Howto get full access with x2godesktopsharing
by Buddy Butterfly 27 Jul '13

27 Jul '13

Hi all, first, thanks a lot for the great product. I recently discovered and installed it and it worked! With the help of this forum I was also able to do desktopsharing. Two issues are open: 1. How to get full access with x2godesktopsharing? 2. Directory mapping is not working. I add a directory in the client config but can not see the directory in /tmp on the server. Thanks an best regards, Matt

X2Go and ssh forwarding
by Andreas Yankopolus 27 Jul '13

27 Jul '13

I'm trying to figure out how to use X2Go to connect with a machine at a private IP address via a public ssh server. I'm currently using ssh authentication forwarding to get to that machine: ssh -A -t andreas(a)public.ip.address ssh -A andreas(a)private.ip.address Thanks, Andreas

Session resume fails with AFS home directories
by Sebastian Flothow 26 Jul '13

26 Jul '13

Hi all, I've just set up a Debian 7 box with X2Go. It does work in that it is possible to start new sessions, however, resuming a previous session does not work, it always results in this message: "The remote proxy closed the connection while negotiating the session. This may be due to the wrong authentication credentials passed to the server." I suspect this is due to the fact that home directories are stored in AFS (for regular users, that is; when logging in as root, whose home directory is on a local ext4 FS, resume does work). Accessing AFS requires an AFS token in the user's name, obtaining this in turn requires a Kerberos ticket. PAM is set up to obtain both automatically on login, but I guess something goes wrong there during session resume. Is it possible to add custom commands to the X2Go login/resume procedure? It would be quite helpful if the client could run klist and tokens through the ssh session, and either log or display the output. Thanks, Sebastian

Sharing the display between two different users in x2go remove session (xhost + / DISPLAY variable)
by Nigra Truo 18 Jul '13

18 Jul '13

Hi, I am logged in as user Tom via x2go on my server. And in this session, I su to user Peter and want Peter to be able to use the same X session, i.e. display GUIs. When I try this, it fails. I use xeyes as a test. Error: Can't open display: unix:1077.0 I used already xhost (as Tom), to give everybody the right to use Tom's X display. xhost + access control disabled, clients can connect from any host when I do a echo $DISPLAY as user Tom, I get: :75 If I do the same as user Peter, I get: unix:1077.0 how can I get user Peter to be able to share the GUI / X remote session via x2go from Tom? How is x2go handling the DISPLAY variable? I think there lies the problem, not in the permissions. What circumstance makes me need to get this working: I cannot open a separate x2go session for user Peter, which would definitely be easier. I have tried this locally, on the server directly, and when I use xhost + and set the display variable of Peter to the same as Tom, he can use Tom's display and display xeyes. Any pointers would be appreciated! thanks Markus

X2go keyboard layout
by Nicolas Fabre 15 Jul '13

15 Jul '13

Hi all, I struggled a little bit with keyboard layouts in x2go. I found a way to enable numpad on a gnome 3.4.2 session (on debian Wheezy). I will try to make a traduction from my french version : go to system settings -> keyboard -> keyboard layout options -> Miscellaneous compatibility options -> numpad keys are always numerical (really not sure about this one). Ask if you need to. Cheers -- Nicolas FABRE

Failure negotiating the session in stage '7'. Wrong version or invalid session authentication cookie.
by Roland Giesler 11 Jul '13

11 Jul '13

This error is most annoying to say the least, since no-where on the internet is an explaination of the cause nor the fix for it. Some people seem to have managed to get past it by luck. This is an Ubuntu 12.04 64bit server that had nxserver install. One day (probably after some update, but it was too long ago to undo of trace now) the nxclient just stopped working. I left it after many futile attempt to fix it. I have completely removed (purged) openssh-server and nxserver, nxnode and nxclient. Numerous times, apart from creating keys manually and more. So I though, let me switch to X2Go. And lo and behold, I get the same error. Strangely enough though, I can connect perfect to the server via SSH every time. What causes this and how does one fix this please? regards Roland

Re: [X2Go-User] Sharing the display between two different users in x2go remove session
by Nigra Truo 11 Jul '13

11 Jul '13

Hi, I forgot to mention an important point on my setup: User Peter is in a chroot, while user Tom is not (on the main host, where the chroot is running). In a X2go session, I can use the same display when I do a xhost + and set the DISPLAY variable for the second user to the same as first user, but when I do that for the chroot user Peter, to be able to use Toms display, it does not work. What special steps are required to make this possible for chroot? I tried to install x2goserver in the chroot, set the port for ssh to 23, but I cannot log in that way to Peter. Thanks, Markus

Problems with meta characters on Mac client
by Anders Bruun Olsen 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

Hi, I can't seem to figure out how to make x2goclient send characters such as | (pipe) and @ to my terminalserver, when connected from a Mac client. It works fine from a Linux client. My terminalserver is running XFCE on Ubuntu with latest x2goserver and x2goclient 4.0.1.0 on OSX 10.8 with danish keyboard layout. I have tried changing layouts in the XFCE settings, but that just results in all keyboard input being scrambled around. When I set it back to "system standard" most keys work correctly, except stuff that requires meta-keys. Pipe on danish Mac is alt+i, which logically just produces the alt+i effect in XFCE. @ is alt+' (next to enter) on a danish mac keyboard. This produces nothing in XFCE. Any hints for how to at least be able to produce those characters in an x2goclient session? Even better would of course be a full keyboard-solution for Mac-users, but that might be tough, given the fundamental differences between PC and Mac keyboards :) -- Anders Bruun Olsen It-ansvarlig Det Danske Sprog- og Litteraturselskab (Society for Danish Language and Literature)

Re: [X2Go-User] Black screen for existing session
by Karel 08 Jul '13

08 Jul '13

No I must say, it's unstable under linux too, not only win7. My server side is with automatic updates switched on and I see multiple times in week a notifications about that. Sometimes it will suggest me to reboot my computer to update but I will not do it before weekend - somewhere in the saturday evening but not at every week. My linux client side is with automatic updates turned off and I will update it manually at friday afternoon (if I remember to do it and if I have a time to do it) before turning off for the weekend. So it is very hard to tell which updates and at which side was a cause of the problems. Windows client is updated very rarely. But somewhere at last two weeks I started to see problems connecting to suspended x2go sessions. After then I updated also windows client but no better stability. If I connect from linux client it will disconnect me after I try to connect to my suspended session (for a moment I can see my desktop and sometimes I can click something and run a command or two). Every time I see my suspended session (with ID number) so I will assume my login was correct. After few retries (number of times differ from day to day) I will get a connection and it is stable until evening then I disconnect it before going home. At home I will connect from windows client and also there is login correct because I see my suspended session with ID number (sometimes it is not 50 but over that but this is a same until I must make a new session). If I try to resume this session I will sometimes see my desktop for a few seconds (and sometimes I can click and run a command or two) but it will disconnect me again saying something about my incorrect credentials. After few retries I will get my session and this is stable until i disconnect it later. PyHoca-GUI is more stable and with this I can reconnect better. I have'nt used windows x2go-client for a last week or two anymore. But there are also cases there after a few unsuccessfull reconnections PyHoca-GUI will not show my suspended session anymore and I must start a new one. And there is a new session at the server - the old one is gone with all related programs closed.

multiple xorg.conf's in x2go TCE
by Stephan Wagner 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

We use the 'hostname' to distinguish the xorg.conf's for different thin clients. The attached init-script 'x2gohostname' replaces the default 'hostname' with the ethernet address of the network device eth0. Colons are replaced by dashes. Xorg will search the xorg.conf.<hostname> file in the directory /usr/etc/X11/, which correspond to /opt/x2gothinclient/chroot/usr/etc/X11/ in the PXE-boot environment. The init-script goes to /opt/x2gothinclient/chroot/etc/init.d/. Enter the chroot-environment executing 'x2gothinclient_shell'. 'update-rc.d x2gohostname defaults' will generate the symlinks for the different run-levels. Hope this helps someone, Stephan -- __________________________________________________ Dr. Stephan Wagner ITos GmbH Bitzi-Bendel 2555 9642 Ebnat-Kappel Tel: +41 (0)71 990 05 94 mailto:swagner@itos-gmbh.com http://www.itos-gmbh.com --------------------------------------------------

Capture client-side error messages?
by Barnet Wagman 22 Jun '13

22 Jun '13

I'm attempting to setup x2go with Debian (wheezy) on an ec2-instance and the OS X client (this is my first attempt to use x2go). I'm getting error messages, but the window that displays them closes after a one or two seconds, so I can't read them. Is there a way to log the error messages with the OS X client? Or to keep the window open? thanks

Arrow keys problems with openSUSE
by Carlos 19 Jun '13

19 Jun '13

Hello, I'm having the problem with arrow keys, i.e. when I press the down array key it's translated to the return key. I've tried with the command x2gosetkeyboard in the server-side but It didn't work. I'm using openSUSE 12.3 on both machines(server and client) I have configured KDE with spanish keyboard layout and pc105/es keyboard type in both machines. In x2goclient I have unchecked the option "Keep current keyboard Settings" (checked doesn't work either). The values here are: Keyboard layout:es Keyboard model: pc105/es Regards. Carlos

Black screen for existing session
by Rui Cruz 17 Jun '13

17 Jun '13

Hi there, After the recent Ubuntu update of x2go I'm having some problems with my windows client on Windows 7: Everytime I try to resume a session the screen goes completly dark, even the x2go logo dosn't appear. The only way I can regain graphics is to terminate the session and start it again. I try then to update the Client to the last on the site and the problem is still hapening. Sometimes I run the install for Windows and the problem is solved but this seems a question of "luck" since this dosn't allways solve the problem. The server is using gnome. also, I try to decrease the bandwith and image quality in the session options but didn't work and even create a new Windows profile and run a fresh x2go profile. Any ideas on how to fix this? -- Rui Cruz Journalist +351 96 827 1502

How are connection failures handled?
by Barnet Wagman 14 Jun '13

14 Jun '13

I need to know how connections failure are handled by x2go. E.g. Suppose a session is running a gui application (such as Netbeans) in gnome on the server, and the connection is lost.

How are connection failures handled?
by Barnet Wagman 14 Jun '13

14 Jun '13

I need to know how connections failure are handled by x2go. E.g. Suppose a session is running a gui application (such as Netbeans) in gnome on the server, and the connection is lost. Is the application killed? Or is it possible to reconnect to the same session? thanks PS if there's any documentation on this sort of thing, I'd like to know where to find it - I haven't been able to locate any.

Hello, When I connect to a X2go server I get a screen with the resolution of the server and not the resolution what I choose on the client. Is there something to do against this behavior? With regards, Paul van der Vlis. -- Paul van der Vlis Linux systeembeheer, Groningen http://www.vandervlis.nl

X2go-broker user/password twice
by Juan Carlos Corchado 05 Jun '13

05 Jun '13

Hi all, The x2go-broker configuration is working correctly but when I try the command x2goclient --broker-url=http://server:8080/plain/inifile/ and set the name and password appears another window to select KDE or GNOME (my configuration). When I choose one of them I have to set again the user and password. It's possible to put it just once? Thanks,

Font not found
by Markus Kuderer 29 May '13

29 May '13

Hello, I've set up the most recent x2go version on a CentOS6 system (Desktop: Gnome). It runs out of the "box" and it looks pretty good, except one thing: Some fonts are not found. At least one of our tools gives e.g. the following error message: * Unable to find font name: "-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-12-*" When using VNC this message is not displayed, so the font is be available on the system. Enabling the "debug" loglevel didn't give additional messages in the log file(s). Has anybody an idea how to make this font(s) known to X2Go? I might give you some further informations if needed/wanted... Thank you very much. Best regards, Markus

Space key behaves like ctrl-alt-f (switch fullscreen)

Hi, suddenly the space key behaves like ctrl-alt-f (switch fullscreen). I run ubuntu12.04 on the client and on the server with the repository from x2go/stable. I did a reboot of client and server and a software update, but it is still the same. Any hints? The keyboard is not the problem, I can work on the client PC like usual. Regards, Thomas

Problem with Pulseaudio
by Tobias Luther | X2Go-Community.org 28 May '13

Hallo, here is a problem with pulseaudio, maybe someone can assist me. Right now I cannot access my X2Go & check myself. - as soon as sound is activated from inside the client it does not work within the session for this user. The pulseaudioserver does no longer get a connection and the volume fader is greyed out. The sound cannot be restored by de-selecting sound for that session. Thanks a lot! http://x2go-community.org/comment/40 Tobias

X2go server behaving odd
by Roel Wagenaar 07 May '13

07 May '13

L.S. Last week I have upgraded my desktop machine from debian-squeeze to debian-wheezy, this machine functions a my remote desktop server. After the upgrade it is no longer possible to have multiple sessions from multiple hosts for the same user open, if I connect from my laptop and create a new session, the existing running session from my home desktop machine gets removed. Is this known behaviour? Can it be related to changes in config files from the debian guys, normally existing config files are left alone in an upgrade. -- Roel Wagenaar, Linux-User #469851 with the Linux Counter; http://linuxcounter.net/ Antw.: Omdat het de volgorde verstoord waarin mensen tekst lezen.

KScreen in new Kubuntu conflicts with X2go
by Pascal d'Hermilly 01 May '13

01 May '13

Hi Running x2go-server on Kubuntu 13.04 is problematic since it has the new (KDE) "intelligent" screen manager. It remembers the screen resolution and automatically sets it (It's nice for physical screens). This causes big problems when you start a session the first time(where I got an overly large resolution) and when going from a large to a small screen. It even remember the screen resolution between sessions - so no help logging in/out. The workaround for now is to remove the kscreen package - but in the longer run it needs to be fixed. I've filed a bug report in kscreen - but I don't know what will happen to it. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=319065 Pascal

Problems with Windows X2go Client

01 May '13

http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=774322 I posted here but no one answered. I joined Zing and it said no has posted there in the forum for more than 30 days. I wanted to try and figure what I was doing wrong with my Windows 7 X2go client. I installed 12.10 server base then did the console command to install Xubuntu. (So had all my server stuff and Desktop stuff) I installed the PPA for X2go. I had a prior X2go viewer installed. (On windows enterprise) I used the same ip address as the prior 12.04 with the exact setup. It says host key server changed and for security reasons it will not connect. I have uninstalled and deleted the .x2go in my "user directory" and the program files folder for X2go. I can not find were X2go viewer holds the old keys so I can delete them. Knowing this directory on my windows enterprise box would be great. I do not want to switch to NX or Tight VNC unless I really have to Kind Regards J. Pruitt

You should report this error to submit(a)bugs.x2go.org <mailto:submit@bugs.x2go.org>. Provide a good summary in the subject and include this in the body: Then it would be a duplicate - it's already filed as bug 106. I just wanted help and hear if anything was being done.

bug 106 - SSH Host Key Validation fails when ECDSA is already known
by Pascal d'Hermilly 24 Apr '13

24 Apr '13

How do I remove the host key? This bug is quite annoying. Especially because it's easy to trigger and the prompt dialog doesn't explaint how to remove the existing key. http://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=106 I already tried 'ssh-keygen -R [host]' with no effect. and according to the bug report this is not how it's done anymore...

The information got lost during the wiki migration (to much copy+paste+delete of wiki pages when restucturing the wiki tree). The false info has been removed from that page now.

Runlevel 5 needed?
by Markus Kuderer 19 Apr '13

19 Apr '13

Hello everybody, in the installation instructions there is a remark that the server has to be run runlevel 5 to allow the X2Go server to accept connections. Why is it like this? Is the local XServer needed for operation? Is there an easy way to overcome this? Background of my question: I'm interested in using X2go in our system, but we had to switch to runlevel 3. Actually we use mainly VNC sessions for remote operation and these tended to hang up with a "local" XServer running on the server. Thank you very much. Best regards, Markus

issue: GTX don't work with V.4.0.0.1
by Michael Korn 17 Apr '13

17 Apr '13

Hello, I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 and a GTX 680 (Driverversion: 304.48) The old x2go (3.) worked with different 304.xx versions. Since I updated to 4.0.0.1 OpenGL/GLX don't work in a remote session any more. e.g.: > korn@cuda1:~$ glxinfo | grep direct > Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":52.0". > Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":52.0". > Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":52.0". > Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":52.0". > Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":52.0". > Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig > Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":52.0". > Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":52.0". > Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":52.0". > Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":52.0". > Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":52.0". > Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":52.0". > Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":52.0". > Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":52.0". > Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":52.0". > Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":52.0". > Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":52.0". > Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":52.0". > Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":52.0". > Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":52.0". > Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":52.0". > Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":52.0". > Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":52.0". Locally it works! Any ideas? Thanks Michael

Anyone installed/used the new x2goplugin on Windows yet?
by brian mullan 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

I was able to get the new x2goplugin working on linux with multiple different web browsers but the last I checked the x2go wiki was looking was still looking for input on how to install the x2goplugin on both Windows and Mac. Has anyone done this successfully yet? If so could they post how they set things up? thanks Brian

Debugging tips?
by Tom Harris 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

I'm just starting to use x2go, and it has mostly worked great. But, I have run into problems where I connect to my server, get authenticated, but never get my application displayed. I can see the x2goagent process running on the server, but the app never displays. Creating a new user account and logging in with that has usually succeeded as a workaround. But, obviously that's not a solution. I'm sure there is a simple fix for this, like cleaning up some lost session data. But, my attempts thus far have failed. Are there any session debugging tips available? Or, pointers for where to look or how to enable more debugging output?

Custom login script user/pass variables and pyhoca-cli
by Jonathan Brown 12 Apr '13

12 Apr '13

Hello I have two versions of a script that log a thin client into an x2go server using a YAD graphical prompt which passes variables to pyhoca-cli. The following works fine and logs you right in after entering AD username and pass: ----------------------------- #!/bin/bash while true; do frmdata=$(yad --center --undecorated --image=/usr/share/wallpaper/sago-header-mod.jpg --image-on-top --button="gtk-ok:0" --title "Login to Sago Linux Terminal Server" --form --field="AD username" --field="Password:H") frmusername=$(echo $frmdata | awk 'BEGIN {FS="|" } { print $1 }') frmpassword=$(echo $frmdata | awk 'BEGIN {FS="|" } { print $2 }') pyhoca-cli --server 10.0.201.242 -u $frmusername --password $frmpassword -c startkde --sound none --kbd-layout us --kbd-type pc105/us -g fullscreen --add-to-known-hosts done ---------------------------------- However, this one, which adds a dropdown to choose a session, does not just log in, it asked for interactive login at the console..
