Hello,
I am evaluating the x2go tools as an alternative to vnc (I like especially the browser plugins).

On the server (debian squeeze) I recognized that the x2goserver is periodically every 5 seconds doing this:

srv03-lin:/srv/http/trac/umtsrouter# tail -F -n 10 /var/log/auth.log
Oct  4 19:47:33 srv03-lin sudo:     root : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/x2gopgwrapper listsessionsroot srv03-lin
Oct  4 19:47:38 srv03-lin sudo:     root : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/x2gopgwrapper listsessionsroot srv03-lin
Oct  4 19:47:43 srv03-lin sudo:     root : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/x2gopgwrapper listsessionsroot srv03-lin
Oct  4 19:47:48 srv03-lin sudo:     root : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/x2gopgwrapper listsessionsroot srv03-lin
Oct  4 19:47:53 srv03-lin sudo:     root : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/x2gopgwrapper listsessionsroot srv03-lin
Oct  4 19:47:58 srv03-lin sudo:     root : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/x2gopgwrapper listsessionsroot srv03-lin
Oct  4 19:48:03 srv03-lin sudo:     root : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/x2gopgwrapper listsessionsroot srv03-lin
Oct  4 19:48:08 srv03-lin sudo:     root : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/x2gopgwrapper listsessionsroot srv03-lin
Oct  4 19:48:13 srv03-lin sudo:     root : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/x2gopgwrapper listsessionsroot srv03-lin
Oct  4 19:48:18 srv03-lin sudo:     root : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/x2gopgwrapper listsessionsroot srv03-lin
Oct  4 19:48:23 srv03-lin sudo:     root : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/x2gopgwrapper listsessionsroot srv03-lin

"/etc/init.d/x2goserver stop" will stop the authentication requests.

Any Ideas what can cause this?


On the client side I experienced other strange things, when having multiple sessions I get this on the x2go web plugin client (browser iceweasel 3.5.12):

(the command update-manager was lauchched within a gnome xterm shell)

hoefle@srv03-lin:~$ sudo update-manager

Sorry, try again.

    gtk.init_check()

with vnc I can have multiple sessions without having any problems regarding display opening.


I have a swiss-german keyboard layout and I have a key mismatch, it seem that I always get a german keylayout. Is eventually not every keymap implemented?

Cheers,
