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.

No button icons on Ubuntu 14.04
by Ulink 10 Jul '14

10 Jul '14

Hi, updated a x2go server from xubuntu 13.10 to xubuntu 14.04 (64 bit) lately. Now if I start a application (e.g. gedit) via x2go "application" session there are no button icons shown. If I start a desktop session and the same application within this desktop session the button icons ARE shown. Any hints? -- Bernhard

Suspending terminates applications
by Wolfe, Kevin [USA] 08 Jul '14

08 Jul '14

Hi, I have set up x2goserver on an ArchLinux machine and am connecting in through a Windows client. The server is a headless, no-desktop setup and am connecting in for shell purposes only. I run 'xterm' as a custom program upon connection, which starts fine. However, when I attempt to suspend the connection (using the GUI pause button, or closing the client program, no difference), the session terminates - killing all applications run through the xterm window. Further (and I may not know exactly if I'm checking this right), I do not believe that the session is registering in the database (as viewed through sqliteman). Any assistance in debugging would be most appreciated. - Kevin

screenshots while suspended?
by Matt Cowan 02 Jul '14

02 Jul '14

I'm trying to create a local service which captures status screenshots of a set of monitoring system windows about once a minute. x2go seemed like it was working great to decouple the service from a physical desktop, until I suspended the connection, at which point the screenshots get wonky (mostly just grey with a little strip of actual window contents along one border, or just all grey, or ...). It works fine when x2go is iconified, just not when it's disconnected. Is this a known problem/feature? I imagined Xclients wouldn't be impacted by a session being suspended or connected? thanks. -matt

Any help is most appreciated... thanks... Jon

problem getting x2go to work.
by Jon Gilbert 01 Jul '14

01 Jul '14

I have a server set up which is Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-64-virtual x86_64). I installed ubuntu-desktop as instructed by the x2go wiki. I also did these steps: sudo apt-get install x2goserver sudo apt-get install x2goserver-xsession sudo apt-get install sqlite3 sudo x2godbadmin --createdb I try to connect from the Mac client (tried all the versions) and it always fails. It just hangs at the screen where it's trying to connect. I set the server log level to debug and it just says: Jun 24 00:52:50 <my_ip> /usr/bin/x2golistsessions[32234]: x2golistsessions has been called with no option Jun 24 00:52:50 <my_ip> /usr/bin/x2gostartagent: x2gostartagent called with options: 800x600 isdn 256k-jpeg unix-kde-depth_32 us query 0 D gnome-flashback.sh Jun 24 00:52:50 <my_ip> /usr/bin/x2gostartagent: client announced itself as ,,173.12.186.158'' Jun 24 00:52:50 <my_ip> /usr/bin/x2gosessionlimit[32271]: x2gosessionlimit has been called Jun 24 00:52:50 <my_ip> /usr/bin/x2golistsessions[32274]: x2golistsessions has been called with options: --all-servers Jun 24 00:52:51 <my_ip> /usr/lib/x2go/x2gogetdisplays[32289]: db_getdisplays called, server: <my_ip>; return value: Jun 24 00:52:51 <my_ip> /usr/lib/x2go/x2gogetports[32298]: db_getports called, server: <my_ip>; return value: Jun 24 00:52:52 <my_ip> /usr/lib/x2go/x2gogetdisplays[32342]: db_getdisplays called, server: <my_ip>; return value: Jun 24 00:52:52 <my_ip> /usr/lib/x2go/x2gogetports[32351]: db_getports called, server: <my_ip>; return value: It repeats this over and over as the processor runs at 100% on the server, being hosed by the several x2go processes that seem to be stuck in an infinite loop. You'll notice that it runs gnome-flashback.sh in my command, that's because it doesn't work to connect the normal way either, so I tried the steps outlined in this e-mail from this list: http://lists.x2go.org/pipermail/x2go-user/2014-May/002260.html (I find it annoying that it doesn't work with Gnome 3 according to that e-mail, yet it doesn't mention this incompatibility in a conspicuous way anywhere on the x2go site.) Anyway I followed all the steps 1. through 6. in the above-linked e-mail, to no avail, because it did nothing at all towards making this work. BTW my server is on EC2. Don't know if that matters. And yes, I have Please let me know what is going wrong here and what I can do to fix this. Thanks. BTW I do have the latest version of XQuartz installed as my client, and I did set it up to accept remote connections and all that. The connection gets made no problem; the problem definitely seems to be on the server. Jon

X2Go crashes X
by James M. Pulver 30 Jun '14

30 Jun '14

When accessing a remote server from the Linux client, we are seeing for one user X errors - X2go doesn't crash...: The issue is that, after xterm window is launched, any attempt to use the keyboard in that xterm causes the xserver to die and the x2go session to terminate. This happens with emacs as well. Both tested while using the icewm-session desktop. The x2go program doesn't crash. The errors in .xsession-errors file are: Window manager warning: Invalid WM_TRANSIENT_FOR window 0x7800011 specified for 0x780000f (X2Go - 61). Window manager warning: Invalid WM_TRANSIENT_FOR window 0x7800011 specified for 0x780000f (X2Go - 71). Window manager warning: Invalid WM_TRANSIENT_FOR window 0x740001f specified for 0x7400626 (Error). Window manager warning: Invalid WM_TRANSIENT_FOR window 0x7800011 specified for 0x780000f (X2Go - 76). Window manager warning: Invalid WM_TRANSIENT_FOR window 0x7800011 specified for 0x780000f (X2Go - 79). And there are core files being generated... if they would help I could post this? Any ideas? -- James Pulver CLASSE Computer Group Cornell University

x2go client side printing
by Steve Bergman 29 Jun '14

29 Jun '14

Hi, I'm running the latest x2go server on Debian 7 Wheezy. I've got the x2go-printing package installed, as well as the cups-x2go package. Browsing is enabled in cupsd.conf. 'Client side printing support' is enabled in the client. And I've restarted the cups server, and logged out and back in after installing the print packages. But my printer is not appearing in MATE's list of printers. Is there something more I need to do? This is operating over a vpn, so there is no firewall involved. And sound works fine. Thanks for any assistance. Steve Bergman Oklahoma City, OK. USA

pulseaudio
by Frédéric Henry-Couannier 29 Jun '14

29 Jun '14

Dear I'm trying for the first time x2go between an RPI (thinclient) and a Mageia PC (server) and for the time being i get a horrible sound (almost impossible to understand a speach) when i read a youtube video. I have KDE on my Mageia PC and i'v readen in various web pages that there is a problem running pulseaudio on KDE, however i see many packages available for pulseaudio, many of them already installed so may be KDE-pulseaudio compatibility is an old problem which is now solved (?) So i have no idea eventually what config should i use (pulseaudio?, arts?, eds?) and what packages should be installed on the source and sink sides (pulseaudio is there and all right on both sides as far as i could check) I also guess that a firewall configuration is needed not to block the pulseaudio default port...(?) Thank you in advance for any helpful suggestion or reference to read. regards, Fred

The information on the X2Go web site and in the flyer I got at the CLT 2014 (which actually motivated me to try x2go) is in respect to the generation of the keys (at least for me as a first time user of x2go) not sufficient. To solve the problem I threw out all generated keys (user on server, user on remote client) and followed the description in Michael W. Lucas: SSH Mistery (ISBN 9781470069711) Now I have the various types of keys on both machines. And with the correct settings in the session profile everything works, even automatically. Thanks for your hints. KDJ.

Important information: Wrong version of X2Go Server in Baikal LTS Debian archive
by Mike Gabriel 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

Dear all, == Summary == we got informed by John McMonagle [1] about wrong package versions in the Debian archive of X2Go. Unfortunately, I only grasped the severity of that bug report a couple of days back. In February 2014, a development snapshot of x2goserver* packages found their way into the Debian-based package archive of X2Go Baikal LTS [2]. This is of course a severe issue and after cross-checking last Monday, I reverted those uploads and provided the correct package versions (X2Go Server 4.0.0.11). No other area of the package archive was affected, only the Baikal LTS packages of X2Go Server for Debian. == How to downgrade == Follow these steps for downgrading the development snapshot (4.1.0.0-preview) to the current Baikal LTS release of X2Go Server (4.0.0.11). Open a terminal and run these commands... $ apt-get update $ apt-cache show x2goserver ### you should see two version of package x2goserver ### x2goserver 4.1.0.0-0x2go1~<something> (which is the currently installed version) ### and ### x2goserver 4.0.0.11-0x2go1+git20140615.736+<debversion>.baikal.1 $ cp /etc/x2go/x2goserver.conf /etc/x2go/x2goserver.conf.bak $ apt-get remove --purge x2goserver-common libx2go-server-perl libx2go-log-perl $ apt-get install x2goserver x2goserver-xsession x2goserver-printing x2goserver-fmbindings $ cp /etc/x2go/x2goserver.conf.bak /etc/x2go/x2goserver.conf ### You may want to view changes between the two config files... $ diff -ur /etc/x2go/x2goserver.conf.bak /etc/x2go/x2goserver.conf # and manually edit the one now installed as x2goserver.conf I am very sorry that this happened, it should not have!!!

Connection time out, possibly because of ssh tunnel creation failure
by Jakub Urban 16 Jun '14

16 Jun '14

Hello, I cannot connect any more to an x2go server which used to work before. The only thing I can think of that's chaned is the kernel version. The server is a Scientific Linux 6.5 with kernel 3.10.36-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64. x2go is installed from EPEL (x2goserver-4.0.1.13-4.el6.x86_64). Below are logs from the server and pyhoca-gui (although the connection does not work from x2go clients on Windows/Linux either). Anybody has any idea why this does not work? There is no firewall in between the machines.

Dev packages for X2Go Server "sneaked" themselves into the Baikal LTS package archive
by Mike Gabriel 15 Jun '14

15 Jun '14

Control: close -1 Hi all, I have just stumbled over a very severe flaw in our X2Go package archive for Debian [1]. A development snapshot of X2Go Server (4.1.0.0-preview) got uploaded to the Baikal LTS area. That is a very very severe problem to people who run the long-term supported version of X2Go Server. I have just kicked of a rebuild of all X2Go Server packages of that archive and will provide an announcement and a troubleshooting / downgrading recipe tomorrow. I deeply apologize for this very severe flaw and big thanks to John McMonagle for unravelling this. Unfortunately, his message got ignored till now...

Occassionally very slow display update
by Milan Knížek 12 Jun '14

12 Jun '14

Hello, I run x2go server 4.0.1.15 on Arch Linux x86_64 xorg-server 1.15.1 x2go-agent 3.5.0.24-1 nxagent 3.5.0.24-1 and x2goclient V.4.0.2.0 (Qt - 4.8.5) on Windows 7 with internal X server. (Installed without admin privileges and running in portable mode.) Anyway, the issue described below happens for many months now, thus it is not related to those particular versions. After connection to the server, the desktop session (KDE) works just fine. However, once I start using apps (usually Firefox, Evolution, Smartgit, digiKam, Dolphin, etc.), the screen behaves like there are timeouts or short drops in connection. The screen may freeze for several seconds completely, it does not react on clicks, keyboard typing, though it still remembers the actions and "replays" them once the desktop resurrects: e.g. the clock widget on task bar quikly displays the seconds timer changes, like in an accelerated movie, then it freezes again. Other times, it just becomes horribly slow - slowly redrawing. A temporary solution is to close the app window and start it again. It usually helps better to disconnect (logout) and connect again. Suspending and resuming the session from the client does not help at all. Note that these issues are not caused by a bad connection per se: I can open another SSH connection from cygqin and transfer big files back and forth w/o problems at full speed (cca 2 Mbps up/down). SSH typing response is also quick, hence latency should not be an issue either. Logs on the server (syslog, x2go log level debug, CLI output of the applications) do not show anything interesting at all. I assume it may be due to the often discussed issues with applications being compiled against up-to-date X libs, while nxagent still uses the old X server. I have tried to use x2goclient on Ubuntu 12.04 (armhf) for some time and it seems it runs stable, w/o the issues. Is there anything I can do at all to improve the user experience? Or at least to debug the issues? regards, Milan -- http://milan-knizek.net/ About linux and photography (Czech only) O linuxu a fotografování

Solution X2GO Session Broker and X2Go Server over Docker.io
by Felix Hosner 12 Jun '14

12 Jun '14

Hi All In my lab, I would like to build a solution with X2Go Session Broker and X2Go Server with Docker. In the documentation of Session Broker is described as the X2Go server must be entered in the "session profile configuration". host=s-1.pool-e.local (10.0.2.11),s-2.pool-e.local (10.0.2.12),s-3.pool-e.local (10.0.2.13),s-4.pool-e.local (10.0.2.14),s-5.pool-e.local (10.0.2.15) But Docker works over a port mapping. An entry would therefore have to look like this: host=server1.local:xxx1 (10.0.2.11:xxx1),server1.local:xxx2 (10.0.2.11:xxx2),server1.local:xxx3 (10.0.2.11:xxx3),server1.local:xxx4 (10.0.2.11:xxx4) Is that a problem? (Yes / No) If Yes, how can the Probelme be solved and how the solution could look like?

Re: [X2Go-User] Pb with x2go agent on ppc64 system

Your ifconfig -a picture shows your eth0 interface with a 10.x.x.x address. As 10.x.x.x is non-routeable you must be running in a Virtual Machine environment like virtualbox or kvm or vmware? What is the IP address of the HOST machine that that VM is running in?

Pb with x2go agent on ppc64 system
by sebastien chabrolles 11 Jun '14

11 Jun '14

I'm working for IBM, one of our partner would like to use build an "applicance" on one of our Power8 system. They would like to give access to their application through "X2go". The operating system used is a Fedora 20 ppc64. In oder to install x2goserver, we have add the Fedora Rawhide repo (x2goagent is not available in the fc20 repo). Intallation process is fine, without any error. But it is impossible to connect to the server from a x2go client. The connection is closed with the following error: running as X2Go Agent NXAGENT - Version 3.5.0 Copyright (C) 2001, 2011 NoMachine. See http://www.nomachine.com/ for more information. Info: Agent running with pid '24808'. Session: Starting session at 'Sat Jun 7 15:37:37 2014'. Info: Proxy running in server mode with pid '24808'. Info: Waiting for connection from 'localhost' on port '30003'. Warning: Refusing connection from '225.3.10.80'. .80' on port '30003'. I don't know what is this IP address !!!!! I tested the same installation on x86 system (FC20 + rawhide repo for x2goserver). Everything works out of the box. Is anybody can help me to solve this issue on ppc64 ?

X2Go Windows Client on Windows 8
by James M. Pulver 11 Jun '14

11 Jun '14

We are having great success using the X2Go Client on Windows 7. However, some outside users are running Windows 8 or Windows Vista, and no matter what we can think to do, we cannot get the X2Go Client to run. It starts, freezes for a few seconds, says "Cannot Start X Server" and then exits. Is this a known problem with those OSs? Is there some configuration to make it work? Any ideas? -- James Pulver CLASSE Computer Group Cornell University
