x2goclient session icons not working
by Will Wagner 23 Nov '16

23 Nov '16

Hello, I have upgraded to 4.0.4.0 on win32. It's a minor thing but if I now set a session icon for a connection it is not displayed and I get blank instead. Is there something I need to do to get this to work? Thanks Will

Disabling sound
by Troels Arvin 14 Sep '15

14 Sep '15

Hello, Setup: RHEL 7 server with x2goserver 4.0.1.19-3.el7. The server's syslog is receiving heaps of messages like this: Aug 26 20:38:03 servername pulseaudio[11023]: [pulseaudio] main.c: User- configured server at localhost:30004, refusing to start/autospawn There's no need to support audio in this setup. So: Can I server-side configure x2go to completely disable sound? -- Regards, Troels Arvin <troels(a)arvin.dk> http://troels.arvin.dk/

Session type: Connect to local desktop -- issues with scaling
by René Genz 14 Sep '15

14 Sep '15

Dear all, at first the situation I encounter: The X2Go server is: a computer with two screens: - operating system: Fedora 22 x86_64 - big screen (22" widescreen): 1680x1050 px - small screen (19"): 1280x1024 px - software: * X2Go server 4.0.1.19-3.fc22 * "KDE Plasma Workspaces" aka KDE5 aka KF5 The X2Go client is: a notebook (Apple MacBook) with the following specifications: - built-in screen: 1440x900 px - operating system: Mac OS X 10.8.5 - software: * XQuartz 2.7.7 * X2Go client 4.0.5.0 The X2Go client software is configured like this: - Session -- Session type: Connect to local desktop - Connection -- Connection speed: ADSL - Connection -- Compression: 4k-png - Input/Output -- Display: custom: 1440x874 Now the problems: If height of screen resolution on X2Go server session is '>= 874 px' you have to maximize window of X2Go client to see. That scales the content of X2Go window and text cannot be read. That can be tested with: 1. log in to X2Go server using above configuration - enable big screen - or use maximum resolution of small screen 2. reconnect with X2Go client to X2Go server If height of screen resolution on X2Go server session is '< 874 px' everything is fine. That means: 1. log in to X2Go server using above configuration 2. disable big screen 3. set resolution of small screen to 1156x856 px 4. reconnect with X2Go client to X2Go server However, the reduced resolution has the drawback of limited overview. The use case is: resuming local session with X2Go. All that is required to reproduce the problem is: - a big screen on the X2Go server that you connect to from an X2Go client that has a screen with smaller screen resolution - the session type must be 'Connect to local desktop' If a native X2Go session (f.e. session type: XFCE) is used this problem does not occur. This does not resume the local session, though. My failed attempts to solve the issues: I tried many different settings in X2Go Client to no avail. I read the documentation and found: http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:faq:start#ubuntu_s_and_fedora_s_kde_won_t… which does not make a difference to me. Furthermore, I found: http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:advanced:nx-keyboard-shortcuts ... List of possible ''action'' attributes left up right down which should move the viewport, according to: /etc/x2go/keystrokes.cfg on the X2Go server. I could not get that working on Mac OS X. Even with simplified shortcuts, like F7. I modified the keyboard shortcuts and restart the X2Go server to no avail. There is no other keystrokes.cfg file used. Has someone used the 'move viewport' functionality on Mac OS X? Am I doing something wrong? Shall I file a bug report? The problem is reproducable on 'Mac OS X 10.10' with a screen resolution of 1280x800 px. I tried to reproduce the problem on the same notebook with Windows 7 32 bit. A native X2Go session with XFCE session type works flawlessly. No issues with X2Go client window scaling. However, upon connecting to the X2Go server (KF5 as well as XFCE session) with session type 'Connect to local desktop' an error message appears: VcXsrv windows xserver (X2Go/Arctica Builds) --- VcXsrv windows xserver (X2Go/Arctica Builds) has stopped working Windows can check online for a solution to the problem. [Check online for a solution and close the program] [Close the program] [View problem details] (details snipped) Shall I file a bug report? -- Kind regards, René

Questions regarding mate/video quailty
by Harald Heigl 13 Sep '15

13 Sep '15

Hi everyone, I have following szenario: - server: Fedora 22 with gnome 3.16 (and mate) - client cubietruck (mini client like raspberry) - connected via 1Gb-LAN-cable - using LAN quality and no compression (but I also tried 16MB-jpg with no difference) 1) As I read in the docu, gnome 3.12+ is not supported, are there any plans in the near future? 2) After installing mate on the server, I didn't see an option "mate" on the client (4.0.1), only gnome, kde, lxde, xfce, so I choose "other desktop" (don't know if it's called exactly so, cause I have a german interface) and mate-session as parameter. Is this the correct way to use mate? 3) And this is my main point: Working seems to be fine so far, but when I start a video in mate (over x2go) it opens "parole media player" (seems to use gstreamer) and it says: "gstreamer backend error - Configured videosink video is not working". If I start videos with vlc they come up but are really slow und showing only each 5 seconds or so. If I use nomachine v4 they are not as fluent as if I sit in front of my "server", but at least they are acceptable. I don't have the gstreamer problems there. Is there something I can configure, does someone know this problem? videos I tested with are h.264 encoded if that matters. Thanks in advance, Harald

use of: x2goclient -- Session preferences -- Session -- Path
by René Genz 29 Aug '15

29 Aug '15

Hi, since x2goclient-4.0.3.1-* there is a 'Path' line below the icon at X2Go client -- Session preferences -- Session -- Path What is this line and the corresponding button used for? Neither could I find any documentation about it nor does the source code help me understand its purpose. Thanks a lot for enlightenment. -- Kind regards, René

restricting x2go to published applications
by Andy Balholm 28 Aug '15

28 Aug '15

I would like to set up an x2go server where users can use only one application; they shouldn’t be able to get a full desktop session. I assume I would set up that application as a published application, but how can I disable full-session logins? Andy

Use an usb mass storage
by "BOTZ Franck (Administrateur Systèmes et Résea ux) - DDT 67/SIDSIC/Pôle Infra" 25 Aug '15

25 Aug '15

Hi ! I use thinclients (HP T620) with the embedded OS (HP ThinPro) I install the x2goclient (4.0.1.1) on it. My broker (ubuntu server 14.04, x2gobroker : 0.0.3.1) works fine and my server (xubuntu 14.04, x2goserver : 4.1.0.0) too (PPA nightly build). I can open session trough winbind authentification and everything works well. Next step is to allow the possibility of plugging a usb mass storage on the thinclient and connect it on the session wich is open on the x2goserver. It is possible ? If yes, how ? Thanks a lot for your anwer Regards. Franck
