Hi all
New here and trying to move away from NoMachine 3.
I have a Sun Workstation with nVidia Quadro card running OpenSuse 11 and NoMachine 3 (free) and using the latest player and this all works fine. But I now need to move to a virtual server (no graphics hardware) and while NoMachine works OK there are issues with colours on session restart and performance.
I want to use X2Go but there are issues especially with resuming sessions.
My client is a Win 7 (32 bit) laptop that can have different screen setups
1)On own with a wide small screen
2)At "home" using laptop screen and a 1280x1024 external - monitor wanted is number 2
3)At "work" using a 1280x1024 and a second wide screen monitor - monitor wanted in number 1
If present I want the X session to go full screen on the 1280x1024, else full screen on the laptop. The NoMachine client does this very well so at "home" and "work" the session always goes to the 1280x1024 fullscreen without intervention from me.
Using X2Go I can start the session first time OK and I can set it to the 1280x1024 monitor. I haven't been to the "work" location to see if it will work properly there. But on attempting to resume the client opens a small window and then VcXsrv crashes.
I tried the pyhoca-gui and this does resume OK but the full screen fills both monitors and I can't find a way to limit to the 1280x1024. And the mouse wheel doesn't switch between virtual screens.
X2Go session when working looks much better than NoMachines but the resume needs to work. I sometimes work remotely and if the VPN link drops I need to be able to resume the session when I reconnect. NoMachine does this job really well. I don't need this to be automatic but I need the function.

Package: x2goclient
Version: 4.0.5.1
The Repository for Debian Jessie on <http://packages.x2go.org/> is
signed with a key F4A7678C9C6B0B2B. But documentation on
<http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:repositories:debian> says to install
key E1F958385BFE2B6E.
It seems, the package "x2go-keyring" also has only the older key; which
is no surprise:
root@faepop69 ~ # apt-cache policy x2go-keyring
x2go-keyring:
Installed: 2012.07.23+wheezy~main~17~build1
Candidate: 2012.07.23+wheezy~main~17~build1
Version table:
*** 2012.07.23+wheezy~main~17~build1 0
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
2012.07.23~jessie~main~17~build1 0
500 http://packages.x2go.org/debian/ jessie/main amd64 Packages
Even if the package carried a recent key it would not update, since the
version number on Jessie is smaller then on wheezy.
Best regards
Andreas

Hi!
W: An error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the
previous index files will be used. GPG error: http://packages.x2go.org/debian stretch InRelease: The
following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY
F4A7678C9C6B0B2B
Please update the x2go-keyring package with the new package signing key
and store the public key in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d so apt can use it to check the repository.
Please also update the wiki page http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:repositories:debian
and list the new key ID.
Thanks!

(In my co-worker's computer it's something deeper than the desktop
environment that causes these slow updates.
Both Unity and XFCE in his laptop have these slow updates.)

I consistently get a VcXsrv crash when using the CTRL ALT f key
combination to (try to) move from non-fullscreen mode to full-screen
mode; screenshot attached. The text (which is in Danish) reads:
VcXsrv windows xserver (X2Go/Arctica Builds) has stopped working.
A problem caused the program to stop functioning properly. Close the
program.
I have tried copying in the latest VcXsrv binaries from
http://vcxsrv.sourceforge.net/ to X2go's directory, but that doesn't help.
Client OS: Windows 8.1 Enterprise 64 bit. The issue has consistently
been reproduced on both a physical and an KVM-virtualized Windows client.
When running x2go from Fedora Linux, I don't see crashes when toggling
fullscreen mode with CTRL ALT f.

sorry, a copy-paste error occured in version number comparison for Fedora 24.
The right output is:
$ rpm -q x2goserver-xsession
x2goserver-xsession-4.0.1.19-11.fc24.x86_64
