[X2Go-User] Some questions about X2go

[Walid MOGHRABI]

Hi,

Do you really need desktop sharing (aka "see what you see on your opened local session on your remote computer") or do you just need to open a session on the remote machine the Windows RDP way (contrary to the TeamViewer/VNC way) ?
If so, you'll get far better performances and comfort opening a "MATE" session instead of a "Local desktop" session from your X2Go client.

Regards,
Walid Moghrabi

Objet: [X2Go-User] Some questions about X2go 


Hi all, 
on my working PC there is running Ubuntu 16.04 with MATE Desktop (isn't the same as Ubuntu MATE, right?) and a X2go Server with Desktop Sharing extension. On my home PC with Windows 10 I have installed the X2go Client and inside it configured a session connecting to the Ubuntu host according to https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:usage:desktop-sharing . The connection is successful, but there are some issues: 


    1. The Ubuntu host's desktop is spread over two 4/3 screens. But The Windows PC only has one screen with 1680x1050 Pixels. So the display from the Ubuntu host is highly horizontally compressed, so that the texts are nearly unreadable. OK, this behaviour is documented, but is there a way to get it more readable? 
    2. If I (to solve the above issue) switch to something other than full screen mode in the session settings, the session crashes, when started. I have to close and restart the X2go Client. And then with settings set back to full screen mode the session runs again. Is there a way to avoid the crash without full screen mode? 
    3. In full screen mode I cannot see any mouse cursor. So hitting any user elements inside or on the windows inside the display from the Ubuntu host is very difficult, since they are reduced to half the width. Is there a way to see a mouse cursor? Or is this due to the compressed display? 
    4. Since mouse using is so difficult, I tried to close the windows from the Ubuntu host by pressing <Alt><F4>. But then I get a question from X2go to close the session. Is there a way to propagate key combinitions like <Alt><F4> to the remote host? 

Sincerely 
tkansgar
