Subject: [ISSUE] x2goserver doesn't recognize void as a supported operating system
Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2025 04:24:19 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <gh-mailinglist-notifications-41a7ca26-5023-4802-975b-f1789d68868e-void-packages-54083@inbox.vuxu.org> (raw)

New issue by SirSputnikWiki on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/54083

Description:
### Is this a new report?

Yes

### System Info

Void 6.1.114_2 x86_64 GenuineIntel/VM notuptodate F

### Package(s) Affected

x2goserver-4.1.0.6_1

### Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?

_No response_

### Expected behaviour

Starting an xsession that can be accessed remotely

### Actual behaviour

At lines 143 and 170-179 the /etc/x2go/Xsession script checks what operating system it's running on, and errors out if it's not one it recognizes. The check if fairly simple, and the server seems to run just fine if you satisfy the second condition by, for example, creating an empty file at /etc/gentoo-release. 

For comparison, the version of the package distributed by Alpine Linux (also not supported out of the box) patches in a check for /etc/alpine-release. Void should probably do something similar, otherwise this package doesn't work without pretending to be on a different distro.

https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/blob/master/community/x2goserver/xsession-alpine-support.patch

### Steps to reproduce

1. Install x2goserver and a supported desktop environment.
2. Attempt to connect.
3. Observe the error message say 'Unknown operating system, XSession startup not implemented!'
