Hi Uli,

Thank you- concur about images- in the past, copy-paste of them only worked within a session, not across. My workaround was to paste-save to /tmp on the host and then open saved image from another session. But nearly all copy-paste for me is text / URLs. 

Re versions of nxagent:

Currently:

[admin@localhost ~]$ dnf list installed | grep nx
nx-libs.x86_64                              3.5.99.26-1.fc33                    @updates                                      
nxagent.x86_64                              3.5.99.26-1.fc33                    @updates                                      
nxproxy.x86_64                              3.5.99.26-1.fc33                    @updates                                       

Previously version release schedule

https://www.spinics.net/lists/fedora-package-announce/msg288622.html

* Fri Jun 19 2020 Orion Poplawski <orion@xxxxxxxx> - 3.5.99.24-1
- Update to 3.5.99.24
* Sat Feb  1 2020 Orion Poplawski <orion@xxxxxxxx> - 3.5.99.23-1
- Update to 3.5.99.23
* Wed Jan 29 2020 Fedora Release Engineering <releng@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> - 3.5.99.22-2
- Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_32_Mass_Rebuild

So I was previously running what Fedora calls 3.5.99.24.

I can try to downgrade if there is an earlier 3.5.99 on Fedora 33- will that matter?

Happy to give a go at a replacement build.

I did just note two additional behaviors- 

1. cross-session paste does *eventually* complete

-copy of text 1 in session 1
-attempt to paste in session 2
-observe session 2 window freeze
-switch to host window
-paste into host window (success)
-select and recopy in host window
-switch back to session 2- paste of text 1 had completed

So the paste took about 5 seconds

2. cross-session paste payload can be replaced in flight

-copy of text 1 in session 1
-switch to session 2
-attempt to paste (text 1 into session 2) 
-observe session 2 window freeze
-switch to another window in session 2
-select and copy text 2 (in another window in session 2)
-switch to the session 2 window attempting to complete the original paste
-note that the paste completed- but using text 2, not text 1

Thanks again!

Jonah

Well, I am wondering how you managed to reliably copy/paste images. This is something the current code does not support.

Regarding the switch to non-working: you probably have updated the nxagent package on your server. Please check what was the old version and what you have installed now. You could try to downgrade again. But please post the versions here anyway.

I am still working at a massive clipboard rework which is close to being finished (I hope...). If you are able to compile it on your own you can test it. I can assist with instructions

Hi folks,

Let me first say thank you to X2Go maintainers- I happened upon X2Go about 6 months ago when figuring out how to switch my workflow from Fedora VMs on MacOS to distinct desktop environments on Fedora. It is such a profoundly excellent tool. Thank you for your efforts.

Now- to describe a problem that just cropped up, hoping someone can help me debug.

I have been running Fedora 32 - XFCE on a Thinkpad, simultaneously running 7 distinct local X2Go sessions under 7 different host users. Each session's window resides within its own XFCE logical desktop, and I switch between them with the switch desktop hotkeys. X2Go sessions are configured to support bidirectional copy/paste, and generally it works seamlessly to copy text or images from apps in one session's window to another or to/from the host.

Last night I upgraded to Fedora 33, with the requisite updates to X2Go. Now, copy/paste is reliably broken in one area:

* from host into any session still is fine
* from session into host still is fine
* from a session into the same session still is fine
* from one session into another session no longer works

On failed pastes- where the copy was from one session and the paste is another session- when the paste recipient is a browser (Chromium, Firefox, whatever), sometimes the recipient browser tab temporarily locks up trying (and failing) to retrieve the paste material. 

All X2Go sessions are still configured for bi-directional copy-paste. 

[admin@localhost ~]$ x2goclient --version
x2go-WARNING-1> English language requested, not loading translator.
x2go-WARNING-1> English language requested, not loading translator.
4.1.2.2

[admin@localhost ~]$ x2goversion
: 3.2.0.0
: 4.1.0.3
: 4.1.0.3
: 3.2.0.0
: 4.1.0.3
: 3.5.99.26
: 4.1.0.3

Any thoughts on tracking down the issue?

Thanks again,

Jonah
