keyboard not working quite right in gtk client...
by Douglas M. Stanley 13 Sep '09

13 Sep '09

Hello list, I appologize ahead of time if this has already been brought up, but I couldn't find anything about this yet. I recently set up x2go in a xen guest, and when I try to connect to it with the gtk client, the keyboard isn't right. Everything seems to work, except the arrow keys. If I turn numlock on/off, then the arrows on the keypad seem to work, but not the normal arrow keys. I've tried everything I can think of to set the keyboard both on the client and on the actual host. Everything is set to 105key qwerty US, but the arrow keys still don't work. The maemo client using the directional pad seemed to work fine simulating the arrow keys, so I'm not sure if it would work with the QT client or not as I haven't tried that client yet. Anyone else run into this issue yet? It may very well be due to the machine running under xen, so I'm not sure if anyone else is doing something similar or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Doug

Not sure if that interests you. I like Debian, because it has security support for much more applications then Ubuntu. And because I like the Debian community a bit more then the Ubuntu-community. > There is also a forum that is quite active, but it is German and I > only speak english and a little french - from Canada.

And I think this is strange when there is a brand-new X2go version, not even an announcement for the new version. I speak German, no problem for me, but I think it's not a good idea to have a German list, because there are many people who do not understand German, and all IT-people do speak some English. Further, I don't like forums. Best would be a mailinglist with integrated forum, but I don't know software what can do that...

x2goclient-cli single application problem
by Brian Moss 27 May '09

27 May '09

Hello all, I have been experimenting with the command line x2go client, x2goclient-cli, and have had great success except in one area. I am having difficulties getting the same results with the CLI client as I have with the Qt client when launching single applications. When using the Qt client the single application appears part of the local desktop, exactly how 'ssh -Y' appears. However when using the CLI client the application loads in a separate x2go window, and the single application does not have it's own window controls. When looking at the session manager - the dialog box that appears when you try and connect with a user that already has an active connection - I can see that the session type for the Qt client is 'Single Application' and for the CLI client it is desktop. The command I am executing is: x2goclient-cli --user mark --server instance_name.compute-1.amazonaws.com--command iceweasel --ssh-key ssh-keys/mark --geometry 800x600 --session-type unix-application I specify the session-type to be 'unix-application', which is by default 'unix-kde'. I found 'unix-application' in the help information for nxproxy. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks Brian

Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,255)
by Paul van der Vlis 23 May '09

23 May '09

Hello, I did a PXEboot install using this document: http://www.x2go.org/fileadmin/doc/de.installation.x2go.pdf After installation the thinclient does not start correct, I get an kernel panic: "Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,255)". Can somebody help me with this problem? No problem to mount /opt/x2gothinclient/ from the client over NFS. So the NFS server works fine I think. I followed the manual and did not see problems. I will add some little points on the manual at the end of this mail, but this have nothing to do with my question. With regards, Paul van der Vlis. ----------------------- In the document I see: # vi /opt/x2gothinclient/etc/network/interfaces: This is wrong, the ":" is the problem. In my /opt/x2gothinclient/etc/apt/sources.list there ia s link to the x2go repository and the normal Debian repository, maybe good to add the security repository? I got an error about the public key of http://x2go.obviously-nice.de in the chroot. Maybe good to add the key. While installing the kernel I got a question about initrd: ------------ You are attempting to install an initrd kernel image (version 2.6.26-2-486). This will not work unless the boot loader is configured to use an initrd. An initrd image is a kernel image that expects to use an INITial Ram Disk to mount a minimal root file system into RAM and use that for booting. The boot loader must be configured to use such images and the system will not boot until this is done. This message will appear for any new kernel installation unless the following is added to /etc/kernel-img.conf: "do_initrd = Yes" Abort initrd kernel image installation? Yes/No --------------- "Yes" was the default, I choosed "no", and did later: echo "do_initrd = Yes" >> /etc/kernel-img.conf To test this behavour purge linux-image-2.6.26-2-486 in the chroot and install it again. While configuering atftp I became this error: unrecognized option `--mcastport' Seems that the "-" of "--mcast-port" was removed while copying from PDF. It is not /etc/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf but /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf Sometimes you use 192.168.0 and sometimes 192.168.1, but you use a netmask of 255.255.255.0. Better te be consequent. Starting NFS gives errors about "subtree_check", /opt/x2gothinclient/etc/default/x2gothinclient gives many options, I don't use LDAP or PGP-cards. I've removed --pgp-card and --ldap= I changed "de" to "nl" and remove one of the two --add-to-known-hosts. I would like a link to a manual of x2goclient, or "x2goclient --help", or a man-page. X2goclient gives errors; ------- paul@server:~$ x2goclient --help Can't load translator (:/x2goclient_nl_nl) ! Can't load translator (:/qt_nl_NL) ! Usage: x2goclient [Options] Options: --helpÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â show this message --help-packÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â show available pack methods (..) --------- With regards, Paul van der Vlis. -- http://www.vandervlis.nl/

Testing X2go3
by Paul van der Vlis 23 May '09

23 May '09

Hello, I am testing X2go3 on Debian Lenny. I use FreeNX for a long time so I have some experience with NX. I really like the fact that you have clients under GPL, and Debian packages ;-) My montior has a 1680x1050 resolution. When I use a 800x600 screen (default), the screen opens first on 800x600 but switches then to "max. space availabele", in my case 1672x972 (space without Gnome panels). The fonts are much bigger then normal. When I use "fullscreen" the client opens fullscreen, but the fonts are much too small. When I use "1280x1024" the client opens at 1280x1024 and switches to "max space available", in my case 1672x972, now the fonts seem to be OK! This is so in both the KDE client and the GTK client, I did test to "localhost". When I log-off a session, I see a message that I am logged in as user "Unknown". But "whoami" says I am user "paul", strange. Why don't I see an annoucement for the new version in the mailinglist, is there maybe another form of communication? I see in the header that there is an organisation what gives payed support for X2go. But I cannot click on it, and do not understand which firm it is. http://www.x2go.org/fileadmin/media/header_01.png The "donation" function does not work, I get a blank page. Keep on the good work!

x2go Server on Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04
by Brian Moss 12 May '09

12 May '09

I tried installing the Lenny packages on Ubuntu 9.04, following these<http://www.linux4afrika.de/x2go/setup1.html>instructions. But was unable to install x2gosessionadministration as it depends on kcontrol, which no longer is used by Ubuntu 9.04. I plan on trying with 8.10 Hardy as kcontrol was supported in that release. Has anyone else ran into this issue? I know from x2go's launchpad page,<https://launchpad.net/x2go>that support for Ubuntu is coming, and am wondering what the best way to proceed would be. Thanks, Brian

GNOME does not initialize correctly: dbus-launch failed to autolaunch D-Bus session
by Paul Menzel 09 May '09

09 May '09

Dear list, I am running Debian Sid on the server and the x2goclient_gtk. Since some time (I think January 2009) the GNOME session does not start anymore and I can just see the background picture. Unfortunately I do not know what has changed on the system. Starting only a terminal or another program works. I get this in /var/log/user.log. Apr 13 17:02:18 hostname bonobo-activation-server (name-8129): could not associate with desktop session: dbus-launch failed to autolaunch D-Bus session: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed. The GNOME option seems to just run gnome-session. I did not find where this is specified. I tried to use an own command (Eigener Befehl) /usr/bin/dbus-launch /usr/bin/gnome-session (also with quotes) but got an error message. Starting a terminal and running this command worked though. You can find the version of the programs installed on the server at the end of this message. Do you have a solution for this problem?

x2goclient-3.00 compiles without problems but crashes running on opensuse
by Marco Lechner - FOSSGIS e.V. 08 May '09

08 May '09

Hi, I compiled x2goclient-3.00 on opensuse 11.1 without prolems using qmake and make. (O.k. I had to install a bunch of missing dev-libs). But when I try to connect to my x2go-server (debian) it crashes: [...] tunnel QProcess: Destroyed while process is still running. QObject: Do not delete object, 'unnamed', during its event handler! check command message normal "x2gocmdexitmessage x2g-50-1241725527_stDGNOME_dp24" host: "myhos.host.de" Speicherzugriffsfehler (=segmentation fault) Did anybody run x2goclient-3.00 sucessfully on opensuse? How to debug this? Where to report a bug? Is there a bugtracker? Marco P.S. using the same connection parameters from a debian or from windows clients, I don't get any problems. deactivating audio and printservices doesn't change anything.
