I was able to get around the below errors by deleting the user’s .x2go directory. Any reason why this continues to happen? We’re using the nightly builds. Here are some logs.

Black screen of death - please help
by Brian Walsh 13 Oct '17

13 Oct '17

Hi, I've recently upgraded from redhat 7.0 to 7.3 and as such lost some of my useful tools - one of which was x2go. So I reinstalled the relevant rpms and using the same client and config I now can login but just get a blank black screen with no way to open a terminal etc. I'm using XFCE (as I had before) - tries with gnome and few other session types all with the same result. Been googling this but can't seem to get an answer - appreciate any help as my stare is now as black and blank as the screen below! Client side and server side logs are below. There seems to be a problem with the waiting for keyboard to appear in the server logs - not sure how to change this. There is plenty of disk space on server.

Great debugging! Thanks. What feels odd is that there are three entries, two of which are equal. I'm not sure where the third one is coming from - in a quick test, I only see two entries on one of my sessions. Might be related to nxproxy adding another entry via xauth as well, but it still feels odd. Especially given that the two xauth calls in x2gostartagent both use ${HOSTNAME}, if ${HOSTNAME} is only "myhost", there should only be entries for myhost/unix:DISPLAY and myhost:DISPLAY. > For tcsh, I got those: > myhost.ifi.lmu.de/unix:58 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 7212fb8aa466de75ea0224a4d010f5e4 > myhost.ifi.lmu.de:58 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 7212fb8aa466de75ea0224a4d010f5e4 > myhost.ifi.lmu.de:58 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 7212fb8aa466de75ea0224a4d010f5e4 > > And that's the point!

That's very interesting. bash seems to automatically populate HOSTNAME according to its man page, but the tcsh man page doesn't mention HOSTNAME at all -- only HOST, which is populated automatically by the gethostname() libc call and (on my system) returns the short hostname. I guess HOST and HOSTNAME might be the shell equivalents. It gets worse, though. I tested this on OS X, which is a BSD-like system. On this system, tcsh's HOST and bash's HOSTNAME values were the same again, BUT both included the domain name (and, incidentally, the 'hostname' program's default behavior is to print the FQDN hostname, which corresponds to the hostname returned by gethostname().) This may not sound interesting at first, because OS X is not an X2Go Server target, but according to the hostname man pages on FreeBSD, this matches this system's behavior (and it would be nice to eventually support *BSD as well at some point in time, even though that's not possible currently.) Luckily, all of them support the -s flag to hostname, so I'll just make use of it. > I'm not yet sure where this difference comes from, if it's deep inside > bash and tcsh or in some server-wide login scripts from SuSE (it > was not in the users dotfiles, we even removed them all). Whatever sets it, it's not tcsh itself. Likely some global startup script. Care to grep -R HOSTNAME /etc? The problem at hand really is that something sets and exports HOSTNAME. Since this variable is then defined in the environment, bash won't touch it. Clearly x2gostartagent uses bash (even if called from a tcsh shell) - but it inherits the exported HOSTNAME value and stuff goes boom. In my opinion, that's a bug that the distro should take care of. IMHO, the global startup scripts can set HOSTNAME, but shouldn't export this variable to the environment. > Anwyay, I added "setenv HOSTNAME `uname -n`" to my .cshrc and: > x2go works :-) Better use hostname -s. > To make that work for all our users I added > HOSTNAME=${HOSTNAME%%.*} > into x2gostartagent which doesn't harm if HOSTNAME is already > without the domain.

x2go fails with tcsh
by Frank Steiner 09 Oct '17

09 Oct '17

Hi, we just tried to x2go for the first time (client 4.0.5.2 server 4.0.1 on SLED 12). It works fine for users with bash as login shell on the server side, but fails for those with tcsh. According to http://blog.x2go.org/index.php/2012/07/26/x2go-sessions-startups-for-users-… this should have been fixed a while ago, but it seems to have returned. I couldn't see any difference neither in the server log (debug level) nor in the output of "x2goclient --debug". The clients are identical until the line x2go-DEBUG-../src/onmainwindow.cpp:6014> Proxy wrote on stderr: "Session: Session started at 'Fri Oct 6 16:43:09 2017'. and then the tcsh instance exits with Warning: Protocol mismatch or no X authentication data. while the bash version continues with x2go-DEBUG-../src/onmainwindow.cpp:6014> Proxy wrote on stderr: "Info: Established X server connection. The server logs are identical until the line 2017-10-06T16:43:09.173981+02:00 knuth /usr/lib/x2go/x2gocreatesession[21667]: db_createsession called, session ID: fst-76-1507300986_stDmwm_dp24, cookie: 7b94de4d7f6bdbcda01a3dc547c42f66, client: xx:xx:xx:xx, pid: 21620, graphics port: 35760, sound port: 35761, file sharing port: 35762 and then the tcsh instance exits with 2017-10-06T16:43:15.007175+02:00 knuth sshd[21228]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed for user fst 2017-10-06T16:43:15.011998+02:00 knuth systemd-logind[9940]: Removed session 59.

X2Go for non-bash users
by Marlin Whitaker 07 Oct '17

07 Oct '17

We have found that a user whose default shell is tcsh is affected by bash startup files when running X2Go. I assume this because x2go runs under the bash script x2goruncommand and inherits its environment. Is this correct? Is there any way around this problem? Thanks. -- Marlin

It's not a problem of the of the Xserver. A (software) screenshot shows a correct screen, this is what the Xserver "thinks" he would display whereas the real screen is scrambled. But only in the case of a x2go-connection, not in local operations. And - as described before - only when using hardware of somehow low performance together with HDMI connection.

Incomplete redrawing,of screen
by K. Reinhold Trier 02 Oct '17

02 Oct '17

Hello, we are using x2go server and clients both on Ubuntu 16.04. After configuring new clients on small single board boxes like a ZODAC Zbox or a Raspberry Pi 3 we observe severe screen redrawing problems an a very poor performance in video transfer. E.G. shifting a Thunderbird-window over a Firefox-window the latter remains scrambled with rests of Thunderbird. We didn't run into that problem in our former installation based on Ubuntu 12.04. After searching for solutions in the compression method and the CPU-performance of the clients I occasionally found out that the problem disappears after connecting the client's monitor via VGA instead of a HDMI connection. The problem even disappears when a HDI/VGA-Adapter is used and the signal is fed to the monitor via an VGA-input. This was tested with different monitors. In our former clients we only used VGA connected monitors and so we could not see the problems. The optical quality of a HDMI connected Monitor is notably better than that of VGA connected one, furthermore the VGA connection seems to become obsolete, so we would like to stay with HDMI. What can be the reason and is there a way change the HDMI-output in to a suitable configuration? Best regards Reinhold

Hi ! My server run xubuntu 16.04. users can open session and work with applications. When they activate the x2godesktopsharing program, they see the icon on the systray and can activate the desktop sharing. So, then i launch the x2goclient with local desktop as profil. The session openned and i can see all x2godesktopsharing that run on the server. I select a session, ans try ton connecter with all rights. The user as a windoWs wich ask him to accept the connexion. After that, à second Windows come and want tout authentify as the admin user tout allow running applications as a different user. In auth.log, i see something like polkitd .... Any ideas ? Regards.

I have an older Mac Pro 1,1 running Mac OS 10.7.5 and I also get this error if I try to login to a ubuntu server with a normal username but if I login as root it works fine. I tried moving /etc/profile out of the way just to eliminate the bashism's issue, made no difference. Client version 4.1.1.0 and 4.1.0.0 both core dump on my machine with a invalid kernel address error. 4.0.0.1 does not but still gets this same error. I can login to the same Ubuntu server with regular user ID's using 4.1.1.0 under Linux just fine. The customer can login to CentOS machines with this client and same user ID. -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Eskimo North Linux Friendly Internet Access, Shell Accounts, and Hosting.

Hi , I know that it as been discuss at one point in the forum but the thread ended. We are using a tool call Qestasim from mentor graphc. It use TK a GUI widget. The probleme is when using this tool in publish application all the others application seem to freeze and x2go is unusable. This seem to related to NX in some way becasue i have the same issue with openx. Also when using in desktop mode it is all fine.. We have a couple of application with lightweith application written in TK also and it seem a bit slower with those app. Any hint would be appreciate on how to debug this.. Thanks for your help. Carl

Emacs crashes on start
by Roderick Johnstone 18 Sep '17

Hi I'm connecting from a Mac (X2Go Client v. 4.0.5.1 (Qt - 4.8.7)) to Fedora 24 with a xfce session using the x2goserver-4.0.1.19-11.fc24.x86_64 packages from the fedora repos. On starting emacs, I get the error below. This issue seems to have been around for a while in similar forms, but didn't affect me under Fedora 22. Is anyone in a position to confirm this issue on Fedora 24 and suggest a work around? I tried setting various environment variables suggested on various web pages for similar issues and in the bug report noted in the error message (and checked /etc/PROBLEMS), but nothing was effective. emacs starts fine in an xfce session at the console. Thanks Roderick Johnstone X protocol error: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) on protocol request 131 When compiled with GTK, Emacs cannot recover from X disconnects.

Local install of x2goclient, Auth ok but no X Server Windows
by Ruben Di Battista 13 Sep '17

13 Sep '17

Hello everyone, I'm on a work machine where I do not have root access. So I'm installing all the software I need in $HOME/.local. I successfully compiled x2goclient (after compiling a personal version of libssh, but still using nx-libs present in the system), I get the GUI. I can successfully authenticate on the remote server, but nothing shows up. My first guess is the nx-libs too old, or not compatible with the version I compiled. OS: CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core) x2go: 4.1.0 Attached you find ldd output and debug output of x2goclient -- _ -. .´ |∞∞∞∞ ', ; |∞∞∞∞∞∞ ˜˜ |∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ RdB ,., |∞∞∞∞∞∞ .'

Shared directory from Windows client does not mount
by Kalle Tuulos 08 Sep '17

08 Sep '17

I'm having several X2go installations, on several servers and for several users/clients. The problem is that shared directory mounting does not *usually* work on those computers, which have cygwin installed before installing X2go client. For some servers, it works even on those. I can't find out any rule there, as from some client computer, connections to some X2go servers work fine and on some X2go servers, the shared directory does not mount. Anyway, on those computers, which doesn't have cygwin installed, the shared directory mount seems to always work. The only clue I have found is that on /var/log/syslog on the server, there are following lines: ---8<---8<--- /usr/bin/x2gomountdirs[23874]: WARNING: mounting of /cygdrive/C/Users/xxx/X2GO_S~1 failed ---8<---8<--- I have tried to follow hints on some pages, which recommend decreasing permissions on client computer's .x2go/etc directory, but no help. The current installation is: Client: Windows 10 64bit Professional (does not matter, some of installations are Windows 7) X2go client version 4.0.5.2 Server: Ubuntu 16.04 (does not matter - some of servers are 16.10) X2go server version 4.0.1.20-0~1125~ubuntu16.04.01 The server was installed from X2go's PPA source. Thanks, Kalle

x2go settings question
by Woz Tech 07 Sep '17

07 Sep '17

On Windows for x2goclient - is it possible to change the location of the folder located C:\Users\******\.x2go ? I would like to relocate it to pretty much anywhere else besides my Users folder, for example adding it to my installation folder - C:\Program Files (x86)\x2goclient - or even C:\.x2go would be preferable to C:\Users\******\.x2go Thanks, Woz

Unsupported extension used (code 2)
by Anders Lange 31 Aug '17

31 Aug '17

Hi X2Go users I'm running Ubuntu 16.04.3, kernel 4.9.44-54, on an Odroid XU4. When I try to run Kstars within an x2go session I get this error: *failed to get the current screen resources* *The X11 connection broke: Unsupported extension used (code 2)* *XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":50.0"* * after 6 requests (6 known processed) with 0 events remaining.* I can run Kstars directly on the console or remotely using ssh -X forwarding, but not under x2go. It also works fine using Xpra, or VNC. But I would prefer to use X2Go as it has much better performance than VNC, and I really would like to have the whole desktop environment, instead of just the application as I can using Xpra or ssh -X forwarding. Any ideas what I can do to make Kstars work in x2go?

Fwd: x2go client on 32 bit windows 10
by Jörg Sokol 28 Aug '17

28 Aug '17

Hello, I have the following problem: I have on a Windows 10 Home 32 bit the current x2go client installed. I get when I have the printer support in the client activate the following error after logging in, see appendix. This error message I also get on a 64 bit Windows 10. Do you have an idea? The x2go server runs on an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Until now, it is only running on Windows 8.1 64Bit and on another Ubuntu client 16.04 (64 bit). Maybe you can give me a tip, where can I look for? PS: Older versions have not led to success. Many greetings and thanks ... J.

pyhoca-gui and i3wm
by Zenny 26 Aug '17

26 Aug '17

Hi, I am trying to run i3 inside the remote server using pyhoca-gui, but when I use "Custom Command" to 'i3' (also tried with 'exec i3'), it gives me a blank screen of remote desktop to local machine. Can you share how did you manage to connect to remote session running i3 with local machine also running i3? Fyi, I could not get it achieved x2goclient itself, because if the local machine running x2goclient is also running i3 and the remote session, too, the key combination tend to execute only on the local machine running x2goclient, but not inside the remote instance of x2goserver, reportedly a limitation of nx-libs < 3.6 which is still in development and not available in Ubuntu 16.04 till these lines are written.

How to purge zombie sessions after a user is deleted
by Qianqian Fang 24 Aug '17

24 Aug '17

I am not sure if this is a bug, but it looks like x2gocleansessions keeps trying to open some previously saved session created by a deleted user. This leaves a log like the following in the /var/log/auth.log and this log continues to add in an infinite loop Aug 22 18:17:32 taote su[6146]: - ??? root:trainer7 Aug 22 18:17:32 taote su[6147]: No passwd entry for user 'trainer7' Aug 22 18:17:32 taote su[6147]: FAILED su for trainer7 by root if I kill the x2gocleansessions process, the log stops. if I run sudo /usr/sbin/x2golistsessions_root I can see the two zombie sessions 20580|trainer1-51-1502204631_stDXFCE_dp32|51|taote|S|2017-08-08T11:03:51|...|10.15.159.9|33463|33464|2017-08-08T17:56:15|trainer1|1236642|33465| 10905|trainer7-52-1502214187_stDXFCE_dp32|52|taote|S|2017-08-08T13:43:07|...|10.15.138.221|61994|61995|2017-08-08T13:59:17|trainer7|1227086|61996| but could not find a way to purge then. Those two user accounts (trainer1 and trainer7) were created for an event previously, but after the event, both accounts have been deleted. A reboot does not solve the issue. As long as you run "sudo service x2goserver restart", the error log comes back and keeps repeating itself. Can someone suggest a way to purge these zombie sessions so that I don't see the error logs again? thanks

Timeout user sessions
by Ivan Gomez 21 Aug '17

21 Aug '17

Hello everyone, I was wondering if there is a way to timeout sessions after a certain period of inactivity? I have several users launching application through X2Go and they may leave the windows idle for several days. Ideally I would like to be able to kill those sessions after a certain period of inactivity. Is this possible? Thanks!

I've tried xfce and lxde. It seems on fedora 26 each time I try to resume a session it starts from a blank state - not resuming previous session. I did not have this issue with fedora 25. Any ideas?

x2godesktopsharing Connection error No protocol specified xwininfo: error: unable to open display ":0"
by Víctor J. Sánchez 01 Aug '17

01 Aug '17

Hi all, I'm trying to connect to an existing user session (local desktop mode) to help him in a remote host using x2godesktopsharing feature but I always get the next error (the first is in spanish): Error en la conexión No protocol specified xwininfo: error: unable to open display ":0" No protocol specified xwininfo: error: unable to open display ":0" The scenario is: - Remote host: Linux Mint 18.1 x64, Plasma 5 session, nopasswordlogin user and unprivileged (user A) logged in, X2Go Desktop Sharing running and enabled, administrator (sudoer) user B included in group x2godesktopsharing x2goversion: x2goagent: 3.5.0.32 x2godesktopsharing: 3.1.1.3 x2goserver: 4.0.1.20 x2goserver-printing: 4.0.1.20 x2goserver-xsession: 4.0.1.20 - Local host: Fedora 25 Workstation x64, Plasma 5 session x2goversion: cups-x2go: 3.0.1.3 x2goagent: 3.5.0.32 x2goserver: 4.0.1.20 x2goserver-extensions: 4.0.1.20 x2goserver-fmbindings: 4.0.1.20 x2goserver-printing: 4.0.1.20 x2goserver-xsession: 4.0.1.20 Client X2Go v. 4.1.0.0 (Qt - 4.8.7) I also tested on a local host with Windows 10 X2Go client and the error is the same. However other connection types (terminal or published applications) work fine. I've also tried with another remote sessions: XFCE, Cinnamon, ... the same result. Also I've observed that if the remote user A executes in a terminal window the "xhost +" command, when the user B connects to remote host with local desktop mode a window to choose a desktop is presented but only appears "non-existent" user B sessions (user B, screen :0) instead of user A session. What's wrong here? Thanks for your support. Regards.

New X2Go-ThinClientEdition-Live images available; changes to X2Go-TCE-Live build process
by Stefan Baur 28 Jul '17

28 Jul '17

Hi everyone, this is to inform you that new X2Go-TCE-Live images have been built and are available for download here: <http://x2go.baur-itcs.de/x2go-tce-stable/> All files have been checksummed with md5, sha1 and sha256, the resulting files have been clearsigned using my GPG private key. My GPG public key is attached to this message, so you can (and should) verify the integrity of your downloads. Everything you need to know about X2Go-TCE-Live can be found here: <http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:howto:tce> The most important change is probably the one documented in this diff: <http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:howto:tce?do=revisions> It allows you to query which versions of X2Go-TCE are installed/running, if you are using local storage/writable portable media in combination with the updateurl= boot parameter. This is really helpful if you are using some kind of monitoring software - now you can monitor update progress. Also, all log output from our custom startup/if-up scripts is now written to /dev/tty8 as soon as it becomes available, and once a network interface is "up", an attempt is made to sync time using the ntpdate command (at present, it uses the ntp servers that are used as defaults in Debian; the code could be expanded to use custom ones if required). Other than that, the current images now feature a colorful login message both locally as well as via SSH, where details like MAC and IP are highlighted, as well as various improvements to the update mechanism. Please note that there have also been a few changes to the X2Go-TCE-Live build process, so if you're using our scripts to build your own image, you should download current copies from the wiki: <http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:howto:tce#configuring_the_build> <http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:howto:tce#live-patching_the_build> <http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:howto:tce#starting_the_build> Kind Regards, Stefan Baur -- BAUR-ITCS UG (haftungsbeschränkt) Geschäftsführer: Stefan Baur Eichenäckerweg 10, 89081 Ulm | Registergericht Ulm, HRB 724364 Fon/Fax 0731 40 34 66-36/-35 | USt-IdNr.: DE268653243

Compatibility between x2go deb packaged versions

Hi to all ! I've got a x2go server 4.0.1.20 running on debian 8, and I am surprised that my x2goagent 4.1.0.0 running on debian 9 fails to connect to the server... The error message is : "Unable to create SSH tunnel : Connexion error on localhost:1000" Is there a way to maintain compatibility between versions ? What are the recommendations ? Thanks ! Olivier B

Mac Lion

I've been using X2go on Ubuntu linux (client) and a dozen or so flavors of Linux servers without any great problems. I have to compile nx-libs myself on some of them to use the nightly build and not have resolution issues but otherwise all good. I recently setup my Mac with MacOS again (stil have Ubuntu, it is dual boot), and I can not get x2go to work under MacOS. It connects but just gives a black screen. When I connect to the same servers using Ubuntu no issues. -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Eskimo North Linux Friendly Internet Access, Shell Accounts, and Hosting.

Why does X2Go spawn so many shells in single-application mode?
by Tristan Miller 26 Jul '17

26 Jul '17

Greetings. I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem where my PATH environment variable isn't getting set correctly when launching a terminal via X2Go. Perhaps this is a problem with the way I have my Bash files set up, but on the other hand it may be an X2Go bug related to Bug 149: <https://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=149>. Anyway, to trace the execution path, I've added logging messages to all the files sourced by Bash. I immediately noticed that whenever I make an X2Go connection, four(!) separate Bash processes are spawned, not including the Bash process launched by the terminal itself. The parents of all four shells are the sshd process. By contrast, logging in on the console or via SSH results in just a single Bash process. Why does X2Go cause so many shells to be launched in single-application mode? Here are some steps to reproduce my logs, in case anyone is interested: 1. On the X2Go server, add lines such as the following to the beginning and end of /etc/profile and any other files that normally get sourced by Bash shells on your system (/etc/bash.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.profile, ~/.bashrc, etc.): echo $(date) Entering /etc/profile $$ $PPID >>/tmp/login echo $(date) Leaving /etc/profile $$ $PPID >>/tmp/login 2. touch /tmp/login && chmod 666 /tmp/login 3. On the X2Go client, configure a connection to the X2Go Server with the "Session type" set to "Single application". For the command, choose /usr/bin/xterm or your favourite terminal emulator. (Note that /usr/bin/gnome-terminal doesn't work due to <https://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=900>.) Then launch the connection and examine the logs in /tmp/login. Apart from the shell launched by the terminal emulator, you'll see four different shell processes were already launched -- the process ID and parent process ID are the last two fields of the log file. Examining the output of pstree -p shows that these shell processes are no longer running, and that their parents were all sshd. 4. Log in to the X2Go server again, this time from the console or via a vanilla SSH connection, and examine the /tmp/login file. This time you'll notice that the only shell process is the one you're in.

I've tried numerous docs and steps to get it to work and it always says it can't timeout connecting to 192.168.1.137:8888 Can someone PLEASE help me figure this out. if I try the browser plugin it says "invalid plugin" here's the main thing I've been following, as you can see session.conf is not in /etc like he said it would be.

Issue with specific application
by carl langlois 14 Jul '17

14 Jul '17

Hi Let me first say that x2go is working very nicely. Most of our application are running just fine in multiwindows mode. But we notice that application that are base on the TCl/TK widget seem to be much slower in refreshing and even freezing all windows running over x2go. One the specific application is mentor graphic questasim. We also have internal application written in perl/tk that seem to slower compare to others. I have many different setting but nothing help. If i run in desktop mode the application work fine. Any help would be appreciated. Regards CL

Workaround for X2go's unclickable regions under Gnome 3
by Jason Heeris 25 Jun '17

25 Jun '17

I'm running X2go 4.1.0.0-0~1536~ubuntu17.04.1 under Ubuntu 17.04, using Gnome 3.24 as my desktop environment on the client. Unfortunately this means I keep running into bug #1072/#982, where the top of X2go's session screen is unclickable. Thus I can't close windows, open some menus, etc. See: https://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=982 https://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1072 I'm looking for a way to work around this without completely throwing out my workflow in general. Because my laptop screen is small, running anything less than full screen makes things fiddly and hard to do (plus mostly what I want to do involves graphics). I don't really want to close everything else I'm working on and log in again to XFCE to do something on the server. Is there a way to tweak X2go config or Gnome 3 to avoid this, or an extension somewhere that mitigates it? Even something I could run or change just before launching X2go that I could revert afterwards? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Cheers, Jason

Logging into x2go session on server
by Ali Morshedi 20 Jun '17

20 Jun '17

Dear all, I use x2go to connect to my office computer (ubuntu 16.04 using XFCE desktop environment). Let's say I'm logged into the server with x2go. Now if I go to my server computer and log in, it logs into a new and different desktop. My question is: is there a way to log into the same desktop that x2go is using when I go back to the office (on my server computer)? Note: I tries using "Connect to local desktop". It does what I want but the image quality is significantly reduced and things become slow and laggy. Thank you in advance, Ali ᐧ

Re: [X2Go-User] Worse image quality after upgrading Firefox to 52 ESR
by Stefan Seidel 15 Jun '17

15 Jun '17

Hi, Firefox 47 disabled XRender by default. It means that remote protocols will see the whole Firefox content as image and deal with it accordingly. For now you can set xrender to true (in about:config search for xrender). It will probably stop working at some point. Stefan

Worse image quality after upgrading Firefox to 52 ESR
by south0＠tuta.io 15 Jun '17

15 Jun '17

Hi, after upgrading Firefox form v45 ESR to v52 ESR, the image quality in the X2Go client dropped considerably. Using the same setup in both cases, I now see "blocks" of JPEG artifacts scattered around the window. My setup: - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS i686 - X2Go server from stable PPA - X2Go Qt client in Windows (tested in 7 and 10) - nx set to link=lan, pack=adaptive-9, the rest as default - Firefox from Mozilla's builds (https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases) I'm untaring Firefox to a dedicated dir and pointing X2Go to execute it. The tests were made with fresh Firefox profiles in both cases, with HW acceleration disabled and rendering by cairo. A major difference is that Firefox 45 uses GTK2 while Firefox 52 uses GTK3. The areas with artifacts seem to be placed randomly. Icons next to each other in the chrome may or may not be affected. Multiline paragraphs are sometimes divided across the upper/lower middle of the characters. If I highlight text around quickly, or zoom in/out, I can make the artifact blocks "jump" to other areas in the viewport. After tweaking the font configs, I managed to get rid of the artifacts consistently in text-only documents by using an aliased font against a solid background. Artifacts in the chrome remain nevertheless. If I set the nx pack to rle for instance, the artifacts disappear. I'd still like to know if - this is a bug or expected behaviour - I can still use adaptive-9 while getting a constant/reproducible image quality Let me know if you need more info or sceenshots. Thanks in advance.

X2Go vs. XRDP
by Stefan Seidel 13 Jun '17

13 Jun '17

Hi, I have been trying to get X2Go to a usable state for a long time. Some may remember that I posted about slow performance even with Gigabit networking, mostly web browser usage was problematic. After having spent very much time trying to optimise X2Go to make it perform acceptably, I gave up. I then found and tried XRDP, and all my problems are solved. Although XRDP (with xorgxrdp drivers) uses more bandwith than X2Go, it is much more usable in almost all situations. Even ADSL links work ok, but with Gigabit connectivity it really flies (including video). I don't like to advertise for other "products", but this has made such a difference that I could not withhold this information from those who are not satisfied with X2Go. Maybe as a means of making X2Go better, I would encourage X2Go developers to install XRDP on a test server and test and compare its performance to X2Go. I would be surprised if X2Go would perform better - in fact I was surprised how much better XRDP was. Maybe there are things that can be done in X2Go to make it better by looking at how XRDP does things. I really wanted X2Go to work, but somehow it didn't work for me. I wish you all the best for improving the project in the future! Stefan
