The important life-support stuff is partitioned away from all that.

Note that by "losing our primary control system" I meant any operational downtime (sitting in a warehouse) while I load a new O.S. (not in the sub itself during a dive).
Phew, you did have me scared there for a moment!
FYI: AUVs have been using Linux as their primary command/control O.S. for years, the only competition being Windows. The old days of dedicated realtime OS's like VxWorks or custom bare metal apps are over, except for military vehicles or maybe NASA - too expensive, too difficult to maintain.
I can understand that to a degree - if the occasional loss of an unmanned vehicle is financially acceptable (because the chances of that happening are so low), compared to the savings on OS costs, then that's obviously a valid business decision. Machines can be replaced, after all.
I'd still be scared if it was a manned sub, though - but hey, I'm a "tried and true" philosophy guy - when I'm not dealing with computers, I prefer to have machinery around me that can be fixed with hammer, screwdriver, wrench and some percussive maintenance. ;-) I guess it shows that I used to volunteer as train staff and in the maintenance crew of a 1960's era railbus - that's where we held our first X2Go community events in 2012 and 2013: https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/events:start#section2012
Anyway - I'm upgrading to Mint 17.1 now, so hopefully that obviates the need to build the .deb package.
If for any reason you need to fall back to Mint 15, Mike#1 has posted a quick description of how to build the packages, and he's available for paid consultancy as well, should you need to go down that route and get stuck.
For those interested, here's a recent promo about the project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipAxZoMzFYk
Very cool. If you run X2Go in one of those, we'd love to have some pictures/screenshots and a short write-up on how you use it. That would absolutely rock to have that on our success stories page.
Kind Regards, Stefan
