Scientific Linux 6 XFCE issue
by James M. Pulver 28 Jan '16

28 Jan '16

It seems that when we run XFCE or custom desktop xfce4-session, we get the same result over X2Go for XFCE - one panel, that is empty. This is not what we get logging into XFCE on the local console of the computer. Google shows this is often an issue on Ubuntu derivatives, or was several years ago. Has anyone else had this issue on RHEL derivatives? Any idea why it doesn't seem to get the expected panel settings? -- James Pulver CLASSE Computer Group Cornell University

newbie questions and some answers

It seems that startlxde is part of lxde-common, which is not part of Lubuntu. So if you installed Lubuntu OS you don't have startlxde, whereas if you installed say Ubuntu Server and then added LXDE, you do have startlxde. Anyway I installed lxde-common in Lubuntu, and it all started working. Except the user I get logged in as, doesn't have the settings adjustments I had previously created. This is something to do with /home/username/.config/lxsession/ having both /Lubuntu/ and /LXDE/ folders. It wasn't too time-consuming to set up lxpanel the way I like it, and modify /LXDE/autostart to match /Lubuntu/autostart . I guess I will have to do that 4 times - 2 clients (with screens and keyboards) x 2 servers (headless). I expect this could all be fixed up at the developers' end by adding a LUBUNTU entry to the dropdown list for Session Type, ( and a new set of bindings ?) This needs to be better explained in the blurb too. That just leaves the armhf problem. I have found some hints on building, but I don't know what machine was being used that did it in 1 hour - building wxWidgets took 11 hours for me, and needed a big swapfile too. It would be much better if someone could do it once, centrally, and then maintain an armhf repository. Anyway, x2go works nicely and I'll be sticking with it over x11vnc.

I have 4 machines on my LAN, all running Lubuntu 14.04. 2 of them run headless. One of those has armhf architecture - OrangePi PC is a true amazing piece of kit for $15 All are currently running sshd and x11vnc. x11vnc is not a "real" server as it runs under a logged in user account, so the headless machines have to autologin, which I don't like. So I have installed x2goserver v4.0.5.0, x2golxdebindings, and x2goclient on 3 machines successfully, and set up session info for any machine to access any other. But when x2go client tries to connect, it gets through SSH Key negotiation, it brings up a dark grey screen with x2go logo, and then stops "Unable to execute: startlxde". "mlocate startlxde" doesn't find any files. x2goserver status is up and running. I can't find any x2go.log files, but syslog has: x2goclient[12543]: segfault at 0 ip 00000000004b29ee sp 00007ffc1711ac30 error 4 in x2goclient[400000+25a000] I'm at a loss as to what to do next. Is there a repo for x2go on armhf? A diagram of the architecture of x2go modules would be good.
