[X2Go-User] newbie questions and some answers

[Dave Kimble]

I think the armhf problem is that the 'trusty' repository has all the 
dependencies in it,
but it doesn't actually have x2goserver in it.

*** Could someone please check it out ***

I have downloaded the source tarball for x2goserver-4.0.1.19, and 
following INSTALL instructions, tried to build it.
But while the unpacked tarball has a folder for x2goserver-extensions 
and others,
they don't seem to have any sources in them, so the "make" does:
make[1]: Entering directory 
`/home/dk/software/x2goserver-4.0.1.19/x2goserver-extensions'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `build-arch'.
make[1]: Leaving directory 
`/home/dk/software/x2goserver-4.0.1.19/x2goserver-extensions'
and doesn't achieve anything.
