Keyboard issues
by "Stéphane Mutz (BLINKSIGHT)" 16 Jan '13

16 Jan '13

Hello, I'm facing a couple of key mapping issues with X2go. My setup is the following: Server: X2go running on Ubuntu 12.10 server Session: XFCE4 Client: either Windows 7 or Linux 1) The status of Numlock is often lost when reconnecting to a session. It is always lost when connecting initially. It requires using numlockx almost at each reconnection. Is there a way to ensure a continuous sync of numlock between client and server? As a fallback, I'd be happy if numlock is always set on. 2) When switching between a Linus and Windows client, key mapping gets corrupted (e.g. the DOWN arrow key now behaves as ENTER). Is there a way to avoid that? Regards, Stéphane.

Which desktop for Ubuntu 12.04
by Christoph Mathys 16 Jan '13

16 Jan '13

This was meant to go to the list. Shouldn't the reply-to point to the list instead of the OP? We recently switched from Unity-2d to LXDE, server is ubuntu 12.04 and client Windows 7. We only use a very limited set of x2gos features. I have only noticed that on session start up, the LXDEs task bar is not completely visible until I resize the x2go window once.

x2go client deadlocks if server reboots
by Christoph Mathys 15 Jan '13

15 Jan '13

The x2go-client seems to deadlock if I do a reboot/shutdown of the server. Some time after I initiated the reboot of the server the client asks if I want to terminate the session (because the servers does not respond), which I answer with yes. Nothing happens. When I try to close the session window, nothing happens. When I try to close the session using from the x2go client window by clicking the button to close the session, the client window itself starts to hang and I have to kill it. Christoph

Which desktop for Ubuntu 12.04
by Thomas Guettler 15 Jan '13

15 Jan '13

Hi, I use the 4.x release of x2go on both client and server. The server is ubuntu 12.04, client is SuSE. If I use unity as desktop, at the top there are about 60px missing. The ubuntu dash symbol at the top is only half visible. If I choose ubuntu-2d I get several small images, instead of fullscreen, which I selected. It looks like this: http://thomas-guettler.de/tbz/u1204-x2go.png Now I use LXDE and this works good. Except one thing: the ssh-agent does not get executed during login. I start keychain in .bashrc. Which desktop do you use with ubuntu 12.04? Thomas -- Thomas Guettler, http://www.thomas-guettler.de/ E-Mail: guettli (*) thomas-guettler + de

I'm thinking about upgrading my home computer to Windows 8 from Windows 7, but I really need to use the x2go windows client to connect to my work Ubuntu machine. Does the x2go client work on Windows 8? Thanks.

smart
by J.Witvliet＠mindef.nl 10 Jan '13

10 Jan '13

Hi all, Any chance of using (pki) smartcard in combination with x2go? On the sites I found references towards GPG-cards, but I need to use ordinary smartcards with standard key & certificates. Note that I cannot use something like USB-forwarding, as the reader + card are also needed by local applications.

Well, light+love :) No problem. On the bug subject: I've been able to create a workaround, creating two sessions one with 800x600 not in full screen and other with full screen. Hope this helps someone, it's not really a solution but it works for now.

critical issue: wrong display size
by Michael Korn 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Hello, I'm using Ubuntu 12.04. Locally I use Unity and a Gnome remote session. Since V. 4.0.0.1 I have this problem: In the properties of the remote session I have set a custom display size, but the remote session has always 1,920×1,080 (This is also the resolution of my display). My local unity environment needs some pixel for the taskbar in the top. Because of this there is not anymore enough place for the remote session, the taskbar in the bottom of Gnome is truncated. If I use the Fullscreen mode, the taskbars in the top and in the bottom are missing. I can see only the symbols (files and folders) on my desktop. I deleted the old x2go folders/profiles from my home, but it doesn't help. Thanks Michael

[X2Go-Announcement] New X2Go releases: x2goserver, x2goclient, nx-libs, x2godesktopsharing, x2golxdebindings, x2goplasmabindings, pinentry-x2go
by Mike Gabriel 09 Jan '13

Dear all, The X2Go Project is proud to announce a couple of new X2Go component releases: - X2Go Server (4.0.0.0) - X2Go Client (4.0.0.1) - NX (redistributed), Version 3.5.0.17 - X2Go Desktop Sharing (3.1.0.6) - X2Go LXDE Bindings (1.0.1.3) - Plasma Widget for X2Go (3.0.1.5) - Pinentry for X2Go (0.7.5.6) All new packages are already available in our stable repositories (Debian, Ubuntu). The Windows version of X2Go Client will be built and provided on http://code.x2go.org/releases/ within the next couple of days. With a little fortune we will also be able to provide an X2Go Client .dmg Image for Mac OS X. As you might have noticed we have bumped the version numbers of X2Go Server and X2Go Client to 4.0.0.x. These versions will be the basis for an upcoming bundle release (with long term support) of compatible X2Go components. As you can also see from the changelog entry of NX (redistributed), there has been quite some packaging work been done on that project. However, there also is a new upstream patch from Alexander Wuerstlein among the commits: it is now possible to flexibly configure nxagent's / x2goagent's key strokes. Visit http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:components:nxagent_keyboard_shortcuts for further details. Thanks to Alexander for this great contribution. I also would like to thank X2Go's great i18n team. We have translated x2goclient, plasma-widget-x2go, x2godesktopsharing and pyhoca-gui now into 7-9 languages. Great work folks!!! Languages available are: English, German, Russian, Dutch, Swedish, Bokmal (Norway), Spanish and Danish. Translators for other languages are absolutely welcome, please join up on our x2go-i18n mailing list (http://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/x2go-i18n) light+love, Mike X2Go Server =========== x2goserver (4.0.0.0-0~x2go1) RELEASE; urgency=low [ Jan Engelhardt ] * New upstream version (4.0.0.0): - Replace script x2gobasepath by script x2gopath that makes it much easier for distro packagers to tweak the installation paths of X2Go Server components.

Dear List, I would like to achieve the following with x2go: /when a user connects using either x2goclient or python x2go, a message will be displayed before he is logged in: "Welcome to terminal services, you will be connected in the next XXX seconds.". / What needs to be done to achieve this? Shall I do something at the clients level? or putting scripts into x2goserver-run-extensions? Thanks a lot for your tips. Cheers Joshua

Diskless Booting
by Thomas Guettler 03 Jan '13

03 Jan '13

Hi, I try to set up an environment where the user can choose between: - diskless booting an operating system (no x2go) - booting a small operating system and use x2go. I looked at the TCE documentation: http://www.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:components:tce Is this maintained and used in production? Unfortunately the set up explained there allows only one boot image. But I need other images. At least one with Ubuntu 12.04. For the non-x2go images I use this path: /tftpboot/os/IMAGE-NAME Is it possible to use scripts like x2gothinclientmanagement with a different path? Since the other images use ubuntu, it would be nice if the x2go image would use ubuntu, too. What do you use? A different way would be this: Don't use different boot-images, but use one boot image which gives you a login screen where you can choose between working local and working with x2go.

PyHoca Issues
by merc1984＠f-m.fm 03 Jan '13

Couple issues fellers: I have PyHoca set to Log In Automatically and Start New Session Automatically, but it is doing neither when I start it. Also when I tell PyHoca to connect to one server it always always says, "The authenticity of host [hex] can't be established. Are you sure you want to continue connecting?" When I ssh to this host it always asks the same thing. Why is the system never put it in known_hosts? My other x2go system doesn't have this problem. -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Faster than the air-speed velocity of an unladen european swallow

Problem with KDE, Network Manager and X2Go
by Daniel Lindgren 24 Dec '12

24 Dec '12

Hi all, I've installed a Debian Wheezy virtual machine (KVM) with KDE. If I log on using the console, I can use Network Manager to succesfully add a VPN connection. If I log on to the same machine via X2Go, I can't add a new VPN connection (and the one added from the console session isn't there). When I try to save it I get "No session found for uid 1000". I've spent hours googling and there seems to be a problem with dbus and/or ConsoleKit. If I use the console to logon, KDM does something that makes Network Manager/dbus/ConsoleKit happy, if I use X2Go that "something" is missing. KWallet may also be a factor, when I'm logged on to the console it pops up at the same step that I get the error message in X2Go. Is there any X2Go user out there that has a solution to this problem? Cheers, Daniel

Hello, at least on Arch linux, the default systemd unit file for cups.service includes the directive "PrivateTmp=true", which causes x2goprint to silently fail since the file manipulations normally done in /tmp/.x2go-$user/spool/ are partially carried out in /tmp/systemd-private-blabla/.x2go-$user/spool and never get to the client's SSHFS'ed dir. I am not expert in systemd and do know know if the "sandboxing" for cups is Arch specific. Anybody has a workaround so that the cups.service may remain untouched? regards, Milan -- http://milan-knizek.net/ About linux and photography (Czech only) O linuxu a fotografování

SSH Proxy for OS X interface
by senrabdet＠aol.com 21 Dec '12

21 Dec '12

Hi All: We've started to use the SSH Proxy option on the x2go Windows client - very cool!. Just downloaded latest client for OS X, but don't see the Proxy server option. - Is this for windows only at present? Is an OS X version in the works? - Is there a way to simulate the proxy server option, possibly in a script? Any examples? Thx Ted

[X2Go-Announcement] New X2Go releases: pyhoca-gui, pyhoca-cli, python-x2go
by Mike Gabriel 20 Dec '12

20 Dec '12

Dear all, The X2Go Project is proud to announce a couple of new X2Go component releases: - pyhoca-gui (0.2.0.0) - pyhoca-cli (0.2.0.1) - python-x2go (0.2.0.3) All new packages are already available in our stable repositories (Debian, Ubuntu) within the next 24h. The Windows version of PyHoca-GUI also already has been built and provided on http://code.x2go.org/releases/. I personally am very proud to be able to present a long-waited-for major release of Python X2Go and PyHoca-GUI. Thanks again to Dick Kniep (http://www.lindix.nl) for sponsoring this piece of software.

Admintools and client-session-administration
by Jochen Schulz 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

Hello! We are extensively using X2go, and are very happy, that this solution exist. A we have several computers which can hold x2go sessions, it becomes more vital to administer these sessions from a central point. Of course there are x2golistsessions, x2goterminate-session and so on but would it be nice to have a simple GUI or at least a little bit more readable terminal-output? Also: The x2goclient doesn't seem to have a gui-part to administer suspended and running sessions. This for example would made it much easier to handle your running sessions. Especially, if you are using several different servers (This is all without the thinclient-environment in mind!) best regards Jochen

Q: Command Field in GUI & Way to use SSH config file?
by senrabdet＠aol.com 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

Hi All: We had a couple of quick questions: 1) Command Field in GUI: In the x2go GUI there is a "Command:" field. What is this for? It does not seem to be accessible if Gnome or KDE are selected. 2) Config File Does x2go use the ssh config file? If not, is there a way to get it to do so? We're looking for a way to pass parameters like we might do with ssh from the command line. Thanks, Ted

Configurable keybindings for x2go(agent)
by Alexander Wuerstlein 15 Dec '12

15 Dec '12

Hello, NX annoyingly adds hardcoded keybindings which overlap with e.g. GNOME's. Where in GNOME, Ctrl-Alt-t opens a new terminal, in NX and therefore in x2go, it closes the session. Therefore I hacked together configurable keybinding support for nxagent/x2goagent as described here: http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:components:nxagent_keyboard_shortcuts Currently this is experimental, so please test and report bugs, if there are no major breakages, you can expect it for version 3.5.0.17. Ciao, Alexander Wuerstlein.

Num Lock problem with Windows client and Spanish keyboard
by Ricardo Díaz Martín 14 Dec '12

14 Dec '12

Hi, I got a issue with num lock keys when users connect to x2goserver in ubuntu 11.10 (last x2go windows client downloaded from x2go.org web). More of times the number keys in right side keyboards panel don't work. If you press 5, 0, ., enter in numeric pad work as expected but others work as num lock key was switched off. Some times every of them work as expected but some times not. I tried to set different keyboards layout in users x2goclient, set to blank and auto in keyboard model and keyboard layout fields, exec setxkbmap es after login, etc. but no success. Somebody knows anything about how to this issue? Thanks in advance. Regards, Ricardo Díaz

Repost of issue: Connection failed xhost: unable to open display on Windows 7
by nigra truo 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Hi, I wanted to repost my issue from before, as I don't know if it arrived in the mailing list or not. I'm curious where I can start to troubleshoot this. Why is the vcxsrv server not reachable? I am now stuck at this ancient release (3.01), which works more or less, but has problems (and still uses xming, which tends to crash from time to time). I would really like to use the new verison of X2go for Windows, but so far I am stuck at receiving this error: Connection failed xhost: unable to open display I know about this problem on a Linux host, but never had this error on a Windows system. Any help or pointers are appreciated. Here is my original post that probably got lost: ----- I have this problem with all newer versions of x2go on Windows 7. I have been trying to use a newer version than 3.01-4, but every time I do, I sooner or later get this error. Then I revert back to the old version and then it works flawlessly. Then, after some time, I wish to give a newer version a try and end up with the same problem, unable to use x2goclient. The strange thing is that I now used 3.99.3.0 for a week or so, without problems, but now I am stuck again, it just popped up out of nowhere. How can I fix this? It seems the vcxsrv is might not be started, but when starting it manually, it does not make a difference at all. Thanks, Markus

x2godesktopsharing, what's the point?
by Marco Isella 03 Dec '12

Can someone explain me when I could use x2godesktopsharing? >From the doc it looks like you needed it to share a desktop but I managed to share desktops without installing it (I only in installed x2goserver). I made a small video to explain better the situation: http://bit.ly/TdpcxE I'm on Ubuntu 12.10. Second questions. With x2godesktopsharing installed I have an applet (http://bit.ly/TZosgs) in the systray where I can activate/deactivate desktop sharing but it has no effect (I can connect with a client when Deactivate desktop sharing is selected) and I don't understand how to add users (Granted user... and Banned users... are always greyed out...)

x2go & debian wheezy ... strange browser freezes (and other little problems)
by Tim Kruse 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

Hi list, I was in contact with Mike Gabriel and he suggested, that I post some issues to the list, so here I am ... We are going to migrate our Terminalserver-farm from freeNX to x2go and are heaviliy testing the new infrastructure. First I have to say, that x2go is running very good 'out of the box'. Our Test-Setup is as follows: 2 debian wheezy amd64 server (1 AMD Opteron 6128 6-core and 1 Core2 Quad Q6600 with 8Gb RAM each) connected through 1Gb Ethernet running x2goserver 3.1.1.4 (I know, 3.1.1.9 is the actual Version ...) and KDE 4.8.4 Both x2goserver are configured with Postgres Backend and we have an Loadbalancer with IPVS in front of them. x2goclient version is 3.99.3.0 and 3.99.2.1 In our productive environment we will have round about 700 users connected running an KDE4 DE in Kiosk mode using own coded Software (mostly Gambas2 & 3 and Python programs), libreoffice, okular and iceweasel/firefox. We experienced browser freezes with iceweasel 10.0.10 and firefox 13.0.1 after some time of browser-inactivity (>= 15 min). I didn't found any logentries (neither syslog or .xsession-x2go-erros on server nor on client) and the system load is normal ... The client, from which these freezes are observed is a Dualhead PC with nvidia graphic card running the x2go-session in fullscreen mode with xinerama extension and it seems, that the freezes do not occur on clients with only one Display attached. We have flashplugin-nonfree installed, no browser addons, but those freezes are not limited to any flashsites. They occur on several websites including 'normal' howto sites (eg. gambas helpsite) and phpmyadmin. The next thing I want to point out is up to sound (pulseaudio) and suspended sessions. If sound is activated an a user suspends his session, there is strange pulseaudio related logfileflooding. Every second I get: [pulseaudio] main.c: User-configured server at localhost:30014, refusing to start/autospawn. After saying that, I have to admit, that suspend is something we don't want in our setup. I linked x2gosuspend-session to x2goterminate-session to always terminate the session even if the client gives suspend as signal (thanks to Mike for the hint). I think thats it for now :) So long, Tim Kruse --

x2go session timeout
by Tim Kruse 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

Hi all, regarding some connection tests it turns out, that there is a 120 sec timeout, after which a session to a not responding proxy is turned into suspend mode. /tmp/$USER/session-C-$SESSID: Warning: No data received from remote proxy within 30 seconds. Error: No data received from remote proxy within 120 seconds. Session: Display failure detected at 'Mon Nov 26 16:39:07 2012'. Session: Suspending session at 'Mon Nov 26 16:39:07 2012'. Session: Session suspended at 'Mon Nov 26 16:39:07 2012'. So the question is, if there is a chance to change these 120s? I think, this is an x2go/nx-agent behavior, so where can we dig in? Next, is there a chance to change the default behavior to terminate and not suspend? Thx, Tim

Install not working on Ubuntu 12.10
by brian mullan 24 Nov '12

Joe I saw your post: https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/x2go-user/2012-November/001107.html and wasn't sure if anyone responded to you yet. that error is caused by sshd_config file entry in Ubuntu which for some reason seems to change its default from release to release (at least for me). in /etc/ssh/ssd_config Ubuntu defaults to the following: # Change to yes to enable challenge-response passwords (beware issues with # some PAM modules and threads) ChallengeResponseAuthentication no # Change to no to disable tunnelled clear text passwords #PasswordAuthentication yes You will need to change: ChallengeResponseAuthentication no to ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes and uncomment the following by removing the Hash sign: #PasswordAuthentication yes then restart ssh sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart also NOTE that for some reason on some Ubuntu upgrades I have seen the "PasswordAuthentication" entry have any one of the 2 following defaults 1. #PasswordAuthentication yes 2. PasswordAuthentication no Both of which make "PasswordAuthentication no" the active default. But with x2go if you want to use login with User ID and Password entry by a user on the x2go client you have to allow it (set it to yes). Brian

x2goclient shutdown button
by Saint Germain 23 Nov '12

23 Nov '12

Hello, I have freshly reinstalled x2goserver and x2goclient and it seems that I don't have a shutdown button anymore in the Gnome session to quit x2goclient session properly ? For the moment I just close the session by clicking on the close "X" on the upper right and everything resumes properly. But I was wondering if this is intended (was there really a shutdown button or was I dreaming ?). Thanks

German Keyboard Layout issue
by Michael Korn 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Hello, I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 with X2go from the repository. If I work local, then I have no problems with the Keyboard Layout (de). But if I use X2go I have some issues. If I set (in Session preferences->Settings->Keyboard) Keyboard layout: de Keyboard model: pc105/de then I can't use the numpad correctly. If Num is unlocked, then it's fine. If I lock Num to use the numbers, then it works sometimes. E.g. sometimes I get '4' and sometimes the cursor goes one position to the left, if I press '4'. If I set (in Session preferences->Settings->Keyboard) Keyboard layout: auto Keyboard model: then the numpad works, but "AltGr", the arrow keys and "Strg" don't work correctly. Do anyone know the right configuration? Thanks, Michael

evince not snappy when displaying pdf, okular ok
by Denis Cardon 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Hi everyone, I would like to have some input on which pdf software people uses on this mailing list. Evince (gnome2 pdf display software) is really slow and going through a pdf document can be a pain, even on 1Gib lan connection. Xpdf is also quite dragging. Okular (kde pdf display software) on the other hand is decently snappy, not as fast as local desktop, but yet decent enough for common users. However I'd like to stay with gnome2 (actually mate-desktop) environement. The issue was the same on debian squeeze with legacy gnome2. Scrolling through libreoffice 3.6 (with anti aliasing disabled) is fine. Firefox, which also draws its whole canvas, is fine too. So I think it is more a counter optimisation in evince/gtk-canvas than a fundamental problem. So if anyone has some input on this, I'd be glad to head. environement: * Debian wheezy 32bit * latest x2goserver and x2goclient * mate desktop environement (new name for gnome2 environement). thanks for your input, Denis -- Denis Cardon Tranquil IT Systems Les Espaces Jules Verne, bâtiment A 12 avenue Jules Verne 44230 Saint Sébastien sur Loire tel : +33 (0) 2.40.97.57.55 http://www.tranquil-it-systems.fr

Re: [X2go-User] Mac client 'Can't connect to X-Server
by Neil Hunt 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

Paul, Unfortunately as a regular user of the Mac X2go client, this is something I've seen many times. Unfortunately, I haven't found any fix for it. The good news is that it rarely happens if you keep the X11 application open. Always open X11 before starting your X2go session. From there, you can stop/start X2go sessions, even the X2go client itself, however I almost always keep my X11 app running even when it's not being uses and then I don't get the problem you are describing. If I quit X11, especially if it's accidental during an active X2go session, then I end up with the problem you are describing and the only option is to restart the whole computer. But if I keep it open, I go for days or weeks without rebooting. Ultimately, I think we should look to move to the PyHoca gui, but we haven't been able to find any serious python developers to port it to OS X. Neil -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 6 Jul 2011 12:14:51 -0700 From: Paul Northug <pnorthug(a)gmail.com> To: x2go-user(a)lists.berlios.de Subject: [X2go-User] Mac client 'Can't connect to X-Server' Message-ID: <CAJAeRZy=KmQsVyoELQ4MrTDHZ8g03x8tXJm_hTL5NK50jQ9QEw(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Thank you to the developers for make this excellent software. Many people at my work use x2go's Mac client. We have never been able to figure out how to resolve the 'Can't connect to X-Server' error without random acts (eg. rebooting). We are not sure why it comes up. This is what I do: 1. Start X11.app 2. ssh -X remotehost 3. xterm & So far this works, I get an xterm so there is nothing wrong with X11 4. Start X2Go client 5. Start a session (port 22, dsa authentication, Gnome...) 6. Client gives the error and hangs (Abort and Terminate don't do anything) and I have to close the application. The closest we got to figuring it out is that the X11.app possibly changes it's DISPLAY on restarts and perhaps the x2go client is expecting display 0. Is there any more debugging information that I could get from the client to see what exactly it is doing prior to giving the error message? We have tried some of the suggestions in the forums, such as changing permissions in X11.app (this is necessary), starting it manually before starting the client. We have also done things like messed with firewall settings, made sure hostname doesn't change on our laptops between work and home, deleted preference files, delete XAuthority files, etc. What seems to work is rebooting. Thanks, P?l

Open GL dependencies
by Paul Daniels 10 Nov '12

10 Nov '12

I've got a kivy project that would work well with x2go. Running the program in a normal window works with open GL being reported as OpenGL version <2.1 Mesa 8.0.4> but when running on linux via x2go it reports as <1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.4.1)> before segfaulting. Kivy apparently needs a newer open GL version. Can anyone give me, ANY, hints as to where I should go looking. Thanks, Paul Daniels

[X2Go-Announcement] New X2Go releases: x2goserver, x2goclient, nx-libs aka x2goagent
by Mike Gabriel 10 Nov '12

10 Nov '12

Dear all, The X2Go Project is proud to announce a couple of new X2Go core component releases: - x2goserver (3.1.1.6) - x2goclient (3.99.3.0) - nx-libs (incl. x2goagent, 3.5.0.16) All new packages are already available in our stable repositories (Debian, Ubuntu). The binaries for Windows / Mac OS of X2Go Client will follow ASAP. PING@: Mihai (Mac OS build?), Alex (Windows build?) In the new X2Go Server release several issues got addressed: o X2Go server now works with i18n ,,Desktop'' folder names (using XDG for detecting the folder name) o Prevent x2gocleansessions from leaving zombie processes behind In x2goclient, several new features have been added. We urgently ask to report back new issue that may have come up by this massive code change: o Native / local RDP client support (Linux only, use it on your thinclients!!!) o Encapsulate X2Go-proxied fullscreen RDP session in desktop X2Go sessions, not rootless anymore. => X2GO logo appears on screen after session startup of such an RDP session o Add SSH proxy and HTTP proxy support (HTTP proxy is only usable with a libssh version not yet released, so this feature won't work for most of you...) o Fix creation of desktop shortcut icons for launching individual session profiles in hidden mode o Fix broken Xinerama support (got broken when we fixed x2goclient being able to handle non-bash login sessions) o new desktop shell in session type configuration: XFCE o add package: x2goplugin-provider, shows an example plugin configuration (visit: http://localhost/x2goplugin.html) o Much work on the HTTP broker client code o SSH broker added to the client code o Fix x2goplugin (Failed to resolve hostname issue) o New translations: Spanish, Danish (Thanks to Ricardo and Christoffer!!!) o Updated translation files (thanks to the other translators, too!!!) In nx-libs the tarball installer has been improve. It now installs in the same way as is done by the Debian packaging intelligence (only difference, it installs to /usr/local). No configure script for nx-libs.git, yet, but hopefully we have someone (Ralf) working on it for some future release of nx-libs. People packaging nx-libs should thoroughly check their packaging mechanism!!! light+love, Mike X2GOSERVER ========== x2goserver (3.1.1.6-0~x2go1) RELEASE; urgency=low * Bugfix release (3.1.1.6): - Fix for non-well-tested x2gomountdirs script. -- Mike Gabriel <mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de> Wed, 07 Nov 2012 20:57:54 +0100 x2goserver (3.1.1.5-0~x2go1) RELEASE; urgency=low [ Stéphane Graber ] * New upstream version (3.1.1.5): - Add a very basic SIGCHLD handler to x2gocleansessions. on SIGCHLD let the script wait for cleaning up after its children.

Hi there, I am trying to install x2go from the Ubuntu PPA but I get the following error: ***** $ sudo apt-get install x2goserver Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: x2goserver : Depends: x2goagent (>= 2:3.5.0.15-0~) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/x2go-stable-precise.list deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/x2go/stable/ubuntu precise main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/x2go/stable/ubuntu precise main ***** Any ideas what went wrong here?

User x2goprint - shell set to /bin/sh

Dear maintainer, on a system where x2goserver is installed I found the following entries in /etc/passwd: x2gouser:x:123:137::/var/lib/x2go:/bin/false x2goprint:x:130:139::/var/spool/x2goprint:/bin/sh Is there any reason why x2goprint should be able to logon interactively? Couldn't the shell be set to /bin/false like for x2gouser? Best regards Heinrich Schuchardt

Install not working on Ubuntu 12.10
by Joe Ambrosino 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

I have thus far installed x2go server on 3 Ubuntu desktop machines, two of them, Ubuntu 10.04 and one 12.04 that I've upgraded from10.04. The two machines that currently run on 10.04 work just fine I can connect using a password without using shared keys. I cannot get the 12.04 machine to work. I've installed & uninstalled completely several times. Each time I try to connect, I get an error -Access denied. Authentication that can continue: publickey, password,keyboard-interactive. I have tried connecting without a shared key, and discovered when I tried to use the shared key, the folder .x2go (yes I know, it's hidden) that is available in the Home folder on my other machines, isn't available on the 12.04 machine. I thought that perhaps the folder wasn't getting created because of a permissions issue, so I created an empty .x2go folder with the same permissions as on my other machines. This didn't help, the folder was never populated. I get no install errors. I tried enabling debugging, but wasn't able to find any output (I may not be looking in the correct place, but related is appearing in the logfile viewer.
