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 [sudo] password for hoefle: Wrong Password [sudo] password for hoefle: Sorry, try again. [sudo] password for hoefle: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:57: GtkWarning: could not open display warnings.warn(str(e), _gtk.Warning) Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key[ ERROR:UpdateManager.BugHandler] No exception handler installed. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/update-manager", line 37, in <module> app = Application(APP_NAME, LOCALE_DIR, frontend='Gtk') File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/UpdateManager/Application.py", line 120, in __init__ self._load_frontend(frontend) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/UpdateManager/Application.py", line 201, in _load_frontend "frontend", FrontendBase) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/UpdateManager/Application.py", line 240, in _load_meta obj = symbol(*module_args, **module_kwargs) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/UpdateManager/Frontend/Gtk/__init__.py", line 59, in __init__ gtk.init_check() RuntimeError: could not open display

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, Marco
