However, there is a workaround: Put this at the end of ''/etc/bash.bashrc'' on your X2Go **Server**: <code> # --- BEGIN X2Go SSH forwarding workaround --- # Part that runs in regular SSH session # check we have an agent socket and # check we have an ~/.x2goclient directory if [ -n "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" ] && \ [ -d ~/.x2goclient ] ; then # touch the output file and set permissions # (as tight as possible) touch ~/.x2goclient/agentsocket chmod 600 ~/.x2goclient/agentsocket chown $USER ~/.x2goclient/agentsocket # write file name of agent socket into file echo $SSH_AUTH_SOCK >~/.x2goclient/agentsocket fi # Part that runs in X2Go session # check we're on an X2GoServer (x2golistsessions is in path), # check we have a DISPLAY set, and # check our client DISPLAY and SSH client IP correspond to # a running X2Go session and # check ~/.x2goclient/agent is a regular file if which x2golistsessions >/dev/null && \ [ -n "$DISPLAY" ] && \ [ -n "$(x2golistsessions | \ awk -F '|' '":"$3 == "'$DISPLAY'" && \ $5 == "R" && \ $8 == "'$(echo $SSH_CLIENT | \ awk '{print $1}')'" { print $3 }')" ] && \ [ -f ~/.x2goclient/agentsocket ] ; then # all checks passed, read content of file # (might still contain stale agent socket or garbage MIGHTBEOURAGENT=$(cat ~/.x2goclient/agentsocket) # check if it corresponds to an existing socket if [ -S "$MIGHTBEOURAGENT" ]; then # export path to agent socket export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=$MIGHTBEOURAGENT fi fi # ---- END X2Go SSH forwarding workaround ---- </file> Now, start a **regular** SSH session with Agent Forwarding enabled **first**, and leave that session running in the background. After that, start X2GoClient and connect to your session. You should now be able to use the Agent Forwarding created with your regular SSH session from inside your X2Go session. Inherent problems: - Once you close the SSH session, you will be unable to use the SSH Agent Forwarding for new connections within the X2Go session (existing connections will not be terminated, however). - If you create a new SSH session to the same server after starting the X2Go session, it will overwrite the setting. Again, existing connections will not be affected, but new connections will use the SSH Agent Forwarding set by the latest SSH connection you made, and once you close the latest SSH session, connections will fail. - If you share /home (e.g. via NFS) across different X2Go Servers, this workaround will not work reliably. There's hope that future versions of X2Go will support SSH Agent Forwarding natively, as a patch to add SSH Agent Forwarding has been submitted to the libssh maintainers in March 2016 - but we will have to wait until that patch makes it into all the major distributions. -- This mail was generated by DokuWiki at http://wiki.x2go.org/

Instead, the entire image is loaded into the RAM of the ThinClient machine. To avoid confusion, and because it now has left the "NG" state, we call it TCE-Live. The disadvantage is that your ThinClient now needs at least 1 GB of RAM (see below). - However, the huge advantage is that there no longer is a need for any high-availibility setup concerning NFS. All you need is an HTTP (HTTPS optional for later stages) or FTP server with a dedicated IP, if you want to use netbooting. It is also possible to deploy the image to the ThinClient's local storage, if present, and have it update in the background. Besides, making changes/updating the NFS-based TCE was rather finicky - with the current TCE, you build and deploy a new image every time you make a change, and you can test it on a single client without interrupting your production environment. The "local storage" feature can also be used to create a portable version of both X2Go-TCE and X2goClient for Windows, sharing the same configuration, on CD/DVD/USB media. + However, the huge advantage is that there no longer is a need for any high-availibility setup concerning NFS.

The one catch is that the live-build package in Debian/the Debian-Live project is currently looking for a new maintainer - so there is a slim chance that live-build might be removed from Debian Buster, especially if no new maintainer steps up and the live-build replacement that is currently in the works (called live-wrapper) contains all the required functionality of live-build by then. ===== ThinClient prerequisites for all variants ===== * At least 1 GB of RAM //unless// you use non-NTFS local storage, in that case, 512MB or even 256MB might work -- This mail was generated by DokuWiki at http://wiki.x2go.org/
