Package: nxagent Version: 3.5.99.15-0~201803072246~ubuntu16.04.1 Severity: grave

I originally submitted this post for bug 1269, but as this is a somewhat different issue of greater severity, I am creating a separate bug. Reason for grave severity: bug makes the package in question unusable, as it does the whole x2go server.

Short description: Attempt of starting an x2go session causes the session window to briefly appear and then disappear. Server syslog shows a segfault: kernel: [ 3899.187248] nxagent[7306]: segfault at 0 ip 0000558c9d0045fb sp 00007ffdad91c1f0 error 4 in nxagent[558c9cf39000+432000]

In my case, a routine system update (apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade) rendered a production server unusable, with no easy way to rollback the botched x2go update. The issue did not appear before the update. I recreated the issue on clean install of a vanilla Ubuntu 16.04 server running in a VM. I use this install as a basis for the description below.

Versions - server: x2goserver: 4.1.0.0-0~1517~ubuntu16.04.1 (this is the newest server from x2go stable PPA for Ubuntu 16.04) nxagent: 3.5.99.15-0~201803072246~ubuntu16.04.1 uname -r: 4.4.0-116-generic lsb_release -d: Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS

Versions - client: x2goclient: 4.0.5.1-1 (this is the newest client from Ubuntu 16.04 repo) uname -r: 4.13.0-32-generic lsb_release -d: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install Ubuntu 16.04 server in a VM (from ubuntu-16.04.3-server-amd64.iso downloaded from ubuntu.com).

2. Update the system (apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade) and reboot.

3. Install x2go as described on https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:repositories:ubuntu All commands run as root (sudo su -) apt-add-repository ppa:x2go/stable apt-get update apt-get install x2goserver x2goserver-xsession --no-install-recommends

4. Install minimal XFCE desktop: apt-get install xfwm4 xfce4-panel xfce4-settings xfce4-session xfce4-terminal xfdesktop4 xfce4-taskmanager xfce4-appfinder xfce4-artwork --no-install-recommends

5. Attempt to connect with a x2go client from another machine: My x2goclient version: 4.0.5.1-1
