The basic setup is identical. This means - everything beyond the x2goserver-home setup is totally untestet on ubuntu (by us). The results of former tests has shown some diffferences in sudo, udev and ldap setups. Please tell us which parts of x2go you are interested in (PXE Boot/Thin Client Environment/LDAP/x2goclient-managed-mode). > Must I tweak the sshd config on Ubuntu to get the same environment as > when logging in with GDM ? I don't know how gnome is started through GDM. But if you use the same start script, you should get the same results. In a prior E-Mail on the list Paul has sent a litte script which is used in FreeNX environments. X2goclient starts gnome with the "gnome-session" command. > Can I use the load balancing features when authenicating against an > existing LDAP (RHDS) ? For the managed mode of x2goclient (including load balancing) a additional branch is needed in the LDAP tree. It's called "on" and you'll find it if you make a generic install via the x2goldap tools. Furthermore it is required that you store users in the People branch and groups inside Groups. > Will there be a webbased frontend for administering X2GO ?

Yes there are possibilities - I'll send you an email with some addresses. --heinz-m. graesing-- ______________________________________________________ GRATIS für alle WEB.DE-Nutzer: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!

X2Go Ubuntu and Gnome desktop
by jasper van der marel 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Hi, I am currently evaluating X2Go to be used as a terminalserver solution. I am running into some problems and I hope someone can help me. When using X2GO a user doesn't get the same environment (variables) as when he logs in trough GDM. So some specific settings like profiles created by Pessulus and Sabayon (kioskprofiles) will not be applied. How can I solve this ? Thanks in advance for your help. Jasper van der Marel

Ubuntu 9.10 and X2GO
by jasper van der marel 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Hi, I am implementing X2Go as a terminalserver solution for a large hospital in the Netherlands :) As they already rolling out Ubuntu desktops the X2Go implementation will be running on top of Ubuntu 9.10. I have a couple of questions regarding X2Go : Are there any major differences between a X2Go debian installation compared to a X2Go Ubuntu installation ? Must I tweak the sshd config on Ubuntu to get the same environment as when logging in with GDM ? Can I use the load balancing features when authenicating against an existing LDAP (RHDS) ? Will there be a webbased frontend for administering X2GO ? De KDE3 modules won't work in Ubuntu anymore. Maybe we can fund this... And most important, where can I get (payed) support when running into issues ? Thanks in advance. Jasper van der Marel Stone-IT

Session shadowing
by Paul van der Vlis 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Hello, Is session shadowing possible in X2go? If yes: how do I do that? I mean with session shadowing: see the desktop of somebody else, like with VNC. Met vriendelijke groet, Paul van der Vlis. -- http://www.vandervlis.nl/

x2go Single Application sudden session closing
by Paul Jaros 04 Dec '09

04 Dec '09

Dear x2go Listers I've found out about x2go at the Dornbirn Linuxday. I've installed x2goserver-home at work on a Ubuntu 8.04 server with a 2.6.24-24-generic #1 SMP - Kernel on a 64 bit machine. Ubuto 9.10 runs on the client with a 2.6.31-14-generic 32 bit machine. Using a Gnome-Session everything run's pretty smooth. The sound-forwarding is nothing short of amazing. Unfortunatly one of my co-workers insist on using a "Single Apllication"-Session. We use Eclipse 3.5.1 which is started from a "Single Application" Terminal. It works, but I have two problems: - Even without Eclipse, the Terminal get's dimmed by Compiz, which it does to all "unresponsive" Application. I don't know how 'responsiveness' is measured by Compiz. The Terminal and Eclipse of course *are* responsive. I've got a workaround though so this isn't so bad. I've changed the Compiz settings under "Effekte" -> "Fenser ein- / ausblenden" -> "Dim Unresponsive Windows" to "off" - The second problem is after some time (sometimes 15-30 Minutes, sometimes up until 2 hours) working with Eclipse the session gets closed without prompting any error. Running the x2goclient in a local terminal I see the messages: """ QProcess: Destroyed while process is still running. QProcess: Destroyed while process is still running. QProcess: Destroyed while process is still running. check command message """ I can then reopen my (now suspended) session without any problems. But it's very annoying being forced to reopen the session ever so often. I don't know how to get further information about this. I can't find any log-files about it. The output on the STDERR (STDOUT?) was the only thing I could find. On the server (Ubuntu 8.04) I got the following Versions installed x2goagent 3.4.0-3-1 x2goserver 3.0.1-2 x2goserver-home 3.0.1-1 x2goserver-one 3.0.1-1 from deb http://apt-cacher.cube.ch:3142/x2go.obviously-nice.de/deb/ lenny main On the client (Ubuntu 9.10) x2goclient 3.01-5 from deb http://apt-cacher.cube.ch:3142/x2go.obviously-nice.de/deb/ lenny main Greetings Paul

A few problems since upgrading
by Douglas Stanley 04 Dec '09

04 Dec '09

Hello List, I've been loving x2go, but recently I upgraded the server on my home machine to the latest version, and now I'm experiencing some rather annoying problems. First, ssh key based auth isn't working anymore for some reason. It still prompts me for password, even if when I click the desktop link which is supposed to be headless, it brings up the x2go client window and prompts for password. Second, the x2go client window seems to use 100% cpu as soon as the connection starts, and doesn't stop (not even if I log out of the remote session) until I close the client window (the one where you do all the configuration, not the actual window to the remote desktop). I've realized it's a problem with the server, as I have another machine that I hadn't gotten around to upgrading the server on, and it works fine. Oh, and all machines (both servers, and the client) are all running ubuntu 9.10 karmic 32bit. Thanks, Doug
