X2go using ARM-based clients?
by Jo-Erlend Schinstad 04 Jan '10

Is X2Go client ported to ARM for Debian and Ubuntu? That'd be neat! :) Thanks, Jo-Erlend

hello all, first thank you for the answers and encouragement, we (my cameroonian friends and i) are still struugling to build y2to network and it works, but... i work with pcengines.ch alix board (www.pcengines.ch) as pxe client with a x2go-home (ubuntu 9.10 without ldap). it works until the graphics and it stops. the lcd monitor shows frequence fH 89 khz (red) frequence fV 59.8 hz and the fH is written in red, i suppose the frequency is to high i run puppy on the client and i have xwindow, so i copy the xorg.conf file to /opt/thinclient.../etcX11/xorg.conf but the graphics does not come at all i copy than the xorg.conf from the virtual machine (i send it as attach) and it works, but... the graphic from the browser are not coming well when i put "verbindung" on lan, i get some pictures (for example google start page with blue turkis colour. one person ask me to to make a screenshot, but ... o the screen shot it is "normal" (no turkis colour). i ask www.pcengines.ch and i recieve a documentation, (i send it as attach), i test it, but it was not working, may be i made a mistake, i test many configuration, but no success. i had a similar problem with ltsp and i had to put in lts.conf X_MODE_0 = 1024x768 i am looking now for a long if there is such a file in x2go, i did not find, so i want to configure a client, where can i put configuration i want? ok after many tests, i give up and hope somebody can help us warm salutations (if somebody would like to have sun, just mail us, we have sun, warm!!!! michel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ # xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file) # # This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using # values from the debconf database. # # Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page. # (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.) # # This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only* # if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg # package. # # If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated # again, run the following command: # sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg # inserted : 09Sep2009 12:46/pa config/hal could not iniitialize context ...

GPG key missing
by John A. Sullivan III 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

Hello, all. I'm not a great expert at using gpg so I'm simply following the instructions on the X2Go web site. It seems I cannot retrieve the key: root@vdbase:/dev# gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys C509840B96F89133 gpg: requesting key 96F89133 from hkp server wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net gpg: keyserver timed out gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error If I go to wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net and search for the key, it says it cannot find it. What am I doing wrong? Thanks - John

X2Go + VServer problem
by John A. Sullivan III 29 Dec '09

29 Dec '09

Oops! Just hit a big problem. I'm trying to install X2GoServer-One into a VServer running Ubuntu Karmic. We have done this successfully in the past with Hardy. The combination of X2Go and VServer offers incredible potential - in our case much greater than with hypervisor style virtualization. However, we are hitting a major dependency problem in Karmic. In VServer, we are not using any of the hardware directly. In the past, we set the xorg.conf driver to dummy. However, Karmic is behaving differently. When installing xserver-xorg, it insists on writing to /proc/mtrr which is not allowed in a vserver for security reasons. We spent two days doing it but have successfully installed KDE and Gnome without having to install xserver-xorg. The problem is that X2Go is insisting on xserver-xorg as a dependency. This may be indirect as I see it is also asking for xinit and Karmic sets xserver-xorg as a dependency for xinit. Is there a way to install without this dependency on xserver-xorg? This is a critical problem for us. Thanks - John

Thanks - John > Hello John, both are metapackages. x2goserver-one will configure x2goserver to use a sqlight database instead of postgresqql. So with the added sudo entries a installation without user interaction is possible. x2goserver-home is a metapackage containing all modifications needed for ubuntu - at the moment there are none. In the past we've changed the whole project to keep compatible to ubuntu. This had some side effects on the main project we'll don't wan't to happen again. Both packages are installing a single server setup, which fits perfectly in virtual machines. best regards, Heinz ___________________________________________________________ Preisknaller: WEB.DE DSL Flatrate für nur 16,99 Euro/mtl.! http://produkte.web.de/go/02/

Re: [X2go-dev] X2GO Cluster en load balancing
by Heinz-M. Graesing 27 Dec '09

27 Dec '09

Hello Jasper, you'll need to have an working x2go LDAP installation to use load balancing. All working servers are added via the ldap.addserver command - for example ldap.addserver x2goserver 192.168.0.250. Every Server added this way can be requested by x2goclient, which will choose the one with the lowest numbers of users. It is possible to enter a "ratio" to each server to prefer servers with more power (it's done inside the ON branch of the LDAP Tree).

Home versus one
by John A. Sullivan III 27 Dec '09

27 Dec '09

Hello, all. We are eagerly anticipating installing X2Go in our CentOS / Ubuntu Karmic VServer environment in this coming week. We are evaluating our X2Go options and are a little unclear about the exact differences between X2GoServer-Home and X2GoServer-One. Could someone please explain the difference? Thanks - John

X2GO Thinclient enviroment setup
by jasper van der marel 24 Dec '09

24 Dec '09

Hi, I followed both manuals (linux4afrika and the x2go manual) for setting up an thinclient enviroment. I can boot a thinclient and the thinclient sees the ldapusers but the user can not login. When a user tries to login I get brief moment a blank screen and the user returns to the menu. When I try to use the x2go client on the server itself I can login with username//password but I cannot login when I try to use the LDAP option in the client. What went wrong ? Thanks in advance, Jasper van der Marel
