Hi<br><br>What I can contribute is that I have been using X2go for more than 6 months now and very successfully. I run the server on Debian Squeeze (and Lenny before) and connect to it from Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 and Debian Squeeze (Laptops). <br>
So far I have had some issues, but it is very stable. So stable in fact that I am often working remotely on my server at home (connect over the internet via SSH). Resuming works almost always and I have to say, I am surprised how well it works. I would like to extend my congratulations and thanks for this nice piece of software to you developers! I have used Nxserver and NXfree (or freenx, I always confuse them) and that used to work much worse, with suspending and resuming spotty at best. <br>
<br>(I have to admit that this does not comment the commercial version of NXserver, which must be much better I am sure)<br><br>It is unfortunate that you have having so much trouble getting it to work, I can relate to this, as your question indicates, like "is this working ANYWHERE?" and yes it does, very well. So I am sure there must be some way that you can get it to work.<br>
But when it comes to open source, yes, the documentation can be lacking and sometimes it takes a long time and strains the patience. What I can say is that it is worth the work, since the software works very nice and I am glad that finally I can use my server at home as the unlimited (no more 2 or 3 user limit) terminal server that I have always wanted. Even audio forwarding works (on Windows, so I can hear the pulseaudio on my server session, EVEN THOUGH I have Jackd audio deamon running on it. How this can work is beyond me, a positive surprise to be sure. And filesharing works also.<br>
<br>I also understand and write German, but I understand that this mailing list should be kept in English, so I hope you can understand me. I know that my configuration is kinda simplified, as I am not using LDAP or any kind of complex user authentication mechanism. It might be easier to get it working simple, before trying to tacke these. The repository that I am using currently are these, just in case this helps:<br>
<br>deb <a href="http://x2go.obviously-nice.de/deb/" target="_blank">http://x2go.obviously-nice.de/deb/</a> lenny main<br><br>(I actually went to my open terminal session window and copy pasted it (even this works))<br><br>
As you see, I am still using the lenny repository (in case there is a newer one) and use the server <br>
<br>and here are the packages that I have currently installed:<br><br>pinentry-x2go install<br>pinentry-x2go-gtk install<br>x2goagent install<br>
x2gocdmanager install<br>x2goclient install<br>x2goclient-cli install<br>x2goclient-gtk install<br>
x2gokdebindings install<br>x2goserver install<br>x2goserver-home install<br>x2goserver-one install<br>
x2gospyglass install<br>x2gousbmount install<br><br>Just in case this helps...<br><br>as you can see I am using the x2goserver-home or one version which is simplified without all the bells of whistles of authentication, if I understand it correctly. <br>
<br>I remember one issue that I had was about Xming not running in Windows (which is the component that acts as Xserver). In my case it was not started automatically.<br><br>Another thing is my /etc/sudoers config<br><br>
<br>### X2GO section<br>%x2gousers ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/x2gopgwrapper<br><br><br>#### X2GOPRINT section<br>x2goprint ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/x2goprint<br><br><br>And I remember having an issue with that. <br>
<br>These settings might be too insecure for your taste, but it is easiest to first open things up and circle the problem wide, to see where it is located at.<br><br>Hope this helps..<br><br>Markus<br>
