Hi,

I just wanted to let you all know that I succeeded in running x2goclient on an Android mobile phone. It's no native port of x2goclient, rather, it's using a side-by-side install of Debian Wheezy on Android (does NOT require root, though!).

Things to do: a) Install these three Android Apps

1. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=champion.gnuroot
2. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=champion.gnuroot.wheezyx
3. a VNC client of your choice, I was using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=android.androidVNC

b) Run GNUroot on your Android device and do this:

1. Select Rootfs to Create: wheezyx, Tap "Create New Rootfs", wait until it completes
2. Select Rootfs to Launch: wheezyx
3. IMPORTANT: Tick the "Launch as Fake Root" box!
4. Tap "Launch Rootfs"

(Repeat 2) - 4) whenever you want to run this "Debian Wheezy in a box" again)

c) at the root shell, do this:

1. apt-get update
2. apt-get dist-upgrade -d -y && apt-get upgrade -y &&
   apt-get dist-upgrade -y && apt-get clean
3. apt-get install vim less (replace vim with your favorite console text editor if that isn't vim)
4. apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keys.gnupg.net E1F958385BFE2B6E
5. add

X2Go Repository (release builds)

deb http://packages.x2go.org/debian wheezy main # X2Go Repository (sources of release builds) deb-src http://packages.x2go.org/debian wheezy main

to either /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/x2go.list 6) apt-get update 7) apt-get install x2go-keyring && apt-get update 8) apt-get install lightdm openbox x2goclient pulseaudio ssh -y

Note that there is an issue: Starting local daemons seems to be impossible, even when using ports > 1024. So at the moment, neither sshd nor pulseaudio seem to work. This is where I'm stuck, it means there is no sound available.

9. make sure /home/.vnc/xstartup looks like this:

xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & x-window-manager & # Fix to make GNOME work export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1 /etc/X11/Xsession

(some lines were commented out in the default installation)

10. USER=root vncserver -kill :1
11. exit

d) repeat steps b) 2) - 4)

e) In your VNC client, do this:

1. Set up a connection to: localhost:5901 24-bit color depth password: password
2. once connected, you should see an xterm with window decorations.
3. Get yourself used to the various types of mouse emulations, as you may need to toggle between a few of them. For AndroidVNC, they can be set using Menu key->Input mode
4. run x2goclient and configure your session: be sure to un-check everything that requires a reverse SSH connection like printer or file sharing, and disable sound
5. you should now be able to start an x2go session.
