Folder sharing does not work with x2goclient
by Emanuele Rocca 27 Nov '14

27 Nov '14

Hi list, While folder sharing works fine using pyhoca-cli, it does not work at all with x2goclient. This is what sshd says on the client side when trying to "share" a folder from the gui: May 8 13:55:43 uranus sshd[23908]: Connection from 127.0.0.1 port 51821 May 8 13:55:43 uranus sshd[23908]: Connection closed by 127.0.0.1 [preauth] mount's output on the server side does not show anything interesting. I am running Ubuntu precise (12.04), both on the client and the server. Do you have any hints on how to debug this further? Installed packages: ii cups-x2go 3.0.0.3-0~54~oneiric1 X2GO printer for CUPS ii python-x2go 0.1.1.9-0-0~612~oneiric1 Python module for X2go client support ii x2goagent 2:3.5.0.11-0~220~oneiric1 X2Go agent ii x2goclient 3.99.0.6-0~144~oneiric1 X2Go Client application (Qt4) ii x2gognomebindings 2.0.1.4-0~53~oneiric1 Description: x2gognomebindings (GNOME mimetypes for X2go) ii x2goserver 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 X2Go server daemon scripts ii x2goserver-compat 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 X2Go server daemon scripts (backwards compatitbity to old client versions) ii x2goserver-extensions 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 X2Go server daemon scripts (extensions) ii x2goserver-fmbindings 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 Generic (freedesktop-based) file manager bindings for X2Go ii x2goserver-printing 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 X2Go server daemon scripts (printing) ii x2goserver-pyhoca 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 X2Go server daemon scripts (add-ons for pyhoca client) ii x2goserver-xsession 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 X2Go server daemon scripts (Xsession runner) ii pyhoca-cli 0.1.4.2-0~108~oneiric1 A command line X2go client written in Python ii pyhoca-gui 0.1.0.10-0~487~oneiric1 A graphical X2go client written in (wx)Python ii x2goserver-pyhoca 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 X2Go server daemon scripts (add-ons for pyhoca client) Conf file: [20120503160857309] speed=3 pack=16m-jpeg quality=9 fstunnel=true export="/media:1;" iconvto=UTF-8 iconvfrom=ISO8859-1 useiconv=false fullscreen=false width=1024 multidisp=false display=1 height=768 dpi=96 setdpi=false xinerama=false usekbd=true layout=us type=pc105/us sound=true soundsystem=pulse startsoundsystem=true soundtunnel=true defsndport=true sndport=4713 print=true name=xxx icon=:icons/128x128/x2gosession.png host=host.example.org user=username key= sshport=22 autologin=false krblogin=false rootless=false applications=WWWBROWSER, MAILCLIENT, OFFICE, TERMINAL, gnome-session-fallback command=gnome-session-fallback rdpoptions= rdpserver= xdmcpserver=localhost

Mac OSX and keyboard
by Paul van der Vlis 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

Hello, Is X2goclient working on Mac OSX? I read some messages that there are keyboard problems. Not sure they are gone. Here is such a message, with a link to another message: http://www.mail-archive.com/x2go-user@lists.berlios.de/msg00632.html When the problem is fixed, is this also the case for the Lenny version of X2go? (I have a customer with Macs who does not want to upgrade because the office will be closed in a few months.) With regards, Paul van der Vlis. -- Paul van der Vlis Linux systeembeheer, Groningen http://www.vandervlis.nl

x2go server for windows
by Dmitri Chebotarov 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

Hello, I¹m looking for info on x2go server for windows. Is there a package available for XP/7/8/Server? I was in a NetApp class last week. We did our labs in a VM environment and used x2go to access RedHat and Windows 2012 VM, which worked nicely. I would like to try to implement x2go in my environment. I support a Virtual Computer Lab (VCL) at GMU and x2go looks very interesting as access method. Currently we use RDP protocol to access VMs - Windows and Linux (xRDP). -- Thank you, Dmitri Chebotarov VCL Sys Eng, Engineering & Architectural Support, TSD - Ent Servers & Messaging 223 Aquia Building, Ffx, MSN: 1B5 Phone: (703) 993-6175 | Fax: (703) 993-3404

wmctrl problems
by Jean-Francois Dagenais 07 Jan '14

07 Jan '14

Hi all, Running x2go server on ubuntu (12.04), and my terminal is a mac running XQuartz (with quartz-wm) and the Qt x2go client. I used the Published apps rootless and spawn a few windows from the server. Things run pretty smoothly and Im happy with the performance. The thing that hurts is related to window management. Heres a relevant output: $ echo $DISPLAY :50 $ wmctrl -l Cannot get client list properties. (_NET_CLIENT_LIST or _WIN_CLIENT_LIST) $ wmctrl -m Cannot get window manager info properties. (_NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK or _WIN_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK) Whereas if I run the same commands natively on the mac, XQuartz responds correctly to wmctrl. So the problem affects pretty much all tools related to window management I tried. I am no X11 expert, but I am a developer and very familiar with linux systems. Right now I just need a few pointers, any thoughts? Thanks in advance! /jfd

No sound in X2Go TCE (ATTN: @Mike)
by Stefan Baur 06 Jan '14

06 Jan '14

Hi list, I managed to get X2Go TCE running, by following the instructions on http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:advanced:tce:install Everything works fine, except for the sound. All my thin clients don't emit sound. Browsing through the list archive, I found a post from back in October where Mike said it happens due to a permission problem, and he posted two links to GIT where he had patched this (the first patch introduced a typo, which was fixed in the second patch). So I decided to give it a go and simply copy the x2gothinclient_create script from GIT over the one I already had on disk. Sadly, this just made things worse: after removing the chroot directory and rebuilding it with the new version of x2gothinclient_create, neither keyboard nor mouse work, so I can't even log in. Reverting back to the old script, rm'ing the chroot directory and running x2gothinclient_create again fixed that issue - but I still have no sound. Any hints? Which log or config file(s) should I post? -Stefan

distributing user settings
by Carl 02 Dec '13

02 Dec '13

Hello, I have recently setup a multi user x2go server, and I think it works great. I've got one issue though, that I would like to ask for help with or ideas about: When creating a session in the client, there's a lot of settings to fill out, so to tell a user how to set their client up I need to send a fairly long email, and it doesn't seem as easy to the user as it is once they are set up. With NX, I could copy a session settings file onto a CD along with the client software, tell the user to install the software and double click on the session file to login. They were then prompted only for username and password in a simple dialogue, and this was no bother at all to the user. (this was before NX4 was released with a very complicated user interface) I'd like to do something similar - find a way to make sure the user doesn't have to set colours and image format, click fullscreen, click to enable audio, set the link speed etc. And I want it to work both for Windows and Linux users. I've seen there's some other client software for x2go that I haven't tried, and maybe that's the solution - I will try shortly. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks :-) Best Regards, Carl

Preseeding Ubuntu remote-login-service.conf
by Kjetil Fleten 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

We are successfully using Mike's excellent guide to Unity Greeter with X2Go Remote Login Support. http://sunweavers.net/blog/unity-greeter-with-x2go-remote-login-support One of the things we want to do next, is to tweak the remote-login-service.conf so that username and password are passed to the UCCS-like WebUI of the X2Go Session Broker automaticly. I have tried add a line to the config file, but the syntax is obviously wrong: [Remote Login Service] Servers=MyUCCSTest [Server MyUCCSTest] Name=Remote Login URI=http://x2gobroker.localdomain:8080/uccs/inifile/ echo <mypassword> | thin-client-config-agent <myuserid> I have also tried a lot of other variations over the above, with no success. This test works: $ SERVER_ROOT=http://x2gobroker.localdomain:8080/uccs/inifile/ $ export SERVER_ROOT $ echo <mypassword> | thin-client-config-agent <myuserid> Can <mypassword> and <myuserid> be implemented in a similar way to the conf file ? Anyone that have a good tip ? -- Med vennlig hilsen / best regards Kjetil Fleten Fleten.net AS, Tyinvegen 5151, 2975 Vang i Valdres, Noreg Tlf +47 95861348, ORG nr. 999 542 018 (NO) Søndergade 27, 8740 Brædstrup, Danmark Tlf. +45 41153148 CVR. nr. 35479228 (DK) thats-IT(a)fleten.net, www.fleten.net <http://www.fleten.net>

Started getting weird error: Connection failed. Cannot open display "default display"
by Nicu Stiurca 26 Nov '13

26 Nov '13

Hi all, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post a problem like this. If it's not, kindly redirect me to the right place. The problem: I was working last night using x2go to remote into a server. I got disconnected, and upon trying to reconnect, I started encountering the following error: *Connection failed* Cannot open display "default display" That shows up in a pop-up window whenever I try to connect to the server. In the console, I see the following text right before the error window pops up: start new ssh connection to server: "<my server>" : "<my port>" krb: false ssh connection ok continue normal x2go session Some additional info: I can still do normal X forwarding on the server with ssh -X. Server is running OpenSUSE 12.3. Clients are running Ubuntu 13.04, 13.0, and OpenSUSE 12.3. I get the exact same error from all 3 client computers I've tried. Any ideas? -- Nicu Știurcă \\//./ Live long and prosper.

Is it possible to run the X2Go PXE Server (for X2Go TCE) in a Linux-VServer environment?
by Stefan Baur 26 Nov '13

26 Nov '13

Hi list, I tried to install the X2Go PXE Server in a VServer environment. This failed for several reasons: 1) Linux-VServer isn't included in Wheezy any more, so I had to try it using Squeeze. 2) The nfs-kernel-server package cannot be installed in a VServer environment - this is a general limitation of Linux-VServer (http://linux-vserver.org/Frequently_Asked_Questions_scratch#NFS-server) Said FAQ and "apt-cache show nfs-kernel-server" point to the packages nfs-user-server and unfs3 as alternatives. However, in Squeeze, only the nfs-kernel-server package is available, but neither nfs-user-server nor unfs3 are available. 3) unfs3 is available in sid, but only for the m68k platform, not for i386 or amd64. 4) I can't find nfs-user-server anywhere on packages.debian.org (for any release), which means either the package name is wrong or the package no longer exists. So it seems I'm stuck. Other PXE boot solutions use http/ftp instead of nfs and pass along the client root file system as squashfs. I'm not sure if switching to that method would help much, though, as it means having to load the entire root file system into the client's RAM. At present, the file system needs almost 850 MB of space, which would not fit into my clients - they have between 256 MB and 512 MB. Any suggestions what I could try next? -Stefan

Re: [X2Go-User] Latency Issues

Mike, Shah et al I've used libturbo-jpeg for a couple years with x2go after I first learned about it. You might check your Distro... but at least for Ubuntu I believe libturbo-jpeg is the default installed by Ubuntu now. */NOTE: in the following - I _did have to_ install "libjpeg-turbo-progs" separately /* On my Ubuntu 13.10 x64 system if I run Synaptic and search for "libturbo" I find: */Independent JPEG Group's JPEG runtime library (dependency package) /* *//* */libjpeg8 dependency package, depending on libjpeg-turbo8./* You might do the same on your Distro to find out what libjpeg is being used today.
