User x2goprint - shell set to /bin/sh
by glpk xypron 09 Nov '12

09 Nov '12

Dear maintainer, on a system where x2goserver is installed I found the following entries in /etc/passwd: x2gouser:x:123:137::/var/lib/x2go:/bin/false x2goprint:x:130:139::/var/spool/x2goprint:/bin/sh Is there any reason why x2goprint should be able to logon interactively? Couldn't the shell be set to /bin/false like for x2gouser? Best regards Heinrich Schuchardt

Install not working on Ubuntu 12.10
by Joe Ambrosino 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

I have thus far installed x2go server on 3 Ubuntu desktop machines, two of them, Ubuntu 10.04 and one 12.04 that I've upgraded from10.04. The two machines that currently run on 10.04 work just fine I can connect using a password without using shared keys. I cannot get the 12.04 machine to work. I've installed & uninstalled completely several times. Each time I try to connect, I get an error -Access denied. Authentication that can continue: publickey, password,keyboard-interactive. I have tried connecting without a shared key, and discovered when I tried to use the shared key, the folder .x2go (yes I know, it's hidden) that is available in the Home folder on my other machines, isn't available on the 12.04 machine. I thought that perhaps the folder wasn't getting created because of a permissions issue, so I created an empty .x2go folder with the same permissions as on my other machines. This didn't help, the folder was never populated. I get no install errors. I tried enabling debugging, but wasn't able to find any output (I may not be looking in the correct place, but related is appearing in the logfile viewer.

Fwd: x2goserver without root access
by Ralf Hemmecke 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

Hello, all I've currently seen is that one has to install x2goserver on the server. Can I also install x2goserver (or maybe some other software) on a debian6 machine if I only have an ordinary linux account on the server, but no root access? Ralf

Are logcheck rules for x2goserver available somewhere?
by Holger Krause 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

Dear list, logcheck includes many lines related to x2go programs in it's reports. Some examples are: Oct 29 10:15:38 remote /usr/bin/x2goterminate-session: session with ID XXX has been terminated successfully Oct 29 10:15:46 remote /usr/bin/x2gostartagent: successfully started X2Go agent session with ID XXX Oct 29 10:16:00 remote /usr/bin/x2gomountdirs[23127]: WARNING: mounting of /cygdrive/C/Users/___/spool failed Oct 29 10:19:04 remote /usr/bin/x2goresume-session: client <IP> has successfully resumed session with ID XXX Oct 29 10:19:13 remote /usr/bin/x2gomountdirs[9728]: WARNING: mounting of /cygdrive/C/___/spool failed Oct 29 10:19:32 remote /usr/bin/x2gosuspend-session: session with ID XXX has been suspended successfully Most of these messages indicate normal operation and shouldn't be reported by logcheck. This is usually achieved by adding a file containing a set of rules corresponding to messages generated by the server during normal operation in /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.* directories. Is such a set of rules available somewhere? Thanks in advance, Holger

x2godesktopsharing
by Marco Isella 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

Hi, I just discovered x2go while looking for an alternative to vnc. I got it working but I have not yet managed to share the same desktop between 2 users. If I understand it right I should install the x2godesktopsharing component. I followed the instructions found here (http://www.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:components:desktop-sharing) but there is no x2godesktopsharing candidate to install. The server is a ubuntu 12.10 and if I search for x2go there is no x2godesktopsharing found: marco@here:~$ sudo apt-cache search x2go x2goserver - X2Go server daemon scripts x2goagent - X2Go agent x2goclient - X2Go Client application (Qt4) x2goplugin - X2Go Client (Qt4) as browser plugin pinentry-x2go - Qt4-based PIN or pass-phrase entry dialog for x2goclient x2gothinclient - login daemon starting x2goclient in displaymanager mode x2gousbmount - clientside usb mass-storage device mounting x2gocdmanager - clientside daemon enabling automatic CD-Rom mounting x2gosmartcardrules - UDEV rules for smartcard readers python-x2go - Python module providing X2Go client API pyhoca-gui - Graphical X2Go client written in (wx)Python pyhoca-cli - Command line X2Go client written in Python x2goserver-extensions - X2Go server daemon scripts (extensions) plasma-widget-x2go - Plasma widget for control X2go sessions x2gothinclientmanagement - Management tools for X2Go thin client chroot server cups-x2go - Virtual X2Go printer for CUPS x2goserver-compat - X2Go server daemon scripts (backwards compatitbity to old client versions) x2golxdebindings - LXDE bindings for X2go x2goserver-printing - X2Go server daemon scripts (printing) x2goserver-xsession - X2Go server daemon scripts (Xsession runner) x2goserver-pyhoca - X2Go server daemon scripts (add-ons for pyhoca client) x2goserver-fmbindings - Generic (freedesktop-based) file manager bindings for X2Go python-x2go-doc - Python module providing X2Go client API (documentation) What I am missing?

run commands on the x2goclient
by Paul Daniels 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

Hi guys, I've been playing with X2go for a while now, and have a Thin Client Environment(TCE) that I PXE boot from, or copy to USB and boot via syslinux (after I've changed the initramfs.conf and regenerated the initrd so it boots locally rather than via nfs). But Although X2go works well, its still not fast enough for watching videos. My solution was to put mplayer on the TCE and pipe video to it at the moment with netcat, but Ill probably move to a multicast solution when I get all of the other issues sorted. So on the client I need to run the command netcat $SERVER $PORT | mplayer -display 0:0 - now whilst I can open up a console terminal, log into the x2goclient user and run the command, or write something that does the same it would be nice to run a command from within the x2go-session that does just that. Ive tried using x2goruncommand but it seems to kill of my currently running session. Is there a supported way to run a command locally, from withing an established x2go session, or do I have to code something up myself Thanks Paul Daniels

Translators needed (esp. French)
by Mike Gabriel 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

Hi all, the X2Go project is looking for someone who feels entitled to maintain the French translation of X2Go software projects (e.g. X2Go Client, PyHoca-GUI, ...). There currently is no French translation in X2Go applications and we would be happy to have that changed in the future. Please contact me via one of our lists or even privately. If you are interested in translating X2Go into your native language, please subscribe to this list... https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/x2go-i18n ... and ask for further instructions there. Current translations looked after are: Englisch German Russian Svedish Norwegian/Bokmal Dutch (PyHoca-GUI only) Spanish Danish (X2Go Client only) So anyone who wants to start working on his own language is very welcome to the project (actually, everyone who wants to contribute to X2Go is welcome ;-) ). Thanks, Mike -- DAS-NETZWERKTEAM mike gabriel, rothenstein 5, 24214 neudorf-bornstein fon: +49 (1520) 1976 148 GnuPG Key ID 0x25771B31 mail: mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de, http://das-netzwerkteam.de freeBusy: https://mail.das-netzwerkteam.de/freebusy/m.gabriel%40das-netzwerkteam.de.x…

Why doesn't the X2Go Client have XFCE? Isn't there a way to set up XFCE? Why doesn't PyHoca work? I launch a remote host, it asks for signon and that is approved, but then nothing. Manual launch, and nothing. Debian Testing with X2Go 3.99.3.0-0 -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Send your email first class
