Global Unity bar issue in x2go
by christoffer krakou 26 Jun '12

26 Jun '12

Hello List i have upgraded my X2go server and X2go client to the newest versions, as i heard that Ubuntu's Unity interface is now supported. I have stumbled upon an error regarding the top menu in Unity. When i click on a menu item, like the cogwheel used to log out, it disappears when i release the mouse. To use the menus, i have to hold down the mouse button to use them, and release when i am over the desired menu item, like "log out". This is also true for the applications that use the global menu, like Firefox Everything else seems to to work well, though. -- Venlig Hilsen / Best Regards Christoffer Krakou Fleten.net APS

[X2Go-Announcement] New X2Go releases: x2goclient, pyhoca-gui, pyhoca-cli, python-x2go
by Mike Gabriel 23 Jun '12

23 Jun '12

Dear all, The X2Go Project is proud to announce a couple of new X2Go component releases: - x2goserver (3.1.1.1) - pinentry-x2go (0.7.5.4) All new packages will be available in our stable repositories (Debian, Ubuntu) within the next 24h. In X2Go server we have put some focus on automatic client keybaord recognition. Put ,,auto'' as keyboard type/model in x2goclient and check your keyboard settings within the X2Go session with ,,setxkbmap -print''. PyHoca-GUI already has a widget in the session profile management window to enable auto-keyboard recognition. Also, this version of X2Go Server now has Unity and GNOME3 session support. Use X2Go Client 3.99.2.1 or PyHoca-GUI 0.2.0.x to enjoy Unity session on Ubuntu servers running X2Go. Also a fix for an error that occurred when unmounting client-side shares on NFS homes has been added to this release. The pinentry-x2go project experienced a very comprehensive code clean up. No new features have been added, but the X2Go pinentry fork has been prepared for upload to Debian. light+love, Mike X2Go Server changes =================== x2goserver (3.1.1.1-0~x2go1) RELEASE; urgency=low [ Mike Gabriel ] * New upstream version (3.1.1.1): - Add/fix Python X2Go folder sharing/unsharing support from Windows. - Handle whitespace in folder names appropriately. - Allow .desktop file parameter Terminal=... to pass through to X2Go client-side. - Avoid error messages in x2gocmdexistmessage if cmdoutput file could not be found. - Provide nx-X11 libraries for applications launched via x2goruncommand. - Add feature X2GO_SERVERSIDE_DESKTOPCOMMANDS. Let client provide a generic desktop shell command (GNOME, UNITRY, KDE, etc.) which then gets translated into an executable command by x2goruncommand. - Detect desktop session mode to use for Ubuntu precise and later. - Complete UNITY/GNOME support for Ubuntu/Debian. - Use ,,-nolisten tcp'' option when evoking x2goagent from within x2gostartagent. - Export NX_ROOT=$HOME/.x2go in x2gostartagent. Makes the keyboard file in X2Go session cache directory. - Add support for client-side keyboard detection.

connection failed xhost: unable to open display ""
by nigra truo 20 Jun '12

20 Jun '12

I get this error on Windows 7, on X2go client V. 3.99.2.1, Xming is running, and will have to go back to an older release, as the new releases all did that so far. I asked this question before, but had no answer whatsoever: is there a bug tracker for X2go? Is this error before known? is there a work around instead of downgrading? Thanks, Markus

X2Go on CentOS 6.2 with PyHoca as Client
by Lukas Laukamp 19 Jun '12

19 Jun '12

Hey all, I want to use X2Go at CentOS 6.2. So I installed a KVM virtual maschine with a CentOS 6.2 minimal system. I installed GNOME and X11 with a yum groupinstall command like follows: yum groupinstall "Desktop" "Desktop Platform" "X Window System" "Fonts" Than I added the RHEL6 X2Go Rep which is listed at the X2Go Page (http://www.x2go.org/doku.php/external:linux-distributions) Than I installed x2goserver, python-x2go and x2gognomebindings like follows: yum install x2goserver python-x2go x2gognomebindings After this I added a profil in PyHoca, to connect to the server and tried to start a GNOME session. PyHoca says that it starts the session and immediatly after the startup it says that the session is shut down. So PyHoca doesn't get to the point that it start a session window or something like that it directly shut down the session. The only thing I found on a logfile (/var/log/messages) is that the session got start correctly. Here is the log entry: Jun 15 20:45:45 testdom0 /usr/bin/x2gostartagent: successfully started X2Go agent session with ID lukas-51-1339785943_stDGNOME_dp17 Jun 15 20:45:49 testdom0 /usr/bin/x2goruncommand: launching session with Xsession-x2go mechanism, using STARTUP="gnome-session" There is no more information in the logfiles, no errors, no warnings or something like that. Does someone have a working x2goserver on CentOS and can explain what to do to get it running with PyHoca as client? Or can someone give me information where the error could be located? Best Regards

config based on mac address
by stefan＠terminal21.de 15 Jun '12

15 Jun '12

Hey all, we are using X2Go in a thin client environment via PXE boot. We used debian linux and the official documentation for setup. All works fine. What we want now is to have autologin for the thin clients. In the past we used LTSP and there is a config file, where you can bind autologin to mac addresses (http://aacable.wordpress.com/2010/06/30/ubuntu-ltsp-lts-conf-example-for-au…) How can we realize this behavior with X2Go? Any suggestions? Stefan

Removal of EsounD support
by Mihai Moldovan 13 Jun '12

13 Jun '12

Hi all, I'm thinking about removing ESD support from x2goclient altogether. During my recent deep changes to the PulseAudio integration for X2goclient on both Windows and Mac OS X, I came across the ESD sound support. On Windows, ESD was supported through the PulseAudio wrapper, while OS X was totally broken anyway. Testing ESD support proves to be difficult, and I'm thinking about removing it completely. Most Linux distributions have already removed esd (and tools) from their repo, or rather replaced it by the PulseAudio esd compat layer. That's especially true for Ubuntu, but also Debian Testing and Unstable (Debian Stable still has esd for x86 and amd64 arches, but this will be dropped in favor of PulseAudio in the upcoming release.) That said, I'd like to know whether users are still using esd or not. I wouldn't feel comfortable removing a feature still in use. Please report, if you find the time. Best regards, Mihai

sshd not running error on Mac client although ssh enabled
by Mark Dammer 13 Jun '12

13 Jun '12

I have installed x2go client on a Mac (snow leopard). The main terminal server functionality works well, however, I do not get local file access and printing enabled due to an "ssdh not running" error. SSH is enabled on the Mac. Has anyone solved this problem without the need to install or recompile additional software ? thanks for any help, Mark

The NX (redistributed) code tree has received a fix for the main Makefile. Also a patch for building on Mac OS X 10.5 has been included, plus an X2Go related patch by Oleksandr. On top of that, we have fixed installation of libnx-x11 (Debian package) on 64-bit systems with multi-arch support (i.e. Debian wheezy+sid). X2GoClient and X2Go TCE have received some improvements, too. The shutdown button is now fully implemented witin X2GoClient, the x2gothinshutdown package has been dropped. The TCE also received a new and more colourful boot splash. At this point I would like to explicitly thank Mihai Moldovan for investing his time into X2Go Client development on Mac OS X. Mihai has contributed some great patches to the X2Go Client code and has also taken over the building of the Mac OS X binary of X2Go Client (including nx-libs-lite i.e. nxproxy+libxcomp3). The X2Go project--with Mihai on board--is now able to offer the X2Go Client for current Mac OS X versions again. Thanks for that, Mihai!!! light+love, Mike x2goserver (3.1.0.1-0~x2go1) RELEASE; urgency=low * New upstream version (3.1.0.1): - Provide infrastructure for on-logout script calls. - Do only run session cleanup scripts from within x2goruncommand.

MacOS X 10.6.8 client, Ubuntu 12.04 server, scrambled keyboard
by Dirk Rüdiger Berlich 10 Jun '12

10 Jun '12

Hi there, I'm trying to connect from a Mac (MacOS X 10.6.8, x86_54) to a Ubuntu 12.04 desktop (Unity 2D, x86_64). The connection works out of the box and moving windows around works super fast, so I am eager to use x2go. However, any attempt to use the keyboard ends in disaster, as the key mapping seems to be totally scrambled. Unity has a little helper application that shows you which key it believes have been pressed. Doing this on the server in a local x2go client session shows the right keys. Doing this under the Mac client shows pretty much random key presses. E.g., pressing "h" shows up as "3", "n" shows up as "x" and so forth. Changing the keyboard map in the client interface (e.g. to English US from the default German / eliminate dead keys) does not help. Changing the option "Tastaturlayout behalten" (i.e. keep keyboard layout) does not help. Changing the desktop environment to KDE or Gnome-Classic does not help either. On the server, x2goversion reports x2goserver: 3.1.1.0 x2goserver-extensions: 3.1.1.0 x2goserver-fmbindings: 3.1.1.0 x2goserver-printing: 3.1.1.0 x2goserver-xsession: 3.1.1.0 The Mac client has version 3.99.2.0 . Any ideas ? Thanks and Best Regards, Ruediger

X2Go client change password on logon
by k.whitaker＠woffleys.co.uk 08 Jun '12

08 Jun '12

Hi, X2GO is working perfectly on debian squeeze, however does anyone know how to change a user's password via the x2go client on login? unfortunately our set-up requires passwords to be changed every 60 days and when its expired I get the message: Connection failed WARNING: Your password has expired. Password change required but no TTY available. apart from using putty or plink or ssh to trigger a password change, Im hoping there's a way to do this within the client. Kind Regards, Kris.

Re: [X2Go-User] Redhat, runlevels and visibility (x2goserver)
by Burnce＠gmx.net 06 Jun '12

06 Jun '12

Hi Mike, Thanks for your rapid response. I have placed some entries in the Wiki. The structure was not so clear to me. Man links to (x2goserver download, install etc.) pointed to the generic page for x2goserver which had no download and install sections. I have done my best to follow preexisting structure and added my information where possible. I cannot check the git paths from work, but from memory the ones that didn't work were on the following page: http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:development:build-howto-linux:x2goserver How does the following comment fit in with the RPM builds? I see no x2goserver-xsession or x2goserver-extensions RPMs. Also, if the remote server already has a desktop environment installed then one more x2go package (besides x2goserver) must now be installed on the server before the x2goclient can successfully initiate/start a remote desktop x2go session. This additional x2go package is called x2goserver-xsession. This must be installed for the x2goclient to successfully start the remote desktop x2go session unless the x2goserver is intended for use with the new x2go Published Apps capability (see NOTE below). I will look into the runlevel issue when I have the chance. Do you have debugging documentation (i.e. locations of logfiles etc.)?

X2Go TCE on USB key with Debian live-build ?
by Charlie BRAVO 22 May '12

22 May '12

Hello to everybody, This is our first post on x2go. Sorry if the question seems stupid or if we are not at the right place. We googled during days without finding a precise answer... We have to use thin clients to connect to x2go-servers. Thus, we looked the "Installation of the X2Go TCE based on Debian" (http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:components:tce) That looks not bad :-) But we cannot use a PXE server. So, we need the "same" thing, but on a CD, or better, on an USB key. We saw on archived posts (for example: http://www.mail-archive.com/x2go-dev@lists.berlios.de/msg02233.html) that this question was discussed, but not considered "making sense". The links which are given there (for example for "apt-get install x2go-rootfs") do not seem any more up to date... And the wiki "X2Go Live" (http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:components:x2golive) seems... empty. For other reasons, we use a little "live-build" (http://live.debian.net/) but we are not experts. Our first question: After runnig "x2gothinclient_update" we have a "X2go TCE chroot" (under /opt/x2gothinclient/chroot/). Is there a simple way to use this directory with live-build to build a binary image? That is, avoiding the "bootstrap" stage and the "chroot" stage, but starting directly with the "binary" stage? Our second (more global) question: It looks like the "X2go TCE chroot" (under /opt/x2gothinclient/chroot/) obtained with "x2gothinclient_create" is built in a similar way what live-build could do (are we wrong?). As said previously (in the archive posts), it seems that the project x2go decided not to maintain both solutions: TCE and live-build. But, *maybe* would-it be possible to maintain both results for a single effort? live-build can build different kinds of images (lb_config -b|--binary-images iso|iso-hybrid|net|tar|hdd) of which "net". Instead of maintaining the "x2gothinclient_create" package, would it not be possible to just maintain the accurate options to be entered to "lb config", "lb build", etc... and the additional "includes" or "modified packages" or "hooks" and to let the user choose between the options "--binary-images" ("hdd" or "net")? Thus both needs could be satisfied just with a single effort ;-) Thank you for your answers. In the rush, we just need a way to "put" the PXE-chroot on a "live" USB key... Best Regards, Charlie --

x2goclient and HTTP proxy
by Maarten Boekhold 20 May '12

20 May '12

Hi all, After a hiatus of a couple of years, I decided to try x2go again, since NX Client from Nomachine doesn't seem to handle an XFCE desktop very well. I was pleasantly surprised, x2go seems to have improved massively and works just beautifully. One thing I am missing however is the ability to establish a session through an HTTP proxy server (using HTTP CONNECT). NX Client 3.x does do this (but it seems it's not possible in the NX Client 4 beta client). I've done a little bit of research, and it looks like LIBSSH does have some facilities to support a "proxy command": ssh_options_set(my_ssh_session, SSH_OPTION_PROXYCOMMAND, "command"); "command" in this case would be something like 'corkscrew' or 'proxytunnel'. http://www.agroman.net/corkscrew/ http://proxytunnel.sourceforge.net/ What are the chances that this SSH_OPTION_PROXYCOMMAND could be integrated into the x2go client? It looks like x2goclient is built using cygwin, and I believe that both corkscrew as well as proxytunnel can be built on cygwin as well. So I wonder if the following additions to x2goclient are possible: - Add the following GUI options to x2go sessions: - HTTP proxy host: takes hostname/ip of your HTTP proxy - HTTP proxy port: takes port of HTTP proxy - HTTP proxy username : for optional authentication - HTTP proxy password : for optional authentication - I'm not sure if corkscrew supports proxy authentication... - On start of a session, if HTTP proxy host+port is specified, use ssh_options_set() with command corkscrew <proxy host> <proxy port> <remote host> <remote_ip> (I *think* you can harcode %h and %p for the remote host and remote ip...) - Add corkscrew to the x2goclient distribution I believe the licenses of x2goclient and corkscrew are compatible (both GPL2). Interested in your thoughts about this. Rgds, Maarten

Kubuntu Precise & DBUS problems with x2go. { FORWARD from X2GO-DEV }
by Helmer Teles 18 May '12

18 May '12

Hello ML I've been strugling with kubuntu 12.04 precise & x2go. As reported before kde crashes several times with dbus errors. DBUS is deneing access to x2go remote sessions. I've googled for the error, but can't seem to find the way to solve the problem system wide. As a example, printer-applet crashes if i don't change two rules in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/com.redhat.NewPrinterNotification.conf I've already tried to modify dbus conf to listen on tcp connections instead of only socket. Does anyone have any insight on this subject? regards, -- Helmer Teles eM at il : helmer [DOT] teles [AT] Google mail Web Page: http://hteles.wordpress.com Hello ML, Does anyone has tested Kubuntu 12.04 with x2go stable PPA! I've instaled two testing machines and have been having crashes with kwin. Both machines are running on KVM and don't have the same problem when running inside virt-viewer. Please can anyone share their experiences with kde 4.8.x with other distros ou kubuntu previous versions? regards, -- Helmer Teles eM at il : helmer [DOT] teles [AT] Google mail Web Page: http://hteles.wordpress.com

Authentication issues
by Inquisitor SHM 17 May '12

17 May '12

I need assistance getting X2Go working. I have Ubuntu 12.04 running x2go server and OSX as the x2go client. I can ssh into ubuntu from mac. I cannot get x2go working - no matter what. The errors messages are non-descript and neither google or the documentation has been any help. I get - (1) The server is unknown. Do you trust the host key? Public key has .... in spite of having the public key in authorized_keys and the server in known_hosts. After responding Yes to the prompt above I get - No public key matchesd Access Denied. Authentication that can continue: publickey, keyboard-interactive. Pressing OK then follows with the username/password prompt. I put in the correct username and password. The system repeats again the same 'The server is unknown message from (1) above. It does not matter whether I allow sshd to use clear passwords or not. I kindly ask for your assistance. That request said, let me say this: I think this project is fantastic and has a lot of promise. However, as long as connectivity between server and client remains more difficult than what it should, and remains badly documented, then the entire project effort is meaningless. The entire project is therefore less than useless. I have some 20 years systems engineering/software development experience and am generally the most technical person in most companies that I work at, which is saying something when there are about 500 technical resources at any point in time. If I get frustrated with setting up simple connectivity then clearly it is beyond the average user - who by the way is your target audience. Again, please help me connect and understand how and why it fails to connect/authenticate. Sincerely, G. Ravenor A Geeks Alter-Ego

No window decorations for single applications
by Maystar＠web.de 16 May '12

16 May '12

Hey, On the wiki page http://www.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:development:x2go-qa I found these known issue: "On some servers Qt-applications have no window decorations, reason is currently unknown." I'm running the x2go server on a kubuntu, an openSuse 11.4 and 12.1 machine and confirm this bug for every of these servers! So for me this seems not to be a rare problem. All of the machines come with KDE but on suse I also installed lxde. I really would like to help to solve this bug but I don't know how. If anyone gives me a hint I could give more information about the configurations on the servers. The decorations are missing at every program I tried, this includes pure kde, gtk but also java applications. Best regards Fabian

I'm getting the following errors from Event Log: sshd: PID 10416: error: Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_key sshd: PID 10416: error: Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key sshd: PID 10472: error: Couldn't create pid file "/var/run/sshd.pid": No such file or directory The last occurs when you start the client, the first two occur when you log into the server. I should note that these errors in Event Log are not handled properly, I get the following in front of every error: "The description for Event ID 0 from source sshd cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer. If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event. The following information was included with the event: " I have created a ssh_host_rsa_key in C:\Users\<user>\.x2go\etc and this doesn't seem to resovle the problem. It's not clear why the install doesn't create these files, or why the errors are reported if x2go is running fine. james

scrambled keyboard when using mac client?
by Marsette Vona 04 May '12

04 May '12

Just installed x2go, mac client 3.99.20 on os x 10.6.8, server running ubuntu 11.10 and x2goserver 3.1.1.0. The mouse seems to work well once I figured out to use a custom desktop with command "gnome-session --session=gnome-fallback" . But the keyboard is scrambled. For example hitting the j key results in an l in the terminal, hitting f types 2, etc. I tried frobbing the keyboard settings both on the server and in the x2go client and no dice. I also tried an external keyboard (this is on a macbook pro), same problem. Only workaround I've found so far is to run the linux client in vmware on my mac. The keyboard works then. I googled and didn't find too much on this issue. Seems like it was raised before on this list but I didn't see any resolution: https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/x2go-user/2011-August/000301.html Thanks for any ideas, Marty Vona

Lubuntu 12.04 and X2GoServer

03 May '12

I have noted the following issues so far when using an X2Go Session with Lubuntu 12.04 AMD64 (uses LXDE): The selected theme is ignored. Only the default theme is used (Clearlooks in this case). When I try to use Openbox to change the them to the theme I want (Lubuntu-default) I get an error "an error occurred while saving the config file '/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml'. Certain applications do not appear in the LXDE application menu. Things like the Synaptic Package Manager for example. It's like the user does not have proper access permissions when logged in via an X2Go session. Any ideas?

Re: [X2Go-User] ubuntu 12.04 and x2go server installation - found reason for failed remote desktop session starts
by brian mullan 03 May '12

03 May '12

Mike I've had private msgs from several folks about this edit of fixing this same problem for them also and I think all of them were 64bit linux. Below is yesterday's post to the x2go-user alias by another person. I've not had time yet to try a combo of 32 bit client & server to see if x2go & ssh are different with this setting than 64bit but will try to do so this weekend if possible.

I just installed pyhoca-gui on my local pc running ubuntu 12.04 using the ubuntu repositories and synaptic. pyhoca-gui fails to start and displays: * * *$ pyhoca-gui Xlib.protocol.request.QueryExtension pyhoca-gui[21497] (PyHoca-GUI) WARN: the current release of PyHoca-GUI does not support client configuration* So I'm not able to try it and I'm not sure what the problem is with "client configuration"? I'll delete the wiki entry if you are sure the sshd_config entry isn't a problem but I'm not so sure. As I've said changing it to "no" and x2goclient fails, change to "yes" and it works? I can always just use this as my personal "fix" until some other reason for the failures appears.

ubuntu 12.04 and x2go server installation - found reason for failed remote desktop session starts
by brian mullan 28 Apr '12

28 Apr '12

I recently had reported installing x2goserver on a totally new server machine and the x2goclient on a totally new client machine both running Ubuntu 12.04 beta 2 and the fact that when trying to start an x2go session it would always indicate "running" then immediately fail/terminate. I've found out the following. After adding the x2go PPA for debian/ubuntu *sudo add-apt-repository ppa:x2go/stable sudo apt-get update* In the past all I've had to do on the server was install x2goserver *sudo apt-get install x2goserver* then edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and enable ChallengeResponseAuthentication to YES *ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes* However, with the new x2go versions apparently that is NOT they only module that needs to be installed. On the server you now also must install x2goserver-xsession * sudo apt-get install x2goserver-xsession* My best guess is that this was introduced when the new x2go versions implemented the ability to *published apps* on the x2go server without having to install any sort of desktop environment on the remote "server" machine. After installing the x2goserver-xsession the x2goclient now successfully creates a remote desktop session with one caveate... I've had to setup the remote server for ssh automatic login If using Ubuntu refer to: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys If I do not do this then the login to the remote server will always fail due to some ssh failure but I am not sure if its the client or server side that fails but that is another problem to figure out later. At least I can get a remote desktop now. I'm not sure if the above change was documented anywhere on the x2go wiki but I will check and add it if it doesn't exist yet. Brian

Mike Already did that yesterday.. pls chk my wiki updates to see if they make sense though as I'd also added info concerning the need to now also install x2goserver-xsession if you want to use the remote server as a remote desktop which was a change from the past where all I had to do was install x2goserver package and everything "just worked".

ubuntu/debian - found reason for login failures that display error msg: "Access denied. Authentication that can continue: publickey, keyboard-interactive"
by brian mullan 25 Apr '12

25 Apr '12

In the past I and others have had no problem with x2go client logins to Ubuntu/Debian x2goservers. However, sometime n the past year or two of Ubuntu & Debian OS updates something changed which caused the normal x2goclient session profile that requires the UserID -and- Password to be entered would fail giving an error message on the client that says: *Access denied. Authentication that can continue: publickey,keyboard-interactive* I finally found out the reason for this change in behavior and here's how to fix it. Get a terminal session with your x2goserver and edit */etc/ssh/sshd_config* *sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config* in /etc/ssh/sshd_config (example was copied from Ubuntu 12.04) you will see the following entries: *# Change to yes to enable challenge-response passwords (beware issues with # some PAM modules and threads) ChallengeResponseAuthenticatio**n yes # Change to no to disable tunnelled clear text passwords PasswordAuthentication no* To fix this CHANGE *PasswordAuthentication* to "*yes*" and save the file and restart ssh *sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart* *REASON for the failure & change of behavior from previous/older versions of Ubuntu.* I installed several older versions of Ubuntu going back to Ubuntu 9.10 and found that the installations of the Ubuntu Server changed the content of the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file! In older systems the entry for PasswordAuthentication either said: *# Change to no to disable tunnelled clear text passwords # PasswordAuthentication no* where the PasswordAuthentication line *was commented out* ... which then defaulted it to "YES" *-or-* the Password Authentication line was actually uncommented BUT set to "YES" *# Change to no to disable tunnelled clear text passwords PasswordAuthentication yes* So those older OS versions and x2go *would work* using login ID's and Passwords. Sometime during one of the Ubuntu 11.x releases the PasswordAuthentication entry was actually changed to "no" as is the case in Ubuntu 12.04 servers and the line was left not commented out so it was active... *# Change to no to disable tunnelled clear text passwords PasswordAuthentication no * That is what caused the failure of x2go logins using passwords and would present the user with that error message: *Access denied. Authentication that can continue: publickey,keyboard-interactive* I've made this change now and no longer see the problem on my servers so I wanted to share this info. Brian

x2go debug syslog info - failed session on 12.04 ubuntu server and client using ppa:x2go/stable
by brian mullan 21 Apr '12

21 Apr '12

Background... For some time now I've been trying to get x2go client/server working ubuntu 12.04 beta 2. But I am consistently getting failed x2go session starts. Brand new client install of Ubuntu 12.04 desktop: - sudo add-apt-repository ppa:x2go/stable - sudo apt-get update - sudo apt-get install x2goclient Brand new Ubuntu 12.04 server with ubuntu-desktop installed - sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop - sudo add-apt-repository ppa:x2go/stable - sudo apt-get update - sudo apt-get install x2goserver On client: I start x2goclient and set Session type to Gnome I start the session and everything looks normal as I see my x2goclient display "running" then it just returns "Finished" and no real remote desktop session ever gets started.

Client for PowerPC Macs ?
by Mark Dammer 18 Apr '12

18 Apr '12

Is there a client that runs on PowerPC Macs with 10.4 "Tiger" installed ? I tried to install the latest 3.99 Mac client on an older G4 with "Tiger" installed, but the system complains that the software can not run on this computer (X11 is installed). Tried to download the older "Pre-GIT" image, but the image that was zipped seems to be corrupt: MacOS unzips the file, but fails to mount the resulting .dmg. thanks for any help, Mark

by christoffer krakou 18 Apr '12

18 Apr '12

Hello there people I'm using x2go, and so far i'm loving it. there is one thing, though, that iffs me. When i'm using unity on ubuntu, the top global menu bar dosnt work like it does locally. On my local install, i can click the menu items, no problem. On the x2go session, i need to click and hold down the mouse button before i can use the menus, "letting go" when i activate a menu entry. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks in advance -- Venlig Hilsen / Best Regards Christoffer Krakou Fleten.net APS

next x2goclient release / translation work in progress
by Mike Gabriel 12 Apr '12

12 Apr '12

Hi All, first... just for the record, on the x2go-i18n list we are currently discussing pulling the original English text phrases in X2Go Client code straight. I'd say that the next X2Go Client release will be delayed, till the English phrases have been updated. Unfortunately, this also means extra work of all translators, once the English originals have been fixed/updated. secone... our current goal for the next release... The current goal for x2goclient 3.99.2.1 is that these languages will be available (with complete translation): German Swedish Norwegian (Bokmal) Russian Translations in prep are: French Translations available, but not complete, are: Trad. Chinese (PING@Arlo) As we have Dutch and Spanish for PyHoca-GUI, but not for X2Go Client... Are those translators willing to take over translation work for X2Go Client, as well??? Or anyone else? Anyone interested in translation work / contribution to X2Go, please subscribe to: http://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/x2go-i18n and state your interest...

X2Go release day: x2goserver, x2goclient (adds support for Published Applications)
by Mike Gabriel 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

Dear all, The X2Go Project is proud to announce two new X2Go component releases: - x2goserver (3.1.1.0) - x2goclient (3.99.2.0) The new packages will be available in our stable repositories (Debian, Ubuntu) within the next 24h. The windows and Mac OS versions of x2goclient will probably be available tomorrow, as well. (PING: @Mihai, @Oleksandr). The Windows binary may get delay a little longer, as we are currently migrating the Windows development machine to another hoster, so we have to ask for your patience here. Sources and binary releases will be downloadable under this URL as soon as they are provided by the packagers. http://code.x2go.org/releases/ The new X2Go Server and Client versions add X2Go Published Applications support. This feature was sponsored/contracted by Stefan Baur (http://www.baur-itcs.de) The feature allows to export a server-side, user-individual as well as system-wide applications menu to the X2Go Client. We expect this feature to become higly attractive to Linux SaaS providers. Published Applications support will also be available in the next release of PyHoca-GUI, this (and also stabilizing PyHoca-GUI on Windows 7) is currently work in progress, sponsored by Dick Kniep (http://www.lindix.nl) light+love, Mike x2goserver (3.1.1.0-0~x2go1) RELEASE; urgency=low [ Mike Gabriel ] * New upstream version (3.1.1.0): - Syslog warnings have to be named ,,warning'' not ,,warn''. - Add usage output to x2goserver-run-extensions. - Fix syslog output of x2goserver-run-exentions. - Fix x2goserver extension calls in x2goruncommand. - Add feature name ,,X2GO_PUBLISHED_APPLICATIONS''. - Add new command ,,x2gofeaturelist''. This command can be used by X2Go client applications to retrieve a list of server-side supported X2Go features. - Update date and version number in man pages. - Fix race condition between session.log of x2goagent and x2gocleansessions. The old situation was: in cases that x2goagent was not fast enough with appending the new session state to the session.log file, the x2gocleansessions script marked the session as suspended during the session resuming process. - Wait one second for x2goagent to write to session.log before updating the session state from 'S' to 'R' in the X2Go session database. - Add X2Go server script x2gogetstatus. - Add/enable debugging of x2gocleansessions. - Silence error messages if the agent's session.log file is not accessible (e.g. on NFSv4+Krb5-mounted homes). - Improve concurrent database access with session db backend SQLite. * Remove /etc/x2go/applications on package removal if it is a symlink, keep it, if it is a directory. Remove /etc/x2go (if empty after purge) on package purge. * Bump Debian packaging standards version to 3.9.3. * Use dh_link to symlink X11 directories into /etc/x2go.

The old situation was: in cases that x2goagent was not fast enough with appending the new session state to the session.log file, the x2gocleansessions script marked the session as suspended during the session resuming process. - Wait one second for x2goagent to write to session.log before updating the session state from 'S' to 'R' in the X2Go session database. - Add X2Go server script x2gogetstatus. - Add/enable debugging of x2gocleansessions. - Silence error messages if the agent's session.log file is not accessible (e.g. on NFSv4+Krb5-mounted homes). - Improve concurrent database access with session db backend SQLite. * Remove /etc/x2go/applications on package removal if it is a symlink, keep it, if it is a directory. Remove /etc/x2go (if empty after purge) on package purge. * Bump Debian packaging standards version to 3.9.3. * Use dh_link to symlink X11 directories into /etc/x2go.

The windows and Mac OS versions of x2goclient will probably be available tomorrow, as well. (PING: @Mihai, @Oleksandr). Sources and binary releases will be downloadable under this URL as soon as they are provided by the packagers. http://code.x2go.org/releases/ The new X2Go Server version adds ~/.x2go_logout script support to the server-side of X2Go and fixes the x2goserver-fmbindings Makefile. The NX (redistributed) code tree has received a fix for the main Makefile. Also a patch for building on Mac OS X 10.5 has been included, plus an X2Go related patch by Oleksandr. On top of that, we have fixed installation of libnx-x11 (Debian package) on 64-bit systems with multi-arch support (i.e. Debian wheezy+sid). X2GoClient and X2Go TCE have received some improvements, too. The shutdown button is now fully implemented witin X2GoClient, the x2gothinshutdown package has been dropped. The TCE also received a new and more colourful boot splash. At this point I would like to explicitly thank Mihai Moldovan for investing his time into X2Go Client development on Mac OS X. Mihai has contributed some great patches to the X2Go Client code and has also taken over the building of the Mac OS X binary of X2Go Client (including nx-libs-lite i.e. nxproxy+libxcomp3). The X2Go project--with Mihai on board--is now able to offer the X2Go Client for current Mac OS X versions again. Thanks for that, Mihai!!! light+love, Mike x2goserver (3.1.0.1-0~x2go1) RELEASE; urgency=low * New upstream version (3.1.0.1): - Provide infrastructure for on-logout script calls. - Do only run session cleanup scripts from within x2goruncommand. Dropping them from x2goterminate-session. - Be tolerant against x2go_logout script failures. - Fix Makefile of x2goserver-fmbindings (thanks to Oliver Burger), improve uninstall code in Makefiles. -- Mike Gabriel <mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de> Wed, 07 Mar 2012 21:05:28 +0100 nx-libs (2:3.5.0.12-0) RELEASE; urgency=low [ Mike Gabriel ] * Update patch: 001_add-main-makefile.full+lite.patch, adapt patch from packaging. Test for Makefiles in subfolders before calling them. Fixes build failure during ,,make distclean'' calls. * Provide temporary workaround for installation on Debian 64bit with multiarch support (via libnx-x11.postinst and .prerm). * Re-introduce proper Xinerama support on non-multiarch systems. [ Mihai Moldovan ] * Add patch: 051_nxcomp_macos105-fdisset.full+lite.patch, work around issue in Mac OS X 10.5 SDK. Pass address of fd_set structs on the stack to the FD_ISSET macro/function, instead of the struct itself. * Update patch: 005_nxcomp_gcc43.full+lite.patch, fix faulty path to nxcomp/Split.cpp. [ Oleksandr Shneyder ] * Add patch: 203_nxagent_disable-rootless-exit.full.patch, add command line argument "-norootlessexit". Usually, nxagent exits after 30 seconds if running in rootless mode and no X-Clients are present. Starting nxagent with option "-norootlessexit" will change this behaviour. -- Mike Gabriel <mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de> Wed, 07 Mar 2012 20:50:14 +0100 x2goclient (3.99.1.1-0~x2go1) RELEASE; urgency=low [ Oleksandr Shneyder ] * New upstream version (3.99.1.1): - not including <netinet/in.h> on Q_OS_WIN platform. - not updating Xinerama configuration in "fullscreen" mode. - command line argument "--xinerama": use Xinerama by default. - improved support for use in TCE command line argument --thinclient - running without window manager command line argument --haltbt - button to shutdown the thin client - Fix comments in copyright headers.

x2go and vnc interconnection
by x2go＠karel.tt.ee 03 Apr '12

03 Apr '12

Hello! I am new x2go user. I have one virtual Ubuntu installation (12.04, Gnome) where I have set up x2go server running and I can connect remotly (from other linux or windows desktop systems), have working audio etc, and all this is independent. But also I would like to use any kind of vnc as backup in case where it is not possible to install/use x2go client (ofcourse it is slower, no audio etc) to get and use the same already running x2go session. The best I can with x11vnc is original desktop of this virtual installation but where is nobody logged in most of time. Or with vnc4server I can get a new independent desktop (third one). Does anyone tried and got success in such combination of vnc and x2go virtual sessions? There is also desktop sharing feature in Gnome menu and once activated I can get exactly what I want, but this vnc connection will almost freeze (no more than 2 actions can be done in one minute) after I disconnect my x2go client. Everything is running again after x2go client is reconnected. Yes, I understand, this is vnc related as well as x2go question but...

long delays on Eclipse redisplay
by Dan Halbert 02 Apr '12

02 Apr '12

I'm using x2go Windows client 3.99.2.0-rc2 and also the Ubuntu client, connecting to Ubuntu 64-bit x2go version 2:3.5.0.12-0~234~oneiric1, using both gnome-session-fallback and unity-2d sessions. With certain client programs, especially Eclipse, I have noticed a very long delay when a redisplay of the underlying program window is necessary. For instance, when a dialog box that overlaps the main Eclipse window is closed, or a terminal window is put underneath Eclipse, there can sometimes be a 5-30 second delay before Eclipse redraws itself. During that time the whole x2go session is frozen. I looked in all the relevant logs and see nothing. I am not sure this is an x2go problem at all, but I don't remember similar problems with Eclipse and freenx. I've looked for similar Eclipse bugs, but all the ones I found that sounds similar are quite old and supposedly have been fixed. If you have seen this problem with Eclipse or other client programs, I'd be interested to hear about it and if you have a fix. Thanks, Dan

tce how does --haltbt work
by Stefan 01 Apr '12

01 Apr '12

Hi all, I still try to build a local thinclient environment for laptops using an window manager. This is necessary because I need a graphical interface for network (wicd) and an power-manager (gnome-power-manager). The x2goclient shall be work as an login-manager as transparent as possible - nearly like on the thinclient environment. While I got usb automount running, I still try to get halt button inside the x2goclient working. When I start the x2goclient with the --haltbt option I got the button inside the x2goclient, but without function. Can anybody help me please in understanding the procedure this is working in the thinclient environment? Which is the command the client sends and what I have to configure? Thanks and greetings stefan
