Using x2go with on Ubuntu Server with Encrypted Home Folders
by senrabdet＠aol.com 03 Feb '12

03 Feb '12

Hi All: We are trying to use x2go connected to a Ubuntu server "desktop user" account where we have encrypted the Home folder for that user. We can connect just fine, though we go through a couple of error screens we get to one where we can enter a password. We enter the user password and get in just fine. Q: is there a way to get directly to that log in screen and/or store the password locally so we can use the icon on the desktop feature? - There is an option/checkbox to "Try auto login (ssh-agent or default ssh key)" but we think that's not the answer. - Given that we can log in, we assume this isn't about using ssh keys with passwords, that the password in question is the user account/login one that is related to the encrypted Home folder. We searched through the user and dev archives, and apologize if this is already answered. Thanks!

[X2go-Announcement] X2Go release day: x2goserver, x2goclient, x2gothinclient, nx-libs (incl. x2goagent)
by Mike Gabriel 03 Feb '12

03 Feb '12

Dear all, The X2Go Project it proud to announce a couple of new X2Go component releases: - x2goserver (3.0.99.10) - x2goclient (3.99.0.6) - x2gothinclient (1.0.1.5) - nx-libs incl. x2goagent (3.5.0.9) All new packages will be available in our stable repositories (Debian, Ubuntu) within the next 24h. The windows version of x2goclient will probably be available tomorrow, as well. For x2goserver and x2goclient these releases will be the last releases in the 3.0.99.x series (x2goserver) and 3.99.0.x series (x2goclient). Today Oleksandr Shneyder has found a conceptual bug in the X2Go session hand shake that now is already fixed in the latest development code. To denote this change in session handshake protocol, minor version numbers will be raised for the next releases of those projects: - x2goserver, next release will be 3.1.0.0 - x2goclient, next release will be 3.99.1.0 Older clients will be fully compatible with newer servers (and vice versa). The fix addresses a session resume failure that occurred every once in a while (quite rare, but annoying). For the code change please refer to the commits in X2Go Git addressing this: X2Go Server... http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goserver.git;a=commitdiff;h=63556d25c3a86f1… X2Go Client... http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goclient.git;a=commitdiff;h=3f4eab56698f439… Python X2Go...

Review: changes and features in X2Go
by Oleksandr Shneyder 03 Feb '12

03 Feb '12

Hello X2Go users, I want to describe some changes we made in X2Go recently. == Multi display support features. == There are two new features in X2Go to support desktops with more then one physical display. 1. Run X2Go Session in "full screen" mode on one of several physical displays. With this feature you can use one of your physical monitors to display X2Go session in "full screen" mode. On this photo you can see a Windows 7 notebook with a connected VGA monitor running X2Go Session on display 2: http://www.x2go.org/_media/news:two_sess.png You can configure this feature using Session Preferences dialog in X2Go client: http://www.x2go.org/_media/news:multidisp_set.png Push "Identify all displays" button to find out the numbers of a physical displays: http://www.x2go.org/_media/news:ident_dsip.png 2. Using two or more physical displays as one large virtual display (Xinerama) The advantage of Xinerama feature is to only maximize windows to the dimensions of the active physical display. This can be very useful not only for thinclients with more then one physical displays, but also if user stretch their X2Go sessions over more then one display in "window" mode. X2Go Session running 3 maximized LibreOffice windows is stretched over 3 physical displays: http://www.x2go.org/_media/news:xinerama.png Xinerama configuration of X2Go session will be automatically updated every time when user moving or resizing his X2Go Session window. ==Verifying if port is free before resuming X2Go Session == On start of an X2Go session 3 tcp ports for ssh tunnels (graphic, sound, sshfs) are reserved. The values of these ports are stored in the X2Go session database and used by X2Go clients every time an X2Go session gets resumed. Sometimes it can happen that one of these ports is already used by another application after the session had been suspended. As result, X2Go client will be unable to resume such session or start sound or sshfs tunnel. To avoid this problem X2Go server (>= 3.1.0.0) will verify if these ports are still unused before the session will be resumed. In other case new ports will be reserved. The new port values will be updated in database and sent to the X2Go client. IMPORTANT: Older versions of X2Go client will be compatible with newest X2Go servers. If ports have changed between suspend and resume of a session, older x2goclients will try to reconnect and fail. But on the next attempt, X2Go client will retrieve the updated port values from the X2Go session database. regards, Alex -- Oleksandr Shneyder Dipl.
