I'm glad to hear about the 1st part. :)
Mike#1, can you comment on the 2 dependencies?

It mostly worked. With x2goserver installed I can connect now with myx2goclient and screen resizes properly. Also in Mate, System->Preferences->Hardware->Displays now works.
However, it breaks any of the x2goserver-pyhoca and x2goserver-compatcan not be installed because of unmet dependencies. More concerned about the compat since some of my customers insist on running antique versions of software and getting them to ugprade is like pulling teeth. Actually, pulling teeth is easier.

Hi Robert,
I updated the email subject to make it more clear.
For those who do not know, this is a reply to Robert's nx-libs 3.5.99.1 upgrade issue as listed in: http://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1089
Software installer is the wrong tool for the job. "dpkg -i" does not work with apt repos. It also doesn't handle dependency resolution.
To add this apt repo on Ubuntu 16.04, you would create a file with a name like this: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nx-libs-beta.list ("nx-libs-beta" can differ. The folder path and the ".list" extension must be the same.) with these contents: deb http://packages.arctica-project.org/ubuntu xenial main
You also run this command: wget -qO - http://packages.arctica-project.org/archive.key | sudo apt-key add -
To recover your system, I recommend the following: a. Run
apt-get updateb. Runapt-cache search libnxc. Uninstall all the libnx packages, such as by running: sudo apt-get purge <package-list> Note that this step (or the next one) will result in x2goclient and x2goserver being uninstalled. That should be OK, see step f. d. Also remove "nxproxy" if it is still installed. e. Add the nx-libs 3.5.99.1 repo from #4. f. Install x2goclient or x2goserver (+ any other client/server packages.) This should pull in nx-libs 3.5.99.1.For those who are wondering why this upgrade issue can occur when using "dpkg -i" on all the nx-libs deb packages, it is because nx-libs 3.6 drops many of the X11 libraries that were part of nx-libs 3.5 in favor of the system's X11 libraries. Thus those library packages no longer exist, and the entire upgrade process needs to involve removing those libraries.

I used dpkg -i file, same as the software installer. I did thisbecause the installer blew up and I couldn't see the error.

Robert,
Debian: deb http://packages.arctica-project.org/ubuntu {jessie,stretch,sid} main Ubuntu: deb http://packages.arctica-project.org/ubuntu {trusty,xenial} main
These are apt repos, and they are meant to used that way, not installed as downloaded .deb files.
I don't mean to be rude, but could you please start a thread on x2go-user for help with installing them and recovering your system?
