critical issue: wrong display size
by Michael Korn 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Hello, I'm using Ubuntu 12.04. Locally I use Unity and a Gnome remote session. Since V. 4.0.0.1 I have this problem: In the properties of the remote session I have set a custom display size, but the remote session has always 1,920×1,080 (This is also the resolution of my display). My local unity environment needs some pixel for the taskbar in the top. Because of this there is not anymore enough place for the remote session, the taskbar in the bottom of Gnome is truncated. If I use the Fullscreen mode, the taskbars in the top and in the bottom are missing. I can see only the symbols (files and folders) on my desktop. I deleted the old x2go folders/profiles from my home, but it doesn't help. Thanks Michael

[X2Go-Announcement] New X2Go releases: x2goserver, x2goclient, nx-libs, x2godesktopsharing, x2golxdebindings, x2goplasmabindings, pinentry-x2go

Dear all, The X2Go Project is proud to announce a couple of new X2Go component releases: - X2Go Server (4.0.0.0) - X2Go Client (4.0.0.1) - NX (redistributed), Version 3.5.0.17 - X2Go Desktop Sharing (3.1.0.6) - X2Go LXDE Bindings (1.0.1.3) - Plasma Widget for X2Go (3.0.1.5) - Pinentry for X2Go (0.7.5.6) All new packages are already available in our stable repositories (Debian, Ubuntu). The Windows version of X2Go Client will be built and provided on http://code.x2go.org/releases/ within the next couple of days. With a little fortune we will also be able to provide an X2Go Client .dmg Image for Mac OS X. As you might have noticed we have bumped the version numbers of X2Go Server and X2Go Client to 4.0.0.x. These versions will be the basis for an upcoming bundle release (with long term support) of compatible X2Go components. As you can also see from the changelog entry of NX (redistributed), there has been quite some packaging work been done on that project. However, there also is a new upstream patch from Alexander Wuerstlein among the commits: it is now possible to flexibly configure nxagent's / x2goagent's key strokes. Visit http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:components:nxagent_keyboard_shortcuts for further details. Thanks to Alexander for this great contribution. I also would like to thank X2Go's great i18n team. We have translated x2goclient, plasma-widget-x2go, x2godesktopsharing and pyhoca-gui now into 7-9 languages. Great work folks!!! Languages available are: English, German, Russian, Dutch, Swedish, Bokmal (Norway), Spanish and Danish. Translators for other languages are absolutely welcome, please join up on our x2go-i18n mailing list (http://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/x2go-i18n) light+love, Mike X2Go Server =========== x2goserver (4.0.0.0-0~x2go1) RELEASE; urgency=low [ Jan Engelhardt ] * New upstream version (4.0.0.0): - Replace script x2gobasepath by script x2gopath that makes it much easier for distro packagers to tweak the installation paths of X2Go Server components.

Connecting Message
by Duan Joshua (CI/AFR3-SG) 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

Dear List, I would like to achieve the following with x2go: /when a user connects using either x2goclient or python x2go, a message will be displayed before he is logged in: "Welcome to terminal services, you will be connected in the next XXX seconds.". / What needs to be done to achieve this? Shall I do something at the clients level? or putting scripts into x2goserver-run-extensions? Thanks a lot for your tips. Cheers Joshua

Diskless Booting
by Thomas Guettler 03 Jan '13

03 Jan '13

Hi, I try to set up an environment where the user can choose between: - diskless booting an operating system (no x2go) - booting a small operating system and use x2go. I looked at the TCE documentation: http://www.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:components:tce Is this maintained and used in production? Unfortunately the set up explained there allows only one boot image. But I need other images. At least one with Ubuntu 12.04. For the non-x2go images I use this path: /tftpboot/os/IMAGE-NAME Is it possible to use scripts like x2gothinclientmanagement with a different path? Since the other images use ubuntu, it would be nice if the x2go image would use ubuntu, too. What do you use? A different way would be this: Don't use different boot-images, but use one boot image which gives you a login screen where you can choose between working local and working with x2go.

PyHoca Issues
by merc1984＠f-m.fm 03 Jan '13

03 Jan '13

Couple issues fellers: I have PyHoca set to Log In Automatically and Start New Session Automatically, but it is doing neither when I start it. Also when I tell PyHoca to connect to one server it always always says, "The authenticity of host [hex] can't be established. Are you sure you want to continue connecting?" When I ssh to this host it always asks the same thing. Why is the system never put it in known_hosts? My other x2go system doesn't have this problem. -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Faster than the air-speed velocity of an unladen european swallow
