windows-10: how to setup borderless fullscreen window mode in multi monitor setup?
by Jörg Scheuermann 08 Feb '18

08 Feb '18

hey there, I have a new Windows-10 PC with 2 different-size monitors (16:9 + 4:3) attached. In my old Windows-7 PC I used to have X2Go running in borderless fullscreen window mode completely covering my widescreen monitor - so I could easily use the 4:3 monitor (e.g. Windows terminal program on the small monitor, while the X session covers the big one) without disturbing the 16:9 monitor. I tried that with my new Windows-10 PC to no avail - best I could get is Fullscreen mode, but this does not work for me: the mouse is locked to the big X screen and I cannot simply move to the small one. to do this I have to leave the fullscreen mode -- very distracting (flickering) and annoying. configuring the output to not be fullscreen but any of the other options does not get me to what I was used to have either: it's placing the X screen somewhere in the "middle", covering both of my monitors ... //update: seems when playing with output settings, x2go stores some strange settings somewhere - only way to get rid of placing the X screen "between" my monitors was to completely deleting that session and entering all the data again into a new one :/ anyway: I now have somethings I can live with, but still not perfect: even if I set the Display to "use whole monitor", it is not overlapping the taskbar - but only above! - meaning my X Desktop is higher than my monitor and I always have to scroll to see the top/bottom :-( --> is there any way to: * either have the X Window covering *everything*, including the taskbar, * or only let the X server render the screen not in the full height, but excluding the taskbars height? any of these options would get me the full X desktop on my widescreen monitor, without the need for scrolling; I don't really care whether I see the taskbar or not... any help please! p.s. the other two Display options are broken: * "custom resolution" does not take the selected monitor into account (see above: it's placing that custom window in the 'middle', covering both of my monitors) * "maximum size" does not generate a borderless window p.p.s. if I set the taskbar to auto-hide, the X screen still is pretending that it was there, i.e. it's not covering the taskbars space and I have an empty row where the taskbar used to be... /joerg

Upcoming Deprecation of (Almost) EOL Distributions
by Mihai Moldovan 07 Feb '18

07 Feb '18

Hi In order to lower resource stress when building packages, I plan to deprecate support for distributions that have (almost) reached End Of Life on December 31th 2017. This includes the following distro versions: - Debian: o 7.0 "wheezy" - Fedora o 23 o 24 o 25 - OpenSuSE o 13.1 o 13.2 o 42.1 Ubuntu builds are ceased automatically after upstream deprecation. After deprecation, no new builds will be published and existing builds will be moved to the archive repositories to discourage users from installing unmaintained software. Mihai
