Hi Neil,

2010/12/17 Neil W. Hunt <nwhunt@vsticorp.com>
Ok, another update after 24 hours more of trial-and-error:

I have tried many combinations and STILL no gnome desktop for Likewise users! I don't understand it, I have tried:
-10.10 maverick with Likewise 6.0 and x2goserver-one 3.01-1
-10.10 maverick with Likewise 5.3 and x2goserver-home 3.01-1
-10.04 lucid with Likewise 5.4 and x2goserver 3.01-5

Also, I have tried using unspecified domain and default domain (e.g. either "DOMAIN\username" or just "username" when using default domain), same result either way. Authentiction is successful, but no desktop!

And every time, perfect success with local users (full GNOME desktop), blank/black screen with Likewise users, no matter what x2go client (Linux, Mac, Windows, 3.01-04 all the way through latest 3.01-14)

Ivan, you are for certain using 10.10 maverick and LW 5.4 and x2goserver (not home/one) and you have never seen this black screen issue at all?

I'm determined to get this working as I know we will have audio if we can get it!


I've finally managed to reproduce your problem :). I've just received black screen, no sound just after my login. Test it, and it is happening every time under specific circumstances. What are they?
I'm using:
- Ubuntu 10.10 x2goserver 3.01-5 and 3.01-1 as written above as server
- Likewise-open 6.0.0-1 (dpkg -l | grep likewise) as LDAP, joined with default Domain
- Windows 7 with x2goclient 3.01-13 as client

As result when I login with:
* USERNAME@DOMAIN (although it is already defined as default in Likewise-open), I face black screen, no sound, and the display at the title is nowhere in the server side
* USERNAME, I can login successfully with sound, folder share, terminate, etc...

Please, check at your end. I have never faced this problem with Likewise-open 5, even when I had always to login with USERNAME@DOMAIN there, as there doesn't have default domain join.

P.S. It is good side that I had experienced that, and that I can reproduce it, as I could make future investigations of your problem.

Best Regards
Ivan
