext (since it looked like these modules were missing) and started Laurux3.gambas in the LXDE instance. It greeted me in French with a dialog to setup MySQL. I skipped this and Gambas3-Laurux started up. Again, everything was in French.
Last thing: started /home/ionic/applications/Laurux3/Laurux3.gambas (obviously the path I extracted it to) in a single application session. Again, I was greeted by the dialog to create a MySQL database. Skipped this, and Laurux-Gambas came up. All in French. It looked weird, but that's because in single application mode, we don't yet have an XSETTINGS daemon running that would enable Qt4 to look up its theme settings, so a ugly fallback theme is being used by default.
So far, I'm unable to reproduce any issue (and curiously, the Laurux version from their homepage seems to be using Qt4 instead of Qt5 as well, so I wonder how you came up with Qt4 before.)
I wasn't able to test the double-clicking issue, since all tests were carried out using X2Go Client on Linux.
I'd like to understand why your env variables are not being set correctly, but it doesn't seem to be systematic X2Go bug. With a cleanly installed system, this does not seem to happen.

Found : in sshd_config, one must use the "UsePAM yes" directive
I do not really see the link with the locales, and on top of that that open some security holes I guess. For example, adding this instruction I had to add additional instructions to forbid the password authentication.
PAM authentication is generally good - it also provides stuff like sessions and other access control (for instance with login limits and the like), which pure shadow access does not.
Okay, so what happens is that without PAM support, your shell startup scripts that would normally fetch the system locale are probably not executed. Which one exactly beats me, but that's probably not too important. You really shouldn't disable PAM authentication on Linux.
Instead, you can edit /etc/pam.d/sshd. Disable the common-auth include line. That should make it impossible to login with passwords - but still allow setups with OTP's for instance, if ChallengeResponseAuthentication is enabled in sshd_config.
Conclusions for the reported bugs :
- locales are set properly
Great!
- I do not have the LXDE error "no session for pid..." anylonger
Also good, but that's been LXDE's problem really.
- single app mode seems to work for my software (no crash so far)
Even better. It might look bad in single application mode, as explained before.
- I could not test right now ; I guess that one is related to something else...
Let's assume that still to be the case, though. I'm retitling the bug report as such and will leave it open for the time being.
