Clipboard stops working
by Norm Green 11 Mar '19

11 Mar '19

Hello List, I find that the clipboard stops working after a period of time. Specifically, copying from the windows desktop to the x2go window doesn't work because x2go thinks the clipboard is empty. I am copying from emacs on Windows to emacs on Linux. It doesn't matter how many times I select and copy on windows, x2go does not pass the clipboard contents to emacs on Linux. But if I disconnect from the server and reconnect, it works, using the same emacs windows. This is with x2go client 4.1.1.1 running on Win7, but it also happened on previous x2go client versions (4.0.x) . x2go server 4.0.1.20 is running on Ubuntu 16.04 Is this a known bug? Any way to fix it? Norm Green

Connection timeout over high latency network links
by Brent Roman 08 Mar '19

08 Mar '19

I'm trying to run a remote X-session on a satellite link. The ping latency is typically 800ms. I have no trouble ssh'ing to the remote machine, but, whenever I try to connect a remote session via the x2goclient, it ends within a couple seconds with a dialog box saying: Timeout connecting to raven raven is the remote hostname. Both machines are running Debian Jessie. The x2goclient is version 4.4.1.0 Is there some connection timeout parameter that I could increase to make it possible to use high latency links? Is this fixed in newer versions? Thanks! -- Brent Roman MBARI Software Engineer Tel: (831) 775-1808 7700 Sandholdt Road, Moss Landing, CA 95039 mailto:brent@mbari.org http://www.mbari.org/~brent

x2go on Windows 10 - crashes on connect - problem libssh version
by Gerhard Wiesinger 15 Jan '19

15 Jan '19

Hello, The following versions crash on connect from Windows 10 to a Fedora 28 server: x2goclient-4.1.0.0-2017.03.11-setup.exe x2goclient-4.1.1.1-2018.03.01-setup.exe x2goclient-4.1.2.0-2018.06.22-setup.exe x2goclient-4.1.2.2-2018.11.30-6596556-setup.exe The last good known version is: x2goclient-4.0.5.2-2016.09.20-setup.exe UAC is disabled on this computer When I copy libssh.dll from x2goclient-4.0.5.2-2016.09.20 to the newer version, everything works well. Solution and summary: x2goclient-4.1.2.2-2018.11.30-6596556-setup.exe with libssh.dll from x2goclient-4.0.5.2-2016.09.20-setup.exe is OK!!!!!!!! OK: libssh 0.7.0 NOK: libssh 0.7.4 Can you please update libssh to https://www.libssh.org/files/0.8/libssh-0.8.6.tar.xz (and include Pageant support, fixes also some security leaks) OpenSSL upgrade to 1.1.1a would also be fine (currently 1.0.2n is installed, one year old). If I should test something let me know. Thank you. Ciao, Gerhard

Tooltips, pull-down menus, and context menus too far away
by Tristan Miller 09 Jan '19

09 Jan '19

Dear all, I've recently started experiencing a problem when running single applications over X2Go. Quite often small windows such as tooltips, pull-down menus, and context menus get positioned far, far away from where they are supposed to be. For example, I'm currently writing this message in Claws Mail; when I activate the "Edit" pull-down menu, the menu doesn't appear under the menu bar but rather way over on my second screen. (I use a dual-monitor setup.) The problem happens with a lot of different applications, but not always consistently. For instance, sometimes I might hover my pointer over a widget that causes a tooltip to display halfway across the screen, and a minute or two later I'll do the same thing but this time the tooltip will display right over the widget like it's supposed to. Is this a bug in X2Go or in my window manager? I'm running the X2Go Server 4.1.0.4 on openSUSE Tumbleweed, and connecting from X2Go Client 4.1.1.1 on openSUSE Leap 15.0, using KDE Plasma 5.12.6. (I can't upgrade the connecting system at the moment because the x2goclient package seems to have disappeared from the repository at <http://packages.x2go.org/opensuse/15.0/main/x86_64/>.)

X2Go client compatibility with Debian 9 Buster
by Colin E 26 Dec '18

26 Dec '18

X2Go Client: v4.0.3.0 Client OS: Windows 7 Pro 64bit I've been using X2Go to give me a windowed access method for my headless home server running Debian 8 Jessie for couple of years. Unfortunately that means my memory is a bit hazy on the X2Go setup details :-} The client PC and server are on the same local LAN with no intervening firewalls or other complexities. I'm using the XFCE desktop on the server. I upgraded the server OS to Debian 9 Sid a couple of days ago, and unfortunately that seems to have broken X2Go. The X2Go docs say "If SSH login works, X2Go will work, as well", but that's not what is happening here. I can SSH to the server perfectly ok from my PC (using PuTTY), but If I try to access the server using the existing X2Go sessions I have set up (one for a fullscreen client session, one for a windowed one) I get the following error: Access denied. Authentication that can continue: publickey, password These existing sessions use a stored id_dsa key file (that has not changed). If i try to set up a new session, using the same id_dsa key, I get the same error when I try to use it. This does look like an SSH error, but i'm not clear where I should be looking for the error. Any hints much appreciated.

Problem connecting from Mac to Linux
by Darby Vicker 25 Dec '18

25 Dec '18

Hello, I've used x2go on a very similar setup in the past but I'm running into a problem on a new installation. I've installed x2goserver on a CentOS 7.5 machine. I'm trying to connect from a Mac running 10.13. I can ssh password free between the machines with no issues. When I try to connect I get this in my client window: Error: Failed to resolve address of 'localhost'. Loop: PANIC! Unknown remote host 'localhost'. Error: Unknown remote host 'localhost'. Session: Session terminated at 'Tue Nov 27 08:06:01 2018'. On the server side, I see this in /var/og/messages: Nov 27 08:06:01 valkyrie /usr/bin/x2gostartagent: successfully started X2Go Agent session with ID dvicker-51-1543331158_stDMATE_dp32 We don't have the server machine in DNS yet so I'm using the IP address for now. I've made sure the IP address is in /etc/hosts of the server machine and matches the hostname. Any other ideas? Is there a way to disable the host lookup? Darby

x2godesktopsharing applet starts twice in KDE Plasma
by Víctor J. Sánchez 15 Dec '18

15 Dec '18

Hi all, I recently installed x2godesktopsharing via X2Go repositories for Debian. The installation asked me about activate the auto-start feature (I said yes) and enable shared desktop (I said no). When I reboot the machine in KDE Plasma desktop I see two x2godesktopsharing applets in system tray and the next error message is displayed (translated into english): /The application X2Go DesktopSharing is already active for this screen/ /if it doesn't run remove /tmp/x2godesktopsharing.lock_USER@:0 and start it up again/ I don't know about x2godesktopsharing is started because I can't find anything in the documentation about it. I only see the file /etc/xdg/autostart/x2godesktopsharing.desktop but I don't see any system service (systemctl) nor KDE Plasma desktop's startup service or script. How could I resolve this issue? Some data about my system: - Debian testing (amd64), kernel 4.18.0-3-amd64 - KDE Plasma 5.14.3 - x2godesktopsharing 3.2.0.0 Thanks in advance.

x2gocleansessions
by richard lucassen 04 Dec '18

04 Dec '18

Hello list, I reported this issue earlier in the year, the process "x2gocleansessions" is checking for sessions each 2 seconds. The 2 seconds is on line 166 in /usr/sbin/x2gocleansessions: while(sleep 2) I have no idea why this process is started that often, but IMHO it's making quite a lot of noise for a 2 seconds check. It writes tmp files to the tmp directory and removes them. When using an ssd this will update the stat of the /tmp/ directory each two seconds. Can anybody explain why this process is started so often? Or is it still in a sort of debug/test mode? In my case I'm a single user on a single system, I changed the line 166 to 3600, but wouldn't it be a better idea to put that time into /etc/x2go/x2goserver.conf?
