Subject: KDE and Gnome sessions fail on launch, standalone apps work fine

Date: Sun, 16 Nov 2014 21:28:34 -0500

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

Package: x2goserver
Version: 4.0.1.18-3

Hi,

When I try to open a Gnome or KDE remote session, the client window opens
and close immediately. No error message appears in the "detail windows" of
the client. No logs are found on in the home of the user on the server. If
I try to open a specific app instead of a full session, x2go works fine.

The behavior seems similar to bug #671 but on CentOS 7 instead of SLES.

I haven't tried older versions, this is a new deployment to replace an
aging server.

I tried to install the nighly build but I got a RPM dependency error that I
will post as a separate bug.

Best regards,

This will be fixed in 4.0.1.19 when it is released.

   [ Mike Gabriel ]
   * New upstream version (4.0.1.19):
     - Use File::Which to detect if sshfs command is available
       before trying to mount a client-side folder.
     - Be a bit more tolerant when trying to detect if a
       desktop icon is to be removed (using regexp, not
       eq).
     - Xsession script: Prevent bash failures when sourcing external bash
       scripts beyond our scope. (Fixes: #632, #675).
     - x2gogetapps: Support scanning of sub-directories when searching for
       .desktop files. We allow to dive down one level into subdirs, we on
       purpose do not recursively dive into the complete subtree. (Fixes: #633).
     - Make man2html an optional tool. Don't fail if it is missing on the
       build system (required for openSUSE/SLES builds).
     - Fix x2goserver-xsession/Makefile on SUSE. Detect SUSE distro and create
       Xsession related directory symlinks (xinitrc.d and Xclients.d).
     - Hack for x2goserver-xsession/Makefile during SUSE builds. If
       directoy /usr/share/doc/packages/brp-check-suse is present, the build env
       is also considered to be a SUSE system.
     - Trigger Xsession code for SUSE systems (look for /etc/SUSE-brand or
       /etc/SuSE-release for SUSE system recognition). (Fixes: #671).
     - x2gosqlitewrapper.c: Fix rpmlint error: no-return-in-nonvoid-function.
       Return the exitcode of execve().
     - Fix gramma in error message (in x2goresume-session).
     - x2gocleansessions: Call x2gormforward also on terminated sessions. This
       will make sure that re-assigned ports are really available on new session
       startup.
     - x2golistsessions(_root): Only update session state in session DB if
       x2goagent's state file really exists. This addresses a problem that occurs
       when x2golistsessions gets called via an x2gobroker-agent. The
       x2golistsessions script may show session states (--all-servers) of
       sessions on other servers that have session states files on their remote
       /tmp dirs. These files are not accessible for that x2golistsessions script
       and should simply be ignored. (Fixes: #638).
     - Provide pam_namespace support for has_agent_state_file() function.
     - Fix missing session list output if state file does not exist on the
       machine that runs x2golistsessions(_root).
     - Accept more verbose "DENY" output from x2godesktopsharing.
     - Make sure that all "su"-to-user-contexts use /bin/sh for wrapping around
       the executed command (in x2gocleansessions and x2golistsessions_root).
     - Also enforce /bin/sh as shell in su command in x2goprint.
     - README.i18n: Add file that explains the translation workflow for
       this package. Thanks to Mark Pedersen-Cook for drafting this file.
     - Make SSH agent forwarding work after having reconnected via SSH and
       having resumed a session. (Fixes: #672). Thanks to Robert Siemer for
       coming up with that idea.
     - Fix cross-user X2Go Desktop Sharing after being broken by implementing
       clipboard mode feature (and probably other code changes).
     - Document session startup / resumption failures (and their reasons) in
       server-side log output.
     - Handle AD domain users gracefully when X2Go is used with SQLite DB
       backend. (Fixes: #664).
     - Improve sanitizer, use 'x2gosid' sanitizer for session IDs everywhere.
       Drop unused 'pnixusername' sanitizer in 4.0.1.x release of X2Go Server.
     - Allow usernames in session IDs of length 48 chars.
     - Start sshfs with a timeout of 30 seconds (because it never finishes if
       something is wrong with the client-side TCP socket). Also remove/unmount
       mountpoints erroneously registered sshfs mountpoints if sshfs command
       times out. Furthermore, print errors to STDERR (not STDOUT). (Fixes:
       #405).
     - Handle execution of ss command from Perl script x2golistdesktops in a way
       that not only works on Debian, but also on Fedora et al. (Fixes: #727).
     - Provide legacy support for old File::Path packages in x2godbadmin.
       (Fixes: #715).
     - Fix wrong evocation of x2gosyslog ("error" -> "err").
     - Use "undef $dbh" instead of "$dbh->disconnect()". Fixes SQLite3 issues on
       SLE 11.x.
     - Only call $dbh->sqlite_busy_timeout() if the $dbh object is capable of
       that. Works around a too-old DBD::SQLite package on SLE 11.x.
     - Legacy for applications (and X2Go scripts) that expect $SSH_CLIENT to be
       set in the X2Go session's environment. (Fixes: #644).
     - Add man page for x2gogetapps. Weave into that a security / disclaimer
       message as proposed by Stefan Baur. (Fixes: #728).
   * debian/control:
     + Add D (x2goserver): libfile-which-perl.
     + Add C (x2goserver: x2godesktopsharing (<< 3.1.1.2-0~). (Fixes: #700).

     + Add to R: x2goserver-xsession.
     + Don't mention /etc/x2go/x2gosql/sql twice (directly and with wildcard).
     + No %{_sysconfdir}/x2go/Xclients.d on SUSE systems.
     + Use %{_localstatedir} instead of %{_sharedstatedir}.
     + Use proper if... then... clauses.
     + For SUSE builds: Add to R: shadow (useradd, groupadd).
     + Replace historical "egrep" with "grep -E".
     + Systemd support for SUSE >= 12.10.
     + Set %defattr macro for every bin:package.
     + SUSE and Fedora/RHEL have different package group names.
     + Add x2goserver-rpmlintrc file to handle some rpmlint errors and warnings.
     + SUSE has openssh, but no openssh-server.
     + Add to R (x2goserver): perl-X2Go-Server.
     + Add to R (diverse): perl(Config::Simple), perl(Switch) and
       perl(Capture::Tiny).
     + Add to R (x2goserver): perl(File::BaseDir).
     + Don't hard-code /var/lib/ in $HOME path of to-be-created user

     + Add to BR: findutils.
     + For Fedora-like systems, don't make x2goserver bin:package authoritative
       for non-X2Go directories. (Fixes: #676).
     + Remove macro call %systemd_pre for Fedora/EPEL-7 builds. No such macro in
       Fedora/RHEL7. (Fixes: 698).
     + Create system user x2gouser with $HOME in /var/lib/x2go. (Fixes: #697).
     + Always set BuildRoot: parameter.
     + BuildRequires: SUSE <= 11.3 has xorg-x11, not xinit.
     + Requires (x2goserver-xsession): SUSE <= 11.3 has xorg-x11, not xinit.
     + No Bashisms in scriptlets.
     + rpmlint requires shared-mime-info at build time on SLE <= 11.3.
     + "%set_permissions" / "%verify_permissions" macros are not know in SLE <=
       11.3. Using "%run permissions" and "%verify permissions" instead.
     + On SUSE, add permissions.d/x2goserver.
     + Fix SQLite wrapper permissions (02775 -> 02755)
     + Use if then clauses for creating user/group x2goprint.
