One application (Digikam) fails, apparently randomly
by Chris Green 02 Apr '21

02 Apr '21

Well I'm very confused now, I thought I could see a pattern but I can't. I'll report what I have discovered so far though. I'm running x2gclient 4.1.2.2 (as installed from the Ubuntu repositories) on my xubuntu 20.10 laptop. I'm running the server on my xubuntu 20.10 desktop machine, again just as installed from the Ubuntu repositories:- x2goserver: 4.1.0.3 x2goserver-common: 4.1.0.3 x2goserver-extensions: 4.1.0.3 x2goserver-fmbindings: 4.1.0.3 x2goserver-printing: 4.1.0.3 x2goserver-x2goagent: 3.5.99.24 x2goserver-xsession: 4.1.0.3 I have been trying a mix of three types of session, as follows (with results):- 1 - A small Python GUI program as a 'Single Application', this always runs without any problem at all, it just works every time. 2 - An XFCE session, this works every time and doesn't cause any major issues but it does occasionally pop-up windows in the server session as follows:- A window saying "Authentication is required to create a colour profile" and I have to enter my sudo user password. After the above pop-up I sometimes get a second one saying "Authentication is required to operate a colour managed device" The above two pop-ups only appear occasionally, usually the XFCE session just starts up and runs normally. Once I've entered my sudo password in response the session runs OK. 3 - A Digikam session as a 'Single Application', this does work sometimes but more often it appears to start OK, then xfwm4 on the *client* crashes and the Digikam session disappears even though it is still running on the desktop machine. I can't see any consistent reason for when it does work or when it doesn't work. Digikam is running from a big Appimage. Running digikam in an XFCE session running in x2go works perfectly, or at least I've not managed to crash it ever. It's only when run as a 'Single Application' that it fails. I guess I can just run Digikam in an XFCE session but I'd like to be able to just run Digikam. It's frustrating that it sometimes works but I can't see what is needed for it to work. As I said elsewhere I've run memtest on the desktop machine for two whole passes and it showed no errors. I'm happy to add debug flags to either end to see if it's possible to diagnose this. -- Chris Green

Cant start X.Org Server
by Martti Pitkanen 01 Apr '21

01 Apr '21

Hi, I experimented different settings in my Win X2Go -client, after which I started getting "x2client Cant start X.Org Server. Please check your installation." Afre that X2Go closes. I uninstalled it and removed all references to x2go by using regedit. Any idea what else I can do? Thanks, Martti Pitkanen

Error on resume/start: Call to bind failed for NX. Error is 98 'Address already in use'.
by Simon Beißer 31 Mar '21

31 Mar '21

Hello, We are frequently experiencing problems, especially with the session resume but also with the start of sessions. On x2goclient the session is terminated immediately after login with "finished". The session.log shows the following error message: Loop: PANIC! Call to bind failed for NX. Error is 98 'Address already in use'. Error: Call to bind failed for NX. Error is 98 'Address already in use'. After several login attempts or after a short wait the login is possible again without any problems. We run several X2Go installations. The problem occurs across all of our installations. We are using Ubuntu 20.04 with XFCE and the latest NXAGENT 3.5.99.26. Does anyone know this behavior? Is there already a solution?

First time using list - how to log on to PC with x2go after reboot?
by Carlos Alfaro 30 Mar '21

30 Mar '21

I have noticed that I can log on to a pc which has an x2go server but only after I log on, after reboot I would have to log on to get access. Any way to enable it so I can log on to the server without having to sign on first? Sort of how google remote desktop works? thanks

x2go to access Linux - issues with graphical updates
by Anonymous Japhering 18 Mar '21

18 Mar '21

X2Go Client v. 4.1.1.1 (Qt - 5.9.5) Guest Linux Mint 5.4.0-66-generic #74-Ubuntu SMP x86_64 Host Linux Mint 5.4.0-67-generic #75~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP x86_64 Guest is where the issue is occurring.. host is where I'm working from ( x2go client is running) On Guest, I open the Linux Mint update manager. If I need to do nothing more than approve update, everything works as expected. However, if I want to change software sources or perform a version up it fails. Both items require a secondary window to be open, which doesn't happen, at least in x2goclient. Computer in question has no monitor and is only accessed through x2go (my display port adaptor died). Thoughts or suggestions ?

enable multiple login with the same user
by kanssoune.saliya＠external.tractebel.engie.com 18 Mar '21

18 Mar '21

Hello everyone ! I would like to configure remote login to CentOS 7 servers using x2go and allow multiple login with the same user i.e. many users use the same ID and password to log in at the same time. Does x2go allow it? I explain below a little bit more our infra : * We use NIS as user authentication * We have more than 10 different Linux workstations * Each colleague can connect on every workstations * We use generic account for some purpose i.e. many users use the same ID and password Do you thing that this is possible to configure with x2go? If yes, what are the steps to follow? What desktop environment (MATE, XFCE, GNOME ...) will be best adapted? Thanks! Kanssoune ENGIE Mail Disclaimer: http://www.engie.com/disclaimer/

Hi! thank you for creating this nice free software! I tried x2go on Debian 10 server with KDE desktop. Everything worked fine out of the box until 3 days later when I noticed the server disk was full: in /home/dozent: -rw------- 1 dozent dozent 800G Mär 7 12:48 .xsession-x2go-bootserver-neu-errors [19069:19098:0307/002314.670828:ERROR:gl_surface_qt.cpp(296)] eglCreatePbufferSurface failed and surfaceless context not available [19069:19098:0307/002314.670831:ERROR:gl_surface_qt.cpp(303)] Requested OpenGL implementation is not supported.

Different display ratio at server and client
by Zoltan Tibenszky 10 Mar '21

10 Mar '21

Hello everybody, I would like to use X2Go to get access to my desktop remotely. The server has a two monitor setup and I would like to access this desktop through a laptop. So far the X2Go client has shrunk the display horizontally, which makes it hard to work with it. I am looking for a solution to overcome this issue. Currently both the server and the client runs Xubuntu 20.04 LTS. There are two simple intuitive ways I can think of: 1. show only one monitor and have a bindkey/button to switch between displays 2. open the remote desktop in a window with scrollbars Is there anything similar already implemented? Or are there any other ways to make using remote desktop with different display resolutions practical? Thanks, Zoltan

Windows 10 Error - X.Org Server did not launch correctly after 4 tries
by Rich Sakalas 03 Mar '21

03 Mar '21

Hello, I am trying to use X2Go to access various servers from my Windows 10 64 Bit laptop. Occasionally it works great. Mostly when trying to start a session I receive the following error: " X.Org Server did not launch correctly after 4 tries. Please check your installation." I'm running Windows 10 Enterprise 64 bit Version 20H2 Build 19042.804. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, this does not fix the problem. I've attached the output of the debug log from when I've tried to run it this morning, but I'm having a hard time deciphering it. Any ideas on how to help resolve this would be appreciated, this is a fantastic tool. Thank you, Rich Sakalas

accessing windows that fall off the screen
by Michael Ashley 27 Feb '21

27 Feb '21

Hi folks, Another question for you: sometimes I reconnect to an x2go session from a computer that has a smaller display than the one that I previous connected from. The problem is that some of the windows now fall partially or fully off the display. The partial ones are usually accessible by clicking and dragging their borders until enough of them appears so that the window can be dragged back in to full view. The usual X11 keystroke/mouse combination for dragging a window isn't passed through to the x2go session, so this only works on the high-level x2go window (presumably there is a way of creating a different keystroke/mouse combination that is passed through). But for windows that fall completely off the screen, I can't see how to access them. Any ideas? I'm using xfce. Regards, Michael

I have subsequently removed this new version of Xquartz and installed the same version as on my laptop, 2.7.11 but I still am unable to connect. I have also removed X2go client and reinstalled but still no joy. Any hints or ideas would be much appreciated. Many thanksTrevor

nxagentReconnectFailedFonts: does anyone have a solution?
by Michael Ashley 27 Feb '21

27 Feb '21

Hi folks, Last week I connected to a long-running x2go session using a different computer than I normally do. It worked fine. But later that day when I returned to my usual computer, I ran into the bug where the session would start up, but then disconnect within about a second, with the error messages: > nxagentReconnectFailedFonts: WARNING! Font server tunneling not retrieved. > nxagentReconnectSession: WARNING! Unable to retrieve all the fonts currently in use. Missing fonts have been replaced. A google search shows that this bug was reported 7 years ago, but no solution appears to be forthcoming, apart from trying to adding fonts. But with over 1000 fonts on the server, I have no idea how to find which ones need adding. Are there any ideas out there for how to address this problem? It is certainly frustrating to be unable to connect to a running x2go session, and having to terminate it on the server. Regards, Michael

script to automatically restart x2go client session after coming out of suspend
by Michael Ashley 26 Feb '21

26 Feb '21

Hi folks, I thought that some of you might be interested in a small script that I use to automatically restart an x2go client session after returning from suspending the client computer: #!/bin/bash while true; do pyhoca-cli -R NEWEST --link wan -g 3768x2123 --pack 16m-png-jpeg-9 user@computer & while ! wmctrl -r X2GO -e 0,0,0,3768,2123; do sleep 1; done echo sleeping sleep 10 wait done The idea is to use pyhoca-cli to handle the connection. The "wait" line waits until the pyhoca-cli subprocess ends, which happens shortly after the computer comes out of suspend. The "wmctrl" line is just to resize the window to fit my display. Change the numbers 3768x2123 to suit. The "sleep 10" I had in there while debugging to avoid runaway creation of sub-processes, which is capable of crashing the x2go server session. The nice thing about this script is that I can be up and running with the x2go client session within less than 10 seconds or so of coming out of suspend, without having to tediously interact with the x2goclient GUI. In turn, this means that there is almost no friction in suspending/resuming my desktop computer, with consequent power savings. The script could be improved by starting a new session if there is no existing one. Regards, Michael

The first time it told me to run debuginfo-install nxagent-3.5.99.25-4.el7.x86_64 so I did that. Each time after I attach the debugger then my x2go window is frozen so I cannot try changing anything. When I quit the debugger then the x2go window crashes.

Re: [X2Go-User] Cross-session copy/paste issue
by Jonah Benton 24 Feb '21

24 Feb '21

Hi Uli, Thank you- concur about images- in the past, copy-paste of them only worked within a session, not across. My workaround was to paste-save to /tmp on the host and then open saved image from another session. But nearly all copy-paste for me is text / URLs. Re versions of nxagent: Currently: [admin@localhost ~]$ dnf list installed | grep nx nx-libs.x86_64 3.5.99.26-1.fc33 @updates nxagent.x86_64 3.5.99.26-1.fc33 @updates nxproxy.x86_64 3.5.99.26-1.fc33 @updates Previously version release schedule https://www.spinics.net/lists/fedora-package-announce/msg288622.html * Fri Jun 19 2020 Orion Poplawski <orion@xxxxxxxx> - 3.5.99.24-1 - Update to 3.5.99.24 * Sat Feb 1 2020 Orion Poplawski <orion@xxxxxxxx> - 3.5.99.23-1 - Update to 3.5.99.23 * Wed Jan 29 2020 Fedora Release Engineering <releng@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> - 3.5.99.22-2 - Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_32_Mass_Rebuild So I was previously running what Fedora calls 3.5.99.24. I can try to downgrade if there is an earlier 3.5.99 on Fedora 33- will that matter? Happy to give a go at a replacement build. I did just note two additional behaviors- 1. cross-session paste does *eventually* complete -copy of text 1 in session 1 -attempt to paste in session 2 -observe session 2 window freeze -switch to host window -paste into host window (success) -select and recopy in host window -switch back to session 2- paste of text 1 had completed So the paste took about 5 seconds 2. cross-session paste payload can be replaced in flight -copy of text 1 in session 1 -switch to session 2 -attempt to paste (text 1 into session 2) -observe session 2 window freeze -switch to another window in session 2 -select and copy text 2 (in another window in session 2) -switch to the session 2 window attempting to complete the original paste -note that the paste completed- but using text 2, not text 1 Thanks again!

X2GO Crash When Resizing columns in Cliosoft Sos
by Joe W 23 Feb '21

23 Feb '21

I am using a program called Cliosoft SOS. It has a window that displays in columns like an Excel file. When I resize one of the columns then my X2GO session window crashes. The start window where I pick which session to start stays running. There is a horizontal scroll bar to move the columns sideways. When I drag that then the X2GO window crashes. I can resize the entire SOS window without any problems. I do not see this sort of behavior in LibreOffice Calc. I have attached the session log and the client debug console output showing a few of these crashes. My client is v. 4.1.2.2 on Windows 10. I am connecting to a CENTOS 7 system running X2GO 4.1.0.3-9 server which came from the Epel repo. Is there some way to fix this or is it a bug that I should report? Is there any additional information that I should gather? Anything I should ask the software developer?

Cross-session copy/paste issue
by Jonah Benton 20 Feb '21

20 Feb '21

Hi folks, Let me first say thank you to X2Go maintainers- I happened upon X2Go about 6 months ago when figuring out how to switch my workflow from Fedora VMs on MacOS to distinct desktop environments on Fedora. It is such a profoundly excellent tool. Thank you for your efforts. Now- to describe a problem that just cropped up, hoping someone can help me debug. I have been running Fedora 32 - XFCE on a Thinkpad, simultaneously running 7 distinct local X2Go sessions under 7 different host users. Each session's window resides within its own XFCE logical desktop, and I switch between them with the switch desktop hotkeys. X2Go sessions are configured to support bidirectional copy/paste, and generally it works seamlessly to copy text or images from apps in one session's window to another or to/from the host. Last night I upgraded to Fedora 33, with the requisite updates to X2Go. Now, copy/paste is reliably broken in one area: * from host into any session still is fine * from session into host still is fine * from a session into the same session still is fine * from one session into another session no longer works On failed pastes- where the copy was from one session and the paste is another session- when the paste recipient is a browser (Chromium, Firefox, whatever), sometimes the recipient browser tab temporarily locks up trying (and failing) to retrieve the paste material. All X2Go sessions are still configured for bi-directional copy-paste. [admin@localhost ~]$ x2goclient --version x2go-WARNING-1> English language requested, not loading translator. x2go-WARNING-1> English language requested, not loading translator. 4.1.2.2 [admin@localhost ~]$ x2goversion : 3.2.0.0 : 4.1.0.3 : 4.1.0.3 : 3.2.0.0 : 4.1.0.3 : 3.5.99.26 : 4.1.0.3 Any thoughts on tracking down the issue? Thanks again, Jonah

Shared folder fails silently on client side?
by James Bowery 20 Jan '21

20 Jan '21

For some reason the automounted shared folder is no longer being shared. Moreover, manually mounting doesn't work either. Yet there are no error messages in the X2Go CLient status window (Session ID:... Server:... Username:... Display:... Creation time (is blank?) and Status running). I'm not exactly sure where to look on the Ubuntu server for diagnostics, but it seems the client side should not be so silent under both automount and manual mount.

pyhoca-cli seems very broken on xubuntu 20.10
by Chris Green 18 Jan '21

18 Jan '21

Having fixed the missing python3-invoke module pyhoca-cli now crashes in all sorts of other ways on my xubuntu 20.10 system. These sessions run fine when called from x2goclient, I just want to script them in order to run a couple of things before the x2go session. This is calling an xfce session, i.e. a full desktop:- chris$ pyhoca-cli esprimo Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pyhoca-cli", line 439, in <module> parser, args = parseargs() File "/usr/bin/pyhoca-cli", line 397, in parseargs ssh_host = ssh_config.lookup(a.server) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/paramiko/config.py", line 223, in lookup options = self._lookup(hostname=hostname) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/paramiko/config.py", line 250, in _lookup or self._does_match( File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/paramiko/config.py", line 389, in _does_match passed = invoke.run(exec_cmd, hide="stdout", warn=True).ok File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/invoke/__init__.py", line 48, in run return Context().run(command, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/invoke/context.py", line 94, in run return self._run(runner, command, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/invoke/context.py", line 101, in _run return runner.run(command, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/invoke/runners.py", line 363, in run return self._run_body(command, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/invoke/runners.py", line 411, in _run_body self.start(command, self.opts["shell"], self.env) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/invoke/runners.py", line 1271, in start self.process = Popen( File "/usr/lib/python3.8/subprocess.py", line 854, in __init__ self._execute_child(args, executable, preexec_fn, close_fds, File "/usr/lib/python3.8/subprocess.py", line 1637, in _execute_child self.pid = _posixsubprocess.fork_exec( AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'fork_exec' This is runnning a single application:- chris$ pyhoca-cli Digikam pyhoca-cli[19161] NOTICE: preparing requested X2Go session pyhoca-cli[19161] (PyHocaCLI) NOTICE: preparing requested X2Go session pyhoca-cli[19161] (x2gosessregistry-pylib) NOTICE: registering X2Go session Pyhoca-Client_Session... pyhoca-cli[19161] (x2goclient-pylib) NOTICE: initializing X2Go session... pyhoca-cli[19161] (x2gocontrolsession-pylib) NOTICE: connecting to [Digikam]:22 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pyhoca-cli", line 454, in <module> thisPyHocaCLI.authenticate() File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pyhoca/cli/frontend.py", line 532, in authenticate self._X2GoClient__connect_session(self.x2go_session_hash, username=_username, password=password, passphrase=passphrase, force_password_auth=force_password_auth) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/x2go/client.py", line 1392, in connect_session _success = self.session_registry(session_uuid).connect(username=username, File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/x2go/session.py", line 1387, in connect self.connected = self.control_session.connect(self.server, File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/x2go/backends/control/plain.py", line 1031, in connect paramiko.SSHClient.connect(self, _hostname, port=port, username=username, pkey=None, password=passphrase, File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/paramiko/client.py", line 340, in connect to_try = list(self._families_and_addresses(hostname, port)) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/paramiko/client.py", line 203, in _families_and_addresses addrinfos = socket.getaddrinfo( File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gevent/_socketcommon.py", line 212, in getaddrinfo addrlist = get_hub().resolver.getaddrinfo(host, port, family, type, proto, flags) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gevent/resolver/thread.py", line 65, in getaddrinfo return self.pool.apply(_socket.getaddrinfo, args, kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gevent/pool.py", line 159, in apply return self.spawn(func, *args, **kwds).get() File "src/gevent/event.py", line 268, in gevent._event.AsyncResult.get File "src/gevent/event.py", line 296, in gevent._event.AsyncResult.get File "src/gevent/event.py", line 286, in gevent._event.AsyncResult.get File "src/gevent/event.py", line 266, in gevent._event.AsyncResult._raise_exception File "src/gevent/event.py", line 211, in gevent._event.AsyncResult.exc_info.__get__ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gevent/_tblib.py", line 371, in g return f(a) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gevent/_tblib.py", line 432, in load_traceback return loads(s) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gevent/_tblib.py", line 337, in unpickle_traceback return ret.as_traceback() File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gevent/_tblib.py", line 202, in as_traceback code = CodeType( TypeError: an integer is required (got type bytes) -- Chris Green

x2go session crashes xfwm4
by Chris Green 18 Jan '21

18 Jan '21

I've recently upgraded my system to xubuntu 20.10 and x2go sessions now crash the xfwm4 window manager. After restarting xfwm4 from a terminal window I see the following crash report when I run another x2go session:- xfwm4:15183): Gdk-ERROR **: 11:27:33.867: The program 'xfwm4' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'XSyncBadAlarm'. (Details: serial 213260 error_code 135 request_code 134 (SYNC) minor_code 11) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped) Is this a bug in xfwm4 or in x2go? -- Chris Green

Missing dependency for pyhoca-cli
by Chris Green 18 Jan '21

18 Jan '21

I just installed (using synaptic, i.e. apt) pyhoca-cli on my xubuntu 20.10 system and it dies with a ModuleNotFoundError :- chris$ pyhoca-cli esprimo Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pyhoca-cli", line 439, in <module> parser, args = parseargs() File "/usr/bin/pyhoca-cli", line 397, in parseargs ssh_host = ssh_config.lookup(a.server) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/paramiko/config.py", line 223, in lookup options = self._lookup(hostname=hostname) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/paramiko/config.py", line 250, in _lookup or self._does_match( File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/paramiko/config.py", line 387, in _does_match raise invoke_import_error File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/paramiko/config.py", line 36, in <module> import invoke ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'invoke' Easily fixed by installing python3-invoke but presumably there's a missing dependency. However see my other report - pyhoca-cli seems very broken on xubuntu 20.10. -- Chris Green
