Description Davide Repetto 2017-01-29 04:28:17 UTC
Description of problem:
=======================
I'm experiencing a *lot* of flashes and transient display artifacts and corruption. Sometimes they are temporary, sometimes they stick on the screen.
The artifacts vary widely with different settings of "connection speed" and "Compression Method". And the situation gets progressively worse with slower connection speeds; up to the point that entire parts of the screen won't stop flashing corrupted content  (bitmaps, QT apps and Virtual Machine desktops are all affected).
 
I'm connecting to machines with mate and there I use virtualbox where the artifacts are particularly evident. But I also get corruption on the top mate-panel in the notification applet.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
x2goclient-4.0.5.2-1.fc25.x86_64

P.S. As a workaround I'm currently connecting to the machines via tigervnc or x11vnc.

How reproducible:
=================
Consistently from/to different machines.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2017-11-16 19:43:41 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '25'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

I would strongly encourage you to bring this up with the X2Go project directly if you haven't already.  I'm just packaging the code and have no time to investigate this myself.

Comment 6 Ben Cotton 2020-05-26 15:14:22 UTC
Fedora 30 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2020-05-26. Fedora 30 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
