I have four machines running 17.10 as servers and a work station runningUbuntu 17.10. I have the client set for display 1, so it gives me a full screen but I can switch to other things. My monitor is 1920x1080. My client version is 4.1.1.1 (Qt - 4.8.7). I have tried it both with the libs supplied from launchpad and I've also tried it with the latest nx-libs compiled from source. Same results either way. The server version that is not working properly for me is 4.1.0.0-0~1453~ubuntu17.10.1.
The X2Go Server version is irrelevant in this case.
An update I applied on December 19th at 23:20 broke it. Prior to thatit worked peroperly. Two days ago it worked properly for me too. Now it does not and I do not see any way of reverting to the previous version.
Yep, about three days ago, I switched Launchpad to the new Arctica version of nx-libs, which seems to trigger your issues.
This version has been used by only a few people during the last two years, but we have to switch to it ASAP as part of X2Go as well for our server components to be able to land into the official Ubuntu repositories for 18.04 LTS.
The change should have been carried out more than a week ago, but due to some unforeseen bug within launchpad itself (and my lack of looking at the repository import status), this was delayed until I switched the repository to a native git import about three days ago.
Unfortunately, launchpad doesn't provide snapshots of older packages. Once a new version was uploaded to the repository, older versions are deleted. This deletions happens roughly every few hours or once a day.
Even though, we cnanot switch back to the old version. It's crucial to carry out this migration - in doubt even with remaining problems.
Testing of course is always welcome. I haven't heard about the problems you described yet, but of course that doesn't have to mean anything.
What does "but I can't use the bottom half or approximately right third of my desktop now" mean exactly? Are these regions not drawn at all? Or are they drawn but insensitive to clicks? Is the window big enough to cover the whole screen, or is local desktop stuff visible within these regions (which would indicate that the window is too small)?
