Release Round After May 23th
by Mihai Moldovan 16 May '15

16 May '15

Hi This is meant as a heads-up. After May, 23th, I will merge currently non-applied patches, apply trivial bugfixes and release new versions of at least the following components: - X2Go Client - X2Go Broker The new version of X2Go Client will NOT yet include the WIP OS X fixes and PulseAudio integration. It turned out that bundling PulseAudio is more complicated than I would have liked and getting things wrapped up is taking longer than expected. I plan to include them in 4.0.4.1, though. X2Go Broker has, likewise, seen a lot of changes that warrant a new release version. This was especially asked for by Mike Gabriel. Other components may also see releases dependent of my judgment.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | X2Go: The Gathering 2015 - 2015-06-19 - 2015-06-21 @ Linuxhotel | +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ Hello, everyone! This is an update on the X2Go: The Gathering 2015 situation. ** Please pay special attention to the sections containing the ** ** word "UPDATE" in capital letters. ** Registration ends in one week from today! UPDATE: All beds are booked out by our ten participants! These are, in alphabetical order: - - Alonso, Nicolas Arenas (TheQVD) - - Baur, Stefan (BAUR-ITCS) - - DePaulo, Michael Swinick - - Fleten, Kjetil Andre (fleten.net) - - Gabriel, Mike (DAS-NETZWERKTEAM) - - Heinold, Henning - - Martinez, Nito (TheQVD) - - Moldovan, Mihai (BAUR-ITCS) - - Pedersen-Cook, Mark (fleten.net) - - Wicke, Florian (Hetzner) UPDATE: Thanks to Florian Wicke's employer, Hetzner, we will be able to cover the accomodation costs of at least 4 participants, and we will probably spend the remaining money of Hetzner's sponsorship on food and/or travel expenses. Also, special thanks to Linuxhotel for jumping in and renewing their kind offer, as we had originally selected another location that didn't work out. If you still want to join us, you have the following options: - - You can bring your own sleeping bag and sleep on the conference room floor (in theory, bringing your own tent and setting it up on the lawn should work, too - it has been done before - but if you're really that desperate, please *do* tell me in advance that you're bringing a tent, so I can check back with the Linuxhotel owners). - - You can visit us on a day-by-day basis, sleeping elsewhere. - - UPDATE: You can ask me to be put on a waiting list, in case more beds become available. Regardless of which option you choose: Please DO contact me at X2Go-ML-1(a)baur-itcs.de with the text "The Gathering" somewhere in the subject and bug me publicly on the X2Go-Project list if you don't receive a confirmation by e-mail after a day or two. For those sleeping elsewhere, there's no such hard deadline as for the room reservations, but you will need to "check in" (see "Admission fee" below) for our gathering with the Linuxhotel staff, so please *do* let us know in advance. *Cost overview* UPDATE: An overview of the costs, updated for people interested in taking the sleeping bag or day-to-day approach, is available at: http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/events:x2go-gathering-2015#cost_overview *Payment* UPDATE: You will have to pay in cash *on Saturday morning* - or *upon arriving at Linuxhotel*, if you're not staying over night. Sorry, we can't accept credit cards, debit cards, bitcoins or other forms of payment for this event - *cash only*. UPDATE: The only exception to the rule are wire transfers for those participants wanting to pay in advance. Also, all payments must be made in *Euro, not in foreign currencies*. If you wish to pay in advance, please contact me via E-Mail at X2Go-ML-1(a)baur-itcs.de for the SEPA banking details. *Lunch/Dinner/BBQ* UPDATE: We have reached "critical mass" so that we could order lunch/dinner from Linuxhotel as well, if all participants agree. Dear participants: Please let me know whether you would like to [ ] have lunch served by Linuxhotel on [ ] Saturday [ ] Sunday [ ] both [ ] have dinner served by Linuxhotel on Saturday [ ] have dinner at Unperfekthaus on Saturday, like last year [ ] bring your own food/order pizza/fire up the BBQ whenever you want I need your answer by 2015-05-18, so I can make the proper reservations and arrangements!!! Linuxhotel charges 5 EUR per person and lunch/dinner, however, you can expect a discount on that due to the Hetzner sponsorship. Dinner at Unperfekthaus is 15,90 EUR minimum (for 1 hour), 4 EUR extra if you want to extend your stay to a total of 5 hours. Mihai: Bring your student ID for a discount. *Event schedule* The event schedule is still in the making. Note that this year, we will have the option to split up into smaller groups in different rooms for more effective co-working on individual topics, hands-on demonstrations, and for side-topic presentations that may not be of interest to the entire group. Please let me know if you would like to volunteer for a presentation/talk!!! E-Mail me at X2Go-ML-1(a)baur-itcs.de So far, we have two or three topics by Mike#1, one by Mike#2, one by me (probably/hopefully together with Mike#1), and something like 2-4 topics by the TheQVD foilks. As always, we will be updating the Wiki page http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/events:x2go-gathering-2015 as more information becomes available.

Newbie question: What is x2go's relationship to VcXsrv?
by David Aldrich 11 May '15

11 May '15

Hi I use VcXsrv and have just come across x2go. Please will someone explain if there is any relationship between x2go and VcXsrv? Why might I want to use x2go instead of VcXsrv? (I work on a Windows 8.1 machine and want to access GUI apps on Linux machines). Best regards David

Not the response I > was hoping for but if that's what it is, that's what it is. Well, there isn't a real technical reason why we support bash only, it's just that the current code kind of relies on it to work and has never been testing with anything else but the bash-like dash and maybe the POSIX-compatible dash/bash sh-emulation. ksh is bash-like enough to by chance "just work". You'll see weird behavior with csh and others, though. Besides making all remote calls POSIX sh-compatible, I wouldn't know how to fix the problem. And I'm not even sure csh and friends *are* POSIX sh-compatible, without looking it up first... That wasn't meant as a "bash or die" statement, but given the current state of affairs, it comes close to that. Mihai

Keyboard Translation Mac/OS
by Robert Dinse 04 May '15

04 May '15

I posted here a while back about an issue with keyboard translation with MacOS 10.10.3, it worked fine on my sons computer but not on a customers with the same OS. I went to the customers premise today and from his machine logged in as myself and the keyboard worked properly, logged in as him and it did not. We narrowed it down to his having /bin/csh as the shell on the Ubuntu 14.04 server and I /bin/ksh. Changing his shell to ksh resolved the translation issue. However, from a Ubuntu 14.10 Linux workstation, it is fine to have csh as the shell on the server, it only breaks if originating from a MacOS workstation. Any idea why it would matter what login shell is used if originating from a mac but not from Linux? -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Eskimo North Linux Friendly Internet Access, Shell Accounts, and Hosting.

http proxy connection
by Caterina Piazza 04 May '15

04 May '15

Dear List, I'm trying to use X2go client with a http proxy connection. In the session options I selected the "Use proxy server for connection" and the type "HTTP", I entered the proxy port and address but when I start the session I always get this error: "cannot connect to proxy server". What it's wired is that even if I selected the http option when I try to start the session a window opens asking for the password for the SSH proxy. Are there any problems with the http proxy connection? Can I use X2go client with this type of connection? Thank you in advance for your help Kind regards Caterina

x2goserver issue on Ubuntu precise ...
by Sylvain Milot 01 May '15

01 May '15

Hello everyone, please disregard my previous mailing and consider this enhanced version ... (NOTE: dismiss it if needed as it hasn't yet been approved) 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 can replicate this on any ubuntu precise server within the same network and I can also replicate it when connecting to localhost! 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 and wheezy, on the same network as the ubuntu precise server (at work). On my debian squeeze servers, I have the following: $ 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 And on my debian wheezy servers, I have the following: $ dpkg -l | egrep 'x2go|nxproxy' | perl -ne '@f=split; print "$f[1]\t$f[2]\n"' | column -t libnx-x11 2:3.5.0.27-0x2go1+git20140701.511+wheezy.main.1 libxcomp3 2:3.5.0.27-0x2go1+git20140701.511+wheezy.main.1 libxcompext3 2:3.5.0.27-0x2go1+git20140701.511+wheezy.main.1 libxcompshad3 2:3.5.0.27-0x2go1+git20140701.511+wheezy.main.1 nxagent 2:3.5.0.27-0x2go1+git20140701.511+wheezy.main.1 x2goagent 2:3.5.0.27-0x2go1+git20140701.511+wheezy.main.1 x2goserver 4.0.1.17-0x2go1+git20141003.946+wheezy.main.1 x2goserver-extensions 4.0.1.17-0x2go1+git20141003.946+wheezy.main.1 x2goserver-xsession 4.0.1.17-0x2go1+git20141003.946+wheezy.main.1 Thanks in advance for any help and x2go is a great piece of software BTW! ... hopefully, I can get it to work just as nicely on ubuntu.
