Package: x2goclient Version: 4.0.1.0 Hi Alex, a bug report on broken xinerama.conf files (negative display resolution!!!)... Quoting from IRC... 23:30 < dlmcob> sunweaver: seems somehow the xinerama.conf is getting destroyed (sometimes) or not created correctly 23:30 < dlmcob> if I create a "correct" file by hand, and store it in /tmp 23:30 < dlmcob> then I add these lines into x2goruncommand at line 48: 23:30 < dlmcob> cp /tmp/xinerama.conf $NX_XINERAMA_CONF 23:30 < dlmcob> chmod 444 $NX_XINERAMA_CONF 23:30 < dlmcob> i get 100% success rate for xinerama. otherwise it's about 5% of the time it works. 23:31 < dlmcob> HTH 23:31 < dlmcob> BTW, the contents of my /tmp/xinerama.conf is: 23:31 < dlmcob> 0 0 1920 1200 23:31 < dlmcob> 1920 0 1920 1200 [...] 23:57 < dlmcob> ok. further information regarding why xinerama.conf gets destroyed. here's whan ONMainWindow::slotConfigXinerama() is executing: 23:58 < dlmcob> export DISPLAY=:103;printf '-2 -645 1920 1200\\n1918 -645 1920 1200' > ~/.x2go/C-david-103-1374615901_stDmate-session_dp24/xinerama.conf 23:58 < dlmcob> notice that the geometry for the first monitor is -2 (negative two) -645. if I run this command, I get an error: 23:58 < dlmcob> printf: usage: printf [-v var] format [arguments] 23:59 < dlmcob> because printf sees -2 as an option. (besides which the -2 is probably bogus) Mike -- DAS-NETZWERKTEAM mike gabriel, herweg 7, 24357 fleckeby fon: +49 (1520) 1976 148 GnuPG Key ID 0x25771B31 mail: mike.gabriel@das-netzwerkteam.de, http://das-netzwerkteam.de freeBusy: https://mail.das-netzwerkteam.de/freebusy/m.gabriel%40das-netzwerkteam.de.xfb
