Windows client crashing on WinXP
by M0E Lnx 31 Jul '10

31 Jul '10

I just found out about the project and I've setup the server on a debian lenny install @ home. grabbed the windows client (Version 3.01-4) to connect from my windows XP install @ work, and the client crashes before it even asks to authenticate the server key. Been trying different things for a while now, with no results. First a message pops up saying the connection timed out. When I click the OK button or after a few seconds, the windows "program crashed" dialog shows up and terminates the application. I have a linux install inside a VM, I tried the gtk client there, and it works... I can connect just fine. But the windows client is not working for me. Any ideas how to fix it? or debug it?\ Any help is appreciated Thanks

Recommendation for mass conncections
by Yitzhak Bar Geva 31 Jul '10

31 Jul '10

We're an educational testing Center (http://www.nite.org.il/index.php/en.html) In the course of evaluating x2go as a possible solution for online testing, we're grappling with the issue of authentication. We need to establish a procedure by which each student has credentials on the server (by some automatic procedure which we still have to implement) and have each student authenticated at login either via user/password or public key. Since the test is one single application, there is no need for a desktop. It appears that providing each student with a username and password on the system is overkill. After all, she will only have to be authenticated once or twice to be tested by the application and then the authentication is expired. We'd greatly appreciate some advice or pointers on which authentication route to pursue for our needs. Thanks, Yitzhak

source code repository
by Gerry Reno 26 Jul '10

26 Jul '10

Heinz, I went looking for the source code at http://git.x2go.org/ today but there is nothing there. Is the source code at some other URL? I think a lot of questions could be answered and good contributions suggested if the source was readily available which it should be since x2go is linking NX GPL-v2 libraries. Gerry

Bouncing firefox plugin
by John A. Sullivan III 26 Jul '10

26 Jul '10

We have had some complaints from clients in the last few days where they have installed a fresh copy of firefox and then the latest plugin and the login screen bounces up and down unusably. That is, the blue login area drops below the black background and then back up again. There is apparently some known issue with the latest Firefox on sub-10" screens where this is a problem with Firefox. However, one client has experienced it on two normal sized laptops and we've not heard about the Firefox problem affecting those. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix or workaround? Thanks - John

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

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 :)

windows client pulseaudio
by Malic Zilyas 23 Jul '10

23 Jul '10

Hellow, Do I need to configure some things extra on my windows xp computer to be able to hear pulseadio? At the moment i have a server running pulseaudio, when I connect with the Audio parameter set in the session. I get the following: the loged in user types: alsamixer (e.g) -> Unable to connect: connection refused When i check my progress list i see the process pulseaudio.exe so it is running. When not using x2go, direct on the server pulseaudio works. Any ideas? Thx Malic
