Hi Mihai,

perfect! Thanks a lot for the effort! I will test it and give feedback!

Cheers, Matt

Now that we have X2Go KDrive builds, and I have fixed up the brokenness in the Debian build metadata of X2Go Server, a normal upgrade should work just fine.

Hi Mihai,

also tested it on a Ubuntu Trusty (18.04) system. It does not work there yet!

Hi Mihai,

worked smoothly! Updated a Debian Bullseye system to the latest version. As I will from now on always pin or hold software installed from PPAs, please find my new pinning file below (Debian Bullseye).

Thanks a lot for the quick reaction!

Cheers, Matt

Hi Mihai,

agreed. Support is not needed for 18.04. This is useless effort. We are migrating anyway away from Ubuntu to Debian, as Ubuntu more and more behaves like Microsoft and forces the use of snap, etc. So, back to the roots ;-)

Old, not supported systems, can stay at old x2go versions.

Cheers, Matt

Unfortunately, X2Go Server always hard-depends upon KDrive, so any older version that will not get KDrive packages will be broken.

I can fix that (by removing KDrive support for old deb-based distro versions), but will only be able to make a new X2Go Server release next week.

On a related note, I'm pretty sure that KDrive at least compiles on 18.04, but given that 18.04 is freshly out of mainstream support, I'd rather rely on commercial support requests for providing binaries for older distros such as 18.04, if there's even any interest.
