x2goclient on windows
by Witter, Geert 31 Jan '24

31 Jan '24

Hello, We want to use the x2goclient on windows. There is currently no download for the latest version and the 4.1.2.2 version seems to be unstable when starting connections. The 4.1.2.0 version looks to be working OK. Problem is that all versions have security issues, because some of the dll's (like libssh and OpenSSL) are outdated. Is it planned to have a windows release in the near future that has more up-to-date dependencies incorporated? Kind regards, Geert Witter Senior Software Engineer Mobile: (NL) +31 6 53 89 61 02

error

On one of my laptops I am not able to set up a connection to the x2go server. When starting a custom desktop: ssh-agent startx wmaker I get the black "x2go" screen and then crash. I see this in the logs: daemon.warn: Jan 26 11:41:54 /usr/libexec/WindowMaker/wmaker[483025]: (catchXError(startup.c:118)): warning: internal X error: RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter) Request code: 139 Request minor code: 7 Resource ID: 0x4009d9 Error serial: 28162 I have more clients with the same version 4.1.2.2-2+b1 (Debian Testing) that connect to the same server and do not suffer from this issue. It is not an x2go problem AFAIK, but can anyone give me a hint where to start looking for a solution? Richard. -- richard lucassen http://contact.xaq.nl/

Network of Debian 12 workstations, seem to have SSH issues more than X2Go issues
by Nasi Chassoulas 23 Jan '24

23 Jan '24

Hi all, My first post here. I have spent a few weeks trying to set up X2Go to manage a small network of Debian based workstations. Some of them are user workstations, some headless servers, some using Gnome (X11 as far as possible, not Wayland). I have had some success accessing user desktops sessions, but I have broken this with some sshd_config changes. I would appreciate any advice. I have checked some logs, with this being the most obvious issue. XSession-x2go: X session started for administrator at Tue 16 Jan 2024 20:51:43 SAST dbus-update-activation-environment: setting DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/tmp/dbus-kVdJKgUoT3,guid=bc3f454dec8a0f9639cff89f65a6d03f dbus-update-activation-environment: setting DISPLAY=:51 dbus-update-activation-environment: setting XAUTHORITY=/home/administrator/.Xauthority dbus-update-activation-environment: warning: error sending to systemd: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process org.freedesktop.systemd1 exited with status 1 xrdb: Connection reset by peer xrdb: Can't open display ':51' xhost: unable to open display ":51" In the X2Go client, on some clients I get the 'session select' window, on others I get stuck in a password prompt loop. If its not a basic issue with X, I suspect its with SSH. I appreciate any help offered. Thanks for the development of a great product. Thanks, Nasi

only a black screen in the X2Go Session
by Poupart Erwann 10 Jan '24

10 Jan '24

Hi all, I'm a new user of X2Go. I have installed the X2Go server on a centos7 VM and a X2Go client on my PC (Windows). When I start a X2Go Session trying with Gnome (GDM active on my server) or even with XFCE, I only have a black screen that appears with no window manager or anything else to interact. Is there some specific configuration to do on the server side ? Thanks by advance for any help. Regards, Erwann.

X2go K Drive Server
by Stuart MacGregor 02 Jan '24

02 Jan '24

Good Morning, Excuse me for my ignorance/, /but how accurate/up to date is the kdrive section of the x2go wiki? It hasn't changed in 3-4 years, however quite a lot has been said about kdrive recently. I have had the kdrive server installed n my Ubuntu 22.04 machine since before it was moved to "stable", however I have yet to succeed in using it. Most of the computers on my home network are Windows machines. The Windows x2go clients have a kdrive check box, however when you check that box (on Windows or Ubuntu clients) and try to connect to the x2go server, nothing happens. Without the box checked all the x2go clients will connect to the server, allbeit with the graphics limitations and lag intrinsic to the original x2go when connecting to "modern" desktops. I use KDE Plasma. (Note that the "default" settings in the x2go clients for connecting to KDE Plasma desktops have not worked since I started using a Ubuntu server with x2go in 2020, you have to choose a "custom" connection and use the command "startplasma-x11") Do I need to make some manual modifications on the x2go server to get kdrive running? If I do so, do I risk the Windows machines loosing the ability to connect? Again, apologies if all this information is already available and I have just not seen/found it. As I said I have been using x2go since 2020 and it was very useful when I was trapped in my bedroom for a week with COVID in 2022. I am just hoping that kdrive will improve its performance and am too stupid/ignorant to get it working without some help. Regards Stuart MacGregor
