Vivid packages in X2Go ppa's
by Mihai Moldovan 21 Apr '15

21 Apr '15

Hi all, I have enabled vivid (15.04) as a supported platform for the stable and nightly X2Go ppa's and requested a build of all packages. Users should be able to install packages off that now. Please treat these packages with care. They may or may not horribly explode. Mihai

x2go performance with 4.0.0 kernel
by Robert Dinse 21 Apr '15

21 Apr '15

I built a 4.0 kernel and booted Fedora 21 on it with x2go server on Fedora 21 box. Accessed from Ubuntu 14.10 box. Tried a high definition Youtube video, worked okay not expanded to full screen. In full screen mode, it was mostly okay but sometimes with rapid panning there was some jerkiness. Sound was smooth either way. I was mostly just curious to see if the 4.0.0 kernel broke anything notable but on the server side seems okay. On the client side, my Nvidia drivers will not load with the 4.0 kernel so couldn't really test client performance under that kernel. -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Eskimo North Linux Friendly Internet Access, Shell Accounts, and Hosting.

Plan to drop Mac OS X 10.6 support
by Stefan Baur 16 Apr '15

16 Apr '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi everyone, I would like to inform you that we're planning to drop OS X 10.6 support this month or during the next few months (depending on your feedback), as part of our ongoing effort to streamline and automate the build process for X2GoClient's OS X versions. Currently, we have to create a separate build for OS X 10.6, which, if we move to new (hosted and virtualized) build hardware, would probably double our monthly costs, so we're trying to avoid that. Rationale: OS X 10.6 is no longer receiving security updates by Apple since February 2014. For OS X 10.5, Apple ceased security support in September 2011. We continued to support OS X 10.5 in X2GoClient until April of 2012. That was a good 6 months over the official end of support from Apple's side. Following that logic, we should already have dropped support for OS X 10.6 around August 2014, so it's long overdue to do so. TL;DR: If you're currently using OS X 10.6 and have no plans or no way to upgrade to a newer release, please speak up now. We might consider providing OS X 10.6 builds of X2GoClient for longer if someone steps up and sponsors the work. - -Stefan - -- BAUR-ITCS UG (haftungsbeschränkt) Geschäftsführer: Stefan Baur Eichenäckerweg 10, 89081 Ulm | Registergericht Ulm, HRB 724364 Fon/Fax 0731 40 34 66-36/-35 | USt-IdNr.: DE268653243 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJVMBiTAAoJEG7d9BjNvlEZpoQIAI2/1qJWfadn+SRETTTD4Hvh 6vu8O16rZGz0X0+rj5lEyFcjRowlTEsiIws5Z/9mQqu/kBYr8+fG3zT2i+yLUamN adUBRFQcFFoS6Y579ZLIwDw9IOm1BJf4i+xmFb5WDflHET/E1uauOcF+XG9SDHQf WQrdN1Zbiu7VcKFXJbtFXAOsAuyLYI1iSTd54GurR12L0t8z8j54sP2VEzDynSX9 01frXMYwBMK+EHZoLjWcJdjHgre95VLqXx0zI1KbCYWP0BPHOikNZTtjIMYI77Qx hqTnZiennSBIscJtRhJhglYIQXDoVAqDAwiGsa+S4L9xZ5JKbYNrXmLraM1zcnc= =AMHP -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Mac Lion
by Robert Dinse 15 Apr '15

15 Apr '15

I recently had need to boot into MacOS Lion (10.7.5) and while I had it running downloaded the most recent X2Go client. I am happy to report the inverted CAPS LOCK key is fixed in the latest version. Unfortunately sound still does not work. I've still got ESD only under MacOS and haven't attempted to compile Pulse Audio yet (and probably won't since I rarely use MacOS anymore). -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Eskimo North Linux Friendly Internet Access, Shell Accounts, and Hosting.

X authorization issues
by Christoph Schmidt-Hieber 10 Apr '15

10 Apr '15

Dear all, We're having issues connecting to an x2go server running on Debian Wheezy. Specifically, we cannot connect to an xfce4 desktop from an OS X client. The x2go client version is 4.0.3.2 (from MacPorts). The x2go server version is 4.0.1.19-0x2go2+git20150326.1064+wheezy.main.1 (from the x2go Debian repo) Connections using plain "ssh -Y" or "ssh -X" work fine. Connections with x2go to a single application work fine. The permissions of $HOME/.Xauthority are 600 The owner of $HOME/.Xauthority is $USER:$USER The first attempt to connect will simply fail, without valuable error messages (at least to me), the second attempt will result in: "Your session was closed before reaching a usable state. This can be due to the local X server refusing access to the client. Please check authorization provided by the remote X application." Debug output from the client is attached. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Christoph

Ok. Can you please check that x2goserver-xsession is installed? I suspect this is not the case. Mihai

WorkSpace Switching
by Robert Dinse 10 Apr '15

10 Apr '15

I spoke too soon, the control-alt-left-arrow or control-alt-right-arrow to switch workspaces when you have an x2go client in them works sometimes. It seems to initially not work, but when you use control-alt-m to minimimize, after it's restored, then the other keys work. This is under Ubuntu with a MatÃ©desktop. -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Eskimo North Linux Friendly Internet Access, Shell Accounts, and Hosting.

GNOME and Unity can not launch
by Heng Zhou 09 Apr '15

09 Apr '15

Hi, I installed the latest X2Go client, but it only works with KDE. When I tried to launch Unity and GNOME desktop, they always fail. To be specific, when I selected Unity, the desktop just flashes and disappear. When I selected GNOME, I got a black desktop window and VcXsrv reports an error saying "Cannot establish any listening socket - make sure an X server isn't already running". The contents of VCXSrv.0.log is: _XSERVTransSocketCreateListener: failed to bind listener _XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to create listener for inet6 _XSERVTransSocketCreateListener: failed to bind listener _XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to create listener for inet (EE) Fatal server error: (EE) Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running(EE) (EE) Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file. I have no idea how to check if any X server is running on my computer. All the settings of X2Go are default. The remote machine is ubuntu 14.04. Any help? Thanks.

x2goserver issue on Ubuntu precise ...
by Sylvain Milot 09 Apr '15

09 Apr '15

Hello everyone, I have the following on my client when I connect to a server running the same ubuntu precise distribution: $ cat .x2go/S-sylvain-52-1428522297_stDXFCE_dp24/sessions Loop: PANIC! The remote NX proxy closed the connection. Loop: PANIC! Failure negotiating the session in stage '7'. Loop: PANIC! Wrong version or invalid session authentication cookie. $ lsb_release -d Description: Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS $ dpkg -l | egrep 'x2go|nxproxy' | perl -ne '@f=split; print "$f[1]\t$f[2]\n"' | column -t nxproxy 2:3.5.0.31-0~605~ubuntu12.04.1 x2goagent 2:3.5.0.31-0~605~ubuntu12.04.1 x2goclient 4.0.3.2-0~800~ubuntu12.04.1 x2goserver 4.0.1.19-0~1064~ubuntu12.04.1 x2goserver-extensions 4.0.1.19-0~1064~ubuntu12.04.1 x2goserver-xsession 4.0.1.19-0~1064~ubuntu12.04.1 Has anyone encountered this ? I had this working at some point and it appears a regression may be at play on the server side. I googled the problem and it seems to have been reported many years ago so perhaps someone on this list can provide some quick insight? On my ubuntu server (also 12.04.5) I have the following : $ dpkg -l | egrep 'x2go|nxproxy' | perl -ne '@f=split; print "$f[1]\t$f[2]\n"' | column -t nxproxy 2:3.5.0.31-0~605~ubuntu12.04.1 python-six 1.8.0-1~bpo70+1~0x2go~ubuntu12.04.1 x2goagent 2:3.5.0.31-0~605~ubuntu12.04.1 x2goclient 4.0.3.2-0~800~ubuntu12.04.1 x2goserver 4.0.1.19-0~1064~ubuntu12.04.1 x2goserver-compat 4.0.1.19-0~1064~ubuntu12.04.1 x2goserver-extensions 4.0.1.19-0~1064~ubuntu12.04.1 x2goserver-xsession 4.0.1.19-0~1064~ubuntu12.04.1 I changed loglevel=debug on the x2go server to look for clues but nothing caught my attention. Note that with the same client (running at home) I can connect to other servers running Debian squeeze, on the same network as the ubuntu precise server (at work). On my debian squeeze servers, I have this ... all works nicely here though: $ dpkg -l | egrep 'x2go|nxproxy' | perl -ne '@f=split; print "$f[1]\t$f[2]\n"' | column -t libnx-x11 2:3.5.0.28-0x2go1+git20141113.546+squeeze.main.1 libssh-4 0.5.4-2~deb6+x2go2 libxcomp3 2:3.5.0.28-0x2go1+git20141113.546+squeeze.main.1 libxcompext3 2:3.5.0.28-0x2go1+git20141113.546+squeeze.main.1 libxcompshad3 2:3.5.0.28-0x2go1+git20141113.546+squeeze.main.1 nxagent 2:3.5.0.28-0x2go1+git20141113.546+squeeze.main.1 nxproxy 2:3.5.0.28-0x2go1+git20141113.546+squeeze.main.1 rdesktop 1.7.1-0~bpo60+x2go1 x2go-keyring 2012.07.23+squeeze~main~17~build1 x2goagent 2:3.5.0.28-0x2go1+git20141113.546+squeeze.main.1 x2goclient 4.0.3.1-0x2go1+git20141127.753+squeeze.main.1 x2godesktopsharing 3.1.1.1-0x2go1+git20140401.131+squeeze.main.1 x2goserver 4.0.1.18-0x2go1+git20141006.949+squeeze.main.1 x2goserver-compat 4.0.1.18-0x2go1+git20141006.949+squeeze.main.1 x2goserver-extensions 4.0.1.18-0x2go1+git20141006.949+squeeze.main.1 x2goserver-xsession 4.0.1.18-0x2go1+git20141006.949+squeeze.main.1 Thanks in advance for any help and x2go is a great piece of software BTW!
