intermitent behaviour: freezes on status connecting
by Tiago 26 Feb '15

26 Feb '15

Hi, I am using X2go 4.0.3.1 client on Windows 7 and the following version on a Centos 6.4 server: x2goagent: 3.5.0.27 x2goserver: 4.0.1.13 x2goserver-extensions: 4.0.1.13 x2goserver-fmbindings: 4.0.1.13 x2goserver-xsession: 4.0.1.13 X2go has been working stably for months but on average it takes me 2 attempts to resume a KDE session. Half the time I just get a "status: connecting" and no messages on the log window. I then have to restart the client. Is this a known problem or could people please suggest how to debug it? Thanks, tiago

use ssh proxy with x2go firefox plugin
by nicolas husson 24 Feb '15

24 Feb '15

Hello! I'm trying to access a distant x2goServer where a x2go plugin is running with apache2. On this server some client computer with x2goPlugin is connected with reverse ssh. >From my own computer, with the application x2goClient, I succeed to be connected to the clients computers through my distant x2goServer and control remotely the clients computers connected to it. I copy the session file of my x2goclient inside the /var/www of my server, in the part x2goconfig and add "server= @Serverx2goIp". Then when I reach the web server of my x2goServer and launch the config It failed with the error 'connection timed out'. I tried to look at the package send, apparently the package send from my own computer with x2goclient are not the same as using x2go browser plugin. So my question is any idea why it not works? And also, is it possible to use ssh proxy of the session file with x2go browser plugin? It seems not. Best Regard. Nicolas.

PyHoca-GUI: Logon script for published apps
by Milan Knížek 24 Feb '15

24 Feb '15

Hello, I'll would like to have some scripts run after login to the server (through PyHoca-GUI, neither an app or full desktop is autorun). (In the particular case, it should add keys to the kernel keyring for the given session so that the user is able to access network CIFS multiuser-mounts via systemd.automount just by accessing the mount point). What is the correct location to drop the script (bash)? I can see /usr/lib/x2go/extensions/post-start.d exists: is it intended for this purpose? If so, is it functional to use the equivalent structure in /etc/x2go (system-wide) or even /home/user/.x2go directories?

Testers Wanted: PyHoca-GUI for Windows 0.5.0.4-20150125
by Michael DePaulo 19 Feb '15

19 Feb '15

Hello X2Go users, See the previous email I sent below. PyHoca-GUI 0.5.0.4 was just released with very few changes compared to 0.5.0.3. So I will not be making any new 0.5.0.3 builds. I did manage to fix the bug with Pageant authentication (bug #767) after 0.5.0.4 was released. So here's a build of 0.5.0.4 with the Pageant fix: 0.5.0.4-20150125 http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/pyhoca-gui/releases/0.5.0.4-2015… This build was built from the 0.5.0.4-mswin branch. http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=pyhoca-gui.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/0.5.0.… -Mike#2 On Sat, Jan 24, 2015 at 12:00 PM, Michael DePaulo <mikedep333(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hello X2Go users, > > It's been a long time since a stable version of PyHoca-GUI for Windows > was released. > (.0.4.0.8 was released on 2013-08-27) > > I have started maintaining PyHoca-GUI for Windows.

keyboard remapping not working
by Q 19 Feb '15

19 Feb '15

Hi everyone, I have remapped the capslock key to control keys on all my computers, also I am using xcape so a short press of the capslock key will send an escape character. In x2go all the remapping and xcape stuff are not working. I have tried to kbd-type to auto and not set it at all in the pyhoca-cli. Is it possible to send the key generated in the client side unmodified to the server? Below is what I got by googling, but I am still unclear how to make my setup work. Thank you! The server now offers three modes for configuring the session's keyboard settings: 1. no change via client -> configure your keyboard setup through desktop tools, e.g. gnome-keyboard-properties 2. set model and layout through x2goclient -> use -type parameter of nxagent/x2goagent to set the keyboard model/type -> x2goclient + pyhoca-gui run setxkbmap -layout <layout> after session startup -> pyhoca-gui additionally runs setxkbmap -variant <variant> after session startup (new session profile: ,,variant''). ---> RECOMMENDED for x2goclient 3. NEW: autodetect the client-side keyboard layout through NX -> set the keyboard model/type to ,,auto'' (instead of pc104/us etc.) -> nxagent will create a file ~/.x2go/<session>/keyboard with all client-side keyboard settings -> x2goruncommand and x2goresume-session will call a new script: called x2gosetkeyboard -> x2gosetkeyboard will reset the keyboard settings and set all settings as found in the keyboard file

Please subscribe to x2go-projects to receive project-related information

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everyone, a short while ago, we created a new mailing list for project-related information: http://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-project In the beginning, we crossposted information sent to x2go-project to X2Go-Dev and to a lesser degree also to X2Go-User. This was a "grace period" to ease transition. I would like to ask everyone that from now on, project-related mails are only sent to x2go-project, so x2go-dev regains its focus on development issues and x2go-user is for usage-related questions again. If you would like to reply to this mail, please reply on x2go-project only. (I have set a corresponding reply-to, but some mail clients might choose to ignore that.)

Re: [X2Go-User] Preview of X2Go Client 4.0.3.2 available
by Luc Turbide 18 Feb '15

Hi again, I found my problem with Mac and Shared folder and printing. We use different SSH port number on x2goserver (not 22) but Mac client use 22 port number. In Preferencess on X2Goclient on Mac, it was not 22 on Clientside SSH port but the special server port number. I change-it for 22 and now everything work! I have Share Folder and Printing client side... Thank again, Luc Turbide System manager for Astronomical group at University of Montreal. -----Message d'origine----- From: Luc Turbide Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2015 9:06 AM To: Mihai Moldovan Subject: Re: Preview of X2Go Client 4.0.3.2 available Hi Mihai, Thank a lot. The preview version look like very stable. I use Macbook Air with 10.10.2 on CentOS6.6 and CentOS7 server. I test MATE, KDE and Xfce without problem for connection or freezing. But I still have problem with Shared Folder and Printing. Is-it normal or I have to fix something on my side? On the same servers, I use Linux and Windows X2Go Client without problem (share folder and printing). With Windows/Linux Client, I saw 2 drives mount on my server in /tmp/.x2go-XXX... Spool and media/disk. Those drive are not mount with Mac client but server try to mount it. If I use "df", the command freeze and I need to KILL the df command in other terminal. My ssh keys are OK on my Mac. Thank again, I will now send that good news to my Mac users.

X2go Desktop Environment Sessions Freeze upon interaction
by Ferdinando Romano 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

Hello, My server instance is on Ubuntu 14.04 and this problem happens regardless of client OS ( I have tried the client on Archlinux and Windows 7). I am successfully able to connect to my x2go server using the "Single Application" Session Type and I don't have any issues with it at all. If I choose LXDE, KDE, or MATE as my Session Type, then the desktop displays properly, and as I hover my cursor over different icons, they highlight and then return to normal as the cursor moves on. However, in any of these desktop sessions, once I click on a menu, the menu appears but then the entire desktop interface freezes. I am not able to get it to respond any further except maybe if I Disconnect the session and then try to resume it. If I do, then the display might have progressed a little further toward what it should show (e.g. highlight the first menu entry) but the desktop is still unresponsive. I checked the /var/log/syslog with debug logging level but didn't see anything helpful. I can post the output here or to something like Pastebin if desired. Thank you for your help and let me know if you need any more information. Fred Romano

How do I run /etc/x2go/Xsession for PUBLISHED in a non-hacky way

Hi all x2goserver-4.0.1.18, Gentoo I'm trying to run /etc/x2go/Xsession to centralize environment configuration, esp. via Xresources, loading profile etc. I currently am not able to find any other way than hacking x2goruncommand in the following way.
