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

"Can't load translator (:/x2godesktopsharing_en_us) ! Can't load translator (:/qt_en_US) !" Than when I right click on the x2go Desktop Sharing taskbar icon and select activate desktop sharing,it crashes,disappears,and leaves this error.

Big screen problem
by Timo 30 Sep '13

30 Sep '13

Dear x2go-user, I bought a big 2560x1440 screen (big in my world). Remote system have a 1920x1200 screen. I tried to go full screen but noticed that I can't change the remote desktop resolution to more than 1920x1200. So I can't really go full screen. Is there something I haven't noticed? Where does that limit come from? Is it really the size of the remote physical screen or just coincidentally the same geometry? Now, that I'm practically forced to work in a window, I'm really missing a feature like there is in VirtualBox: You can grab mouse and keyboard into the virtual desktop. I'm mostly missing ALT-TAB functionality inside the remote desktop window. I wish that some day someone have the time and interest to code such a feature. Despite of those little annoyances X2Go have served me very nicely quite a long time now - thanks. -- Timo

Installing x2go client on Fedora 18
by Rodney Sparapani 26 Sep '13

26 Sep '13

Hi Gang: I spent several hours over the last couple of days (successfully!!) installing x2go on Fedora 18 based on the tips provided at wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:installation:x2goclient For whatever reason, I needed to install a lot more packages. But, first, one of the file names has changed, i.e. wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mand… Here are the additional packages... wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mand… wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mand… wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mand… wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mand… yum install libgnutls28-3.0.21-1-mdv2012.0.i586.rpm libcups2-1.5.3-2-mdv2012.0.i586.rpm libldap2.4_2-2.4.31-1-mdv2012.0.i586.rpm libopenssl1.0.0-1.0.1c-1-mdv2012.0.i586.rpm wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mand… wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mand… wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mand… wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mand… yum install libqtcore4-4.8.2-2-mdv2012.0.i586.rpm libqtgui4-4.8.2-2-mdv2012.0.i586.rpm libqtnetwork4-4.8.2-2-mdv2012.0.i586.rpm libqtsvg4-4.8.2-2-mdv2012.0.i586.rpm Everything works so far. This is a new laptop and there is one error that pops up. I'm sure this is something that I have done (or not done), but I see: Can't read host rsa key:/etc/ssh/ssh_host_key_rsa_key.pub I guess I need to generate this with ssh-keygen, correct? However, after looking at the man page, I can't seem to figure this out. Is this related to Certificates? Any help will be appreciated. -- Rodney Sparapani, PhD Manager of Statistical & Computational Operations Center for Patient Care and Outcomes Research (PCOR) Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW), Milwaukee, USA http://www.linkedin.com/in/rodneysparapani

No RHEL5 x2goclient?
by Kermit Short 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

Since I can't install the x2goserver on RHEL5, I was hoping to at least install a client that will get some users to RHEL6/Ubuntu machines. When I try to yum install x2goclient I get a message that no x2goclient package exists. Sure enough when I browse the repo, there is no x2goclient package. I can't even install pyhoca-gui because it needs things from x2goclient (per the README at least). Anyone have any alternatives? -Kermit Short

Re: [X2Go-User] X2Go-User Digest, Vol 37, Issue 12

Yes, it might be a lot of work, but a worthy one: lots and lots of devices come with Android. I have wished so many times that I could use it over Android to control my servers. @Mike: Isn't there a functionality that lets you run an quasi app on a webserver that then allows you to use a browser to emulate an X2goclient? I have heard that you did such functionality and that it is finished. That would be the solution: just run a apache webserver and then on Android connect to the webserver with a browser and use X2goclient like this. > you would run into problems there already. Next up would be code to control > when to show an on-screen keyboard, and translating touches on the screen > A hardware keyboard would be a must (bluetooth), as otherwise you will lose all screen real estate to the keyboard. But talking about Android also means Tablets and on a 10 inch Tablet, X2go would be a totally wonderful thing to use. Considering how many devices exist that run Android, the "market" would be huge. You may even be able to charge for the app (like 1 or 2 dollars) as the X2goserver is already free and totally amazing to use. Often, Android users are convenience users, lazier than PC or Laptop users and will preferably shell out some cash before looking around for a free alternative that needs more work. And I would definitely buy it for 1 or 2 dollars, it would be well worth it. (providing a free trial version that is limited to 5 minutes for a session so people can try it out would work great) > to mouse input.

My Gingerbread (2.3) Ice cream Sandwich (4.0) and Jelly Bean (4.2) Android all supported plugging in a mouse and keyboard via USB connector, it just treats it as HID, and simulates it, so you can use the cursor keys to more from app icon to app icon or ESC to go back, as well as getting a mouse pointer to click on stuff. I was amazed how dynamic this works. Anyway, for the short term, the webserver solution should work easier. Regards, Markus

Re: [X2Go-User] Session resume fails with AFS home directories
by Sebastian Flothow 18 Sep '13

18 Sep '13

I did some further testing, and the resume failures are indeed due to missing AFS tokens. When suspending a session, the SSH connection is closed, sshd will call pam_close_session(), which means that pam_krb5 and pam_afs_session will delete the user's ticket/token (resp.). The session therefore loses access to the home directory and appears to freeze up, preventing it from being resumed. Both pam_krb5 and pam_afs_session accept retain_after_close as a parameter, which disables the delete-on-close behavior. With this parameter set, it becomes possible to resume sessions, unless the AFS token has expired. This solves at least the case where the user reconnects quickly (eg. after a short network outage), but it still means sessions will become unresumable when left unused for a few days. I guess the only way to avoid this is to not store session data in the home directory. Can X2go be configured such that it uses eg. /tmp or /var/lib for this purpose?

Mac OS X 10.8.3 x2goclient 4.0.1.x session keyboard input issue
by Paul Freeman 16 Sep '13

16 Sep '13

Hi, I am running the latest x2goclient (4.0.1.x) for Mac OS X (10.8.3) and have noticed an unusual problem relating to keyboard input when starting a configured session for the second time. The first time a session is started, the username and password can be typed but when you exit the session then launch it again (without exiting x2goclient) keyboard keystrokes do not appear in the username and password fields. If you exit x2goclient then start it again it works but only once. In case it helps, I noticed I can paste text into the field. Has anyone else observed this? I have tried using the latest stable release of the X server, XQuartx 2.7.4 and the latest beta release 2.7.5_rc2 with the same results. I did not want to lodge a bug report yet in case it was something particular to my installation or setup.
