Hi, I have problems sharing folder from a client to the server on Ubuntu 11.10 Both the x2gouser and the user with the active session are members of the fuse group on the server I have installed the stable version of the server and client from the launchpad x2go/stable ppa.

Connection fails when connecting windows client
by christoffer krakou 26 Jan '12

26 Jan '12

Hello X2go-people I have a Ubuntu 11.10 server running X2go. From my own ubuntu i can connect fine with the 3.0.99.04 client from the PPA archive. The server's version is 3.0.99.9. When a Windows client connects (v. 3.0.99.4) to my server, the client program seems to hang at "connecting". On the server, a process called x2gostartsession goes completely nuts and takes up all the system resources. The session is owned by the user trying to log in. What can this be caused by? -- Venlig Hilsen / Best Regards Christoffer Krakou Fleten.net APS

AD integration?
by Jonathan Brown 25 Jan '12

25 Jan '12

Hello, I have been researching various options and it seems that x2go is preferable as it is based on nx and is actively developed. I want to try it out, however just had a quick question on AD integration. I understand there is this ldap option for the client, however, what about just joining the host server to a domain using likewise or centrify, and then once confirmed that users can log in via console and ssh with AD, can we not use the x2go client to log in as AD user? Also would their be a designation such as DOMAIN\\ADusername ? Thanks! -- *"It is only when each individual has achieved inner peace that we will see lasting outer peace in the world" *

Hi All - Is anyone using the x2go plugin? We tried to get it running, have a web server set up, but the plugin links on the website seem to be "in transition". Does anyone have experience using the plugin, and have a copy (not sure that last request makes sense) we could get? Thanks!

Printing Security
by senrabdet＠aol.com 25 Jan '12

25 Jan '12

Hi All - There is a post on the new site re printing security (see below). Does anyone have experience with Possible Solution 1? We're hoping to get a few more pointers, maybe some extra documentation, some "here's how you avoid these pitfalls". Thanks! X2goServer == CUPS Server, latest implementation (as of 20110909): cups-x2go CUPS backend runs as root as root the backend launches x2goprint (without sudo!!!) x2goprint script changes owner ship of PDF file and pushes it into SSHFS share towards the X2go client. using X2go printing locally (X2go server == CUPS server) then security (sudo) is not an issue any more(?) Nope still is (not a big one, though): Using CUPS the user can easily be faked, allowing to fill someone else's quota or print at their home printer. X2goServer != CUPS Server: The Cups-server connects the x2go-Server as x2goprint-user using ssh-key auth. x2goprint-user executes sudo to change the ownership of the PDF file and pushes it into SSHFS share towards the X2go client. This script can currently be exploited. If someone becomes x2goprint he might become root. Possible solution 1 Start a local cups-server for every user Server listens on a File-socket owned by the user Add a PDF-Printer to that server (as the cups-user runs as that user, there should be no issues with file permissions) Import printers from global server + Secure solution, as no other user is involved - Every user needs an extra instance (The extra memory usage should not be too much) Possible solution 2 Write a simple C-Program 'x2goprinter' that is run as the user who wants to print unsing the s-Bit The Program writes stdin to argv[1] in the printing-directory It also checks whether the user is x2goprint or root + Can be easily adopted - x2goprint must be installed by the client - s-bit → Needs security checks

libjpeg-turbo use with X2GO
by Waldek 23 Jan '12

23 Jan '12

Hi, Anybody try to configure for example ubutu to configure x2goserver to use libjpeg-tubro ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/libjpeg-turbo/ ) instead libjpeg ? I have read that for example OpenNX client for neatx or freenx server recommend to use this because libjpeg-turbo have speed improvement than standard libjpeg and it will be use full to reduce transfer for x2go session. I don't know how to configure (or is it possible?) x2goserver on ubutu to use libjpeg-turbo Regards

Why doesn't x2go support ecdsa certificates?
by Joe Millenbach 21 Jan '12

21 Jan '12

I was attempting to use x2go for the first time and ran into the issue where I already had made an existing connection to my target machine using a current OpenSSH connection. This creates the existing default ecdsa certificate in the known_hosts file and somehow breaks x2go. I found a few posts on how to fix this at http://john.wesorick.com/2011/11/issues-installing-x2go.html and https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/x2go-user/2011-October/000448.html, but my question is why doesn't x2go support any certificate type that the underlying SSH client supports? Or why can't it just request the other type of connection and then offer to store the new key? Also I didn't see a bug section on your website so I'm not sure who best to send this to, but the related error dialog needs some clean up. The title has "Authentification" which I've never heard of before. I'd assume it should be "Authentication". And the text inside the dialog has a number of spaces missing that make it look odd. Some that should be between words, and others between words and punctuation. If I knew where to look I'd be happy to edit the source file and pass along the fixed version to someone who knew how to submit it properly. Thanks for your time, Joe

Excessive bandwidth usage
by David Friberg 17 Jan '12

17 Jan '12

Hi, I've been monitoring my bandwidth usage on a Windows client, connected to a Ubuntu x2go server. For me it's about the same as plain X forwarding (something like 10-20MB for a KDE session startup). On http://www.nomachine.com/documentation/building-components.php, they claim this should be closer to 35KB. I have my jpeg compression set to the minimum possible quality, and have selected "modem" connection. I am using the latest PPA update on server side, and the late December build on the Windows client. What am I missing? Dave Friberg phone: (402) 957-2480

how to completely remove/purge and reinstall
by Richard Strysniewicz 17 Jan '12

17 Jan '12

I have been using x2goserver on one ubuntu 10.10 machine and accessing that from two other ubuntu 10.10 machines on the same LAN using x2goclient for many months with no issues. Late last year I started having issues reconnecting to existing sessions. I would like to remove/purge and reinstall everything to see if that clears my issues. What I have done so far is as follows, need I do anything else? server: apt-get remove --purge x2goserver rm -rf ~/.x2go ps -ef | grep x2go, then kill all processes listed apt-get install x2goserver clients: apt-get remove --purge x2goclient rm -rf ~/.x2go rm -rf ~/.x2goclient ps -ef | grep x2go, then kill all processes listed apt-get install x2goclient I tried the above and I get the same reconnection issues with my new installs. I'm hoping there is something I am missing that needs to be deleted/purged/uninstalled. FWIW, my reconnection issues are a seemingly random number of the following messages before I am able to reconnect to an existing session: X2Go - 53 The connection with the remote server was shut down. Please check the state of your network connection. Error Connection failed channel_open_session failed - Writing packet: error on socket (or connection closed): Success If I try long enough (sometimes more than 10 time) the connection will eventually succeed. Thanks, Richard

NX (redistributed) -- x2goagent fully integrated into NX-libs (call for testing)
by Mike Gabriel 13 Jan '12

13 Jan '12

Hi all, recently there has been some noise about X2Go re-working its NX code base. Indeed some quite interesting things have been going on recently around NX and X2Go. During the last weeks we have completely reworked the way we build NX libraries. This has fixed a lot of instability problems people had recently (summer/autumn 2011) already. During this last week we set up the X2Go subproject ,,NX (redistributed)'' (aka nx-libs.git on http://git.x2go.org) The X2Go project's developers (esp. Mike and Reinhard, supported by Alex and Heinz) have decided to re-distribute NX sources as one big tarball that builds with GNU make and contains patches not accepted by NoMachine themselves. The building of the tarball with GNU make already works fine, the ,,make install'' still needs more work. John Williams has agreed to contribute on that (thanks for that!!!). @John: please note that I have uploaded a new tarball containing the functionality described below ;-): http://code.x2go.org/releases/source/nx-libs/nx-libs_3.5.0.5-full.tar.gz During the last days now, we have achieved something that so far has hardly been imaginable (at least to me). We have incorporated three patches into nx-libs.git that allows to turn NX's nxagent into x2goagent during runtime: 01: http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=nx-libs.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/200_nxage… 02: http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=nx-libs.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/201_nxage… 03: http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=nx-libs.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/999_nxage… X2Go's agent is now part of NX and is maintained in nx-libs.git on http://git.x2go.org. The x2goagent package from now on depends on nxagent (as they are one). The x2goagent package provides a symbolic link to nxagent, a separate x2goagent man page and a wrapper script in /usr/bin, nothing else. If nxagent is executed unter the name of x2goagent, the X2GO branding gets activated within nxagent. Also: ,,NX (redistributed)'' is fully FreeNX compliant. Install ,,NX (redistributed)'' from the X2Go package archives and add FreeNX (Ubuntu Launchpad) on top of that. FreeNX and X2Go can now again be installed parallely on the same system. Interesting for migrations or client diversity. This step also allows us to finally abandon the following source projects completely now: nxcomp.git nxcompext.git nxcompshad.git nxproxy.git x2goagent.git See also at the bottom of this page: http://code.x2go.org/gitweb As this is esp. a call-out for testing the new packages(!!!!) here are some short infos on upgrading your X2Go test servers. Packages are available for Debian squeeze, wheezy, sid and Ubuntu lucid, ..., precise. The .deb packages are already available in the X2Go nightly-built repositories: http://wiki.x2go.org/wiki:development:nightly-builds?&#nightly-builds_for_u… Please note, that x2goagent will not install when running ,,apt-get upgrade''. Either you have to run ,,apt-get dist-upgrade'' or explicitly install x2goagent with ,,apt-get install x2goagent''. light+love Mike -- DAS-NETZWERKTEAM mike gabriel, dorfstr. 27, 24245 barmissen fon: +49 (4302) 281418, fax: +49 (4302) 281419 GnuPG Key ID 0xB588399B mail: mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de, http://das-netzwerkteam.de freeBusy: https://mail.das-netzwerkteam.de/freebusy/m.gabriel%40das-netzwerkteam.de.x…

Terminate and resume in 1 click ?
by Jean Gottschalk 05 Jan '12

05 Jan '12

Hello and Happy New Year to everyone! I have been using X2go for a few weeks now, and it works really well. In my application, users keep a session open indefinitely, and carry it from one terminal to another. When doing this, the session is usually still open on a previous terminal, so when taking the session to a new terminal, the user has to first click the terminate button, then the resume button. Wouldn't it be more straightforward to include a terminate operation in the resume button, so that one can resume a session in one click, without clicking the terminate button first, and the client will terminate the session if necessary before resuming it? This is how NXclient works (which I used before). Is there perhaps already a way to do this by modifying a command line argument or a script somewhere? Thank you! Jean

connection issue
by Mike 04 Jan '12

04 Jan '12

Hi to Everyone Have an issue with x2go that is probably a very simple issues but its doing my head in. I have a Ubuntu server with x2go installed as the preferred method of linking up with the desktop ( from OVH). I installed the windows front end of x2go on to both my win 7 pro desk top and work's laptop using default settings. I then started a new session entering all my detail of the server in the appropriate slots and connected to the server no issue first time. Then whilst configuring my server i messed a couple of things up and decided to reinstall the OS , no issue on that front . But this is where the issue lies every time i try to connect to the server now using x2go it says "Authentication Failed: Host key for server has changed , Its is now ( and then gives the key code) for security reasons connection will be stopped" and then the whole x2go program crashes, I have deleted the session and started a new one but same issue. I have even tried to uninstall x2go , then reinstalling but when i do this i always have a session with my ip from the server already in the program ( as if it is leaving a cach somewhere of old sessions) i have been to documents and settings and deleted all hidden .pub files and x2go folders that are left after uninstall. Any body shed any light on this very simple but annoying issue I can connect to the server via putty and NXmachine no issue but x2go is been a little stubborn Regards Mike

Automatic mounting of USB drives
by Jean Gottschalk 20 Dec '11

Hello, I know that it is possible to share folders from the client (such as a plugged in USB drive) with the remote session prior to logging into the session. I would like to know if there is a mechanism by which USB drives mount automatically in the remote session when plugged into the client, while the session is already up? Jean

New user unable to connect from x2goclient on thin client
by Jean Gottschalk 17 Dec '11

17 Dec '11

Hello, I have been using freenx for a few years, and have been looking for something better since freenx is no longer maintained and sound support is shaky. I was very glad to find the x2go project, specially since it works exactly like I imagine with diskless thin clients (I have to use USB sticks to boot my current clients for freenx). Anyway, after being somewhat confused by the outdated info and repositories listed on x2go.org, I found the wiki and was able to install x2goserver (onto Ubuntu ) and configure a PXE thin client environment. To my surprise, the thin clients booted on the first attempt and x2goclient came up, which was very unexpected! Now I have the following problem: - I can login without problem from a windows x2goclient onto my ubuntu x2goserver - however any attempt to login from the pxe booted thin clients fails. The client displays (after starting nxproxy 3.5) Connecting to remote host 'localhost:33001' And then Connection timeout aborting On the server I find these logs: /usr/bin/x2goagent: line 1: -e: command not found NXAGENT - Version 3.4.0 Copyright (C) 2001, 2007 NoMachine. See http://www.nomachine.com/ for more information. Info: Agent running with pid '24505'. Session: Starting session at 'Fri Dec 16 22:11:43 2011'. Info: Proxy running in server mode with pid '24505'.

I understand that there is some kind of callback procedure whereby the client connects to the server, and then the server connects back to the client, and this seems to be failing. I do not know how else to proceed. In addition to version 3.99.0.2 of x2goclient and x2goplugin (which was the one installed by default in the chroot environment), I also tried version 3.99.0.3 from the unstable repository, and an older 3.01-21, all with no luck. Any pointers would be appreciated. Jean

Hi x2go folks, when trying to access my local x2go server using connection type LAN, the connection is refused/gets lost during the startup. It works when setting the connection type is set to WAN or ADSL. The console output of x2goclient is attached. Any hints are appreciated. Thanks in advance.
