Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger

Mihai Moldovan — 2012-05-26T04:55:07

Hi,

with the latest changes, x2goclient will also run on Mac OS X 10.4. However, it
will not be officially supported.

While x2go is generally "use at own risk", this one is "use at own risk and
don't expect it to work properly."

Mac OS 10.4 is really old and unsupported even by Apple Inc. - not even with
security updates.

The X11 server version bundled with 10.4 is also old and known to cause color
problems. The X11 server is not meant to be updated by users in an easy and
convenient way, or at all. X11 server releases for 10.5 can't be installed on 10.4.

Generally, starting an X11 application on 10.5 and higher will automatically
launch the X11 server, if installed. This is due to structural changes in X11
integration implemented by Apple. On user login, an environmental variable
called "$DISPLAY" is set and points to a UNIX socket monitored by the system
daemon launchd. Whenever something tries to connect to this socket, the X11
binary is started.

This is not true for 10.4. On those systems, $DISPLAY

Oops, don't apply that. v2 patch is incoming. Haven't seen the file extension
was missing all along...

[PATCH] Change the Makefile to not delete more temporary files than necessary.

Mihai Moldovan — 2012-05-26T03:55:51

A maxdepth of two will crush all temp files in the build directories.
Do not mess with other stuff, especially if users are building bundled
software inside a contrib/dist directory under the main tree.

[PATCH 7/7] Add support for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. It won't be officially supported though.

Mihai Moldovan — 2012-05-26T03:54:55

This patch enables a compatibility mode for Mac OS X 10.4.
Using this, interaction with the local X11 server and a remote server
works fine.

Note however, that there is one limitation: x2goclient will start one
X11 server per connection. For security reasons, this is necessary.
It will *not* clean up X11 server processes. This is left to the user.

More information about 10.4 support will be posted on the x2go-dev
mailing list (shortly).

[PATCH 0/7] Accumulated changes

Mihai Moldovan — 2012-05-26T03:52:18

Hi all,

I hereby present you a patch set of accumulated changes.

Each patch should be applied in order.

The first patch adds automatic translation processing to the x2goclient.pro file.
Developers will have to update the translation templates by hand though, as usual.
Template to Qt locales conversion is then handled by x2goclient.pro.

Patch two just includes some minor whitespace/style fixes for x2goclient.pro.

Patch three adds support for PPC compilation and adds the oddly forgotten
Info.plist directive to x2goclient.pro.

Patch four is another style fix for the copyright notice on sshmasterconnection.cpp.

Patch five changes the way the host is given to libssh based on official Qt
documents.

Patch six facilitates turning SSH packet logging on or off.

Patch seven, eventually, introduces support for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.
Together with the NX library patch, it also adds support for using nxauth, which
is mandatory on all versions of OS X.
I wonder how this stuff worked in the first place before, we sho

[PATCH] [NX] Add patch: 052_nxcomp_macos10-nxauth-location.full+lite, change nxauth search location on Mac OS X to $NX_SYSTEM/nxauth to facilitate application bundle building.

Mihai Moldovan — 2012-05-26T03:52:06

Change the nxauth location from $NX_SYSTEM/bin/nxauth to $NX_SYSTEM/nxauth on
Mac OS X. This way, nxauth can be shipped in the same directory, as, i.e.,
nxproxy in an application bundle.

On debian sid setup gnome3 and apps like iceweasel start ok now, but
after resuming the session most text and some applications (like
docky) will not be rendered, so the session becomes unusable.

I had to downgrade libcairo2 from 1.12.2-2 to 1.10.2-7 again to get
resume working.

The recently updated versions of nxserver/nxnode from nomachine show
exactly the same issue on resume.
