Dear X2go users and team,
As it seems there is no easy solution to allow the X2Go session user have
the same privileges in Ubuntu (when connecting via: connect with "Custom
Desktop" Command: MATE) as a local user (i.e. via VNC)
Some issues can be solved via editing settings in
/var/lib/polkit-1 , for example to allow the remote user to access Network
settings.
However, I did not manage to allow Seahorse to show / properly work with
passwords when accessed during an X2Go session:
When …
[View More]accessing via VNC, network credentials can be edited and stored in
Seahorse.
With X2Go access via connect with "Custom Desktop" Command: MATE , all
these sections seem to be missing in Seahorse even though the same user is
used, and Caja (the file manager in Mate) seems to requests a password for
SMB access every time.
See attached screenshot.
Help would be much appreciated. How can Seahorse get the same privileges
during that X2Go session as for a local session/VNC?
Thanks

Hi,
I'm having an issue installing the x2gobroker-agent package on CentOS 7.
It looks like CentOS 7 has a python36 package but not a python3 (and
various python packages).

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

Hello,
I get the following error message (rarely, but when it happens its always
on first time login to PC, after shutdown for a while)
*Check your GSSAPI configuration or choose another authentication method.*
I don't know how to actively recreate this error, and it only happens very
rarely (the rest of the time it opens a session to the server and works
fine) I'm not sure why it happens/what can be done to fix it.
My x2go version: x2goclient_4.1.2.1-0~1788~ubuntu18.04.1_amd64.deb
My Ubuntu …
[View More]version: 18.04.3 Latest version

I'm working with trying to use kerberos with our X2Go server from
different OSs. We are running a Server 2016 Active Directory with the
UNIX attributes. All computers are joined to this AD.
On Windows 10, I can get GSSAPI to authenticate and let me log in
without a password. However, I cannot then ssh to a different linux
computer without doing a kinit.
If I check "delegatation of GSSAPI Credentials to the server, I get
various cp errors around files with "odd" characters, or unable to …
[View More]find
the keyring.
On other Scientific Linux 7 computers, I can't even get the Kerberos 5
authentication to work, it just gives me an error to login with my
password. This does work with the first remote linux computer via ssh.
I have tried enabling delegation in AD for the computer account of my
primary jump host, no change I can see.
So - why is X2Go different on Linux with regard to using Kerberos 5 auth
when straight SSH works, and 2 has anyone figured out the windows
equivalent to kinit -F for a user so they can do 2 hops?

Trying to get x2go server loaded on an MX Linux 18.3 VM and I get the
following error that I can't seem to get past.
Any ideas? Do I need to have libc6 2.28 or higher?

Hello,
So many things I love about x2go over any other remote desktop solution,
and I've pretty much tried them all in one flavour or another.
The one thing that is really hurting me though is Chrome / webkit speed.
The issue has been discussed here before a long time ago, but I didn't see
much by way of resolution.
This is now I suspect impacting electron based apps, which are becoming
more prolific.
Bouncing between my client OS and Linux isn't desirable, and in some cases
isn't possible.

The Linux desktop is on a 200/20Mb connection with ~20ms or less RTT, which
means I get screen updates from the server -> 20Mb -> client as the server
is leveraging the upload speed to communicate back to the client.
I would imagine that 20Mb is sufficient to handle pretty much any of the
encoding settings, so I am happy to try any settings.
Server: Ubuntu MATE 18.04, installed using apt packages. (4.1.0.3 ?)
Client: OSX 4.1.2.1
I'm a software developer so I am comfortable building from source,
administering my own machine, so happy to experiment to try and get, if not
resolution, at least a configuration that gets the best performance
possible.
Cheers
Keith.

Hello,
When I log in to Fedora 30 locally, it prompts me for my keyring
password on login, and I type it and then I proceed normally.
I then can open evolution and it accesses my credentials fine.
However, when connecting to my desktop via x2go, evolution says it
failed to obtain access token, credentials, etc, and keeps prompting me
for mail passwords and doesn't work.
If I open seahorse, it doesn't even list my default keyring.
If I use x2godesktopsharing, it works fine, but I can't do …
[View More]that from a
laptop because it makes the display too small.
Please tell me there is some way to fix this?
Thanks,

Well, I think I need to clarify something here:
a) connecting with "…
[View More]Custom Desktop" will start a NEW session.
b) connecting with "local desktop" will _connect_ to the running
X-Server (usually :0) which is slower due to the way it works.
According to your description it works with type b) but not with a). I
think in a session a) type you need to the environment to enable
access the type b) session running in parallel.
Unfortunately I do not have the environment available to test this in detail.

We have several mailing lists. As we are constantly struggling with
(human) resources there are no plans to add a forum. As far as I can
see most of the administrating members prefer mailing lists over
clumsy web forums anyway.

Hi,
The setup is reasonably simple. A network with Ubuntu 18.04 PCs
(workstations, so to speak).
SSH connections between them work flawlessly.
But x2go refuses to work. At all. Whatever I do, I only get
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
If I run x2goclient in the gdb debugger, it shows that it fails in
Thread 6 "SshMasterConnec" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Hi,
we use x2go for multiple users to connect to workstations running Ubuntu
16.04.6 LTS. Clients run on MacOSX or Windows machines.
After using the setup for some days with multiple reconnects, for
unknown reasons we can no longer open terminal applications via these
remote-desktops.
This applies to all terminal applications like UXTerm, Xfce Terminal,
XTerm, etc.
We can still perfectly open a file manager, or e.g. Matlab and work with
those.
We can also no longer close the session because …
[View More]the confirmation dialog
to confirm user logout does not appear.
It seems like there is a terminal process started every time we start a
terminal via the desktop GUI. But the window does not show up.
After rebooting the workstation, everything works fine again, terminals
can be opened, logout confirmation dialog pops up.
Currently we use XFCE desktop.
Best regards,
Thomas
