[X2Go-User] New guy, new OBS repo and some issues

[Hans-Peter Jansen]

Hello everybody,

after noticing this wonderful project, I started with a new openSUSE Build Service repo for 
x2go today:

	
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:frispete:RemoteDesktop:x2go

since RemoteDesktop:x2go is somewhat orphaned and suffers from serious bit rot in 
some auxiliary packages. While at it, I've updated x2goclient to 4.1.0.1 already, and plan to 
update the other packages, that saw new releases, soon.

Being a heavy remote user of all kinds (ssh, vnc, rdp), this project is a perfect fit. I never 
got NX to cooperate nicely, but always thought, that the basic concepts are sound.

Anyway, I was able to install the x2goserver and x2goplasmabindings packages on a 
remote system (Leap 42.3 Virtualbox VM on a 42.3 host), and successfully connect to it 
with the x2goclient package, reaching out a nice and fresh KDE desktop.

So far for the good news. 

After login, powerdevil crashes with signal 6 (related to non existing DimDisplay action). 
This in turn results in a drkonqi crash (sig 11).
Probably related to these, the X2Go PLasma Bindings failed to remove the shut down and 
reboot actions in the K menu.

Immediately logging out results in a ksmserver crash, that effectively prevents a 
successful log out, hence the session can only be terminated the hard way from the X2Go 
client UI. 

Parallel ssh sessions to the server appear locked at some point (not immediately after 
login, but somewhat later on). 

There are some konsole related issues, resulting in a delay by 1 to 6 seconds from any 
pressed key. Interestingly, xterm doesn't suffer from this behaviour. 

Are these effects known already? Any ideas/mitigations/workarounds? 

The "unboxing" experience is very nice already. The performance is great. 

Filing these issues as bugs starts with the question, what package they relate to?

Are you guys still using a patched libssh package?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Pete
