 WOW! I just contacted that guy to see what / how we can join efforts

Okay, just some days back I have seen a vnc-client in html5 which blew
me away. But thinking of an x2go-client in the browser actually gives me
certain feelings :-)

[X2Go-Dev] Bug#301: Execute commands given as arguments

2013-09-06 Thread Arnold Krille
Package: x2gothinclient

When automatically setting up the TCE via scripts, there is the need to execute
arbitrary commands inside the TCE, extend x2gothinclient_shell to run anything
given as arguments and fall back to $TC_SHELL when nothing is given.

[X2Go-Dev] Bug#300: Allow x2gothinclientcreate to run non-interactive

2013-09-06 Thread Arnold Krille
Package: x2gothinclient

When you want to set up your X2Go-TCE via a script (like chef or puppet), the
installer shouldn't ask questions on the command-line. So deactivate waiting
for confirmation and make apt-get use the defaults for configuring instead of
asking.

[X2Go-Dev] Provision X2Go-TCE by Opscode Chef

2013-09-05 Thread Arnold Krille
Hi all,

as I mentioned some days ago, we are using X2Go ourselves and with
some of our clients. And as I am in the process of replacing myself
with an (elaborate) shell-script, one of the puzzle pieces was to
deploy X2Go servers and X2Go-TCE-Servers via chef, our automation tool
of choice.
Some patches of that I committed to the bug-tracker (probably the wrong
component and from my not-subscribed work email).

And I just released a first version of my cookbook into the wild (aka
github): You can clone from
https://github.com/kampfschlaefer/x2go-cookbook and deploy a
x2go-tce+nfs+pxe server completely automatic...
This is the very first announcement, I ask for comments from the
x2go-dev-guys (or the x2go-admins subscribed here). If you are also
using chef, you are invited to test and comment on the cookbook.

In the future I might also add proper unit-testing to the cookbook,
deployment of x2go-servers, automatic sessions (finding these
x2go-server and configuring sessions for them) and announce it on more
lists and the chef community.

Have fun,

Arnold

[X2Go-Dev] Automating the installation of the X2Go-TCE and the problems when trying to do so

2013-08-24 Thread Arnold Krille

Hi all,

I spent most of yesterdays working hours automating the setup of a 
TCE-nfs+tftp server. We use Chef (www.opscode.com) for that. And I will 
most likely publish the cookbook/recipe soon. The main reason I started 
this is that we want to automate more and more of the setup. And thus 
ease setting up our customers systems.


Two problems I encountered:

1) The x2gothinclient_create skript assumes interactive usage and has 
no option of running non-interactive. I adopted this by removing the 
single read (so it doesn't anymore ask for confirmation and by trying 
to set the locale without running dpkg-reconfigure locales. So that 
part worked.


2) I got the client-machines (tested with a virtual machine and checked 
with an atom-based netbook) to boot of the pxe+tftp+nfs as wanted and am 
presented with x2goclient. But on the way there, the mouse and keyboard 
are lost and motivation on friday just before the weekend got a little 
low-point. Any tips where to look at what happened? Keyboard and mouse 
seem to be gone for good, I could neither move the pointer nor enter 
anything in x2goclient. Also I couldn't do Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch to a 
text-console.


I also copied the x2gothinclient_shell-skript to create an 
x2gothinclient_execute which takes arguments and just executes these 
inside the tce-chroot instead of running an interactive bash. I don't 
know whether that is something I should prepare a patch for x2go for? It 
sure is very great for example for installing the kernel inside the 
chroot from the chef-recipe. And probably for other stuff I didn't yet 
need.


Have a nice weekend,

Arnold

This only means that the chroot of the thinclients has to be in
squeeze still. This afternoon I will do some more work on the TCE
(contracted project).

So currently, for a TCE environment you install a wheezy based PXE
server and on that you install x2gothinclientmanagement from wheezy.
The x2gothinclientmanagement provides the command
x2gothinclient_create. This command will generate a squeeze based TCE
chroot.

If you want some newer Xorg in your TCE chroot feel free to
supplement  the installed packages with newer versions from
squeeze-backports.


I can happily confirm that setting up the TCE chroot with squeeze and 
then updating it to wheezy gives perfectly working thin-clients.
There are some messages due to missing write-access but nothing that 
would stop x2go-client from successfully running x2go or 
rdesktop-sessions.

 In addition to banal crashes, dropbox and friends might decide that

 I guess above related to the fact all pam sessions are closed during

I don't know how your system is configured, but here pam only unmounts
the encrypted homedir when no more apps are accessing the directory.
(I once had to track down gnome-keyring preventing the unmount.)

 We developers can now confirm this. Ubuntu users reported this
 earlier, Debian user can now also experience such a sluggishness.
 
 Reproduce on Debian:

 This will drag in a libcairo from squeeze backports that is very
 probably the cause for making some applications very slow within X2Go

 Libcairo is used in all GTK applications and is a layer between GTK

Would it help to mask/block the libcairo from squeeze-backports? Or test with

 When blocking from squeeze-backports you block out latest
 iceweasel/icedove and many other libcairo/gtk based packages as well.

iceweasel and icedove are coming not coming from squeeze-backports here I 
think. (My co-admin added some repositories so we get all the freshest (and 
untranslated:) ice*-apps.)

 For wheezy, an installation without the slow libcairo is rather unpossible.

So the problem is any version newer than that in debian stable?

  Then there must be something wrong with your setup. X2Go works on UMTS

As I said, with my very poor internet-connection it is much better then VNC to 
log into work. But on lan it feels slower. I did measure it with some X-tests 
and the results where the same for local, xdmcp and x2go.

 I cannot confirm that it is slower than VNC on a LAN but I can confirm
 that I have seen a dramatic increase in latency since the move to
 libssh.

When users feel that something is slow, its not always the throughput. Your 
explaination actually makes much more sense. It probably is the latency. That 
would also explain why it doesn't improve when I change compression levels.

 It still really feels like Nagle is enabled.  I've not 100%
 ruled out that it is not something in my environment like packet loss on
 our connections but it doesn't feel like it.  It feels exactly like
 packet coalescing as it is just the last bit of input that is badly
 delay - badly as in a second or so so  very noticeable with serious
 production impact as it leads to dangerous mistakes while editing
 documents.  I wonder if libssh does not have the ability to disable it.

So what to do with that? Is there a way to disable ssh for local lan 
connections?

[X2Go-Dev] X2Go-Future

2012-05-19 Thread Arnold Krille
Hi all,

I am having some doubts about the future of X2Go and seeking for answers.
I saw mails mentioning nx3.6 which seems a bit strange to me given that the 
next version of nomachine's nx is 4.0. And that is what makes me wonder about 
the future of x2go: The main parts of x2go (nx-agent and assorted low-level 
libraries) seem to go closed-source, at least as far as I can tell from their 
licensing documents. So what happens to X2Go?

I love the work you guys did and do. Resuming sessions while changing desktop-
geometry is real fun. Having responsive desktops over WAN where vnc just 
doesn't work, is real fun. Using locally attached usb-stick on the remote 
server is real fun. Which made me force my colleages switch from our old 
VNC-based setup to X2Go. Sadly the expirience suffered when we updated the nx-
libs from 3.4 to 3.5: On WAN-connections its still usable but on LAN X2Go 
looses in speed and latency and responsiveness against VNC. Which my co-
workers really hate.
My hope was that next nx-libs might fix this. And they probably will, but not 
for us when there is a price-tag associated with it.
So how to go on in our case? What is your future planning for X2Go? Do you 
have plans (and knowledge and manpower) to further develop the nx-libs on the 
open-source base? Do you have a promise from nomachine that the libs will go 
open-source again? Do you have plans to use a different x-protocol like vnc 
from tigervnc or turbovnc? (Combining the speed of tigervnc and the features 
of sessions and apps and storage-forwarding of x2go seems like a good idea to 
me currently.)

Thanks for your answers!

Have a nice weekend,

Arnold

 Wait, wait, sorry, that's all my fault. nx 3.6.0 was entirely my

 (i.e. yet unreleased) and decided to bump it up to 3.6.0. I should have

 Again: don't take this seriously, it was just a made-up example without
 *any* real knowledge of nomachine nx version numbers!

I didn't take your 3.6 seriuosly, but combined with my co-workers complaints 
yesterday morning and my internet-reading yesterday evening and my thoughts 
this morning, it was the trigger for bringing my thoughts to a white canvas

 This is indeed great news!!!

Well, forgive my sceptism, but if that astronaut gets his will, X is a thing
of the past. And just as systemd-dropping-lsb-compatibility is bad for
pacemaker and creates extra work, I am not yet convinced about the future
regarding graphics...

Have fun,

  Hi all,
  
  in a phone conference Heinz, Alex and I have talked about printing not
  being a very core feature of X2go Server. Esp. the x2goprint use is
  not needed on X2go Servers that are used without the print facility.
  
  Because of this I have made a proposal in X2go Git that move X2go
  client-side printing support back into a separate package
  (x2goserver-printing).
  
  Please take a look at the committed changes (x2goserver.git) and comment.

 I would agree that is makes sense to keep it as a separate feature.  I
 do hope there is no discussion of removing support as I do think X2Go
 would be woefully incomplete without it.  Thanks - John

That is debatable:-) We use X2Go totally without the need for client-side 
printing. What is the purpose of central printers and central print-servers 
and diskless thin-clients, when every user gets his own printer and then needs 
printing at his place.
But I do see the need for client-side printing for other scenarios, so I 
welcome the package split...

Have fun,

Arnold

  We integrated X2Go and Linux-VServer.  Each user has a dedicated system
  (great for things like non-repudiation) but the extra resource
  requirements are minimal.
 
 Even with RAM? I think every user needs his own OpenOffice in RAM, so
 you need much more RAM this way. But maybe I'm wrong.

Afaik shared libraries are not only shared by several apps without linking 
them static, they are also shared in memory when loaded.
That only leaves the cache/render-space of openoffice/libre-office/chrom[e|
ium]/firefox to take up lots of per-user memory.

Have fun,
