Re: [X2Go-User] multiple instances of x2go server appearing in tray

Stephan: Abject apologies - I misstated the issue. The tray icon is indeed for x2go desktopsharing, and that is exactly the function that I need to use. So the question I meant to ask, then, is whether there is a config file somewhere that will prevent more than one instance of desktopsharing to run in a particular account. Xfce (what I normally use) doesn't provide any options to manage that aspect. Perhaps someone knows what config file to look at? Thanks - and sorry for a bad initial post. brian Message: 6 Date: Sun, 3 May 2020 22:14:32 +0200 From: Stefan Baur <X2Go-ML-1(a)baur-itcs.de> To: x2go-user(a)lists.x2go.org Subject: Re: [X2Go-User] multiple instances of x2go server appearing in tray Message-ID: <5627b81b-c449-2f90-be24-f64ae2c1e409(a)baur-itcs.de> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Am 02.05.20 um 22:36 schrieb brian: > The only strange thing I'm encountering is that my tray will display up > to 8 or 9 instances of x2goserver running at any one time.

In fact, X2GoServer doesn't display any icons in your tray (X2GoClient does that on the client side, obviously). What you're seeing there looks like the applet belonging to the X2Go package <https://packages.debian.org/buster/x2godesktopsharing>, from what I can tell. If you don't need that particular feature, it should be safe to simply uninstall that package. If you do want to use it, you need to find out why the applet is being started multiple times. -Stefan -- BAUR-ITCS UG (haftungsbeschränkt) Geschäftsführer: Stefan Baur Eichenäckerweg 10, 89081 Ulm | Registergericht Ulm, HRB 724364 Fon/Fax 0731 40 34 66-36/-35 | USt-IdNr.: DE268653243

How to start a specific program from the client command line?
by Chris Green 03 May '20

03 May '20

I have been using x2go for a while now to run a couple of desktop programs on my laptop, I also use it to run the whole of the desktop's xfce session sometimes. It's excellent, thank you all. I currently have an icon in my panel which runs the following:- x2goclient --session=<session name> This brings up the x2go client GUI with the appropriate session loaded and asks for my password. Being a command line junkie I'd quite like to bypass the GUI if I can, so is there any way to get x2go[client] to ask for the password on the command line and go on to run the session? Alternatively can I get x2go to use ssh's ControlMaster setting as I nearly always have an ssh session running to my desktop so further ssh connections don't ask for my password again. -- Chris Green

multiple instances of x2go server appearing in tray
by brian 03 May '20

Hello x2go user list: New user. Hope I'm in the right place. If not, please direct me to that. Just discovered x2go a short while ago and am really enjoying it. Its a super piece of software. The only strange thing I'm encountering is that my tray will display up to 8 or 9 instances of x2goserver running at any one time. Only one will show OK (green check mark), the others will show with a red 'x' instead. The number of x-ed out server instances vary. Might be one. Might be 8. Entirely random. See attached photo. I can close each x-ed out entry indivdually and x2goserver still works just fine after that. In fact it shows no problems at all; works perfectly. I'm running on linux, Debian, Buster 10. A hardinfo report on the OS, kernel, and environment is also attached. Is there any config file I can go to to eliminate this one little quirk? Thanks for the help. brian
