[X2Go-User] NX lib path issue prevents Xubuntu 11.10 sessions from starting

[Benjamin Shadwick]

Christoffer,

Which desktop environment are you using? (XFCE, KDE, Gnome, etc.)

Since I'm using Xubuntu, I made a script in my home directory named
xubuntu.sh that I think looks something like this (doing it from memory,
since I'm not at home):

#!/bin/bash
export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS='/etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu:/etc/xdg'
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/nx/X11
exec /usr/bin/startxfce4

I then made it executable by running 'chmod a+x xubuntu.sh'.

Finally, I opened the x2go client on my Windows machine and set my session
to run a Custom Desktop and the command to /home/<myusername>/xubuntu.sh

If you're not using XFCE/Xubuntu, then you will probably want to remove or
modify the first "export" line and replace the last line with the path to
the command that starts your desktop environment of choice.
