Subject: nxagent crashes on Ubuntu 16.04, making x2go server unusable
Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2018 16:29:46 -0500
Package: nxagent
Version: 3.5.99.15-0~201803072246~ubuntu16.04.1
Severity: grave

I originally submitted this post for bug 1269, but as this is a somewhat different issue of greater severity, I am creating a separate bug.
Reason for grave severity: bug makes the package in question unusable, as it does the whole x2go server.

Short description:
Attempt of starting an x2go session causes the session window to briefly appear and then disappear. Server syslog shows a segfault:
kernel: [ 3899.187248] nxagent[7306]: segfault at 0 ip 0000558c9d0045fb sp 00007ffdad91c1f0 error 4 in nxagent[558c9cf39000+432000]

In my case, a routine system update (apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade) rendered a production server unusable, with no easy way to rollback the botched x2go update.
The issue did not appear before the update. I recreated the issue on clean install of a vanilla Ubuntu 16.04 server running in a VM. I use this install as a basis for the description below.

Versions - server:
x2goserver: 4.1.0.0-0~1517~ubuntu16.04.1 (this is the newest server from x2go stable PPA for Ubuntu 16.04)
nxagent:    3.5.99.15-0~201803072246~ubuntu16.04.1
uname -r:   4.4.0-116-generic
lsb_release -d: Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS

Versions - client:
x2goclient: 4.0.5.1-1 (this is the newest client from Ubuntu 16.04 repo)
uname -r:   4.13.0-32-generic
lsb_release -d: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS


Steps to reproduce:

1. Install Ubuntu 16.04 server in a VM (from ubuntu-16.04.3-server-amd64.iso downloaded from ubuntu.com).

2. Update the system (apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade) and reboot.

3. Install x2go as described on https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:repositories:ubuntu
   All commands run as root (sudo su -)
   apt-add-repository ppa:x2go/stable
   apt-get update
   apt-get install x2goserver x2goserver-xsession --no-install-recommends

4. Install minimal XFCE desktop:
   apt-get install xfwm4 xfce4-panel xfce4-settings xfce4-session xfce4-terminal xfdesktop4 xfce4-taskmanager xfce4-appfinder xfce4-artwork --no-install-recommends

5. Attempt to connect with a x2go client from another machine:
   My x2goclient version: 4.0.5.1-1

Subject: Triggered by client window maximisation
Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2018 14:45:03 +0100
This perfectly describes the problem I had with the ppa:x2go/stable version, 
both client and server on ubuntu 1604.

The crash of nxagent seems to be triggered by maximisation of the client 
window, e.g. when it is configured to use a whole display. If a static window 
size is configured, the crash happens when I move the client window. Maybe the 
unity window manager is sending some windowing events?

My workaround was to install from the ppa:x2go/saimaa repository.

Subject: nxagent crashes on Ubuntu 16.04, making x2go server unusable
Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2018 16:47:44 -0500
Good news! We have an upstream bug:
https://github.com/ArcticaProject/nx-libs/issues/677

It appears that Arctica issue is exactly what I have been experiencing.

I use KDE on two screens with different resolutions (1920x1200 and 1600x1200). X2goclient session uses only one of these displays, but the mere presence of two monitors on the client causes nxagent to crash on the server. I tested another client machine with one screen, and everything worked fine (i.e. I was able to open the session, and nxagent did not segfault). It does not matter whether I move the x2go session window, maximize it, and so on. All that matters is number of displays on the client and their relative size. (I did not test with two screens of equal size.)

As the upstream bug suggested, I installed the x2go nightly packages, as explained here:
https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:development:nightly-builds
After that, the problem went away and dual-screen setup worked fine. So I guess the bug is fixed in nightly builds.

As a side note, the number of bugs that show up in various Linux packages when using dual monitors has recently been so astounding that I am ready to give up and replace my setup with a larger single screen. Still, I can't force all my users to do so.

Adding some meta information to the bug and force-merging with 1269.

@Ionic: please close this one, when 3.5.99.16 hits X2Go stable repos.
