<div>won't work on Windows.</div><div><br></div><div>Linux Containers (LXC) has been part of the linux kernel for quite a while now. Using LXC on Ubuntu</div><div>I can install LXC containers running other Linux distro's very easily:</div>
<div><br></div><div> sudo lxc-create -t centos -n my_centos</div><div><br></div><div>for instance would create a Centos container with a name "my_centos"</div><div><br></div><div>My idea/proposal is not for Ubuntu since the x2go plugin already exists for it.</div>
<div><br></div><div>My idea is for all other Distro's that support LXC (I believe most do).. an Ubuntu LXC container could be</div><div>created by this command:</div><div><br></div><div>as root:</div><div><br></div><div>
$ lxc-create -t ubuntu -n my_x2go</div><div><br></div><div>then start the container:</div><div><br></div><div>$ lxc-start -n my_x2go</div><div><br></div><div>then loging to lxc (not sure what the default login on another distro is but on ubuntu</div>
<div>its "ubuntu" and "ubuntu".</div><div><br></div><div>At that point you would be at the LXC container's ubuntu command line prompt and</div><div>could proceed with installing firefox, the x2go firefox .deb plugin etc etc.</div>
<div><br></div><div>After that everyone would have an x2go plugin enabled web browser available within a container on their system.</div><div><br></div><div>Because LXC doesn't use HW virtualization but "process" isolation and LXC shares the "host" OS kernel... LXC</div>
<div>is very fast and doesn't use up any of your PC's CPU core's like a virtualbox or kvm VM would just to run this.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, I am pretty certain this would work quite well for people using other than Ubuntu assuming the plugin</div>
<div>on Ubuntu works as it used to.</div><div><br></div><div>I'd be glad to help someone interested in trying this on some other distro if they'd like to contact me directly.</div><div><br></div><div>If it does work as expected then a plugin solution process could be to produce an LXC container for each distro</div>
<div>that supports LXC then just copy that file up to the x2go wiki for later download and use by others as it would</div><div>be pre-configured in a sense for use except they'd still have to start the container on thier system, login and</div>
<div>change any of the plugin config files (index.html etc) to match their needs.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, just wanted to throw this idea out there.</div><div><br></div><div>Brian</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>

Is there a plan to reimplement the Webbrowser Plugin for x2go?<br>
The Wiki says "Note: the current plugin does not yet support Firefox<br>
4.x." Is there a plan for a Plugin for FF 4.x ?<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
The wiki page desperately needs an update.<br>
<br>
The x2goplugin is available as .deb package for Debian and Ubuntu.<br>
<br>
On your webserver you can install x2goplugin-provider. The package contains a little example that shows how to configure a webpage, so that the x2goplugin gets launched once the webpage is visited.<br>
<br>
The x2goplugin package has to be installed on the systems from where the browser connects to the x2goplugin-provider site.<br>
