No mesg call at all on that machine either in my privite initialization

files or in /etc/profile and /etc/profile.d/* files. I do see it .history so something is calling it but hell if I can figure out what.

  I just upgraded to nightly build and it is horribly broken on Ubuntu Wily.

When I try to connect to a remote site I get:

  Connection failed. mesg: ttyname failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device

  I can no longer connect to anything.

Please

grep 'mesg' ~/.* grep -R 'mesg' /etc/

on the remote machine. If there is an mesg call not guarded by tty -s, that's broken. Question then is: was this call added by you, or is this a bug in the Ubuntu files themselves?

What you saw is a side-effect of switching to login shells by default.

  I was logged into the wrong account.  Found it, got it working, but

tried adaptive with 7 worked horribly for me, 1080p stuttered horridly even on a small window and a big window was 2-3 frames per second. But something appears terribly wrong with my network connection right now, youtube is buffering forever. So need to troubleshoot that before I can make any good comparisons.

Try grepping the entirety of /etc.

Wait... you see it in ~/.history? Hum, normally only interactive commands end up there - i.e. "real user input".

There must be something in ~/.profile, ~/.bash*, /etc/profile, /etc/profile.d/*, /etc/bash*

My system (Debian) does not have it.

  No it was me, in .profile, just was looking at wrong account.

  Right now setting it back to jpeg-16m which I formerly had working well

isn't working good, but also Youtube isn't even loading video properly, some network issue but it doesn't seem to be between me and my co-lo but rather somewhere between co-lo and youtube, yet I can ping google's name servers and get just a few ms time.

Please tell me where. :)

I want to know whether the default files Ubuntu ship are broken or that's something you added not knowing better.

If it's the former, I'll need to make a downstream bug report. In the latter case, change that to "tty -s && mesg ..."

Adaptive isn't an all-new option, it's been around in NX for a long time, X2Go Client just never supported it. It seems to be defaulting to JPEG, with a fallback to lossless encoding (PNG, maybe?) if there are at most 10 unique pixel values in the image.

I'd estimate it to have similar behavior to JPEG, especially for videos (after all the video screen is one big image and it's very unlikely to have only 10 distinct pixel values.)
