CLI / plugin
by Jörg Sawatzki 12 Jun '10

12 Jun '10

Hey folks, first of all I'd like to thank you for your excellent work! I just gave x2go a try on my virtual server running ubuntu hardy and I am quite impressed how easy it was to set it up and how fast it works. One short thing concerning the new plugin (which is not yet released, I know): I am on ubuntu lucid here (amd64) and firefox 3.6.3 - browsing to http://plugin.x2go.org and installing the plugin works perfectly. But: After installation, browsing to plugin.x2go.org makes firefox crash with the following command line output: firefox-bin: ../../src/xcb_io.c:249: process_responses: Assertion `(((long) (dpy->last_request_read) - (long) (dpy->request)) <= 0)' failed. Just as a hint - but probably you already know this issue... Anyway, now my actual question: I am developing a portable learning and working environment for the state of Lower Saxony targeted to schools (http://www.n-stick.de) Basically users put it on their USB stick to manage their portable programs and get updates using an apt-get like repository providing software and learning materials. If they e.g. install openoffice through the package manager, they can double click an *.odt file in the builtin file manager and it is opened with their openoffice. You probably already guess what I am thinking about: It would be cool if they had an option to say "Edit online" - in the case they don't have the appropriate application on their stick. Our portable desktop would then start x2goclient and popup an openoffice window on the remote x2goserver configured in the user's settings. I had a look at x2goclient-cli which could easily be executed by our python app. A few questions: - most of the users are using Windows - is or will the CLI be available for windows as well? - is there a way to tell the CLI that it should let the local window manager render the windows? If I use it with --command xterm for example, a 800x600 virtual desktop pops up and contains an xterm window. I have seen the x2goclient-gtk/qt can do that, but I am not sure how to do it with the CLI. - if the user clicks a file on his USB drive the terminal server will need access to it - is it possible to get that working with the CLI? Thanks once again and have fun at LinuxTag :o) Jörg

Single CUPS server for multiple X2Go Servers
by John A. Sullivan III 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Here are patches and documentation for using a single CUPS server for multiple X2Go Server - very handy in highly virtualized environments. It requires the shared database patch just sent to the list and the database modifications contained in the VServer patches just posted. The explanation is in the documentation. Thanks - John

How X2Go works
by John A. Sullivan III 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Since we are not developers, we struggled to gain an understanding of just how X2Go works under the covers - what is it doing from a system administrators perspective when a client connects, suspends, or terminates. Thus, I've attached my notes on what I have found. I have no idea if they are helpful or even accurate but here they are for what they are worth. Any corrections are most appreciated. Thanks - John

Local share rights
by John A. Sullivan III 10 Jun '10

10 Jun '10

Hello, all. We're getting some complaints from Windows users who are using the X2Go client local share facility. When they view the local file system from their X2Go desktop, they frequently see highly restrictive permissions - frequently 000. Has anyone else noticed this problem? I'm a Windows ignoramus. Is there a way to change the local file system so it saves files with more X2Go friendly permissions? Thanks - John

Ubuntu 10.04
by cougarmaster 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

Hi all, I have just installed Ubuntu 10.04 for a client on a XEN server and the login and using of the gnome desktop was really great! It was very fast login and using the programs was quick and no long waits. The login took about 6 sec from an internet connection. Though video playback is terrible still :) but the sound was smooth mostly having a few stops here and there otherwise its really good. Printing was great but had to stick to pdf printing which the client could live with pressing a few more buttons. The other great thing was that if the connection was cut off for whatever reason it now can connect back to that session, before it was like a roll of the dice. Also another great factor was using 10.04 is login and log out are really fast. The modem setting is a great saver for bad wifi connections. Anyway my main question would be will video playback be looked into? Since with ubuntu 10.04 out and most of the things I have tried seems to have enhanced the speed of ssh and stability. Though most people don't need it now it is a great feature to have since video calls are getting popular it would really enhance x2go usage further.

irc meeting?
by Heinz-M. Graesing 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

Hello, what would you think about an irc meeting after Linuxtag (1-2h)? This would be an easy way to get in contact and discuss about x2go and the next steps for this project. We would collect a list of topics discussed on Linuxtag and put them inside the inviting mail. Please let us know what you're thinking about this option. best regards, Heinz

Public bug tracker?
by Jo-Erlend Schinstad 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

Is there such a thing? If not, perhaps it would be worth considering. That way, we could file bugs and do bug triage, freeing up time for the core developers. It would also be nice if we could see which bugs are open so that we may work on closing them if we have time and competence to do so. Jo-Erlend

Desktop sharing
by Peter Puk 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

As described here: http://www.x2go.org/index.php?id=72 Quote: "You may share their displays to help them or to discuss your projects." How can i share a desktop, or as i understand: "login to an already running desktop, to support the current working user." In what way can i manage that. I'm already to access the "server" and login to another user, but not take over an existing session. Ronnie
