Yes, let's take the discussion of the win32 builds to another thread and/or IRC.

Watch for an announcement on x2go-dev.

@Mike(DePaulo)
Many thanks. I'll look out for the new Windows client builds.

@Mike(Gabriel)
Am I going to need recent nightly builds of the server as well? I'm currently using the RPMS from the Fedora 20 repository maintained by Orion. Current version is x2goserver-4.0.1.9-2.fc20.x86_64.

Thanks both.

Roderick

Hi Roderick,

I am the current maintainer of the windows builds.

There are no nightly windows builds because the windows builds are not
automated. they are done manually by me according to the instructions here:
http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:development:build-howto-mswin:x2goclient?s[]=win32
Other people can follow those instructions too. They could use some
clarifications, but they are accurate.

Automating the windows builds and producing nightly builds is something
I would like to accomplish in the future, but I cannot make any
commitments at this time.

I will do a few windows builds over the next several days. If they're
not going to be posted on the downloads site under "previews", I'll put
them on a file hosting site so you and everyone else can try them.

                    PS Now I'm fighting wrong keyboard mappings (see my
                    post to the Fedora
                    kde list). I managed to get x2go to set the correct
                    type and layout but
                    I think kde is overriding it. I got this all working
                    in the beta, but
                    its broken again in the F20 release.


                I did notice this in the x2go log, maybe related?

                nxagentXkbGetRules: WARNING! Failed to stat file
                [/usr/lib64/nx/X11/xkb/rules/__xorg]: Unknown error -1.



            Yes, I noticed that too. I think that is fixed by touching
            the file
            usr/share/X11/xkb/keymap.dir. Anyway, touching the
            keymap.dir file
            seems to be needed for the keyboard mapping to work at all.

            Actually there are three cases of different settings in the
            client.
            Currently I only have the case of setting the keyboard type
            and layout
            explicitly, working. I will be reporting the non-working
            cases, but
            need some time for more testing to be sure of whats not working.

            By putting some debugging into /usr/bin/startkde I can see
            that the
            keymap is set correctly before starting kde but once the
            session is
            established its changed to a us keyboard layout.

        Please try X2Go Client from our nightly builds [1] with your
        testings.
        The keyboard setup method has slightly changed there.

    Thanks for your interest in this. Getting this working is a high
    priority for me.

    I checked out the link that you posted. I am interested in Windows
    and Macos Clients. Currently I've been testing the Windows client
    but can't see any nightly builds for that OS on that page. Can you
    provide a more specific link please?

    I did check the preview releases but dont ee anything newer than the
    4.0.1.2 version that I have.

    Many thanks.
