Mac OSX and keyboard
by Paul van der Vlis 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

Hello, Is X2goclient working on Mac OSX? I read some messages that there are keyboard problems. Not sure they are gone. Here is such a message, with a link to another message: http://www.mail-archive.com/x2go-user@lists.berlios.de/msg00632.html When the problem is fixed, is this also the case for the Lenny version of X2go? (I have a customer with Macs who does not want to upgrade because the office will be closed in a few months.) With regards, Paul van der Vlis. -- Paul van der Vlis Linux systeembeheer, Groningen http://www.vandervlis.nl

Asyncron bandwith issue
by Kjetil Fleten 01 Sep '14

01 Sep '14

Hi One of my users have a 20/3 Mb/s connection, and experience problems when he connects to our server. The problem is that the icons do not refresh, and that the desktop stalles if he does certain actions, like right-clicking a mailbox folder in Thunderbird to display a list of options. The problem does not occur, if the same user log in from a 20/20 connection, or even a 3G dongle with approx 3 Mb bandwith. Continous ping test with packet size of 25000, for 3 hours shows no packet dropped to the server for his 20/3 connection. What would you recommend as proper network settings, or how we troubleshoot the issue ? regards Kjetil Fleten

installing x2go on CentOS 6 , SQLite db error
by Grigory Shamov 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

Dear x2go Users, I have tried to install x2go (EPEL 6 version) to a CentOS 6.5 machine. The installation worked (I've had to add fuse and fuse-sshfs and a few perl modules, including perl-SQLite-DBD). However when I try to connect a client, or to run x2golistsessions on the server, I get the following error: Connection failed DBD::SQLite::db prepare failed: no such table: sessions at /usr/lib64/x2go/x2gosqlitewrapper.pl line 467. Can't call method "execute" on an undefined value at /usr/lib64/x2go/x2gosqlitewrapper.pl line 475. Could you please suggest how this problem is to be fixed? Thank you very much in advance! -- Grigory Shamov HPC Analyst, Tech. Site Lead, Westgrid/Compute Canada E2-588 EITC Building, University of Manitoba (204) 474-9625

Hi, I have an ubuntu 12.04 installed in a kvm host. In this ubuntu, I have installed x2goserver. I have configured /etc/x2go/x2goagent.options with # X2GO_NXAGENT_DEFAULT_OPTIONS+=" -extension GLX" I can do a ssh -X to the ubuntu server and run glxgears. Also, glxinfo. I connect to the ubuntu server with x2goclient, and open a X session (UNITY), but I cannot run any glx program, or Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig or simply Error [RenderEngine.cc:641] Unable to create glx visual Any idea? thanks in advance, Leopold -- -- Linux User 152692 Catalonia

Windows client closes session when inactive
by Hanak 23 Aug '14

23 Aug '14

Hello. I am using nx-client to run some linux programs on windows. I wanted to switch to x2go but I experience problems with disconnecting/terminating my session after some time of inactivity. That means, when I e.g. minimize my x2goclient window then after some time (cca 7-12 minutes) the session terminates without any explanation. This happens only in windows client, not in linux client. I tried to look the content of session.log file on the server, but I don't see anything useful: running as X2Go Agent NXAGENT - Version 3.5.0 Copyright (C) 2001, 2011 NoMachine.

x2goplugin on windows
by Klaus Fuerstberger 22 Aug '14

22 Aug '14

Hello, I compiled the npx2goplugin.dll plugin and put it in the plugins directory of a firefox portable or chrome portable on Windows 7 or Windows XP. In the list of installed plugins the plugin is listed and activated in both browsers but when I call the webserver address of the x2go Site, Chrome says the plugin cannot be loaded and Firefox stays at a white window. The server side is working fine because a linux client with a precompiled x2goclient-plugin can connect without any problems. I installed the prerequisites as listed in http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:development:build-howto-mswin:x2goclient to compile the plugin. - Fetched the latest git version 4.0.3.0 - Adapted x2goclient\x2goclient.rc because of an compile error - Adapted x2goclient\qtbrowserplugin-2.4_1-opensource\src\qtbrowserplugin_p.h because of an compile error - run config_win_plugin.bat and build_win_plugin.bat The plugin npx2goplugin.dll is created with a size of 12752 KB. When I try to run this plugin on the same host where the build environment is installed, the plugin is loaded with an error "X-Server cannot be started", but I think this is a configuration error but at least it gets loaded. Does this mean, that some (Qt?) libraries are missing for running the plugin on hosts with no Qt build environment? Did I miss something? Has anyone successful compiled and is using the x2goplugin for windows? Thanks for your help! Klaus

Resume from different client?
by Les Mikesell 18 Aug '14

18 Aug '14

I'd like to be able to keep one x2go session running but disconnect and resume from different clients (Windows desktop, Mac, Windows Laptop), but generally when I try to connect from a client other than the one that started the session I can see the session listed but the resume option is grayed out. Should this work or are there some constraints on the client type or hardware differences? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

I have one major problem with using X2Go, which is such a wonderful piece of software. No matter what I did, I could not get it to understand Alt-Tab for switching windows. Some say using Ctrl - Alt - K works but it has no effect. Could someone please state clearly how this can be done. thanks Steve ps. Using Debian and X2Go (on both server and client). I connect as XFCE which is also my client desktop.

Can sessions of one user on different hosts collide?
by Holger Krause 10 Aug '14

10 Aug '14

Dear list, On four debian wheezy machines I have X2Go server running without any problems since several weeks. There are about twenty users regularly connecting from their personal windows PCs. Usually at any given time on every server there are a handful of active/paused sessions running concurrently. The home directories are exported via NFS from a file server and shared among the X2Go servers. Today, one user ('abbasi') told me, that since one or two weeks, he can only have one active connection to two of the servers (named 'lucas' and 'perrin') at a time, while before he could have active connections to both of them in parallel. Let me demonstrate an example with the error messages he gets. An extract of his session logs I put at the end of this mail. Initially the user has one (LXDE) session running on both, 'lucas' and 'perrin', but only the connection to 'perrin' is open (at 17:35). 17:36 User resumes session on 'lucas', which lets the 'perrin' connection close. 17:38 User resumes session on 'perrin'. The x2go client maintaining the connection to 'lucas' yields an error message labeled 'X2Go - 50': "No response received from the remote server. Do you want to terminate the current session? (Yes/No)" With no answer given, a second error message pops up some seconds later: "The connection with the remote server was shut down. Please check the state of your network connection. (OK)". Later on the user terminated LXDE on 'perrin' and logged in again, again loosing the connection to 'lucas'. Output of x2golistsessions_root is: root@perrin:~# x2golistsessions_root |grep abbasi 23451|abbasi-50-1407426323_stDLXDE_dp32|50|perrin|S|2014-08-07T17:45:24| ab801814ece01b66cf5b9095ef08d537|134.99.208.12|30001|30002| 2014-08-07T17:50:07|abbasi|10878|30003| root@lucas:/tmp# x2golistsessions_root |grep abbasi 31315|abbasi-50-1401721407_stDLXDE_dp32|50|lucas|S|2014-06-02T17:03:27| 2e6c06bec50eb7f89b1d165590a0a54d|134.99.208.12|30001|30002| 2014-08-07T17:45:27|abbasi|5715851|30003| What got my attention is, the sessions on both servers coincidentally having the same <port> (50), <gr_port> (30001) and <snd_port> (30002). Could this lead to confusion for the 'peer proxy' mentioned in the 'Error:' line in the 'lucas'-log? Looking forward to any suggestion, how to improve this situation. Thanks in advance!

FYI about X2Go Client for Windows 4.0.2.1+hotfix1+build2 and bug #564
by Michael DePaulo 08 Aug '14

08 Aug '14

TLDR: I released X2Go Client for Windows 4.0.2.1+hotfix1+build2 in order to update the bundled openssl to 1.0.1i (security fixes), but bug #564 was introduced and it is bad enough that I do not recommend using it yet. Continue to use 4.0.2.1+hotfix1. X2Go Devs, I also want to know if I should announce the release anyway on x2go-announcements. So I released X2Go Client for Windows 4.0.2.1+hotfix1+build2 in the sense that I did the following: 1. Uploaded it to http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/x2goclient/releases/4.0.2.1+hotf… 2. Generated the .md5 and .sha1 files However, I did not do the following yet: 1. Announce it on x2go-announcements (I'm not sure if I should announce it or not yet.) 2. Update the wiki page http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:release-notes-mswin:x2goclient-4.0.2.1 (I'll do so tomorrow, I need to get some lseep now.) I haven't announced it yet because I discovered bug #564 while testing it http://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=564 As I explained in the bug report, I am shocked that a regression like this was introduced because I thought that openssl 1.0.1* updates were very unlikely to introduce regressions. And I thought that there was never a need to recompile anything due to these updates. (If 1.0.2 or 1.1.0 came out, then there would be a need to recompile.) This is why I didn't test the updated build of x2goclient before posting it to code.x2go.org/releases/ . I will look into this further tomorrow. In the meantime, I recommend staying with 4.0.2.1+hotfix1 until I fix this bug (or someone else fixes it.) I also want to know if I should announce the release anyway on x2go-announcements. -Mike#2

Windows X2go client vs synergy
by Les Mikesell 29 Jul '14

29 Jul '14

My main desktop computer is a windows box and I run 'synergy' to share it's keyboard mouse with a laptop that is generally sitting on it's left side. However, when x2go is also running on the desktop with an active display window it seems to interfere with synergy. When the mouse cursor hits the left edge of the desktop screen, it should 'appear' to move to the laptop - with synergy transferring the keyboard/mouse control to the laptop until the cursor comes back to the right edge of the laptop screen. When x2go has an active screen, even if it is not positioned near the left edge of the physical screen the cursor just disappears there instead of being picked up by synergy and shown on the laptop client - although it does seem to recognize when it has moved back approximately the same distance to reappear on the desktop. Is there any way to avoid this conflict - or help debug it further? I don't have this problem when using NX/freenx in a similar way. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

Slow Performance with Certain Apps on Ubuntu 14.04
by Eric Sirianni 26 Jul '14

26 Jul '14

I'm noticing some very sluggish GUI behavior on certain applications when using x2go. I'm using x2go with a Windows client against an Ubuntu 14.04 server using LXDE window manager. Certain graphical applications are very slow (to the point of being unusable): - gedit - eclipse - Sublime Text - Google Chrome Other graphical applications perform quite well: - Firefox - Terminator - Libreoffice I suspected it was a 'libcairo2' issue, as I've seen this before on older Ubuntu systems. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32014 However, both gedit and libreoffice use libcairo2 and exhibit vastly different performance: $ ldd /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin | grep cairo libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 (0x00007fbbdfa13000) libcairo.so.2 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcairo.so.2 (0x00007fbbdf708000) $ ldd `which gedit` | grep cairo libcairo.so.2 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcairo.so.2 (0x00007f898c8e9000) libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 (0x00007f898afbb000) libcairo-gobject.so.2 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcairo-gobject.so.2 (0x00007f898a430000) Could it be a GTK version thing? Anyone have any ideas? Not sure what the commonality is between applications that perform well vs. poorly and where to go from here. Thanks, Eric

x2goclient: english version not installable
by Andreas Schaupp 21 Jul '14

21 Jul '14

I'm trying to install the English version of x2goclient on Windows 7. During the installation process I can select German or English, but regardless what I select there, the installer always installs the German version. I've downloaded x2goclient 4.0.2.1 version from http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/x2goclient/releases/ I've also tried older versions from this directory, but still got the same result, the english version is selectable but isn't installed after selction. I have this problem on both german and english version of Windows 7, 64bit.

x2go client timeout when x2goagent cannot resolve ip
by Nikolaos Kefalas 21 Jul '14

21 Jul '14

I have an Ubuntu 14.04 x64 system with x2go PPA, where certain users are restricted from accessing the Internet, but only local network and loopack access is allowed. When i try to login from a x2go-client from another system, the client connects to the x2goserver but after while it timeouts. I suspect that the x2goagent which runs with user uid tries to resolve the incoming ip and stalls there waiting the reverse dns lookup to be completed. Is any way to disable ip address reverse dns lookup for x2goagent? Best regards, Nikolaos Kefalas

Added wiki page doc:de-compat "Desktop Environment Compatibility"
by Michael DePaulo 16 Jul '14

16 Jul '14

http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:de-compat Contributions are welcome. More info per distro and release of distro is needed. For example, which exact packages to install for GNOME3. Also, references/links should be inserted throughout the wiki. I've added a few. Also, I tried to add a link to it on the "X2Go Documentation" box on the home page, but when I did so, the Documentation box became taller than the "Get Support" box, which in turn looks like crap. When I tried to add a single newline to the "Get Support" box according to the documentation here: https://www.dokuwiki.org/wiki:syntax#basic_text_formatting I instead added 2 new lines, so the "Get Support" box became taller than the "X2Go Documentation" box. -Mike#2

nice article - Using WikID with x2go for 2 factor authentication
by brian mullan 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

This just popped up on HowToForge as a new article post so I wanted to make others aware of it: Securing X2Go On Ubuntu Precise With WiKID Two-Factor Authentication In this document we are going to demonstrate how to implement two-factor authentication from WiKID <http://www.wikidsystems.com/> for remote desktop on an Ubuntu 12.04 server using X2Go. The WiKID Strong Authentication System is a commercial/open source two-factor authentication solution. X2Go <http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:newtox2go> is an NX-based remote desktop tool. First, we will configure a domain on the WiKID server, then add the targeted server as a network client to the WiKID server, and finally configure the Ubuntu Precise box for x2go using pam-radius. Note that if you already have a server configured as an SSH gateway box with pam-radius, you can simply add X2Go to and it will work.
