The new packages do seem to help! :-) I downloaded and installed the new libxrandr2 packages (i386 and amd64) from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libxrandr and they do indeed seem to resolve this issue.
I have logged in via vnc and tested change of desktop resolution via xrandr -s. Kwin did not crash any more, nor did kded4. Very nice. I hope it works for all of you logging in via NX. (I recently gave up completely on NX and x2go since there is always something not working, like authentication for some system settings...) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libxrandr in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/985202 Title: libx11 causes kwin to crash on login (over NX protocol) Status in X.Org X server: Confirmed Status in “libxrandr” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “libxrandr” source package in Precise: Triaged Bug description: This behavior is 100% reproducible. I have freenx-server installed from here: https://launchpad.net/~freenx-team/+archive/ppa And am logging in from a remote machine with the newest nxclient from nomachine.org. What happens is that upon login or shortly thereafter, kwin crashes with a segfault. After restarting, it crashes at regular intervals as well. I reported a bug to the KDE4 tracker: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=298370 And it was marked a duplicate of a bug NOT related to NX: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=293209 Judging from the backtrace, and from the comments in bug 293209, the problem is related to Xorg, and the people at KDE seem to think that the problem might even be Ubuntu 12.04 specific. So I decided to re- report the bug here and give you pointers to the relevant KDE bugreports. We are really desperate to get Kwin working under NX and are willing to test whatever you like!
