Hello mailinglist members,
I don't know why but some time ago this mailinglist stopped delivering mails to my account. I've added me again to the list so now I can answer your questions and tell you about the future of x2go. Of cause we are interested in helping english speaking x2go users - somehow they mainly have choosen this mailing list. Please keep on using this list if you prefer mailing lists instead of a forum (I really like mailing lists too).
If anybody is visiting Linuxtag in Berlin this month: we'll share a booth with skolelinux, olpc and linux4afrika.
A recent topic of the mailing list was the possibility to use x2goclient on OpenSuSE. Alex has made an tar.gz to compile x2goclient (GTK Version) on openSuSE11:
http://www.x2go.org/opensuse11/
This should help you to compile x2goclient for openSuSE.
A further topic was using x2go on ubuntu * :
We've tried to get all wishes of the ubuntu community into a speciallized version, which did not contain any qt or kde dependency and was using the unpatched versions of the nx libraries. This version (available on launchpad) could be installed without any configuration, but it was not possible to use the multiserver/ldap features. We've stopped to develop this special version, but our lenny packages are compatible with ubuntu 9.04. So please use the actual lenny repository, import the database and add your user to the group "x2gousers" - this should work and you'll have all new client features.
I'll keep on reading the archive of this group and answer further questions.
Greetings,
Heinz

I see something here: https://launchpad.net/x2go/trunk/2.99
could be installed without any configuration, but it was not possible to use the multiserver/ldap features.
Which software needed patches to realize that?
What about Samba, SSH and Cups, can X2go use system packages to avoid code-duplication?

I would really like a future where X2go (or something like that) and NX would find a way into Debian main (and with that in Ubuntu). I realize that this is the hard way, I know what the problems are.
If it helps I am willing to sponsor some money for development-work to get the NX protocol into Xorg, or in some kind of plugin for Xorg (to avoid license problems).
With regards, Paul van der Vlis.
