Thanks for your work on the x2go packages. I was hoping someone could help me to be able to connect using the armel builds. I have a hp touchpad with x server running and a chrooted version of debian squeeze. I've installed the packages without any problems and I'm having some problems getting a session to start successfully. When I initiate a session from the touchpad, it will connect and the desktop displays, but any window manager items seem to
What Xserver are you using on the touchpad? The Xorg that is in Debian?
crash. The panels don't display, any pop-up windows just flash and flicker. Only the desktop icons display correctly. And dmesg gives the following errors repeatedly:
[...]
What does work is if I'm resuming a session that was initiated via a windows (or amd64) x2goclient. One difference that I notice is that the windows-initiated session name ends with dp32 (I'm assuming that's the color depth?) and the touchpad/armel-initiated session ends with dp24. Any ideas on how to get it to work correctly when initiating the session on the armel device?
Windows color depth 32 equals Linux color depth 24. The upper 8bit are
not really used for color resolution but for something else (I have
forgotten what...). So 32bit on Win and 24bit on Linux are equivalent.
So, basically what happens is that x2goagent crashes on metacity
session startup on the server-side. That is: something happens on the
GNOME desktop during startup the lets metacity segfault.
Please try to narrow down the error:
o use a simple xterm session first o then use LXDE (simple desktop) as session o then try to disable all special effects on your GNOME desktop o by any chance try to connect to some other server (Ubuntu lucid, Debian squeeze preferrably) o ... and report what happens
Is the X2go server in your LAN (I am asking for connection speed)?
Install Xnest on the Ubuntu natty machine and launch an Xnest session
via ,,ssh -X''. Does that Xnest session (running on the Ubuntu
machine, X-forwarded through SSH and displayed on your touchpad)
survive? Or does it also crash???
If, by any chance, you can install a wheezy chroot on your pad... you
could use the x2goclient from squeeze/armel and try if an upgrade of
the local XServer does help.
