freezing after update to fedora 37
by Neal Becker 29 Nov '22

29 Nov '22

Been using x2go for many fedora releases. After updating both client and server to fedora f37, I have a new problem. I've tried multiple desktops, including xfce and lxde, and have the same symptoms. After starting a session, it initially works fine. When I come back later to try to use it, it is frozen. So I have not disconnected from the session and reconnected. On the client side the screen was locked and then unlocked when I returned. The client did not suspend - it is running on A/C power. The session is frozen and completely unresponsive to input. Disconnect/reconnect it's still frozen. Only terminate/new session will unfreeze it. Any suggestions? Thanks Neal

Two Upcoming X2Go Events: X2Go: The Spread 2021.5 and 2022
by Stefan Baur 22 Nov '22

22 Nov '22

Hi $ALL, It's been a while, but now it is time for not only one, but two X2Go Events. As you all know, the Covid-19 pandemic kept us from hosting our usual X2Go: The Gathering events in 2021 and 2022. So instead of gathering, we'll now spread out. Instead of meeting for a weekend in "meatspace", like we used to, we'll now meet online during the work week starting 18:00 CET/MEZ each day (or possibly even later, given volunteer feedback), and only for a few hours each day. X2Go: The Spread 2021.5 (2022-11-28 to 2022-12-02) is the replacement event for X2Go: The Gathering 2021, which had to be cancelled due to illness of several core members. This event starts in a little less than a week - but if you can't make it on such short notice, do not worry. X2Go: The Spread 2021.5 will be more of an informal virtual meetup, with people working on "behind the scenes" stuff, testing out our streaming/recording equipment, etc. The "real deal" will be X2Go: The Spread 2022, which is also scheduled for the evening hours, but will take place from 2022-12-12 to 2022-12-16 (with a possible extension to one of the weekends before or after - we'll see). This is where we'll also have the annual orca e.V. meeting. The date and time for the orca e.V. meeting is fixed: 2022-12-16, 20:00 CET/MEZ. This is the event where we'll see/hear a talk each evening, and work on getting our releases out. Of course, both events have their own wiki page to track progress and updates: X2Go: The Spread 2021.5: <https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/events:x2go-spread-2021.5> X2Go: The Spread 2022: <https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/events:x2go-spread-2022> Kind Regards, Stefan Baur, X2Go's Event Planner -- 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

Copy/Paste Xubuntu 18 and block inicial session
by Rodrigo José Petreça 10 Nov '22

10 Nov '22

Good morning people, I'm using X2go Server Client in my company. I'm exporting via ssh a simple application compiled in flagship 8. The export is ok, but if I open a screen and try to copy and paste the text, it doesn't work. This issue is only affecting xubuntu 18.04.05 The same server with client on windows or xubuntu 22.04 does not have the problem. Any tips to resolve this? Another thing, when opening x2goclient on windows or linux, we have several accesses configured all with custom command. Would it be possible to block this screen, so that the user cannot change the command? Sometimes the simple scroll of the mouse scrool ends up changing the configuration.

Sound forwarding between linux server and linux client
by Leonid Titov 06 Nov '22

06 Nov '22

Hi all, I try to setup a remote desktop using x2go with a headless Linux VM as a server (Centos 8 Stream) and Linux desktop (Fedora 35) as a client. I have successfully set up generic desktop sharing and now fighting with sound forwarding. I have ticked 'Enable sound support' and chose 'Pulseaudio' at X2Go client (native X2Go v.4.1.2.2 QT client). I've configured the PulseAudio natie tcp module on both sides. However, I see only 'Dummy' sound device at remote end, and no sound at the client side. Can anyone help with suggestions, how to troubleshoot this setup? -- Best regards, Leonid.

Upcoming X2Go and orca e.V. sponsorship drive
by Stefan Baur 03 Nov '22

03 Nov '22

Dear $ALL, As you might know, a few years ago, at "X2Go: The Gathering 2017", several key members of X2Go as well as members from other Remote Desktop-/Remote Application projects joined together to form the Open Remote Computing Association - orca e.V. - a registered association under Germanys Civil Code and also registered as a charitable organization, similar to a 501(c)(3) organization in the US. This June, we joined betterplace.org for easier handling of donations. They offer PayPal, SEPA Direct Debit, Credit Card, giropay/paydirekt and Wire transfer. And they also handle issuing donation receipts for us. (Note that while donations towards orca/X2Go are tax-deductible for German tax subjects, this may vary in other jurisdictions.) The Commercial and Savings Bank Ulm, where orca's bank account resides, is planning a sponsorship drive for all charitable organizations registered with them via betterplace.org, starting Monday, 2022-10-24, 09:00 CEST and ending Friday, 2022-10-28, 23:59 CEST - so that's this week. They have pooled 17 500 EUR and will distribute them across all charitable orgs registered with them that receive donations. So it's not a 1:1 matching of each donation, but the org with the biggest amount of donations gets the biggest piece of the cake, so to speak. If you can, please visit the donation sites below and send a few €€€ our way. (But don't feel bad if you can't. Times are rough. We get that.) We'd prefer if you use the German-language donation forms because with these, we know for sure that the donation counts towards the bank's pledge. However, if you're afraid of hitting the wrong button in a German-language form, feel free to use the link that points to the English version.
