MacOS x2goclient
by Stefan Baur 30 Jun '11

30 Jun '11

Hi everyone, sorry I didn't resurface sooner - some of you might remember my list of questions from March 2011 (<https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/x2go-dev/2011-March/001817.html>) - but I had to delay my NX-to-x2go migration plans due to another, more urgent software migration. As the deadline for that migration is coming up, and I'm hoping to meet it, I can now start making plans for my upcoming NX-to-x2go migration. While most of my users are using Windows clients, a few oddballs are using MacOS. On <http://www.x2go.org/index.php?id=1&L=4>, it says "x2goclient: * MacOS version (outdated - we are looking for hardware)" I might get my hands on a used Mac Mini, Model MB138D/A, however, I have no Mac-specific know-how. So, if this machine is useful for one of the developers on this list, please contact me *by e-mail* (no use in spamming the list with "me-too"s). I'm not giving the machine away, but you may use it free of charge for the duration of the tests. If you are an individual developing on your own, personal time, I will have to require a deposit, something around 150-180 Euro, just to be sure you won't run away with the machine. ;-) You will get your money back once I get the machine back. Companies with a certain posting history on this list, like Mike Gabriel/DAS-NETZWERKTEAM are exempt from this requirement. Mike, do you have any idea if pyhoca-gui will run on MacOS? Kind Regards, Stefan

Fwd: [X2go-dev] minimum memory for thin client
by kamerun＠immerda.ch 30 Jun '11

30 Jun '11

hello again, i send this mail one more time, sorry, but i had no answer and i need at least one: the minimum requirements for the x2go thin clients. why? i work now with alix boards and they are very good, may be to good (256 mb ram for a thin client is many as well as a 500 MHz cpu) i found thin client much cheaper with 64 mB ram i would like to test it, but i really don't know if it is enough for x2go thin client. i fly the 15. juli to europe. i really like to meet the people of x2go, if it is a possiblility, just tell me. africa could be a good place for x2go. michel -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [X2go-dev] minimum memory for thin client Date: Wed, 08 Jun 2011 17:06:58 +0100 From: kamerun(a)immerda.ch <kamerun(a)immerda.ch> Reply-To: x2go-dev(a)lists.berlios.de To: x2go list <x2go-dev(a)lists.berlios.de> hello, i work now more and less 2 years with an x2go network in cameroon and it works fine, so thanks for your work. i would like to participate, but here the situation is crazy: in few years we will no more recognise africa and the technical level of the discussion is too high question 1 i would like to know the minimum of memory for x2go thin clients, i have read the x2go docu and google but i don't find the answer. i know that we need 64 mb for ltsp, i suppose it is a more for x2go thin client, so how much it is? question 2 as our connection here in cameroon is very poor, we have done in europe a repository usb hard drive, it works well. i have done a script to install a x2go server and it goes very fast: less than 15 minutes the x2go server is working, if interesse i can post the script. question 3 i come to europe begin of july for 2-3 months, i would like to meet people to experience installation, use of x2go, exist a workshop or something like this in the holiday period? with a cameroonian woman and some friends, we want introduce low power network (one x2go server 4 client) with solar power and with x2go. hope to see you michel -- kamerun(a)immerda.ch homepage: http://sokolo.cronopios.org linux friends sokolo new road limbe / cameroun phone : (00237) 743 514 33 _______________________________________________ X2go-dev mailing list X2go-dev(a)lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/x2go-dev

SOLVED: keyboard freezes with X2go thin clients
by Mike Gabriel 30 Jun '11

30 Jun '11

Hi all, hi eps. Heinz, with some gCards you can observe Xorg/kbd freezes on X2go thin clients (I had a discussion with Heinz about that lately on the phone). I have found a solution for this: use kernel boot option ,,nomodeset''. The freeze is actually a graphical freeze and a result of interference between console fb and Xorg. The latest X2go TCE packages have this boot option set by default.

by Heiko Baumann 29 Jun '11

29 Jun '11

Hello, is there a way to use x2goclient with ssh-agent(1)? i am using ssh-agent with my etoken to login via nxclient on some machines. is this possible with x2goclient? i've started x2goclient from the same shell where a ssh login to the remote server worked with agent auth. but x2goclient seems not to use the running ssh-agent. thanks for any help. heiko

nice, ionice with x2go?
by John Williams 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Has anyone experimented with 'nice' or 'ionice' to improve x2go responsiveness? If so, what x2go processes might benefit? The linux server that I am running x2goserver on sometimes has high loads, both CPU and disk IO. However, there should be plenty of resources left, since never are all of the CPU cores maxed out, and the root filesystem is running on a fast SSD. Nevertheless, sometimes x2go responsivity will go to almost nothing for a few seconds. So, I was thinking to try x2go with 'nice -n -10' and 'ionice -c 2 -n 0' or even 'ionice -c 1', but I am not sure how to go about that. Does there exist anywhere a short description of the jobs that x2go starts when it is invoked, and what each does? Currently I see: x2gocleansessions (root, PPID 0) x2goagent (user, PPID 1) x2goruncommand (user, PPID 0) ssh (.x2go) (user, PPID 0) sshfs (.x2go) (user, PPID 0) but I am not sure which are important to responsivity, and which scripts started which processes (so I can edit the scripts to insert 'nice' commands).

Fedora issues
by Robin Green 27 Jun '11

27 Jun '11

Hi, I struggled mightily to get the git versions of x2goclient and x2goserver to work on two Fedora 15 machines today, and finally succeeded. Along the way I ran into a bunch of problems - here are some that I remember: 1. Out of date or missing information on the wiki - known problem, and I guess I can help with this at least. 2. The way the nxcomp Makefile installs symbolic links causes a subtle "permission denied" problem if SELinux is enforcing. The "install" command installs libraries with the correct SELinux context; the "cp -a" command does not install symbolic links with the correct context. (I do not know whether rpmbuild automatically fixes such problems; if it does, then this would only be a problem for installs from tarballs.) 3. For some reason (I could not figure out why), the automatically-generated password was not inserted into the file ~/.x2go/sqlpass. That file was empty. I worked around this by manually resetting the password to another random password and putting the password in that file. 4. In x2gostartagent, X2GO_LIB does not seem to be set anywhere. So I added a line to set it. 5. The Makefile of nxcomp installs the libraries into /usr/local/lib, not /usr/lib/x2go, by default. So I added /usr/local/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH in x2gostartagent. 6. This is not an x2go bug, but Fedora has a very annoying problem that xauth keeps printing the message: xauth: /home/greenrd/.Xauthority not writable, changes will be ignored I do not know what causes this, or what its significance is. I workaround it by doing: rm ~/.Xauthority* 7. It is necessary to set the hostname in /etc/hosts, or xauth will complain that the display is invalid. Strangely, the Fedora installation CD neglects to do this! 8. At least one key, the left arrow key, doesn't work if you tell x2goclient to keep the same keyboard layout - I had to tell it my keyboard layout. -- Robin Green

x2go thin client environment connecting to server on internet?
by Christoffer Krakou 19 Jun '11

19 Jun '11

Hello there. I am currently looking at a solution for a school, and ideally, it would be using a small image distributed via PXE, wich contains x2go. This client would then connect to a cloud server. The wiki says that the TCE is not meant to be used for internet connections, yet it also states that the pxe server and x2go server should be kept separate. Would this work, or do i need another approach? My plan was to build the PXE image on a testing server, and put it on a Cisco ASA for distributing.

X2go Thin Client environment based on Debian squeeze is ready for testing.
by Mike Gabriel 18 Jun '11

18 Jun '11

Hi all, for Debian squeeze (no Ubuntu yet, sorry) a new possible X2go Thin Client environment is ready for testing. An installation howto is available in the X2go wiki: http://wiki.x2go.org/installing_x2go_thin_client_environment_debian I will be happy about feedback from those of you who try it out. At the beginning Morty and later on I have tried to simplify and automize many of the installation steps that formerly (Debian lenny) had to be done manually. The code base of the current TCE can be found here: http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2gothinclient.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/tm… Greets + Good luck, Mike @Heinz: could you please take a look at the code? To make packages available for Ubuntu on Launchpad we need to shift the code over to the Git master branch of the x2gothinclient.git project. -- DAS-NETZWERKTEAM mike gabriel, dorfstr. 27, 24245 barmissen fon: +49 (4302) 281418, fax: +49 (4302) 281419 GnuPG Key ID 0xB588399B mail: mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de, http://das-netzwerkteam.de freeBusy: https://mail.das-netzwerkteam.de/freebusy/m.gabriel%40das-netzwerkteam.de.x…
