Hi,
sorry for spamming this list, but I'm in the progress of setting up an internal Document Foundation x2go server. :-)
I am having issues when using LXDE as desktop environment to control VirtualBox or KVM (virt-manager) with x2go from Mac. Only some commands seem to work -- if I boot e.g. Ubuntu in the virtual machine, only page up works, but enter and page down to nothing in the graphical GRUB boot menu, so the machine is unusable. I also tried changing the keyboard settings in x2go client, to no avail. The same server works just fine with the x2go client from Windows 7.
If I can be of any help in debugging, let me know ;)
Florian
Florian,
sorry for the delay in response, or for the double-post if someone's already help you solved your issue, but I thought I'd chime in as I may have had something similar. I have KVM running on an Ubuntu host and connect to it via virt-manager. At home on my Mac, I connect to it either directly via X11/SSH, or connect to my desktop via NX/x2go at work, and then to virt-manager on that desktop. In each case, the keyboard mapping is off by default when I type on a Mac - anything typed into the console view in virt-manager is mapped incorrectly. I have a workaround and that's to set each VM's keyboard mapping directly. If you run virsh edit YourVMName
then set the node <graphics> with an additional element keymap to 'en-us' like so: <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1' keymap='en-us'/>
and then all my mac keys worked fine.
Hope this helps, Neil

thanks a lot! No worries, I'm also a bit behind my inbox right now. :)

Do you have a similar solution for VirtualBox? We've switched to VirtualBox for the moment, but I have the same issues here :/
Thanks, Florian
I don't, but I use VirtualBox quite a bit and when I get some time, I will try to reproduce the issue there. Wish I could help more :(
