Hello,
Is it possible to work full-screen on Windows XP with X2goclient? I have a customer what says that this does not work.
With regards, Paul.

Hi, Paul.
I think you are right, at least sometime ago it wouldn't work and would segfault.
This is how i did it back then with xfreerdp compiled from git
Start a X2GO session with full screen selected
Call a script that do other thing and:
DSIZE=xdpyinfo |grep -i dimensions|awk '{print $2}'
xfreerdp -d ${DOMAIN} -x 3 -z -g ${DSIZE} -k ${KEYB} -n ${USERHOSTNAME} --sec rdp ${FINALSTRG} ${SERVER}:${PORT}"

Maybe. Maybe not. Our crystal ball has been returned to the manufacturer for an upgrade, so please, tell us more about the systems involved, at least the following:
- Linux distribution and version used on the server
- list of X2Go packages (and version numbers) installed on the server
- list of packages and version numbers of the desktop environment
- version number of Windows client
- the exact error message your customer is seeing (preferably including a detailed log from the login process)
Obviously, it is impossible to start a $FOO session if the $FOO Desktop Environment hasn't been installed on the server.

Debian 6.0.5.
- list of X2Go packages (and version numbers) installed on the server
I did a new install with "apt-get install x2goserver". So the latest version. And x2gognomebindings.
- list of packages and version numbers of the desktop environment
You are asking a lot... It's the Gnome environment of Debian stable, gnome-desktop-environment is installed.
- version number of Windows client
The latest X2goclient version.
- the exact error message your customer is seeing (preferably including a detailed log from the login process)
I don't have that. My customer just said that it did not work full-screen, and that there was no need to get it working. But I am curious.
Obviously, it is impossible to start a $FOO session if the $FOO Desktop Environment hasn't been installed on the server.
It was just meaned as a very simple question, something like: "does it work for you?" of "is it known not to work?".
With regards, Paul.

And the repository you used was stable or heuler?
- list of packages and version numbers of the desktop environment

Because there is a lot that can go wrong.
- version number of Windows client
The latest X2goclient version.
Again, the latest *stable* client, or one of the release candidates?

And again, you're witholding vital information. "does not work" is a state, but not a bug report. There are a multitude of ways that the x2goclient can be used, how exactly should we be able to tell which one your customer is using if you don't tell us? Just as a quick reminder, there's single application mode, published application mode, and the option to display a virtual desktop that doesn't fill the entire screen, as well as the full screen option, and and and... plus, the way you worded your original message it sounded like "I have a client where x2goclient isn't working at all, and I need fullscreen mode there."
Obviously, it is impossible to start a $FOO session if the $FOO Desktop Environment hasn't been installed on the server.
It was just meaned as a very simple question, something like: "does it work for you?" of "is it known not to work?".
And the answer is rather complex, as it depends a lot on your setup, unless "Works for me" and "I can imagine a few scenarios where it might not work" are the answers you were looking for, which I doubt.
Please remember, most of us are volunteers answering questions in their spare time. You have a customer, you're making money from this and we're supposed to work for you for free? Then you should at least have the common courtesy to provide us with the necessary details to answer your question. If you don't want to do that, shell out the money and pay for support - there are people on the list that offer paid support, after all.
-Stefan PS: I'm not going to waste my time answering you any further in this thread, maybe others will pick up if you provide sufficient information.

That are exactly the kind of answers I was looking for.
I don't have a Windows computer to test or reproduce it. My customer lives 300 km away and I have not much contact with him, and he don't cares much about this problem. I was just curious about it.

You can do that, or you can not do that, you're choice.

I offer paid support myself, but I am a Linux man and not a Windows man. Sometimes you ask something at colleagues. It was not a bug report.
With regards, Paul.

We have used it full screen. I do not recall the version I have installed on Windows right now and it is not immediately available. There are issues however. The keys to return from full screen do not work (e.g., <CTL-M|F>) nor does the magic pixel. The only way to exit full screen I found was to <ALT><TAB> which reflects another problem. <ALT><TAB> does not select windows in the virtual desktop as we would prefer it did. Is that what your client is experiencing? - John

Thanks for the info.

No, I think this was not the case. He said full-screen did not work, but running X2goclient in a window does work.
But I don't know what exactly the problem was. I have asked him now.
With regards, Paul.
