Problem with initial user configuration on Ubuntu
by Jeff Hanson 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

If a new user is created on Ubuntu (with users-admin or adduser), and the initial GUI login is performed with X2Go, the default XDG directories (as defined in /etc/xdg/user-dirs.defaults) are not created. I'm not sure what script or tool is supposed to handle that but it's either not executing or failing.

X2go Git now available at BerliOS
by Mike Gabriel 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

Dear X2go-folks, the X2go Git repository at BerliOS has been set up today. You can browse the X2go-Git at BerliOS: http://git.berlios.de/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/x2go/tree/?h=master http://git.berlios.de/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/x2go/tree/?h=develop META INFORMATION ================ The master branch is the project's release branch. A commit to master will be equivalent to an X2go release. The develop branch will be the branch that you can derive your own branches from for features you want to … [View More]implement (and possibly propose for integration into X2go). Currently, the develop branch is a simple copy of the master branch. Heinz and Alex have just finished a complete rewrite of the x2goclient that will use libssh as opposed to ssh binary calls in the background. Alex has proposed a patch to upstream libssh that got accepted and once the new libssh version is released there will be a commit to the develop branch containing the latest x2goclient code. This is expected for the end of January 2011. We are also still discussing the Git branching model details. As a template for the discussion we use this document (as proposed by HedgeHog from the x2go-dev list): http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/ There will be some slight modifications to this model but the discussion will take place along this very fine piece of work. USING X2go/Git: =============== You can anonymously clone a working copy of X2go Git with this command: $ git clone git://git.berlios.de/x2go x2go BerliOS users should also be able to clone a working copy with this command: $ git clone ssh://<developername>@git.berlios.de/gitroot/x2go x2go If you want to branch off of the develop branch for your own implementation work, then do this after having cloned the BerliOS Git: $ cd x2go $ git checkout develop $ git checkout -b branch_<featurename> ... where <featurename> is a short string of your choice (at least for now) that describes the feature you are going to implement. If you intend working on a feature that you would like to become part of X2go some time in the future then we should agree on some, e.g.: 1) please talk to Heinz and Alex about your ideas first, don't simply start working 2) make sure that you work in small portions, do not rewrite the complete code and expect a merge 3) document your work 4) ... ??? ... For now, feature branches will stay on your local file systems. Once, we have finished our discussion on the Git branching model we will inform you on how merge requests can be send to the project (probably via a commit of your feature branch to BerliOS, but we will see...). Looking forward to a growing project and an active X2go community with lots of fine contributions... light+love, Mike -- DAS-NETZWERKTEAM mike gabriel, dorfstr. 27, 24245 barmissen fon: +49 (4302) 281418, fax: +49 (4302) 281419 GnuPG Key ID 0x1943CA5B mail: m.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de, http://das-netzwerkteam.de freeBusy: https://mail.das-netzwerkteam.de/freebusy/m.gabriel%40das-netzwerkteam.de.x… [View Less]

Hardware requirements

Joakim If you haven't read this yet off of the old x2go website you might want to read about how Linux4Afrika Project<http://www.linux4afrika.de/x2go/basic_installation.html>configured their x2go servers. That web site and information is a bit "dated" but it can give you some ideas. One thing caught my eye in your email are a couple of your statements: "the setup will serve 200 x2goclietn users on a wlan" If the goal is to support 200 simultaneous users... I'm not sure those 2 … [View More]

Re: [X2go-dev] x2goclient-cli don't terminates correctly?

> A quick and dirty solution would be to fix the perl script to take care of child processes and properly terminate them at exit. ... and here's my quick & dirty hack, add it after the last line in x2goclient-cli: # ---- CUT ---- my @SSHS = (); my $ssh; my $pid; my @ssh_split = (); # print "$0: Checking ssh sessions ...\n"; open(GR_SSH,"ps ux | grep \"ssh -p $port .*-N -L $gr_port:localhost:$gr_port $user\@$server\" | grep -v grep |"); @SSHS = <GR_SSH>; close(GR_SSH); if ($… [View More]

Hardware requirements
by Joakim Seeberg 05 Jan '11

Hi, could someone elaborate on the hardware requirements for x2goserver setup. It is for educational use so the primary applications is openoffice and firefox on kde or gnome desktop. The setup will serve 200 x2goclient users on a wlan. At the moment I have 2 used IBM servers with SCSI RAID, dual Pentium 4 CPU, ram unknown. Does the load spread automaticly or will the user have to choose server at login, when using x2goserver with more than one node? Thanks, Joakim
