description |
The X server used by FreeNX and X2Go does not support the IDLETIME counter. This eventually leads to a NULL pointer dereference by gnome-session due to a missing parameter check in gnome_idle_monitor_get_idletime. This renders GNOME Flashback unusable via FreeNX/X2Go in Trusty.
Utopic and newer are not affected and the patch is not applicable as the GnomeIdleMonitor implementation was rewritten. Saucy is also affected but is EOL, however I would like to fix this in Trusty as the patch is tiny and IMO obviously correct.
This and bug #1251281 are the only bugs preventing GNOME Flashback being used via FreeNX/X2Go in Trusty; and the latter has an easy workaround (divert the acceleration-check helper and replace it with /bin/true) and may be fixed properly soon.
I would be happy to prepare a debdiff and fill out the SRU template if a sponsor agrees that the patch is SRUable.

SRU justification:
[Impact]
* The NX server (and derivatives e.g. FreeNX, X2Go) and Xvnc server (and derivatives e.g. tightvncserver, xrdp) do not support the IDLETIME counter. Violating the assumption that this is available leads to gnome-session (in trusty) or unity-settings-daemon (in utopic) crashing when trying to set up an idle monitor.
* This bug renders GNOME Flashback unusable on the mentioned X servers. Per the justification in bug 1251281, these collectively affect quite a few users, particularly on the LTS which tends to be chosen when setting up a terminal server.
* The proposed patch adds missing precondition checks to gnome_idle_monitor_get_idletime, avoiding the crash. Other public entry points to the idle monitor library already have similar checks.
[Test Case]
* Install gnome-session-flashback, tightvncserver, and vncviewer.
* If bug 1251281 is not fixed in -updates yet: install gnome-session-bin from -proposed (needed for --disable-acceleration-check).
* Create ~/.vnc/xstartup with the following content (3 lines):
#!/bin/sh
export STARTUP="gnome-session --session=gnome-flashback --disable-acceleration-check"
exec /etc/X11/Xsession
* Make it executable: chmod +x ~/.vnc/xstartup
* Log out from the desktop, log in on a tty, and run: vncserver :1
* Log in to the desktop as a guest, and run: vncviewer :1
Expected results: a GNOME Flashback VNC session is started.
Actual results:
- trusty: gnome-session crashes on startup.
- utopic: gnome-session starts, but unity-settings-daemon crashes, so gnome-session gives up shortly after (because it's a required component).
[Regression Potential]
* The patch was accepted in unity-settings-daemon for vivid and there were no regression reports so far.
* There should be no changes observed under a conventional local (Xorg) session.
[Other Info]
* Packages for testing are available in ppa:rtandy/flashback. So far at least one user reported success using those packages in comment 68 on bug 1251281.
