[X2Go-User] x2go client side printing
Hi, I'm running the latest x2go server on Debian 7 Wheezy. I've got the x2go-printing package installed, as well as the cups-x2go package. Browsing is enabled in cupsd.conf. 'Client side printing support' is enabled in the client. And I've restarted the cups server, and logged out and back in after installing the print packages. But my printer is not appearing in MATE's list of printers. Is there something more I need to do? This is operating over a vpn, so there is no firewall involved. And sound works fine. Thanks for any assistance. Steve Bergman Oklahoma City, OK. USA ___ x2go-user mailing list x2go-user@lists.x2go.org http://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-user
[X2Go-User] x2go client side printing
Hallo Guys! I would like to ask if anyone managed to get client-side printing work on an ubuntu 14.04 powered x2go server. On my installation everything seems fine. In the syslog i can only find one error message, that x2go print could not process the print file.

I was expecting the printers to be magically visible via CUPS's browsing protocol or something. But I like the way that it is done in X2GO, with the printer having a fixed name on the server. We have some cobol apps that don't understand CUPS, and need a static name hard-coded into a config file. We would appreciate it if you could describe your deployment story on a wiki page linked from here: I'll write something up. I'm actually pretty proud of this site. We've been doing all our business desktops remote to a central Linux Gnome 2 desktop server since the Fedora Core 3 days. We started out with VNC over a single T1. In retrospect, I can't believe that my users didn't lynch me for that, but it was the best I new how to do at the time. I soon found FreeNX. And even after all these years, I'm still amazed at the speed of NX's protocols. PS: I love MATE too. Mike#1 is a Debian Developer and a MATE developer, he helped get MATE into the Debian repos. We just moved to a new 20 core Xeon E5-2690 v2, 256GB ram, 6 drive RAID 10 box using the WD 15k rpm SAS drives. And I'm just delighted with everything. (Way overkill for 100 users, and the best present I ever got! ;-) But we'll be keeping it for 7 years.) Debian 7, MATE 1.8, X2GO. Everything is just *perfect*. I can't think of anything more I could ask for. After my search for a suitable DE for this new server, I was *so* thankful for MATE that I made a donation, and then turned around and made another. And I'm not a frequent donator to anything. But you and the MATE guys absolutely saved my bacon. No other combination would have been even remotely acceptable. I'll definitely be checking out the Floss Weekly appearance. I'm always interested in anything about MATE and X2GO. -Steve ___ x2go-user mailing list x2go-user@lists.x2go.org http://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-user

Install a fresh machine as X2Go Server (e.g. with MATE). 2. Upgrade to X2Go Server from the nightly builds 3. Install mTelePlayer server-side (NEWEST stuff): apt-get install mteleplayer 4. Install PyHoca-GUI from the nightly builds on your Linux client: apt-get install pyhoca-gui 5. Install the client-side part of mTelePlayer: apt-get install mteleplayer-clientside Open a (not too large, we are working on performance) video file (not a video on a website, a real video file!) inside an X2Go session with mTelePlayer and be happy...

I have managers who receive multimedia job interviews from prospective employees as embedded YouTube videos on applicant broker sites, where the applicant gives his or her sales pitch for themselves. Fullscreen HD isn't necessary, as it's a job application and not a Star Wars movie. Good performance on just the standard size YouTube video should be fine for most business use, I should think. But the more efficient the better. I think we pay around 10x more for 10mbit than our employees pay for 55mbit cable in their homes. It's very nice to see this kind of a push forward in X2GO development. FreeNX was fantastic. But it was at about the same place when I left it as it was so many years ago when I first deployed it. NX really should be a huge priority for the OSS community. But for years and years, it's remained the greatest killer app that no one knows about. And I've never understood that. BTW, did you think it was odd that Keith indicated at Debconf that he used ssh -C -X over the WAN and was satisfied with it? I tried bringing up MATE over an ssh connection last night, and ssh -C -X was just as excruciatingly slow as I remembered it being. Keith was the author of the LBX (low bandwidth X) many years ago. And he wrote up the first report I ever read informing us that the real problem with X over a WAN connection isn't bandwidth. It's latency. And he explained about all the round trips. He felt he could eliminate 90% of them, IIRC. About that time I tried remote X over an external modem so that I could see. It was painful to watch all those requests and responses ping-pong back and forth on the modem lights. I expected Keith to be really excited about NX's solution to that problem. -Steve ___ x2go-user mailing list x2go-user@lists.x2go.org http://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-user

Hey Bernhard, you've posted about this before, and there was a bit of discussion, a discovered and now fixed bug (#702), as well as another thread. Could it be that you did not receive the replies? Looking at the list of subscribers, it seems you have subscribed to x2go-user, but not with the address you are currently using to post, so maybe everything went to the digital nirvana on your end?

Especially, for a well-tested workaround, see my post http://lists.x2go.org/pipermail/x2go-user/2014-December/002719.html which references my old post http://lists.x2go.org/pipermail/x2go-dev/2011-December/003137.html And let me repeat my offer: We'be been using this approach with our X2Go-based security solution ever since, and even wrote a (commercial) installer to automate all these steps.

The problem is that the print files cannot be copied to the sshfs-mounted print spool mount point at /tmp/.x2go-$user/spool/tmp/ ($spooltmp). We have received reports where someone says that CUPS remounts /tmp on processing print jobs. I could not confirm that with my running setups. However, I hope this gives you some help in debugging and tracking down the issue. Digging deeper... The cups.service file for CUPS in Debian jessie is this: """ [Unit] Description=CUPS Printing Service Documentation=man:cupsd(8) man:cupsd.conf(5) Requires=cups.socket [Service] ExecStart=/usr/sbin/cupsd -f PrivateTmp=true [Install] Also=cups.socket cups.path WantedBy=printer.target """ -> Maybe the PrivateTmp causes your issue...

They can use one generic PDF printer driver like CUPS-PDF or CUPS-X2GO. Specifying the printer on the CUPS server is only neccessary if you don't want to go the PDF way (for example, because the CUPS driver for a particular printer has special features that you want to use, which cannot be set by printing to PDF - but that's a problem the current implementation also has, AFAIU). > I think, that the current concept of remote printing is quite ok > in these respects: > > o create a printable file on the server-side that can be handled > by all sorts of clients o print that file on the client with the > hardware/printer-drivers of the client Dude, that's exactly what my solution does, too.

Use a port forwarding, transfer the PDF as a bitstream, pipe that into a local file on the client, if neccessary (neccessary == your PDF-to-printer tool on the client can't handle a bitstream), convert PDF data to a format suitable for the windows printer driver. SumatraPDF is a GPL'ed PDF viewer that I've been using fo years now, for this exact purpose. Due to the lack of tunneling in X2GoClient, I'm using Redmon to catch the bitstream and convert it to a temporary file. But since both SumatraPDF and X2GoClient are GPL, it should be possible to integrate the relevant parts of SumatraPDF into X2GoClient, at least for the windows build. (For Linux and Mac, I'm assuming that dumping PDF data into the local CUPS will automagically trigger the required steps). That way, we could probably even eliminate the step with the temporary file, and also add compression to further accelerate the transfer of the printjob (I've piped print jobs through gzip, bzip2 and xz before, the speed improvement can be pretty surprising. A PCL print job that would take 6 minutes to transfer went down to 1 minute with bzip2.) So, in short, I'd like to see (== have wishlist bugs for) two things in X2GoClient: 1) An option to be able to add arbitrary portforwardings to a session, like in PuTTY. This would probably be handy for so much more than just printing. 2) An integrated, GPL-based PDF viewer that is stripped down to "grab bitstream, convert it to printable file for the locally installed printer driver". - -Stefan - -- BAUR-ITCS UG (haftungsbeschränkt) Geschäftsführer: Stefan Baur Eichenäckerweg 10, 89081 Ulm | Registergericht Ulm, HRB 724364 Fon/Fax 0731 40 34 66-36/-35 | USt-IdNr.: DE268653243 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (MingW32) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJUsO5LAAoJEG7d9BjNvlEZESIH/0EcUlaPt+NfQcKSyg1WBUxr uh6smXv6cvkl1FN4ct4/5ZAtjIkcAdw/FvtRv3/qbuJGkDnqQtdux/g9K/BaZJLj sKpsBgHeYyfFJZSP/vtbXv/owbMgBN3ND12eKBxRmm2OXFsPNQUF9IeRRpQw3EpW of3uG0g6LUvbAto8s3BDdU0gw7TNlBHkf2LCXGKl7Avd2PKDWkW+a/qd2exsUZvL Yae2GmhezNeMdx9u9kt25ky11X2zZPtHOo7wqOjvp7G/UhhZiQYggKNqYNxE8fnQ 3s8CAv4z0wqKLdoKz77WL40jjTSNVi5TdUHqG6yIKzC4iNTA0QOcORt8sQrw4I8= =pNCy -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ x2go-user mailing list x2go-user@lists.x2go.org http://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-user

Ack. Not feasible for X2Go Client in portable mode. Unix system don't use lpr/lpd by default anymore (only ipp://), so this has to be handled, as well. Also, as a sysadmin for Linux, I probably don't want lpd listening on my X2Go Client system.

Please add those wishlist bugs. Lift this discussion to x2go-dev ML and let's get feedback from others. At the end someone has to modify the code as you propose... (and I am not convinced that the gain of this change will be worth the hassle of redesigning the printing stuff completely inside X2Go).

Re: [X2Go-User] x2go client side printing
Thank you for help and your gentle offer. Yet I would like to get x2go work out of the box. especially as our users own different platforms (linux, windows, mac).

Hi Bernhard,

I understand that.
After research on cups in ubuntu 14.04 I found out that I had to install
the cups-bsd compatibility package. Now the error log changed:
Well... I just checked the content of the cups-bsd package and it
seems absolutely unrelated to X2Go's client-side printing mech.
The only thing that might be relevant is the list of dependencies:
"""
libc6 (>= 2.4), libcups2 (>= 1.4.0), debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0,
cups-client (= 1.5.3-5+deb7u4), update-inetd, cups-common
""" -> on Debian jessie
Could you check /var/log/dpkg.log for other packages that got pulled
in with the installation of cups-bsd? If you are right that a package
has been missing, we need to add it as a dependency for cups-x2go
and/or x2goserver-printing.
excerpt from the syslog:
Jan 12 18:33:40 eaustria /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-x2go[1874]: Call to

bmayr-55-1421082562_stRPUBLISHED_dp24_20-bmayr-cupsjob1874.pdf.title
In the above log message I count command (x2goprint) plus four
arguments, right?
Jan 12 18:33:40 eaustria /usr/bin/x2goprint.orig[1903]: ERROR: x2goprint
was called with a wrong number of cmd line args, x2goprint exits now!
What should be the right number of arguments and how can I change them?
The code that triggers the error message is this:
elsif (scalar(@ARGV) != 4)
{
syslog('err', "ERROR: x2goprint was called with a wrong number of
cmd line args, x2goprint exits now!");
print { \*STDERR } "ERROR: Usage:\nx2goprint user session file
titleFile\nx2goprint user\n";
exit 1;
}
I see that not x2goprint is called, but x2goprint.orig. Did you change
anything in that script? Did you use a wrapper?
Please get everything back in place and use the default installation
of x2goserver-printing for testing or fix the test setup (the wrapper
script you use).
You can also enable debugging for x2goserver-printing in
/etc/x2go/x2goserver.conf. That should show you how x2goprint(.orig)
gets launched, including the used cmdline options.
Mike
