Share database for multiple X2Go servers
by John A. Sullivan III 09 Jan '10

09 Jan '10

Hello, all. My rusty brain is gradually remembering the work we did a year ago when we first started adapting X2Go to our environment where we run a virtual vserver for each user so there is a one-to-one correspondence between virtual machines and virtual desktops. One of the important changes for our environment was to be able to run a single database server for all the (hopefully) thousands of individual X2Go servers. I know tha X2GoServer-One is designed for this and uses SQLite. However, I would rather run a single PostgreSQL server for 2000 X2GoServer instances than running 2000 instances of SQLite on the virtual desktop host. We had submitted patches roughly a year ago for supporting a shared database. A quick look at the wrapper scripts seems to indicate they weren't incorporated. Is there a better way? Is this natively supported now? Or will we need to reapply our patches to use PostgreSQL schema for each user? Thanks and thrilled to be back on board with X2Go - John

OT: X2Go desktop distribution choices
by John A. Sullivan III 06 Jan '10

06 Jan '10

Hello, all. We have been struggling over whether we wanted to offer Ubuntu or Fedora desktops to our users via X2Go. However, as we struggle in that debate, we are unexpectedly beginning to entertain the idea of using Debian instead. May I ask what your experiences have been? What are your preferred desktop clients and why? If Debian, is it stable + backports or testing? We are looking at supporting potentially many thousands of these desktops. Thanks - John

It will be the first new feature in 2010. I think - with luck - you'll be able to test it in january. At the moment we support only usb mass-storage devices, printers - and on thin clients cdroms too. Whenever there is a native network access possible like using "sane", it is possible to use our tunnel. We don't support USB device nodes which should be recordnized by the server. SmartCard access was an often requested feature and we are thinking about an elegant solution. best regards, Heinz > I recently installed x2go, and the feature that I really miss is the possibility for session shadowing. It would be great for me to help my users from a remote location if they have a problem. Is something like this planned for a future release? > > One other question: is it possible to connect a usb device other than memory sticks to the client and "tunnel" it to the server? I'd like to use a card reader for the home banking software (money plex) with x2go. ___________________________________________________________ Preisknaller: WEB.DE DSL Flatrate für nur 16,99 Euro/mtl.! http://produkte.web.de/go/02/

Proxy Disconnect
by --[ UxBoD ]-- 05 Jan '10

Hi, we have recently started to use X2GO, and have to say it is great, though ran into a small issue today. I was happily connected to my remote KDE desktop when my physical desktop disconnected from the network. On attempting to reconnect to the session I received a error message like "Proxy session disconnect" (apologies; did not write it down). I connected to via SSH to the virtual desktop and restarted the x2go service, attempted a connection again, but still got the same error. I noticed looking at the process list a couple of extra ssh sessions; for which I killed them all off and attempted another connection. This time it was successful. If a session becomes detached due to the physical machine, for arguments sake, crashing should the client fail to connect ? Best Regards,

Session Shadowing, Usb Device
by Peter.Seckler＠gmx.net 05 Jan '10

05 Jan '10

Hi, I recently installed x2go, and the feature that I really miss is the possibility for session shadowing. It would be great for me to help my users from a remote location if they have a problem. Is something like this planned for a future release? One other question: is it possible to connect a usb device other than memory sticks to the client and "tunnel" it to the server? I'd like to use a card reader for the home banking software (money plex) with x2go.

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