Re: [X2go-dev] suidperl depreciated upstream?
Hi, I'm not familiar with the details, but you can try using the Debian or Ubuntu sources. They seem to be actively maintained.

It is no longer available. Instead, use a tool specifically designed to handle changes in privileges, such as sudo. - (I am aware about the sudo vs suidperl discussion held in February this year on the mailing list.)

[X2go-dev] iPAD now has X and ssh
Hello, all. We've received a number of queries about running X2Go on an iPAD. My understanding to this point is that the absolute fundamentals are missing. However, I was recently sent the following: i-SSH for the iPad comes up well in reviews: Description A full featured SSH and Telnet emulator of VT100, VT102, VT220, ANSI, and xterm terminals integrated with a tunneled VNC client and an X server Customer Reviews Great SSH client by Mikaey0 This is definitely a great SSH client. Everything I use works as I expect it to when connecting to my box at home. Definitely nice to see a working X server for the iPad as well! Amazingly functional by Nick75985 Continues to amaze me with new functionality I discover. Never crashed on me. Incredibly full-featured and useful app. by quantumonion Edit: Wow, TextExpander support just added! If an app could give you goose bumps, iSSH would be that app. Only two suggestions come to mind. 1. TextExpander support (done!) 2. Native Dropbox support for the connection list It's possible to save the connection list to Dropbox with the export to clipboard feature, but it'd be great to offer an option to auto-sync any changes automatically. The above are just nits though. This has become one of those indispensable apps that you'd have to pry my cold dead fingers off of before I'd give it up. Given the above, what would it take to get X2Go to run on an iPAD using i-SSH? Is anyone interested if giving it a run? It's definitely outside of our skill set.

I'm not sure if we can come up with a test iPAD; it's possible. Good point about the distribution. I'd imagine it has to go through the iStore. I don't know if the iSSH fellow would be interested in bundling the X2Go client. That would save us having to deal with the iStore but also remove the possible revenue stream. I do not know if there is any free / open source mechanism within the Apple ecosystem. I'll also push back to some of the folks who are asking us and see if they have any suggestions.

Re: [X2go-dev] iPAD now has X and ssh
Hi John, thank you for posting this news. It is very interesting what already can be done with this closed platform. Though I really would like to see a real open mobile platform... I tested the MeeGo Tablet Edition on my EEEPC and it is still based on Xorg and the userland tools. I don't know what will happen to this platform in future, but it really would be a better platform to run x2goclient. Am 23.05.2011 21:47, schrieb John A.
