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 ?
- 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
<snip> Hello, Stefan. I'm not familiar with Sabayon (perhaps I should be!). We've been setting XDG_DATA_DIRS and using a centrally managed settings approach.
However, it is possible to launch specific applications and this can include, I believe, a wrapper application to something like startkde or gnome-session. A while ago, I had published on this list our work of summarizing the X2Go process of setting up and tearing down a session. You might find that helpful.
It seems to all be driven from the client via SSH. Eventually, the client runs (via ssh on the server) /usr/bin/x2goruncommand. This command can be just about anything and is configured in the client interface under the session type on the Session (first) tab. Hope this helps - John

Hello John,
thanks a lot for your quickly and helpful reply.
The solution for the problem is realy simple. As you write, I change the settings in the first tab of the GTK-Client.
Here is the solution for the described issue.
- replace "Gnome" with "Other Desktop-Environment"
- write into the commandline "/etc/X11/Xsession"
and it works fantastic :)))
Thanks for your help !!!!
Best regards Stefan
