  • Unable to install X2Go due to SHA256 error
    1 project | /r/ManjaroLinux | 19 Jan 2023
    I'm unable to install X2Go using the Software manager due to a sha256sum error when validating dependencies. x2go is available from AUR, and depends on nx-libs, but the file seems to be corrupted. This is the repo of the file (https://github.com/ArcticaProject/nx-libs/tags), so one workaround I came up with is to manually link the nx-libs source code, but I'm unsure 1. if this is possible, 2. this is advisable, as I prefer to keep track of software with pacman/Software manager 3. how to do it.
  • Krfb works better than x11vnc/x0vncserver
    1 project | /r/kde | 12 Mar 2021
    NX libraries of X2Go are actually the most recent stable versions of NXv3 libs available. They are versioned as 3.5.0.x and include the patchset developed by X2Go and others. NoMachine dropped the NXv3 development branch completely and NXv4 was released as closed source only.

  • RDP Clients for Debian: An incomplete review
    6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 15 Mar 2022
    rdesktop lost its maintainer[1] 2 years ago, and it looks like it just recently started having activity[2] again.

    I run xfreerdp nightly builds for everything, and I rarely have issues, might be worth looking into for your crashing issue.
