Subject: x2goagent crashes when pasting clipboard contents

Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2020 11:38:49 +0200

Package: x2goserver-x2goagent
Version: 4.1.0.4
Severity: grave

I am running two openSUSE Tumbleweed machines, both with x2goserver
4.1.0.4 (from Git commit gaef470fe) and x2goclient 4.1.2.2, and often
use X2Go in single application mode to connect between them.  Following
a Tumbleweed update on the client machine (from 20200708 to 20200724),
the X2Go connection now disconnects whenever I copy text into the
clipboard on the local machine and then paste it into the remote
machine.  The following error message appears in the system log of the
remote machine:

2020-07-28T11:16:12.479151+02:00 butterfield systemd-coredump[18451]:

The Tumbleweed update included some changes to X11/KDE packages that
broke at least one other application (most notably emacsclient) so
perhaps this is also the case here.  (Though according to the openSUSE
bug triagers, the breakage is the other application's fault.)  I am
running KDE on the local machine; I haven't tested if the problem is
reproducible with a different desktop environment.

Detailed steps to reproduce:

1. On the local machine, configure an X2Go connection to a remote
machine to launch a single application such as xfce4-terminal or
konsole, and then launch that connection.

2. On the local machine, use the mouse to select some text in a locally
running application, which will copy it to one of the clipboards.
(Alternatively, copy it to the other clipboard with Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Ins.)

3. On the local machine, switch to the remote window and paste the
contents of the clipboard by middle-clicking. (Alternatively, paste the
other clipboard with Ctrl+V or Shift+Ins.)

At this point the X2Go session will disconnect and the above-noted error
message gets written to the remote machine's system log.

Subject: Not reproducible with "heuler" packages

Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2020 10:03:52 +0200

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I'm seeing this problem with the packages I've built (using OBS) from
the Git HEAD versions of the various X2Go programs
<https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:psych0naut:x2go> but not
with X2Go's official nightly builds from
<http://packages.x2go.org/opensuse/tumbleweed/heuler/>.  This is
strange because AFAIK both sets of packages should be built from the
same sources.  As a workaround I can use the official packages for now,
though this might not be a long-term solution as the official package
repository has historically had a lot of problems with missing packages
for openSUSE (see Bugs 1358, 1360, 1403, 1427, 1491, etc.).

I've just upgraded the heuler packages of nx-libs, libXcompshad3,
libXcomp3, nxproxy, libNX_X11, and nxagent to the git20200919.4102
versions and the problem is reproducible for these packages now.

Is there any workaround for this problem? Copy and paste is one of my main actions for working...

sorry for the loooong delay in responding to this.

I have bumped nx-libs in X2Go Git to latest commit hash as currently  
is the status in the Arctica Project's nx-libs (where nx-libs  
maintenance takes place).

Do you still see the problem?

Actually, some time ago I built x2goserver from commit c2182644 (from 
2020-02-28) and nx-libs from commit d20cb44e8 (from 2020-09-23) on 
Ulrich Sibiller's repository at 
<https://github.com/uli42/nx-libs/tree/pr/clipboard_gathering2020>, and 
I haven't encountered the clipboard bug since then.

I can try compiling the latest (official) heads for x2goserver and 
nx-libs and see if the problem persists.

Regards,
Tristan

Hi Tristan,

Can you confirm this is no longer an issue? Can we close this bug?

We are currently migrating our bugtracker form debbugs to gitlab and are 
wondering which bugs are truly still open and need to be carryied over.

Kind Regards,
Stefan Baur
