SSH Proxy for OS X interface
by senrabdet＠aol.com 21 Dec '12

21 Dec '12

Hi All: We've started to use the SSH Proxy option on the x2go Windows client - very cool!. Just downloaded latest client for OS X, but don't see the Proxy server option. - Is this for windows only at present? Is an OS X version in the works? - Is there a way to simulate the proxy server option, possibly in a script? Any examples? Thx Ted

[X2Go-Announcement] New X2Go releases: pyhoca-gui, pyhoca-cli, python-x2go
by Mike Gabriel 20 Dec '12

20 Dec '12

Dear all, The X2Go Project is proud to announce a couple of new X2Go component releases: - pyhoca-gui (0.2.0.0) - pyhoca-cli (0.2.0.1) - python-x2go (0.2.0.3) All new packages are already available in our stable repositories (Debian, Ubuntu) within the next 24h. The Windows version of PyHoca-GUI also already has been built and provided on http://code.x2go.org/releases/. I personally am very proud to be able to present a long-waited-for major release of Python X2Go and PyHoca-GUI. Thanks again to Dick Kniep (http://www.lindix.nl) for sponsoring this piece of software. The latest API documentation of Python X2Go can be read here: http://code.x2go.org/doc/python-x2go Note for distro packagers: Python X2Go based applications have the full range of functionality when used with Paramiko 1.8.0 and above. For people you rely on flawless IPv6 functionality, I recommend installing python-gevent 1.0b1 (or above). light+love, Mike Python X2Go =========== python-x2go (0.2.1.1-0~x2go1) RELEASE; urgency=low * New upstream version (0.2.1.1): - Make sure that internal calls to _X2goClient__list_sessions are not overridden by other method definitions in classes that inherit from X2goClient class. (Fixes: #89). - Rewrite colour depth of 17bits to 16bits when invoking rdesktop. Relevant for X2Go-proxied RDP sessions started with PyHoca-GUI under Windows. - Handle control sessions being None in session list cache. - In cases where several session profiles connect to the same machine under the same user ID, we have to strictly differentiate between running/suspend sessions associated to the several connected session profiles. - Make connection disruptures more robust. -- Mike Gabriel <mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de> Tue, 18 Dec 2012 12:36:34 +0100 python-x2go (0.2.1.0-0~x2go1) RELEASE; urgency=low * New upstream version (0.2.1.0): - Prepare for staying compatible with new SSH proxy feature in X2Go Client. - Add sshproxy_port option to session (SSH proxy) options. - Allow smooth session profile migration, prefer <host>:<port> (set via sshproxy_host) for SSH proxy port detection. - Implementation of session profile parameters ,,sshproxysameuser'' and ,,sshproxysameauth''. - Fixing typos in __doc__ strings. - Add support for starting maximized session windows.

RHEL6 package should create /tmp/.X11-unix directory
by Burnce＠gmx.net 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

Hi all, After much hunting I found what the problem was runnung x2goserver on a freshly installed server. Apparently X2Go requires the /tmp/.X11-unix directory to exist with permissions 1777. Could you please see to it the creation of this directory and the permissions settings are performed by teh x2goserver package. Thanks, Burnce

Admintools and client-session-administration
by Jochen Schulz 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

Hello! We are extensively using X2go, and are very happy, that this solution exist. A we have several computers which can hold x2go sessions, it becomes more vital to administer these sessions from a central point. Of course there are x2golistsessions, x2goterminate-session and so on but would it be nice to have a simple GUI or at least a little bit more readable terminal-output? Also: The x2goclient doesn't seem to have a gui-part to administer suspended and running sessions. This for example would made it much easier to handle your running sessions. Especially, if you are using several different servers (This is all without the thinclient-environment in mind!) best regards Jochen

Package missing in the redhat repo: perl-File-BaseDir
by Burnce＠gmx.net 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

Hello, I have installed a recent version of x2goserver on a redhat machine and came across a dependency problem. It turns out that the package "perl-File-BaseDir" is a required dependency, but it is present neither in the official redhat repos, nor in the opensuse hosted RHEL6 repo. Could you please add it? Thenks, Best, Burnce

Q: Command Field in GUI & Way to use SSH config file?
by senrabdet＠aol.com 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

Hi All: We had a couple of quick questions: 1) Command Field in GUI: In the x2go GUI there is a "Command:" field. What is this for? It does not seem to be accessible if Gnome or KDE are selected. 2) Config File Does x2go use the ssh config file? If not, is there a way to get it to do so? We're looking for a way to pass parameters like we might do with ssh from the command line. Thanks, Ted

Configurable keybindings for x2go(agent)
by Alexander Wuerstlein 15 Dec '12

15 Dec '12

Hello, NX annoyingly adds hardcoded keybindings which overlap with e.g. GNOME's. Where in GNOME, Ctrl-Alt-t opens a new terminal, in NX and therefore in x2go, it closes the session. Therefore I hacked together configurable keybinding support for nxagent/x2goagent as described here: http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:components:nxagent_keyboard_shortcuts Currently this is experimental, so please test and report bugs, if there are no major breakages, you can expect it for version 3.5.0.17. Ciao, Alexander Wuerstlein.

X2go was working a while back, but now when I boot the client I just get a blank screen and this message: NXPROXY - Version 3.5.0 Copyright (C) 2001, 2010 NoMachine. See http://www.nomachine.com/ for more information. Info: Proxy running in client mode with pid '3476'. Session: Starting session at 'Sat Dec 15 09:56:54 2012'.

My desktop is XFCE, so I use a custom desktop and command "startfxce4". Everything worked fine previously. If I try "connect to local desktop" I get "no local desktop found. I am running client 3.99.2.2 I have the server packages installed (Ubuntu 12.2) but only the x2gocleansessions is running.

Num Lock problem with Windows client and Spanish keyboard
by Ricardo Díaz Martín 14 Dec '12

14 Dec '12

Hi, I got a issue with num lock keys when users connect to x2goserver in ubuntu 11.10 (last x2go windows client downloaded from x2go.org web). More of times the number keys in right side keyboards panel don't work. If you press 5, 0, ., enter in numeric pad work as expected but others work as num lock key was switched off. Some times every of them work as expected but some times not. I tried to set different keyboards layout in users x2goclient, set to blank and auto in keyboard model and keyboard layout fields, exec setxkbmap es after login, etc. but no success. Somebody knows anything about how to this issue? Thanks in advance. Regards, Ricardo Díaz
