Hello list, a question from the forum where I need assistance as I do not yet have a reference environment: http://x2go-community.org/node/27 - small network, already using ldap - local access and ssh access works - but via x2go: "The remote proxy closed the connection while negotiating the session. This may be due to the wrong authentication credentials passed to the server." Thanks, tobias

Ubuntu 12.04 connecting to Ubuntu 12.04 only got black screen
by Junzhou Zhao 30 Mar '13

30 Mar '13

Hello all, I have a ubuntu 12.04 laptop client with x2goclient 3.99.0.5. installed. I use this client to connect to another ubuntu 12.04 server with x2goserver 4.0.0.1 installed. I got a black screen, and later it is disconnected. This happens when I upgraded the ubuntu server. It worked well before I did this upgrade. I found this thread https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/x2go-user/2011-May/000152.html When I followed method in https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/x2go-user/2011-May/000157.html It becomes even worse. Now I got an error: Connection failed DBI connect('dbname=/var/lib/x2go/x2go_sessions','',...) failed: unable to open database file at /usr/lib/x2go/x2gosqlitewrapper.plline 66 [limit users] at /usr/lib/x2go/ x2gosqlitewrapper.pl line 66.

user profile not loaded on login to remote ubuntu machine, x2go server with gnome-fallback-session
by Sean van Buggenum 26 Mar '13

user profile not loaded on login to remote ubuntu machine, x2go server with gnome-fallback-session Hi all, Last night I setup the x2go qt-client and server on my home and work ubuntu 12.04/Unity machines. Connection speed is great, and I am able to login mostly without trouble, except, my login user profile (found at .profile) is not loaded, meaning of course that none of the items i need to be on my PATH can be found. As a work-around, I simply load it manually (source ~/.profile) and restart any applications using the current profile (nautilus, terminals etc). However, i'd prefer not to have to implement this work-around, if there is a way to properly fix it, or have some automated process load it for me. FYI, i've installed x2goserver and x2goserver-xsession on the server, and the QT4 x2goclient on the client. Does anyone have any idea? Kind Regards, Sean

25 user logon problem
by Thomas Hanschke 23 Mar '13

23 Mar '13

Hello everyone; I have set up a x2go terminal-server on ubuntu 12.04 in our school. There are 25 thinclients (wyse with windows7 embedded) in a classroom. The thinclients start with an openbox-session. So far it works fine, but there is a little problem: If more than 2 or 3 clients log on at exactly the same time, some of them stop at the black screen before the gray X2Go Logo appears. There is no error message. With a little timeshift of 2 or 3 seconds between the logons, there are no problems. Can anyone get a little help to solve this? Regards, Th.Hanschke

x2go desktop sharing under Ubuntu
by Dan MacDonald 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

Hi x2go users and devs! I installed x2go server under Ubuntu 12.04 from the x2go ppa. The server is running KDE and I'm hoping to share just one users KDE desktop with various clients (at least 1) although I have only tried logging in from Windows 7 so far and I always get a new desktop instead of being presented to option of or automatically getting logged onto the already running desktop. I asked about this in IRC and I was told that x2godesktopsharing need not be installed on the server to achieve what I want as I thought that would be the way to do this initially. Instead I was told I needed to suspend my session but I'm not sure how that process is supposed to work. I installed the KDE x2go plasmoid but that only seems to be able to suspend desktops that have logged in remotely- the suspend option is greyed out for user logged in locally. The user I'm trying to desktop share with is added to both of the x2go groups. Is this known to work as I want currently? If so, are there any relevant guides or docs?

Wiki review: RPM based installation of X2Go

PyHoca-GUI 0.4.0.1 created bad config file
by Dirk Eddelbuettel 14 Mar '13

14 Mar '13

Hi all, x2go is quite nice to connect from Windoze to a few Ubuntu machines at work, and I am very glad that you guys carry on from the various Nx projects In order to permit multiple machine entries, I fiddled with PyHoca (0.4.0.1), but seem to have corrupted the file by adding multiple entries with the same key. Now I am getting: Traceback (most recent call last): File "pyhoca\wxgui\frontend.pyo", line 1064, in OnProfileEdit File "pyhoca\wxgui\profilemanager.pyo", line 137, in __init__ File "x2go\backends\profiles\_file.pyo", line 329, in to_profile_id x2go.x2go_exceptions.X2GoProfileException: The sessions config file contains multiple session profiles with name: foo123 Traceback (most recent call last): File "pyhoca\wxgui\frontend.pyo", line 1147, in OnProfileExport Where (on a win7 machine) is that file, and how can I clean it manually?

Unity and LXDE with x2go - a quick test
by Christoph Mathys 14 Mar '13

14 Mar '13

I ran some tests from Windows and Ubuntu trying to start Unity and LXDE sessions on Ubuntu 12.04. The findings: - LXDE and x2go work OK. - Unity is IMO close to unusable with x2go. Setup: Ubuntu 12.04 with x2goclient 4.0.0.4, x2goserver 4.0.0.0-0~640~precise1 Windows 7 with x2goclient 4.0.0.3. Unity Open (Linux/Windows): The window is resized to fullscreen during session startup, completely ignoring whatever resolution I might have chosen in the settings. Resize(Linux/Windows): Resizing the Unity window does not work, e.g. the window size changes but the content "does not get it". LXDE Open (Linux): Works correctly. Open (Windows): The client window is too small for the content. Presumably [0]. Resize (Linux/Windows): When resizing the client window, the taskbar is "forgotten". It just stays where it is while the rest is resized. I can trigger the taskbars resize reliably when I open a new window or move the mouse over buttons on the taskbar that change their appearance on mouseover.

Disable x2goclient audio support? (bluetooth headset trouble)
by Christoph Mathys 14 Mar '13

14 Mar '13

I use a bluetooth headset for music and voip. When I start x2goclient on Windows 7, it forces the headset into a low-quality profile (no session is open, just the client). This is expected to happen if an application wants to use the microphone. I presume x2go opens audio sources and sinks in order to forward them to a client later and so Windows thinks it needs to switch to another profile. When I close x2goclient again, the headset switches back to the high quality profile. I can disable the headsets microphone manually inside the windows audio settings. But then, of course, I can no longer use the microphone for voip. It would be nice to have some kind of switch to disable x2gos audio support completely (or to be able to select which devices are forwarded). As a workaround, it seems to work if I just rename pulseaudio.exe to something else. Thanks! Christoph

Impossible to connect since update

Hello, I was happily using x2go between my Debian server and my Debian desktop since a few months when things stopped suddenly working after an update of both Debian yesterday (I haven't updated them since beginning of october). Debian server is with Debian stable (x2goserver) and Debian desktop is on Debian testing (x2goclient). Here are the version installed: x2goclient: 3.99.3.0-0~x2go1+squeeze~main~321~build1 x2goserver: 3.1.1.6-0~x2go1+squeeze~main~610~build1 Here are the logs I am getting on Debian server: sshd[11491]: error: connect_to localhost port 30001: failed. sshd[11491]: error: connect_to localhost port 30001: failed. sshd[11491]: error: channel 0: protocol error: close rcvd twice sshd[12040]: Accepted publickey for user from 92.226.X.X port 55500 ssh2 sshd[12040]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user user by (uid=0) sshd[12079]: error: bind: Address already in use sshd[12079]: error: channel_setup_fwd_listener: cannot listen to port: 30002 sshd[12079]: Received disconnect from 92.226.X.X: 11: Bye Bye sshd[12040]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed for user user sshd[11491]: channel_by_id: 0: bad id: channel free sshd[11491]: Disconnecting: Received ieof for nonexistent channel 0. sshd[11483]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session closed for user user And here are the logs I am getting on Debian desktop: Loop: PANIC!

I have checked that nothing is running on Debian server on port 30001 and I have restarted the SSH server, the x2go server and deleted .x2go directory on both Debian but errors are still the same. Can someone help me debug this ? Thanks

KMail composer window doesn't appear with NX
by Tristan Miller 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

Dear all, This message concerns a longtanding bug bothering KDE users. Most likely the bug is with KDE and not NX, but perhaps someone here can help us find out exactly what's causing the problem. First, a description of how things normally work with KDE's e-mail client, KMail: If one invokes the "New Message", "Forward", or "Reply" command on a message, a composer window opens. You can then type your message and send it, at which point the composer window closes. If you close KMail while one or more composer windows are still open, then the next time you launch KMail, those composer windows are restored so you can resume writing the messages where you left off. The problem is that if you launch KMail from an NX session, the composer window usually doesn't appear when you invoke the "Forward" or "Reply" commands. I think the composer windows must be created, but for some reason they are not immediately visible, because if you quit and relaunch KMail (still over NX), the composer windows you created last time suddenly appear. The problem happens usually but not always. (That is, sometimes when you launch KMail, the Forward and Reply commands will work for a time, but then they'll stop working, and will never work again for that session.) The problem also never happens with the "New message" command, even though to all outward appearances the same sort of composer window is being launched. So far I've reproduced the problem with both NoMachine NX and x2go. Anyone have any idea where the problem might lie? Is there some sort of fine-grained debug logging I can enable in x2go which prints a message every time it tries to display a new window?

encrypting home & printing problem
by senrabdet＠aol.com 06 Mar '13

06 Mar '13

Hi All: We're experimenting with using X2go and encrypting /home with Encfs and so far everything works well except printing. We think this is because x2go printing relies on creating a link from the spool inside of the .x2go sub folder "C-User-50-xxxxxxxx.stDGNOME_dp32 to the /tmp area, and the Encfs encryption moves things and breaks the link. Our testing indicates that if we don't encrypt a user's /home we can print, but can't print if we encrypt another user's /home all on the same server. FYI: We're not using a central x2go printing server solution (we had concerns about security, so are taking the performance hit instead). We're using ssh to connect, and have gotten this to work by moving the ssh key outside of the encrypted area and creating a symlink to .ssh inside the area. Q: Would some sort of symlink work for printing? The issue here is that (and we may be wrong) the name of the "C-User50...." folder seems to change periodically. Would we need some sort of login script to figures out what the newest "C-user" folder is and creates a symlink on the fly to the spool device? As usual, any help appreciated!

Xauthority relocation
by Diego Lendoiro 06 Mar '13

06 Mar '13

Hello everyone; I'm trying to force x2go to use a Xauthority file different from the one located in $HOME I have googled a lot and I have found a patch has been included since 3.1.0 for doing this kind of setup. (I'm currently using x2goserver 4.0) I'm setting Xauthority file location through /etc/ssh/sshrc and every user exports $XAUTHORITY in their ~/.bashrc file. The problem is when I start the session with x2goclient it automatically exits without even entering xfce desktop. All the log I get is this from x2goclient : http://pastebin.com/CGTXZRC8 Any idea will be appreciated. Regards. -- Diego Lendoiro Inestable GNU/Linux Users Group Member | http://www.inestable.org In the beginning was the command line

Graesing" <heinz-m.graesing(a)obviously-nice.de> Antwort an: x2go-dev(a)lists.berlios.de Betreff: [X2Go-Dev] x2go wiki is moving... An: x2go-dev(a)lists.berlios.de Hello *@list, The wiki platform we are using will be moved to our dev server in the next days. This means, that for a time of a few days to weeks, the dns entries will be changed and regarding to the place where you accessing it, there will be different sites... To avoid loosing work, I'll deny changes to the old wiki. As soon as you can access the new location, you'll be able to work on the wiki again. In the last weeks I've done a rework of our wiki (technical and optical). As there were used now unsupported extensions and a not easy to update template, I changed to a near generic template and banned all unsupported extensions. The wiki technical base is a new installation, but I've imported all existing pages. Maybe there is some more work needed due to the lack of extensions and the new template. Besides those tasks, there is still a lot of work to do to, to get a better "first impression" on the x2go project. As there were a lot of fake users, we'll disable the "registration" feature of the wiki. People who would like to help are invidted to write a short email on our dev/user lists, so we can avoid "capture pictures" and other annoying things. If you can't loging anymore it is likely that you never changed or added content to the wiki. I've removed those and accounts that created "advertising" pages. As the work is not completed yet, I hope it will still seen as progress.

Hi all, as in past years, the X2Go Team plans to present X2Go with a booth at LinuxTag (LinuxDay) in Berlin (May 22nd -- 25th 2013). Alex and Heinz plan to go to Berlin and they are looking for two more official persons supporting them at the X2Go booth (the rule at Berlin's LinuxTag is: you come with four people!!!).

Fwd: x2go Webbrowser Plugin
by brian mullan 16 Feb '13

I have a suggestion regarding "usability".. I had a new server to setup so I added x2go ppa and installed the firefox plugin. Starting Firefox then going to Tools/Extensions/Plugins I see the newest plugin version is there (see below 1st image).... but *clicking on "MORE"*on that screen presents the next/2nd Image. All that screen tells the user is the x2go version number again...? *My suggestion: looking at that 2nd image .. * *how hard would it be to include the x2go wiki's URL for configuring the x2goplugin & associated website ??* Seems this would enable people that install the x2go plugin to self-directed toward the rest of the "HOW TO" information to enable it (re the website setup) [image: Inline image 1] [image: Inline image 1] 1.

Re: [X2Go-User] X2Go-User Digest, Vol 30, Issue 6
by brian mullan 14 Feb '13

14 Feb '13

I've got a idea/proposal. Since the x2go Plugin .DEB is for Ubuntu only currently. I have a solution for nearly every Linux distro that has LXC and I think the Mac also but this won't work on Windows. Linux Containers (LXC) has been part of the linux kernel for quite a while now. Using LXC on Ubuntu I can install LXC containers running other Linux distro's very easily: sudo lxc-create -t centos -n my_centos for instance would create a Centos container with a name "my_centos" My idea/proposal is not for Ubuntu since the x2go plugin already exists for it. My idea is for all other Distro's that support LXC (I believe most do).. an Ubuntu LXC container could be created by this command: as root: $ lxc-create -t ubuntu -n my_x2go then start the container: $ lxc-start -n my_x2go then loging to lxc (not sure what the default login on another distro is but on ubuntu its "ubuntu" and "ubuntu". At that point you would be at the LXC container's ubuntu command line prompt and could proceed with installing firefox, the x2go firefox .deb plugin etc etc. After that everyone would have an x2go plugin enabled web browser available within a container on their system. Because LXC doesn't use HW virtualization but "process" isolation and LXC shares the "host" OS kernel... LXC is very fast and doesn't use up any of your PC's CPU core's like a virtualbox or kvm VM would just to run this. Anyway, I am pretty certain this would work quite well for people using other than Ubuntu assuming the plugin on Ubuntu works as it used to. I'd be glad to help someone interested in trying this on some other distro if they'd like to contact me directly. If it does work as expected then a plugin solution process could be to produce an LXC container for each distro that supports LXC then just copy that file up to the x2go wiki for later download and use by others as it would be pre-configured in a sense for use except they'd still have to start the container on thier system, login and change any of the plugin config files (index.html etc) to match their needs. Anyway, just wanted to throw this idea out there.

PyHoca can't start PulseAudio system.

[English] Hello all, I am using the newest PyHoca Release on Windows and when I start PyHoca I get the message in the tray that the PulseAudio system could not be started. I also tried the PyHoca in debug mode normal and debug also with administrator priviliges and I always get the same messages. Is it possible to fix this so that I get sound support with PyHoca? Best Regards [German] Hallo alle, da mein Englisch nicht das beste ist schreib ich das alles auch nochmal in Deutsch nieder vielleicht versteht es ja jemand. Ich benutze die neuste PyHoca Version auf Windows 7 und wenn ich PyHoca starte bekomme ich im Tray die Meldung das PyHoca das PulseAudio System nicht starten konnte. Ich habe auch versucht im Debug Modus zu starten um vllt. weitere Informationen zu bekommen aber konnte so nichts entdecken. Habe den normalen und den debug Modus auch mit Adminrechten probiert um auszuschließen das es daran liegt, aber auch da bekomme ich die selbe Meldung. Gibt es eine Möglichkeit das Problem zu beheben so das auch in PyHoca der Audiosupport geht? Mit freundlichem Gruß

x2go win32 client v4.x
by scain＠exgenesis.com 24 Jan '13

Is there a v4 client available for win32 yet? The only links I can find on the main wiki site lead to http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/x2goclient/ which hasn't seen an updated build since Dec 18th. Regards, Shelby Cain

export= mount location
by Morten Nielsen 23 Jan '13

Hia I added export="/media:1" to my session so my usb disk gets shared to the server. Is it possible to have it mounted somewhere other than /tmp/.x2go-user/... ? Did i miss a config option or environment variable? -Morten -- IT Tekniker Det Danske Sprog- og Litteraturselskab.

Keyboard toggle
by Colin Kincaid Williams 22 Jan '13

22 Jan '13

I am wondering if there is a way to toggle between client and desktop keybindings using x2go. Is there a way to press a key to focus the keyboard between the client and the regular desktop environment? The reason I would like this feature is I use a keyboard heavy wm and I don't really want to change my keybindings just for remote sessions. It would be nice if I could use a key press or combination of presses to tell the computer to toggle between them. Does this make sense? Is this already a feature of x2go?

follow up: connection failed xhost: unable to open display (again)
by nigra truo 18 Jan '13

18 Jan '13

Hi, following up on the subject, I found out some more things: quote: I also noticed that it works for user Z, I can open a session. But currently never for user Y. It really does not work for this user and I don't understand why. I have enough space on the filesystem, I erased the .x2go directories in user Ys home folder. I can login over ssh with Y, so that is not a problem. This problem by the way started happening after a I had a power failure on my server, so I wonder if something got corrupted. I reinstalled (purged) x2goserver, so the x2go install should be fine. I now receive the xhost unable to open display on any system I try it with, with different OSes. When connecting from Windows 7 to user Z, I can establish a X2go session and when I use the Client app via gui, it fails to connect to user Y, BUT if I run it in the CLI, it works: *mm@myserver:~$ x2goclient-cli --user Y --server localhost Password: xhost: unable to open display "" xhost: unable to open display "" ln: creating symbolic link `/tmp/.x2go-Y/session-C-Y-52-1358533596.log': File exists xhost: unable to open display ""* So these xhost error messages are coming from the x2goserver and only for that one user (which is the strangest thing) So far I have not been able to enable debugging logging in x2goserver, editing the config file and restarting the server. The x2goserver does totally minimal logging and does not show what is wrong and why I cannot establish the connection. I have had lots and lots of trouble with xhost errors in the past, on any Linux box and the documentation that exists on it is totally shady and unconclusive. X seems to have a very weird idea of what security means and how it is instituted. (at where root is not allowed to access a users desktop without prior having given permission to it) There must be something special about user Y, something that x2go saved in the home dir. What directories would I have to clean up to erase all cache / config files that x2go might store there when an external client connects to it? Any pointers would be welcome. Thanks, Markus

x2go client on Mountain Lion
by Rodney Sparapani 17 Jan '13

17 Jan '13

Hi! I am using x2go and it is really wonderful! Keep up the good work. However, there are a couple of issues that I see which are very reproducible and I am hoping that someone has dealt them before. x2goclient 3.99.2.1 When you first make a connection, 2 error messages popup... The connection with the remote server was shut down. Please check the state of your network connection. and The remote proxy closed the connection while negotiating the session. This may be due to the wrong authentication credentials passed to the server. Clicking OK on both will allow you to proceed with login. After entering your username/password another error message pops up... Connection failed channel_open_session failed - Received SSH_MSG_DISCONNECT: 33554432:Received ieof for nonexistent channel 0. Clicking OK shows two sessions running, but no active window. So, I terminate those and start a new session. Then another error message pops up... sshd not started, you'll need sshd for printing and file sharing you can install sshd with <b>sudo apt-get install openssh- server</b> Clicking OK leads to another popup message... Connection failed Can not open file - Clicking OK brings up the session. This works very well and it is pretty much the same every time except for the occasional hang or crash. But, I am wondering... Is there a way to disregard the errors mechanically? By that, I mean it can be cumbersome to click OK so many times. Lots of times the windows are hidden and do not have the focus so you have to find them. Some times they are hiding right behind the main x2goclient window and I sit and wait for them to popup like an idiot. Or, can we just not have the error messages popup? I don't really understand what they are saying anyways. Besides, I am just clicking OK since there is no other choice. Any ideas?

Installing extra fonts
by "Stéphane Mutz (BLINKSIGHT)" 17 Jan '13

17 Jan '13

Hello, I'm facing a problem with a CAD application we are using. The application fonts are unreadable (too small and text is overwiriting itself). This application seems to use the primitive X mechanism for fonts. When used with an X2go client on Linux, everything is fine. xlsfonts also reports a large choice of fonts. But when used with an X2go windows client, the problem appears and xlsfonts reports only a handful of fonts available. After reading some NX articles, my understanding is that only the fonts available both on the client (Windows) and server side are reported. Is there a way to install extra fonts for the local (client) X server on windows? Regards, Stéphane.

connection failed xhost: unable to open display (again)
by nigra truo 17 Jan '13

17 Jan '13

Hi, I have had a few mails months back for this issue. It was from a Windows 7 machine to a Debian Squeeze X2goserver. After a long time of no problems, the problem is back. I could narrow it down a little though: The problem seems to be on the x2goserver, as I get the same error message even when connecting from a Linux system, EVEN if I connect on the x2goserver as another user. I also noticed that it works for user Z, I can open a session. But currently never for user Y. What can be wrong with user Y that it does not work for that one? Also, is there more logging in x2go? I find absolutely nothing on the server (does the x2goserver do any logging at all?) and the client just says connecting, waits for some time and then fails with this error message. I totally depend on this system to work, as I log into it on a daily basis to work and currently am stuck (x2go usually works very solid, that is why I come to depend on it so much). I would be grateful for any pointers to get this working again. Markus

Hi, Please include the list when replying, you probably need to use the "reply to all" (our similar) in your email client.

I Couldn't get X2Go client to start it's X server after that. I had to un-install the client and re-install and then recreate the profile. Is it possible that I need to totally log out of my x2go session on the server for a new DPI to work? I think that you need log out of the session yes. I haven't tried to reconnect to an existing session when changing the dpi. Why you needed to reinstall the client puzzles me, must have been a separate issue. > > That would be a nice way to increase the overall text size of the display. > > I'm running the 3.99 3.1 Windows client on Windows XP against an Ubuntu 12.10 server initiating a custom desktop with the "startlubuntu" command. > > I love X2Go !!!

Was that considered a bug?
by Rui Cruz 17 Jan '13

17 Jan '13

Hi there, Around 2 weeks ago we came across the release of 4.x and me and other user (sorry, can't remember his name) talk about problems on the Ubuntu desktop resolution matches the same one as the client. Was that considered a bug and is there an ETA for a fix? Thanks, -- Rui Cruz | Webmaster | 968271502 www.ruicruz.pt
