load balancing/LDAP
by Neil W. Hunt 26 Jul '10

26 Jul '10

Hello, it appears from the documentation that the only method of using load balancing is to use the x2goldaptools. Is this accurate? We use Likewise to authenticate against our Active Directory for our NX server, but were looking at x2go to replace FreeNX in order to use x2go's load balancing. Some other questions: I am assuming that you haven't tested the x2goldaptools against active directory, but is there any way you could elaborate a bit more on exactly what the x2goldaptools do? Does it use your existing ldap server users and groups to authenticate? If so, does it need to have a group "x2gousers" with corresponding users in order for the users to be authenticated? Does x2go, once the x2goldaptools are installed, immediately stop looking at any one server's users? If Active Dir supports ldap querying through ldap:// URLs, do you expect this would work like any other LDAP server? Are there any other ways to support load balancing without the x2goldaptools? Thanks, Neil

Off-the-shelf thin clients
by John A. Sullivan III 26 Jul '10

26 Jul '10

Hello, all. We have two clients interested in using thin clients to access X2Go Server. This is not an area of expertise for me. I do see the documentation on creating an image for a thin client with X2Go as the display manager. However, does anyone know of any thin clients that will run relatively "off-the-shelf" with X2Go either by using the firefox plugin or a simple installation of the standard X2Go client? Thanks - John

Hi, I've found the solution to my problem of embedded app in x2goplugin, by specifying rootless=false/true when I need it. I'm now facing another problem : http://cfait.fr/~gml/x2go-gedit.png I use : command=gedit rootless=false And as you can see, gedit doesn't fit the plugin screen size. Any idea ? Regards, gml

BUG: when sharing local folders ~/media symlinks not as expected
by Mike Gabriel 24 Jul '10

24 Jul '10

Hi there, testing the heuler x2go packages... Client system: Debian squeeze Server system: Ubuntu Lucid 1. When sharing a local folder it gets mounted properly on the client, but the symlinks in ~/media look weird: mike@vidar:~/media$ tree -L 2 . | |`- cd | |`- disk | | | `- _home_m.gabriel_test | `- rm Is this intended? 2. When suspending an x2go session the local shared directory gets unmounted properly on the server, but the desktop link (GNOME) remains on the desktop. After having resumed a session the desktop link is still there but it is invalid. I have to remove it manually, to get rid of it.

SABAYON-Userprofiles and X2GO
by swlambert-hg＠online.de 23 Jul '10

23 Jul '10

Hello at all, I 'm not sure whether this is the correct place to post my question. But I can't find a forum or wiki for x2go-User and Admin questions. So, I use this mailing-list. Since a few weeks I'm testing x2go. Everything works fine, but now, I have a problem. To create Gnome-Userprofiles, I use the Profileditor "Sabayon" ( http://live.gnome.org/Sabayon http://live.gnome.org/Sabayon ). The generation of the profiles and the assignment to the users work without any issue. But together with x2go, there is a (for me a big) problem. When a new user run a X2GO Session, he receive the Standard-Gnome Desktop instead of the „Sabayon“-Desktop. But when he first logged in localy on the Server, the assignment of the „Sabayon“-Desktop works on X2GO Sessions too. In my opinion , Sabayon is a good and easy tool for Administrators to handle the useraccess on the applications at the TS-Server. But it isn't feasible in a production environment with a lot of users, that every user first logged in localy on the server. NOMACHINE has published an article ( http://www.nomachine.com/ar/view.php?ar_id=AR10F00516 http://www.nomachine.com/ar/view.php?ar_id=AR10F00516 ) with the solution for this issue with NOMACHINE NX-Server. After I have adjusted the Sabayon Configuration on Ubuntu 10.04 (there are a few differences between Sabayon on Fedora and Sabayon on Ubuntu), i have make a test with the „Nomachine NX-Free Edition“ (not FreeNX) and it works indeed. Now I'm searching for the solution with X2GO. So, my two question are 1. Is there a possibilty in the X2GO-Configuration to configure a „UserScriptAfterSessionStart“ like in the Nomachine NX-Node configuration ? If yes, how ? 2. Is it possible to publish only Applications (not the whole Desktop) for users/usergroups ? If yes, how work it ? Thanks a lot for your help. Best regards Stefan ---------------------------------------- The Configuration of my Test-Environment: TS-Server ========== X2Go-Server One on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS in a VirtualBox-VM (1 Prozessor, 1,5GB RAM) installed over Repository (http://x2go.obviously-nice.de/deb/ http://x2go.obviously-nice.de/deb/ lenny main) – works fine Sabayon 2.29 (installad over Ubuntu Repository) – works fine P.S. Please excuse my bad english. English is not my first language, but I do my best :)

desktopsharing in x2goplugin final ?
by contact＠gmli.fr 23 Jul '10

23 Jul '10

Hi, this small email to know if desktop sharing will be available in the official release of x2goplugin ? If I write command=SHADOW in x2go.server, I can obviously see the list of running sessions, but the client can't handle shadowing. (On the other hand, shadowing works almost (no sound) perfectly with the normal client, great work !) Regards, gml

x2go windows client
by Malic Zilyas 22 Jul '10

22 Jul '10

Dear members, Currently I'm switchin from FreeNx to x2go. i must say everything looks very good! Especially when using linux platforms only. When using the windows client I've had the following problem. When trying to open a session: A first dialog with an empty msg, title: "Host key verification failed ..." and option "Yes" and "No". Pressing Yes opend up the same dialog again. Pressing No give me the error: "ssh_askpass: No such file or directory Host key verification failed." The client is installed on a system that has the latest cygwin installed. I was already using ssh and sshd from the cygwin package. This gave conflicting cygwin1.dll versions. Copy the latest dll the x2go folder did not resolve the problem completely. A new error occured, something like could not create directory /home/mz/ssh. I don't remember the exact error msg. I did a full scan of all cygwin1.dll. I found that I was running a little tool on the background (xplanet) that was also using a cygwin1.dll but a much older one. After closing down that tool, restoring the x2go original cygwin1.dll to its folder and trying again... All is well ... I started up my cron and sshd services again with the new cygwin1.dll and starting the x2go client with its original dll. Everything worked again! I just want to share this information, maybe put it in the faq or something. When using the windows client, be carefull to look for other (older) cygwin1.dlls For the rest I'm very happy using x2go. Thank you all Malic Zilyas
