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

Seemless sessions using GDM?
by Jo-Erlend Schinstad 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

Hello everyone. On my home desktop, I use Ubuntu 10.04. I use it for personal stuff and I use it for business, but then using an x2go terminal server. And I'm very satisfied with that solution. However, yesterday, I tried something new, and the result was 99% awesome. What I did, was to add a new session type to GDM, which I called x2go. This session simply runs x2goclient --geometry=fullscreen --session=x2go and some other parameters. The x2go session uses a spesific user and key, so it wouldn't be a good solution in all cases, but since I'm the only user of this particular pc, it's not a problem for me. Having setup the client to use a key for login, this means that when I login as my x2go user in GDM, the only thing I see, is the x2go session. This is really very nice, but when I log out from the x2go session, I end up with the x2go window. It would be very nice if I could find a way to exit the application when I log out from the x2go session. Is this possible today, or must it be coded? Thanks, Jo-Erlend Schinstad

Hi, I'm FreeNX user for last 2 years. I'd like to try other TS environment because I'm going now to deploy a Linux app to one of my customers and I'm evaluating all the possibilities there are. I installed x2go (home) like according to x2go.org and when I try to log in I get a fault. I attach log of connection. Thanks in advance

Re: [X2go-dev] X2go-dev Digest, Vol 18, Issue 7

I've tried most of the remote desktop solutions out there. NoMachine's NX, NX/FreeNX, Citrix ICA, etc. They *all* suffer from less than perfect video over the net. Its a combination of bandwidth and cpu horsepower either of which can induce delay/jitter. Audio won't be as noticable as video because if you miss some bits of audio your ears/mind usually still can understand but miss some bits of video and its always noticable. There are quite a few solutions that are starting to appear though that will help. Red Hat has released to opensource the SPICE<http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Red-Hat-open-sources-Qumranet-SPICE-…>software they got from QumranNet two years ago. There is also work being done with Neatx although its got key features that don't work yet (audio/printing for a couple). and there are a variety of other solutions starting to hit the market. Then there is the movement to HTML 5 with embedded video support which is going to change a lot of things for the better. If the video you need to view is web based then don't have the user launch a browser on the remote desktop machine but launch it locally.

x2gospyglass with x2goserver-one?

x2gothinclient: pre-select session?
by Philipp Huebner 04 Jun '10

04 Jun '10

Hi, today I successfully replaced LTSP by X2Go on a Debian Edu Terminalserver. On the server I just installed x2goserver-one. In the Thin-Client chroot I modified /etc/init.d/ramdrive to create a sessions file that offers a session for the Terminalserver. It works like a charm: the user clicks on the card, enters his username and password, and there he goes :) Now, to top it all off, it would be great if I could get x2goclient to pre-select that session. In my setup there is only one Terminalserver, and that way the click on the card would be saved. Currently, I have the following in /opt/x2gothinclient/etc/default/x2goclient: x2goclient --external-login=/ramdrive/logins --no-menu --maximize --link=lan --kbd-layout=de --kbd-type=pc105/de --set-kbd=1 --geometry=fullscreen --add-to-known-hosts --read-exports-from=/ramdrive/export If I just add --session-id=20100603181957574 to that list, x2goclient won't start. that argument alone doesn't work either. So my question is: if possible, how can I pre-select a specific session for the x2gothinclient? Regards, -- .''`.

Serious Issue - x2goagent runaway CPU
by John A. Sullivan III 04 Jun '10

04 Jun '10

Hello, all. We are seeing this with enough regularity that it is alarming. Our first client uses Konqueror heavily in their work process. They usually open files from it rather than from within the applications, they email directly from it, etc. The environment is Lenny + Backports with a few updates from Squeeze. We are using KDE 3.5. X2Go is 3.0.1-4 on the client (all windows stations) and 3.0.1-5 for server. We have not been able to track down the trigger but the user's Konqueror will freeze partly painted. x2goagent consumes all the CPU and Konqueror's memory usage grows to frightening amounts (e.g., 18GB). How can we track down and kill this serious bug? Thanks - John

Compensating for heavy packet loss environments
by John A. Sullivan III 03 Jun '10

03 Jun '10

We have some clients who are experiencing heavy packet loss on their Internet connection. As a result, their X2Go sessions regularly hang and then take forever to time-out. Their other Internet traffic is much more resilient. This sounds like an SSH problem which does have a problem with lossy environments. We've started testing with changing the sshd_config to have: ClientAliveCountMax 12 ClientAliveInterval 5 Any other suggestions or experiences in using X2Go in high packet loss environments? Thanks - John

Fwd: x2go with ldap, but no login

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: x2go with ldap, but no login Date: Tue, 1 Jun 2010 06:37:46 +0200 From: lug limbe <lug.limbe(a)gmail.com> To: kamerun(a)immerda.ch, "lug.limbe" <lug.limbe(a)gmail.com> hello, first a question: i will come in europe in july august, september, last year i participate to a x2go meeting in germany, it was very nice and helpfull for me. if it exist something similar (workshop, seminar, ...) please tell me, i woud like to participate. as we quasi promise, we install x2go with ldap. we install x2go with x2go-home on ubuntu and x2go-one with debian without ldap without problems. we want to have 2 x2goserver with load balance, it would be very nice, because if a server is not working, we can still work with the other server, if both are working, with load balance it should help for better performance. so we tryto install x2go with ldap. it has taken more than 2 days: we have a 128 kbs connection, but the worse ist the current, which stop every 20-30 minutes when the rain is heavyl falling down (we are in the raining season. it seems to work fine, but when i want to start a client (PXE) i come until the login, but it appears only the icon to shutdown and nothing else. as you can see in syslog and better understand as i, slapd is working, every 5 seconds happens something it seems to close the connection */ /* /*May 31 22:52:21

update on the status of the new release
by Heinz-M. Graesing 31 May '10

31 May '10

Hello x2go user, we've finally found the bug preventing the release of the new version. Now there will be some changes to the feature list of the upcomming release: To keep it realistic there will be no audio support for the desktop/session sharing feature (for now). It won't be possible to modify a shared session which is not yours (due to security reasons). There where also some requests regarding the needed KDE4 bindings. As KDE has changed a lot, we are discussing to build those as a "plasmoid". We'll make the new release accessible for testing purpuse soon - but the plasmoid will take us some time. best regards, Heinz
