Desktop sharing: "No shared desktop found"
by Jens Bürger 05 May '18

05 May '18

Dear all, I tried to set up desktop sharing as described here: https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:usage:desktop-sharing all locally in the same LAN segment, so forwarding of port 22 shouldn’t be an issue. On a session, I start x2godesktopsharing and active sharing of the session. On another client I try to connect to the server as described but I only get a message „No shared desktop found“. What should I check? Kind regards, Jens

X2go session won't connect
by Paul Borowicz 03 May '18

03 May '18

I've been wrestling with a strange error that only seemed to be affecting my Linux laptop (OpenSUSE Tumbleweed), connecting to my Linux server (OpenSUSE LEAP). Sessions seemed to start, but wouldn't connect. If I tried to connect a 2nd time, it appeared to offer me an existing session, but would not connect. The client scrolled errors related to "unknown remote host 'localhost', and "unable to resolve remote host 'localhost'. Turned out I had removed the localhost entry from my /etc/hosts file. ------------ /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost --------- Adding this back, fixed this problem. I'm sending this email in case it is helpful to others. I couldn't seem to find any documentation mentioning localhost. Paul Borowicz

X2Go TCE classic fails / use TCE-Live instead?
by Jens Bürger 02 May '18

02 May '18

Dear people of X2Go, I did a fresh install of Debian 9 in a VM. I installed X2Go as stated here: https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:installation:x2goserver Then I tried to install the thin client environment as explained here: https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:advanced:tce:install I did not manage to get it running. First, I tried x2gothinclient_create with mainly the default options. The process aborted, in between 404s came up because the x2go-repos apparently don’t have wheezy support anymore. Then I switched to stretch and tried again. This seemed to work out, but the following links in /srv/tftp are broken (i.e. the files are missing) pxelinux.0 -> /usr/lib/syslinux/pxelinux.0 vesamenu.c32 -> /usr/lib/syslinux/vesamenu.c32 memtest86+.bin -> /opt/x2gothinclient/chroot/boot/memtest86+.bin In a third try, I changed the release to jessie and started x2gothinclient_create over. The process then aborts with unmet dependencies of x2goclient-chroot… I meanwhile noticed the existence of TCE Live, but stating "This page is very much Work in Progess. Please leave a note on x2go-user(a)lists.x2go.org if you're interested in trying this out, so we can guide you along if something goes wrong.“ So, here I am :) My first question is: what is the recommended method for thin client environment? What do I need to consider if I want to use the Live method? Kind regards, Jens

Best Linux Distro for x2go server sessions as of April 2018?
by John Stoffel 14 Apr '18

14 Apr '18

Guys, So what's the best linux distro to run x2go on these days, in terms of the server, the system you connect to? Which would people recommend? RHEL 7.x is out, as are probably a bunch of the newer Gnome 3 desktops. Does anything running MATE work well? Running Debian 9.3 with lxde seems to work pretty well, using client 4.1.1.1 to connect. But at my $WORK, where we're mostly RHEL/CentOS based, it looks like sticking with CentOS 6.9 is the best solution currently. Which kinda stinks. Does Fedora work better or at least just as well when running the Mate desktop? John

Problem with X2Go 4.0.1.22-2 on Centos 7.3
by Roger Moye 13 Apr '18

13 Apr '18

We are having trouble getting our X2Go client on Windows to connect to our Linux server. The Linux server is running Centos 7.3 and these RPMs: [root@hre-rsgpul01 admin-rmoye]# rpm -qa |grep -i x2go x2goserver-xsession-4.0.1.22-2.el7.x86_64 x2goagent-3.5.0.33-4.el7.x86_64 x2goserver-4.0.1.22-2.el7.x86_64 The X2Go client is 4.1.1.1 on Windows. When we login to the server, the X2Go window appears as if the Linux desktop is about to appear and then the session is terminated. The only thing I see that is noteworthy in /var/log/messages on the server is: /usr/bin/x2goruncommand: dbus wrapper not available This error does NOT appear on servers where we are able to connect successfully. However, those servers are running an older version of X2Go server. I have not been able to find any explanation for what this error means or how to avoid it. We have tried running different window managers like XFCE and GNOME and all produce the same result. Can anyone shed any light on this?

freebsd
by Rance Hall 06 Apr '18

06 Apr '18

Folks: I've switched my desktop and server to Freebsd. And am looking for an x2go like experience. I see that the x2go client is in ports/pkgs but the x2go server is not. Seems like an incomplete match if you ask me. This setup will allow me to control my work machines from home, but not allow me to control my home machines from work. vnc tunneled over vpn/ssh is rather slow and awkward in some cases. Suggestions welcome.

X2Go crashes when I run Thunderbird
by Tristan Miller 05 Apr '18

05 Apr '18

Dear all, Lately whenever I try to run Thunderbird through X2Go, the session suddenly closes. The session doesn't get suspended, since when I reconnect I need to create a new session rather than resuming the old one. I assume that the server is crashing or otherwise failing, since the client remains open. Any idea what the problem is or how I can go about diagnosing this? I'm running x2goclient 4.1.0.0 on openSUSE Leap 42.3 and x2goserver 4.0.1.20 on openSUSE Tumbleweed.

X2Go Client suddenly failing to connect
by Ivan Gomez 29 Mar '18

29 Mar '18

Dear all, I have been using X2Go client in the current environment for quite a while now without issues. Seemingly all of sudden today an outage happened where X2Go will no longer launch any applications. The connection seems to succeed in the backend: [cid:image001.png@01D3C558.EB0F51C0] However, the client closes the connection before anything happens. Running the client with the debug terminal shows these messages: [cid:image002.png@01D3C559.58693F10] I've validated that I can SSH to the server using other tools and start the X11 applications from command line directly. Any guidance or pointers to figure out why X2Go stopped working would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Ivan G.

We have a user who is unable to launch X2go, receiving the following errors: Conection Failed ~/Xiki/bin/.xsh line (...) bind : warning : line editing not enabled Is this maybe a known conflict between key mappings ? I am not very familiar with the Xiki shell. Are there any workarounds people can offer? Thanks for your collective expertise, - Karl

x2go stops working on some Ubuntu 14.04 boxes
by Qianqian Fang 26 Mar '18

26 Mar '18

Dear list, I run a small cluster for my lab, including about 12 Linux boxes running Ubuntu 14.04 (1x with 16.04). We have been using x2go and ssh as the primary tool to access these computing resources. Recently (started a month ago), I noticed there were package updates of x2go server (now 4.1.0.0-0-1517), client (now 4.1.1.1-0-1719) and the nx11 libraries, on the other hand, I started having difficulty log on to some of my servers, and this list starts to grow. I am not sure if this was the result of the recent package upgrade, or the reason motivated the package updates, but I started seeing the below two types of messages: For some of the machines, I saw the below message initially: *The remote proxy closed the connection while negotiating* ** *the session. This may be due to the wrong authentication* ** *credentials passed to the server.* for some other servers, I am getting the below message: *Connection failed.**Failed to start X2Go Agent session with ID account-xxxxxx_stDXFCE_dp24. X2Go Agent terminated unexpectedly. Aborting session startup. * The 1st message appeared first, after I tried to restart x2goserver or rebooting the machine, or apply the updates, deleting the ~/.x2go folder, or a reboot, those machines typically display the 2nd message; none of those were fixed using the above procedures. right now, I have about 2/3 of the my servers are not accessible via x2go. I would like to know if there is a workaround. thanks Qianqian

x2go - Problems (flicker) with fullscreen on Windows 10 after x2go server update
by Johannes Kind 26 Mar '18

26 Mar '18

Hi, I'm running x2goserver on Xubuntu 14.04. After updating x2go server via "apt-get --dist-upgrade" we have problems using x2go-client on MS Windows. We usually start the session in window-mode and by double-click on the head bar the window goes to fullscreen. After last upgrade fullscreen does not work anymore, the window flickers and is not really usable. Could anyone help? Which additional information do you need? I wanted to revert installation, but in cache there is just the current version: (f8-automation) johannesk@mgn-wx-rd-sit:~/dev/f8-automation$ apt-cache showpkg x2goserver Package: x2goserver Versions: 4.1.0.0-0~1517~ubuntu14.04.1 (/var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_x2go_stable_ubuntu_dists_trusty_main_binary-amd64_Packages) (/var/lib/dpkg/status) Description Language: File: /var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_x2go_stable_ubuntu_dists_trusty_main_binary-amd64_Packages MD5: e785564ddcdc9f9013b7175366b891a0 Description Language: en File: /var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_x2go_stable_ubuntu_dists_trusty_main_i18n_Translation-en MD5: e785564ddcdc9f9013b7175366b891a0 Reverse Depends: x2goserver-common:i386,x2goserver 4.1.0.0-0~ x2goserver-common:i386,x2goserver 4.1.0.0-0~ libx2go-server-db-perl:i386,x2goserver 4.1.0.0-0~ libx2go-server-db-perl:i386,x2goserver 4.1.0.0-0~ x2goserver:i386,x2goserver x2goserver-x2goagent,x2goserver 4.0.1.20~ x2goserver-x2goagent,x2goserver 4.0.1.20~ x2goserver-x2goagent,x2goserver x2gomatebindings,x2goserver 4.0.1.4-0~ x2gobroker-agent,x2goserver 4.0.1.16-0~ x2goserver-common,x2goserver 4.1.0.0-0~ x2goserver-common,x2goserver 4.1.0.0-0~ libx2go-server-db-perl,x2goserver 4.1.0.0-0~ libx2go-server-db-perl,x2goserver 4.1.0.0-0~ x2goserver-fmbindings,x2goserver 4.1.0.0-0~1517~ubuntu14.04.1.1~ x2goserver-fmbindings,x2goserver 4.1.0.0-0~1517~ubuntu14.04.1 x2goserver-pyhoca,x2goserver 4.0.1.22-0~1197~ubuntu14.04.1.1~ x2goserver-pyhoca,x2goserver 4.0.1.22-0~1197~ubuntu14.04.1 x2goserver-xsession,x2goserver 4.1.0.0-0~1517~ubuntu14.04.1.1~ x2goserver-xsession,x2goserver 4.1.0.0-0~1517~ubuntu14.04.1 x2goserver-printing,x2goserver 4.1.0.0-0~1517~ubuntu14.04.1.1~ x2goserver-printing,x2goserver 4.1.0.0-0~1517~ubuntu14.04.1 x2golxdebindings,x2goserver 3.0.99.6-0~ x2goserver-compat,x2goserver 4.0.1.22-0~1197~ubuntu14.04.1.1~ x2goserver-compat,x2goserver 4.0.1.22-0~1197~ubuntu14.04.1 plasma-widget-x2go,x2goserver 3.1.1.2-0~ x2goserver-extensions,x2goserver 4.1.0.0-0~1517~ubuntu14.04.1.1~ x2goserver-extensions,x2goserver 4.1.0.0-0~1517~ubuntu14.04.1 x2godesktopsharing,x2goserver 4.0.0.0-0~ x2goagent,x2goserver x2goagent,x2goserver 4.0.1.21-0~ x2goagent,x2goserver 4.0.1.21-0~ x2goagent,x2goserver Dependencies: 4.1.0.0-0~1517~ubuntu14.04.1 - x2goserver-common (2 4.1.0.0-0~1517~ubuntu14.04.1) x2goserver-common (3 4.1.0.0-0~1517~ubuntu14.04.1.1~) debconf (18 0.5) debconf-2.0 (0 (null)) init-system-helpers (2 1.13~) libfile-basedir-perl (0 (null)) libfile-which-perl (0 (null)) libtry-tiny-perl (0 (null)) libswitch-perl (0 (null)) libx2go-server-perl (2 4.1.0.0-0~1517~ubuntu14.04.1) libx2go-server-perl (3 4.1.0.0-0~1517~ubuntu14.04.1.1~) x2goserver-x2goagent (2 4.1.0.0-0~1517~ubuntu14.04.1) x2goserver-x2goagent (3 4.1.0.0-0~1517~ubuntu14.04.1.1~) bash (0 (null)) lsof (0 (null)) bc (0 (null)) openssh-client (0 (null)) openssh-server (0 (null)) pwgen (0 (null)) xauth (0 (null)) psmisc (0 (null)) net-tools (0 (null)) xfonts-base (0 (null)) xkb-data (0 (null)) rdesktop (0 (null)) pulseaudio-utils (0 (null)) sshfs (0 (null)) x11-apps (0 (null)) x11-session-utils (0 (null)) x11-utils (0 (null)) x11-xfs-utils (0 (null)) x11-xkb-utils (0 (null)) x11-xserver-utils (0 (null)) fontconfig (0 (null)) xinit (0 (null)) x2goserver-extensions (2 4.1.0.0-0~1517~ubuntu14.04.1) x2goserver-extensions (3 4.1.0.0-0~1517~ubuntu14.04.1.1~) x2goserver-xsession (2 4.1.0.0-0~1517~ubuntu14.04.1) x2goserver-xsession (3 4.1.0.0-0~1517~ubuntu14.04.1.1~) x2goserver-fmbindings (2 4.1.0.0-0~1517~ubuntu14.04.1) x2goserver-fmbindings (3 4.1.0.0-0~1517~ubuntu14.04.1.1~) x2goserver-printing (2 4.1.0.0-0~1517~ubuntu14.04.1) x2goserver-printing (3 4.1.0.0-0~1517~ubuntu14.04.1.1~) x2godesktopsharing (3 3.1.1.2-0~) x2godesktopsharing:i386 (3 3.1.1.2-0~) x2goserver-compat (0 (null)) x2goserver-compat:i386 (0 (null)) x2goserver-home (0 (null)) x2goserver-home:i386 (0 (null)) x2goserver-one (0 (null)) x2goserver-one:i386 (0 (null)) x2goserver-pyhoca (0 (null)) x2goserver-pyhoca:i386 (0 (null)) x2goserver-compat (0 (null)) x2goserver-compat:i386 (0 (null)) x2goserver-home (0 (null)) x2goserver-home:i386 (0 (null)) x2goserver-one (0 (null)) x2goserver-one:i386 (0 (null)) x2goserver-pyhoca (0 (null)) x2goserver-pyhoca:i386 (0 (null)) x2goserver:i386 (0 (null)) Provides: 4.1.0.0-0~1517~ubuntu14.04.1 - Reverse Provides: Thanks in advance and best regards, Johannes Kind ADVA SE Märzenquelle 1-3 98617 Meiningen Germany +49 3693 450 325

MxLinux
by Robert Dinse 25 Mar '18

Found the issue with MxLinux, had monkeysphere installed, it causes perl to be called with the -T flag, and this made having insecure directories such as /etc or '.' in your $PATH problematic. -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Eskimo North Linux Friendly Internet Access, Shell Accounts, and Hosting.

Stupid User Tricks
by Robert Dinse 25 Mar '18

25 Mar '18

I've installed x2go on an mxlinux system. It works as root, but as an ordinary user it starts to start then disconnects. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot? Ssh works to the same box without errors. -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Eskimo North Linux Friendly Internet Access, Shell Accounts, and Hosting.

timeout connecting to new server
by Michael Stauffer 24 Mar '18

24 Mar '18

CentOS 7.4 Hi, I've installed x2go using yum on a new server (yum --enablerepo="epel" install x2goserver, and yum --enablerepo="epel" install x2goserver-xsession) and rebooted it. I also installed MATE and Xfce packages. However when I try to connect with x2go client (4.1.1.1 on windows 10), I get a timeout. Connecting to our old x2go server works. I've disabled the firewall for testing but it still times out. I can successfully ssh using x-forwarding to the new x2go server. /var/log/messages doesn't show anything useful. Any thoughts about what might be happening? Thanks -M

Mouse clicks delayed
by Michael Eager 23 Mar '18

23 Mar '18

I'm running Thunderbird on a remote server. Whenever I click on a dropdown menu, it takes about 30 seconds for the application to respond. I can't tell if the delay is in sending the mouse event or in displaying the menu. This does not happen when clicking on buttons (like Print or Reply), but only when there is a dropdown, like ReplyAll or the settings dropdown, or in the menus in a composition window. I don't notice this delay with other applications. There is no delay when I run Thunderbird remotely using "ssh -X". The server is running CentOS 7, kernel-4.15, x2goagent-3.5.0 x2goserver-4.0.1 The client is running Fedora 27, kernel-4.15, x2goclient-4.1.1. -- Michael Eager eager(a)eagerm.com 1960 Park Blvd., Palo Alto, CA 94306
