Mike#1, can you comment on the 2 dependencies?

 It mostly worked.  With x2goserver installed I can connect now with my

x2goclient and screen resizes properly. Also in Mate, System->Preferences->Hardware->Displays now works.

 However, it breaks any of the x2goserver-pyhoca and x2goserver-compat

can 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,

1. I updated the email subject to make it more clear.

2. 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

3. Software installer is the wrong tool for the job. "dpkg -i" does not work with apt repos. It also doesn't handle dependency resolution.

4. 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 -

5. To recover your system, I recommend the following: a. Run apt-get update b. Run apt-cache search libnx c. 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.

6. 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.

-Mike

 I used dpkg -i file, same as the software installer.  I did this

because 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?

Hi MIke#1,

It looks like users have to upgrade to x2goserver 4.1.0.0, currently unreleased, in order to get the new x2goserver-x2goagent package for use with nx-libs 3.5.99.1. Is that correct?

If that is true, then Robert needs to use this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~x2go/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

As of nx-libs 3.5.0, libnx-x11 is a transitional dummy package and can be safely removed.

As of nx-libs 3.6 beta, libnx-x11 no longer exists.

So run:

sudo apt-get purge libnx-x11 sudo apt-get install libnx-x11-6

Assuming you added the aforementioned nightly (heuler) PPA, you need to replace x2goagent with x2goserver-x2goagent .

You have 2 good options:

1. Clone the repo locally and build it. To do so more easily, use mock. https://github.com/ArcticaProject/nx-libs

  Oh, one other detail, found an issue that might relate to the performance

issue. Before I was using Nvidia's proprietary driver for my antique 7300GT video card. When I upgraded to 16.04 it deselected that option automatically.

  I attempt to re-select it but each time it hangs during the making

changes part and won't even let me open a details box to see on what when using synaptic, so that's another thing on the broken pile but not x2go's fault.

  I got nailed big time by another 16.04'ism.  They've apparently decided

to rename all the bind9 directories from named to bind, and change that naming convention in the apparmor profile but did not bother to actually move where the files resided, so named was unable to read it's own conf files. Fun fun fun! Overall though I do like Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS.

 The problem is this, if I attempt to edit a unicode file using uxterm

The following URL: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mikedep333/nx-libs-3.6/ Is not the URL to the repo. It is the web page / webGUI for the repo.

Actually, I take that statement about those commands back. They would probably work with this as the argument: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/mikedep333/nx-libs-3.6/fedor...

Although you would have to fill in the values of $releasever and $basearch yourself.

Still, the dnf copr enable mikedep333/nx-libs-3.6 command is what you want.

  I want to thank you for all your help.  Once I got the correct URL in

place things went much better with Fedora, dnf upgrade however did not bring the new versions in, I had to:

dnf remove libNX*

  Then re-install x2goserver and it brought all the new stuff and worked.

My mistake, you need to run this command also: sudo dnf update --allowerasing --best libNX_X11-6 It will result in the old libNX_* packages being removed.

I have updated the instructions here to include that command: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mikedep333/nx-libs-3.6/

  Have you tried rebooting the machine?  Looks like some daemons may not

be running, D-Bus service appears to not be responding.

  Seems like various components and/or packages that you may or may not

be using, are missing. Curious why the python exception as well. When python scripts fail, who knows what it's done / not done.

  I am still learning the ins and outs of fedora24, don't know if there

is a way to do a dependency check and fix whatever is broken or not.
