Hello x2go users, We wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year! Next year one of the next features added to x2go will be the requested "session shadowing". It'll make it possible to share an existing Desktop over x2go with one or more other users. This too will be possible with x2go Displays. Happy Holidays, The x2go developers... ___________________________________________________________ Preisknaller: WEB.DE DSL Flatrate für nur 16,99 Euro/mtl.! http://produkte.web.de/go/02/

X2GO Cluster en load balancing
by jasper van der marel 24 Dec '09

24 Dec '09

Hi, I've got a challenge writing a proposal for a client of ours. The client has around 150 simultanously logged in users and he wants to migrate to a Windows thinclient network. I looked at LTSP-Cluster and of course at X2GO. Has X2GO the same features like load-balancing the thinclients in a farm of servers ? I cannot find any documentation regarding setting up a load balanced farm with X2GO. Can someone point me in the right direction ? With kind regards, Jasper van der Marel

Failed login from MS Windows Client
by Milan Knížek 18 Dec '09

18 Dec '09

Hello, I am testing x2go to replace NoMachine's NX server (for home use). The server is Ubuntu 9.10 amd64, with x2goserver-home 3.0.1-1 Connecting from another Ubuntu on LAN worked fine. However, connecting from MS Windows XP machine at work (through ssh tunnel to pass-through http proxy) fails due to wrong password. The MS Windows client (version 3.01-2) is setup to use localhost at ssh port 1022. I have disabled any file and printer sharing and also audio tunnelling. Here is the /var/log/auth.log from server: Dec 17 14:13:21 athlon sshd[19717]: Failed password for xxx from ::1 port 37418 ssh2 Dec 17 14:13:21 athlon sshd[19717]: Failed password for xxx from ::1 port 37418 ssh2 Dec 17 14:13:21 athlon sshd[19717]: Failed password for xxx from ::1 port 37418 ssh2 The error from MS Windows client is: Wrong password! Connection failed localhost: Unable to connect D:/Documents and Settings/username/.x2go/ssh/socaskpass.nf2668 etc. .... Permission denied. Please try again. The file in that directory does not exist. I can successfully open a ssh session from cygwin using: $ ssh xxx@localhost -p1022 I tried to use the new beta version of the client, but it requires admin privileges on MS Windows computer, which I do not have. Any ideas? Regards, Milan Knizek knizek (dot) confy (at) volny (dot) cz http://www.milan-knizek.net - About linux and photography (Czech language only)

While I guess there is a reason for checking the sessions periodically, I wonder why /usr/bin/x2golistsessions_sql runs "/usr/bin/x2gopgwrapper listessionsroot $serv" as sudo, when the daemon itself runs with root privileges already. Is it just because logging the activity is wanted? Regards, Milan Knizek knizek (dot) confy (at) volny (dot) cz http://www.milan-knizek.net - About linux and photography (Czech language only)

Hi, When connecting to an Ubuntu 9.10 desktop with X2GO I don't get sound at the clientside. In the logfile I get : debug1: channel 0: new [::1] debug1: confirm forwarded-tcpip debug1: channel 0: connection failed: Connection refused debug1: connect_next: host localhost ([127.0.0.1]:4713) in progress, fd=5 Anybody got a solution ? Many thanks in advance. Jasper van der Marel

Hi, Is it possible to record audio from the x2goclient on the x2goclient ? Sound playback from server to client works, but can I also record sound ? With kind regards, Jasper van der Marel

Re: [X2go-dev] x2go and ssh-key based login
by jasper van der marel 12 Dec '09

Hi Robin, Just tweaked a little more and it works like you described it. It seems the ssh key had to many rights when transfered to the Windows desktop. I can now log in with an encrypted ssh-key by filling in the password field of the user. Many thanks for the solution.

ssh-keygen login and session shadowing
by jasper van der marel 12 Dec '09

12 Dec '09

Hi, I've installed a debian lenny machine for futher testing x2go and managed to get ldap etc running. I can do session shadowing (kcontrol with vnc) when a user logs in with username/password. But when a user logs in in a much more secure environment (altered ssh ports and only allowing ssh keybased authenication) I no longer can shadow the session. Is this a known issue ? With kind regards, Jasper van der Marel Stone-IT
