[X2go-dev] x2go with likewise-open (ldap) questions

[Neil W. Hunt]

Ivan,

Thanks, I really appreciate your suggestions.

I am using 3.01-08 for Ubuntu as client. This is the one that downloads by default from the debian library. I have also tried it with 3.01-04 for Windows and for Mac, but same results. I will try 3.03-13 and see if there are any differences, but I doubt it.

I changed this and now have more info. I still cannot see any differences in the login messages between the two messages. I tried attaching each log file, but the list said I needed approval to send something with attachments of 200K.

I can login locally as a LW user no problem, it shows the full gdm desktop. I am using Likewise-Open 6.0 and joined using domainjoin-gui

Have done this as well and there are no issues, perfectly successful login as a LW user.

Again, I have tried it with clients on Linux, Mac, Windows, all the same result: full GDM desktop with audio for local accounts, blank screen (but all successful messages in the log) for LW/LDAP users.

************************

BTW, as I'm fearing that if/when I get this issue resolved with the black screen showing up, that I will then have the audio problems, I will add these comments:
-I have Likewise Open setup to connect to our domain as the Default Domain, thus all of our uid's do not use the format DOMAIN\user. Before, we all used these IDs, but since we currently only have one domain, I have set LW to use the default domain and so now we can login with just "user". This also affects our directories and thus my .x2go sessions look like:
/home/local/DOMAIN/nwhunt/.x2go/C-nwhunt-51-1292422868_stDGNOME_dp32 rather than /home/local/DOMAIN/nwhunt/.x2go/C-DOMAIN\nwhunt-51-1292422868_stDGNOME_dp32
And within that directory are indeed the pulse audio files you mentioned were NOT there when you included the ~/.x2go/C-DOMAIN\userid-....
.pulse-client.conf
.pulse-cookie


I will report back if I find anything more.
