x2go problems - Ubuntu 16.04 - before and after new version upgrade
by Steven Spencer 19 Mar '18

19 Mar '18

Greetings, I sent this yesterday, but was not a member of the list, so wasn't sure if it would end up being approved and posted or not. Here's the content of that message and I apologize if this is a duplicate: We use x2go extensively for some access to some Ubuntu based LTSP servers. Suddenly over the last two days, we get the following in the client: "The remote proxy closed the connection while negotiating the session. This may be due to the wrong authentication credentials passed to the server." And on the server we are trying to connect to, we see this in the logs: /usr/bin/x2goresume-session: client [ip.address.of.client] has successfully resumed session with ID kscadmin-51-1520534328_stDMATE_dp24 /usr/bin/x2gosetkeyboard: /home/ksca0dmin/.x2go/C-kscadmin-51-1520534328_stDMATE_dp24/keyboard did not appear within 30s after agent startup We are never able to connect. This happens even on all servers that we connect to and includes older server versions: x2goagent: 3.5.0.33 x2goserver: 4.0.1.22 x2goserver-extensions: 4.0.1.22 x2goserver-xsession: 4.0.1.22 As well as newer ones: x2goserver: 4.1.0.0 x2goserver-common: 4.1.0.0 x2goserver-extensions: 4.1.0.0 x2goserver-fmbindings: 4.1.0.0 x2goserver-printing: 4.1.0.0 x2goserver-x2goagent: 3.5.99.14 x2goserver-xsession: 4.1.0.0 Unfortunately, the clients are now updated as well trying to fix this issue, but they were failing on the older client version as well: X2Go Client v. 4.1.1.1 (Qt - 4.8.7) Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, -- -- Steven G. Spencer, Network Administrator KSC Corporate - The Kelly Supply Family of Companies Office 308-382-8764 Ext. 1131 Mobile 402-765-8010

open another customizing Port Forward thought the SSH Connection to the x2go Server
by Feustel, Thomas 19 Mar '18

19 Mar '18

Hi, Is it possible to open an induvial port forward from the client machine to the x2go server? I need this for a windows software to connect to the Linux server. My first approach wars to use on the client a ssh_config, but the client creates the connection directly from the x2go client application with some ssh libs. So ok, the next approach wars to use the ssh_config on the Linux site, because for the printer and the file connection, the server open a ssh connection to a ssh-Daemon on the Client site. But the ssh connection use the option "ClearAllForwardings", so the forwards on a config-file are not working. So someone have an idea for this topic? Greetings

Some questions about X2go
by Torsten Kupke 19 Mar '18

19 Mar '18

Hi all, on my working PC there is running Ubuntu 16.04 with MATE Desktop (isn't the same as Ubuntu MATE, right?) and a X2go Server with Desktop Sharing extension. On my home PC with Windows 10 I have installed the X2go Client and inside it configured a session connecting to the Ubuntu host according to https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:usage:desktop-sharing. The connection is successful, but there are some issues: 1. The Ubuntu host's desktop is spread over two 4/3 screens. But The Windows PC only has one screen with 1680x1050 Pixels. So the display from the Ubuntu host is highly horizontally compressed, so that the texts are nearly unreadable. OK, this behaviour is documented, but is there a way to get it more readable? 2. If I (to solve the above issue) switch to something other than full screen mode in the session settings, the session crashes, when started. I have to close and restart the X2go Client. And then with settings set back to full screen mode the session runs again. Is there a way to avoid the crash without full screen mode? 3. In full screen mode I cannot see any mouse cursor. So hitting any user elements inside or on the windows inside the display from the Ubuntu host is very difficult, since they are reduced to half the width. Is there a way to see a mouse cursor? Or is this due to the compressed display? 4. Since mouse using is so difficult, I tried to close the windows from the Ubuntu host by pressing <Alt><F4>. But then I get a question from X2go to close the session. Is there a way to propagate key combinitions like <Alt><F4> to the remote host? Sincerely tkansgar

Deprecation and removal of X2Go Plugin
by Mihai Moldovan 19 Mar '18

19 Mar '18

Hi Since most browsers either stopped supporting NPAPI (or will be dropping support with the next ESR version) and Qt 5 does not feature a browser plugin architecture any longer, I will be ripping out code related to the X2Go Plugin in the development version of X2Go Client soonish. Expect the next version to not supply X2Go Plugin binaries. Mihai

Problems with X2go keyboard layout
by Thomas Stephan 15 Mar '18

15 Mar '18

Dear X2golist, we are using X2go to connect to our Ubuntu workstations from various clients. Since some days we had problems to get connected, now after updating client and server we can connect again. After connecting to the server we see the window with the desktop, and are able to start programs as usual. However, the keyboard seems to deliver random results, e.g. the keys 1,2,3,4,5,6 map to e,r,t,z,<enter> in a terminal on the remote-server. Here is our setup: Client is MAC OSX 10.11, running x2goclient 4.1.1.1 for MAC OS X 10.10 Server: Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS (Xenial Xerus) output from x2goversion on the server is cups-x2go: 3.0.1.3 x2godesktopsharing: 3.1.1.4 x2goserver: 4.1.0.0 x2goserver-common: 4.1.0.0 x2goserver-extensions: 4.1.0.0 x2goserver-fmbindings: 4.1.0.0 x2goserver-printing: 4.1.0.0 x2goserver-x2goagent: 3.5.99.15 x2goserver-xsession: 4.1.0.0 Any ideas?

Can we have some old rpms in the x2go.repo?
by Norman Gaywood 15 Mar '18

15 Mar '18

Last night after upgrading several Fedora 27 systems with the latest http://packages.x2go.org/fedora/$releasever/main/$basearch nxagent now segfaults sometimes on connection, sometimes when doing a move of the x2goclient screen. Problem is, I can't roll back to the previous version (to test) as the repo does not contain the older rpms? Would it be possible to have a version or two to be able to do a "dnf downgrade"?

Problems after upgrading to recent x2go-server and x2go client releases
by h i 15 Mar '18

15 Mar '18

Hello, I've been experiencing problems with opening applications and resizing my x2go client window after installing the newest version x2go-server. The issues occurs on Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04. What happens now is that every time I maximize my x2go-client window, the images on screen rapidly flicker and won't stop until I minimize the screen. Also, each time I move the window, a quick flicker occurs across the screen. This never occurred before this new release. I have a few systems with the current x2go verison installed, here is the output: x2goversion x2goserver: 4.1.0.0 x2goserver-common: 4.1.0.0 x2goserver-extensions: 4.1.0.0 x2goserver-fmbindings: 4.1.0.0 x2goserver-printing: 4.1.0.0 x2goserver-x2goagent: 3.5.99.14 x2goserver-xsession: 4.1.0.0 We have another system running x2go server, but have yet to update it due to the problems we've experienced. Here is the output of the previous version we are running without the issues: x2goversion x2goagent: 3.5.0.33 x2goserver: 4.0.1.22 x2goserver-extensions: 4.0.1.22 x2goserver-xsession: 4.0.1.22 On the client side, I upgraded to the 4.1.1.1 from 4.1.0.0 and experienced some issues. I have to click on the outside/top-right edge of the session panel for the login session window to appear. Any thing closer to the middle, and it won't respond. I also get a pop-up message about the sound that I had not experienced with previous versions. Once logged into a session, the flickering resulting from moving/maximizing the window is much worse. Fortunately, I was able to revert back to x2go-client 4.1.0.0. However,is there a way to revert back to this previous version/configuration of x2goserver. Right now, it is has been a lot of flickering while to trying to do routine tasks with the current release. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks. H.

Can't install X2goserver on Debian 9
by Nigra Truo 15 Mar '18

15 Mar '18

This is my main system, where I use X2goserver every day of the week and have done so for years, it worked really well for many years now. After doing the newest x2goserver update, several things broke and I can't install x2go anymore. So I decided to clean up any old install, purged everything. Purge complained that directories were not empty. Then, after I erased the directories, it complains that they are not there (apt is super annoying at times where you can't get it right, no matter how you try). Now I'm stuck, can't install or deinstall: When installing, I get: X2Go is configured to use a non-SQLite DB backend, leaving the database alone (who configure that? I definitely not. There should not be a piece of x2go configuration left on the system, the whole point of the purge) Then the installer fails, because it probably does not have any db to work with? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/x2goserver.service → /lib/systemd/system/x2goserver.service.
