x2go, pam_mount cifs and multiple mounting
by Denis Cardon 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

Hi every one, I am trying to setup pam_mount+cifs for a x2go server. I want to remove an aging nfs based homedir setup. The mounting works ok and I get my x2go session with my homedir file. However, due to the way x2go deals with logon process, it seems that the pam scripts are called five times, and so I get the home dir mounted five times ! The homedirs are stored on a samba/openldap PDC servers. I wanted to know if anyone of you had some trick to avoid the redondant mounting. I pasted below the revelant files. /etc/secutiry/pam_mount.conf.xml ================== <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE pam_mount SYSTEM "pam_mount.conf.xml.dtd"> <pam_mount> <debug enable="1" /> <volume user="*" fstype="cifs" server="srvfichiers" path="%(USER)" mountpoint="/home/homes/%(USER)/" options="uid=%(USER),workgroup=MYDOMAIN" /> <mntoptions allow="nosuid,nodev,nonempty,allow_root" /> <mntoptions require="nosuid,nodev" /> <mkmountpoint enable="1" remove="true" /> </pam_mount> ==================== /etc/pam.d/common-auth ====================== auth [success=2 default=ignore] pam_unix.so nullok_secure try_first_pass auth [success=1 default=ignore] pam_ldap.so use_first_pass auth requisite pam_deny.so auth required pam_permit.so auth optional pam_mount.so ====================== /etc/pam.d/common-session ========================== session [default=1] pam_permit.so session requisite pam_deny.so session required pam_permit.so session required pam_unix.so session optional pam_ck_connector.so nox11 session required pam_mkhomedir.so silent skel=/etc/skel.empty session optional pam_mount.so session optional pam_ldap.so ======================= -- Denis Cardon Tranquil IT Systems 44 bvd des pas enchantés 44230 Saint Sébastien sur Loire tel : +33 (0) 2.40.97.57.57 http://www.tranquil-it-systems.fr

New X2go releases (as of 2011-10-12)
by Mike Gabriel 12 Oct '11

12 Oct '11

Hi all, two weeks ago the X2go project developers team has agreed on releasing X2go source projects in shorter release intervals than before. The goal of this is to make new code and X2go features available to the community sooner rather then later and to provide more clarity on what is considered stable and up-to-date and what not. The plan is to release code that - we consider as stable - has been tested by more than one person and - has not been changed in X2go Git for more than 14 days the upcoming Wednesday. As this is the first release shot we will take (after a long time with only irregurlar releases), the changelogs of the individual projects are quite long. Feel free to study these changelog (at the end of this mail) or not. The released source projects of this Wednesday (2011-10-12) are: CLIENT: - x2goclient (3.99.0.1) - pinentry-x2go (0.7.5.1) - python-x2go (0.1.1.18) - x2gothinclient (v1.0.1.3) SERVER: - x2goserver (3.0.99.6) - x2gognomebindings (2.0.1.3) - x2golxdebindings (1.0.1.1) - x2godesktopsharing (3.0.1.3) - cups-x2go (3.0.0.3) Stable packages for Debian/Ubuntu are currently building, a Windows and Debian Armel installer/package of x2goclient will follow within the next days. For server-side packages we will also provide lenny backports within the next week. Please take a good look at the changelogs before upgrading your systems, rather test on a non-production server first, if unsure. The X2go team does not give you any warranties if anything fails with your environment (we simply give our best to provide you with stable code). Greets+HaveFun, Mike Gabriel PS: the changelogs... x2goclient (3.99.0.1-0~x2go1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream version (3.99.0.1): - Set TCP_NODELAY (equals: turn Nagle off) for SSH graphical port forwarding tunnel. - Include cups/ppd.h in cupsprint.h, fixes build on Debian wheezy/sid. - Add build_man/clean_man stanzas to Makefile. * Explicitly use source format 3.0 (native). * Build-depend on libssh-dev (>=0.4.7). * Update menu file in /debian folder (rename title to ,,X2go Client (Qt)''). * Do not run man2html from rules file anymore. -- Mike Gabriel <mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de> Wed, 12 Oct 2011 11:11:50 +0200 pinentry-x2go (0.7.5.1-0~x2go1) unstable; urgency=low [ Oleksandr Shneyder ] * Set font size in pinentry dialog to 14 -- Mike Gabriel <mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de> Wed, 12 Oct 2011 10:42:21 +0200 x2gothinclient (1.0.1.3-0~x2go1.1) unstable; urgency=low [ Mike Gabriel ] New upstream version (1.0.1.3): - Split up x2gocdmanager package into x2gocdmanager and x2gothinshutdown package - Fix USB mounting, CD mounting, - Improve code layout (tab stops, inline comments) - Add HTTP_PROXY and FTP_PROXY support to x2gothinclientmanagement (APT package download) - Add example files/symlinks for tftpboot environment. - Add syslinux boot splash with X2go flavour. - Install 486 and 686 kernels in TCE chroot. - Move PXE tftpboot examples to x2gothinclient/share/tftpboot. - Improval of syslinux boot screen. - Add x2gothinclient_preptftpboot script. - Add man page for x2gothinclient_preptftpboot. - Do not run management script if there is a problem with the X2go TCE chroot. - Sanity checks: X2go TCE management script have to run as root. - Add HTTPS_PROXY support. - Add x2gothinclient_cleanup script. - Add man page for x2gothinclient_cleanup. - Run x2gothinclient_init from x2gothinclientd init script. - Fix udev rules path in x2gosmartcardrules, improval of udev script, plus man page. - Fix udev rules path in x2gousbmount. - Add comment that names possible boot profiles to tftp config template. - Add kernel module blacklisting for x2gothinclient_create. - Tweak mtab diversion on X2go Thin Client to avoid error messages. - Add some more PXE/TFTP info at end of x2gothinclient_pretftpboot script. - Disable service restarts in chroot. - Add a ,,hit <RETURN> before TCE creation. - Add tmpfs mount for /var/lib/dbus. - Reduce x2goclient CPU load from ~100% to ~0-1%. - Boot TCE kernel with nomodeset boot option to avoid gCard incompatibilities (Fb vs. Xorg). - Move kernel/initrd symlinks after install rather than copying. - Add detection of kernel upgrades to x2gothinclient_upgrade script. - Adapt chroot file created by x2gothinclient_upgrade, escaping $-signs. - Use --no-session-edit option when starting x2goclient on TCE. - Delay thinshutdown button appearance for 4+6 seconds on X server (re)start (that is: 10s on tce start or X server restart and 4s after session logout). - Add post-run instructions of x2gothinclient_preptftpboot to its man page. * Add acpid to x2gothinclient's Recommends: section. * Remove ssh (=openssh-server) dependency for x2gothinclient package. * Add memtest86+ to x2gothinclient's Recommends: section. * Add midnight commander to Recommends: of x2gothinclient. * x2gothinshutdown: conflicts x2gocdmanager<=1.0.1.2.

Re: [X2go-User] x2go client errors under Windows 7

I don't remember any additional steps after installing it. I do remember that I didn't try the x2goclient versions at the link you posted on Windows 7 because they are 2 years old. Instead, I nosed around and found some newer builds here: http://x2go.obviously-nice.de/deb/windows/ I'm currently running the 3.99.0.1-092011 build without any major issues (as long as I don't run fullscreen). Also, make sure that there aren't any Xming, sshd or pulseaudio processes running on the Windows 7 machine before you (re)launch x2goclient. I've noticed that x2goclient doesn't always kill them when you close it (especially when you have to kill it due to a lost or hung connection that it refuses to terminate in a timely manner).

x2go client errors under Windows 7

Does anyone running X2go client under windows 7? I am getting two issues. One is I have to manually launch Xming Server, which is not a big deal. Another is every time after connected I always got two error dialogs, "Can't read host rsa key:C:\Program Files\x2goclient\etc\ssh_host_rsa_key.pub", then another "Unable to read:.pub". They don't prevent me from using the client but very annoying and always need two extra clicks to close them. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks! Jian

I've installed x2go (SQLite) with PXE boot and everything looks like it went ok. The server is an HP DL-385 G7 with 16GB ram, 1TB drive and AMD Opteron Model 6128 HE 8 core, 2.0 GHz, 12MB L3 processor. Runing with a Wyse S50 thin client at 100Mbps on a switch directly to the server. The server is doing nothing other than hosting this x2go project. PXE boots and I'm presented with a logon screen but the response is extremely slow. Even as I type in my password the characters are echoed to the screen several seconds after I type them. Nothing ever happens after I enter the password, the screen goes blank and there it sits. I've left it for hours and nothing changes. The nic light blinks like crazy so I watched with tcpdump and posted it below if that helps (sorry about the wrap). Loads of nfs traffic for some reason. Never ending. Not sure where to look at this point. Any help is appreciated. 10.0.0.118.1565611263 > 10.0.0.25.nfs: 112 getattr fh Unknown/0100070107009802000000000B3CE9DF7EBC40B79767B6A5157166FE3A229802 14:20:12.301227 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 53582, offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 168) 10.0.0.25.nfs > 10.0.0.118.1565611263: reply ok 112 getattr REG 100644 ids 0/0 sz 21494 14:20:12.305717 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 31678, offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 168) 10.0.0.118.1582388479 > 10.0.0.25.nfs: 112 getattr fh Unknown/0100070107009802000000000B3CE9DF7EBC40B79767B6A5157166FE6E059802 14:20:12.305837 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 53583, offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 168) 10.0.0.25.nfs > 10.0.0.118.1582388479: reply ok 112 getattr REG 100755 ids 0/0 sz 1319176 14:20:12.344420 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 31679, offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 52) 10.0.0.118.801 > 10.0.0.25.nfs: Flags [.], cksum 0x5ddd (correct), seq 21496, ack 19553, win 40001, options [nop,nop,TS val 5608091 ecr 27371128], length 0 14:20:12.554111 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 31680, offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 172) 10.0.0.118.1599165695 > 10.0.0.25.nfs: 116 access fh Unknown/0100070107009802000000000B3CE9DF7EBC40B79767B6A5157166FE0A009802 NFS_ACCESS_READ|NFS_ACCESS_LOOKUP|NFS_ACCESS_MODIFY|NFS_ACCESS_EXTEND|NFS_ACCESS_DELETE 14:20:12.554258 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 53584, offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 176) 10.0.0.25.nfs > 10.0.0.118.1599165695: reply ok 120 access attr: DIR 40755 ids 0/0 sz 4096 nlink 13 rdev 0/0 fsid 4926cd6b7a5f5b9c fileid 298000a a/m/ctime 1317734895.560868495 1317735279.990868336 1317735279.990868336 c 0003 14:20:12.554755 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 31681, offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 52) 10.0.0.118.801 > 10.0.0.25.nfs: Flags [.], cksum 0x5c9d (correct), seq 21616, ack 19677, win 40001, options [nop,nop,TS val 5608143 ecr 27371152], length 0

Crashing sessions
by Paul van der Vlis 02 Oct '11

02 Oct '11

Hello, I've seen the last time session problems. Sometimes, most of the time when closing a full-screen window, the whole session is gone. I've seen this with both x2goclient and Pyhoca-GUI, but I cannot reproduce it. I know this problem from FreeNX, it's one of the reasons I switched to X2go. I think it's something in the NX libraries. Maybe it has something to do with new NX libraries? Are here more people with this issue? Is here somebody who knows more about this issue?

X2go i18n team
by Mike Gabriel 27 Sep '11

27 Sep '11

Hi all, we would like to set up an i18n team for X2go. The task of this team will be the maintenance of translation files in all X2go projects that utilize translation mechanism. Do I need to be able to read and write code for this? Definitely, no! Become a member of a translation team is a possibility to be in close contact to the developer team without necessarily being able to code. Only pre-requisite: you use X2go quite regularly and no the functionalities of the X2go components... plus: your English is good enough to find good translations of menu items, dialog boxes, etc. Each translator is responsible for the translation files of his/her language. Of course, it is also possible to maintain one translation language as a sub-team (that is: one language is maintained by more than one person). Currently these applications are using translation features: x2goclient pyhoca-gui x2gognomebindings plasma-widget-x2go (KDE$ binding) x2godesktopsharing x2goadmincenter ... (possibly more to come) ... The idea is to have a dedicated mailing list for announcing x2go-i18n issues (mostly mails like: ,,i18n Team, please translate this-and-that'' and a permanent team (with fluctuations, if needed, but preferably not so much fluctuation among the team members) that feels responsible and dedicated to providing a multi-lingual X2go environment to the world. The tools that we use for translations are currently versatile. Depending on the team we will find ways to standardize the translation technologies (if the team members are flexible with using different i18n tools, then this may not be needed). So, if you are interested in contributing translations to X2go and join the development realm by this approach, please-please-please subscribe to http://lists.berlios.de/mailman/admin/listinfo/x2go-i18n and ping us developers on that list. Thanks in advance for your time!!!

x2go-server
by Thomas Ritter 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

Hi, we are using x2go as Terminal-server-Solution instead of an LTSP-server in the skolelinux edu-debian-environment. The TS-server works an the Clients are working well, but: 1) The RAM fills with old x2go-sessions. They are not killed by any service anytime. The used RAM grows up and the server-performance decrease. I "solved" the problem by killing all x2goagents-prozesses with cron twice a day. 2) The home-directories of my users fill with log-files like these : /home/pcag01/.x2go/S-es01-119-1313081349_stDKDE_dp24and they are not deleted. 3) My logfiles in /var/log like message or syslog grow up to a few hundred MB for example with entries like these: Sep 22 06:30:24 ltspserver01 ltspserver01 console-kit-daemon[24530]: WARNING: Record was not written to disk (File too large) Sep 22 06:30:55 ltspserver01 last message repeated 606 times Is there anyone who understands what my server makes?

Question about Pyhoca-gui
by Paul van der Vlis 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

Hello, To use Pyhoca-GUI you need 4 steps: - start Pyhoca-GUI, what only adds an icon - find and open the icon - connect to a server - start a session to that server I think for many normal people this is "complex". They would like 2 steps: - start the program, so that it's visable and not only an icon - start a connection and session to a server I am afraid this is not possible with Pyhoca GUI. Correct? What's the advantage to have a separate connection and session? With regards, Paul. -- Paul van der Vlis Linux systeembeheer, Groningen http://www.vandervlis.nl

x2goclient does not connect, Pyhoca-GUI does.
by Paul van der Vlis 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

Hello, Strange problem. I connect with x2goclient to a customer, it says after a very short time: "Access denied. Authentication that can continue: publickey,keyboard-interactive". When I connect using SSH with the same username and pasword and as the same user, there is no problem to connect. I've also tried Pyhoca-GUI. That worked without problems too. Can somebody explain me what's the underlaying difference? Maybe some different library is used for DNS or something like that? When I try it with x2goclient using a wrong password, there is nothing in the /var/log/auth.log on the not-working-host. When I connect to another customer with x2goclient, there is no problem. When I use a wrong password there, it is logged in /var/log/auth.log. With regards, Paul -- Paul van der Vlis Linux systeembeheer, Groningen http://www.vandervlis.nl

pyhoca-gui, x2goclient compatibility bugfix released
by Mike Gabriel 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

Hi all, today I have discovered and fixed a bug in pyhoca-gui that caused session profile problems in x2goclient after pyhoca-gui had been started on the same system for the same user (on Linux, both use the same config file: ~/.x2goclient/sessions). The symptoms were: o start pyhoca-gui o edit a session profile, change it from some desktop command to a non-desktop command o switch it back to a desktop command again o in pyhoca-gui you won't realize a problem o but: if you use this session profile in x2goclient, a desktop session will start in non-desktop mode: many individual windows are opened for the different desktop applications and applets I have just uploaded pyhoca-gui 0.1.0.8, which fixes this compatibility problem. The new pyhoca-gui version will also repair session profiles: edit a broken profile and save it again (from within pyhoca-gui). The session profile should be usable in x2goclient again, then.

SOLVED X Connection Refused problem
by John A. Sullivan III 07 Sep '11

07 Sep '11

Hello, all. We've seen a couple of postings in the past where users just could not connect and would get session errors about the X connection failing with a 111 Connection Refused and a message about channels with certain file descriptors and IDs not being closed. We've hit this in the past and have never gotten around it reliably. Any success seemed to be purely random luck. Today, we cracked one definitively. The problem was a mangled /tmp/.X11-unix directory. It is very specific to our environment but it may jog someone else's mind to find what the ultimate underlying issue is. We have been working on creating portable, encrypted boot sticks to boot a lightweight Linux desktop to connect to our X2Go systems as a way of getting around the poor performance of the Windows X2Go client as well as provide extra security, lower end user support requirements, further separation between the data center based "Content Network" and the unmanaged end devices, and portability between physical computers. All the testing and builds were done with the same very old laptop with Debian Squeeze. The only differences was one boot stick was built by installing Debian from the netinstall CD and used LXDE and the other was built with debootstrap and used Xfce. In both cases, we had a script named settmp to move the /tmp directory into RAM if there was sufficient RAM in the machine. It did this by copying anything already in /tmp to a scratch directory, deleting everything in /tmp, remounting /tmp as a tmpfs, copying everything back in, and then erasing the contents of the scratch directory. File transfers were done with rsync to ensure easier and safer handling of hidden files (no rm -Rf /tmp/.* - which deletes /tmp/.. ! - thankfully did not learn that the hard way). The LXDE system ran x2goclient perfectly well but the Xfce system almost never connected. Suspecting it was an SSH problem because of the channel error messages, I tried doing an ssh -X to the x2goserver and running xterm. It complained about a connection refused and pointed to .X11-unix which I remembered was in /tmp. I wondered if the moving and then moving back was mangling it. I then restarted X on the same system now that /tmp was already moved and x2goclient worked perfectly. I then rewrote the script as a real init script and used insserv to place it before x11-common. After several reboots, it has worked flawlessly. x2goclient connects all the time. In retrospect, I had comment out the settmp script on the LXDE station while troubleshooting something else and had forgotten about it! So, we successfully solved the dreaded X connection refused problem in our environment. Hopefully that will help the others who have been burned by it - John
