Hi, I'm having some issues that I think are bugs and was just wondering if there is a bug tracker tracking all the bugs that are currently open. Having to search through all posts is a little arduous. Thanks, Markus

Few questions with Windows client
by Scott Balmos 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

Hi all, I'm currently running the Windows build 3.99.1.0 client on my work laptop to access a KUbuntu 11.10 VM at home running server version 3.1.0.1. I have two questions that have me scratching my head... 1) With the Windows client, when my KDE session starts up, the default launcher at the bottom of the session's window is not displayed, as if the Windows client is reporting a taller session pixel height than it should be. As soon as I perform a session window resize (even dragging any window dimension out and back by one pixel) redraws the session into the proper window size. This behavior does not seem to happen on the Linux x2go client. 2) More interestingly, I have Pulseaudio set to SSH tunnel, for the random time where I want audio playing over from my VM. Depending on the phase of the moon, I will hear the first tenth of a second of the KDE startup music, then nothing. Same with a song played in Amarok. Looking into the audio settings, the remote Pulseaudio server seems to drop off the valid devices list. I imagine Pulseaudio has lost the connection with the remote server on the Windows client. I don't know if it's a tunneling issue or not. Obviously everything works perfectly fine if there are no firewalls involved (e.g. I have my laptop at home, accessing the home VM locally). Any ideas, or pointers on what to debug where to provide more info? Thanks! --Scott

A couple odds and ends questions
by senrabdet＠aol.com 26 Mar '12

26 Mar '12

Hi All: A couple of odds and ends questions about which we're hoping to get some help/clarification: 1) Stored Session Data x2go seems to store a fair amount of session data on both the server and the client in the .x2go folder on both. While these are not large folders, is there a concern that they will mount up over time? Are they limited to a specific number of folders and don't grow beyond that? Is this a "not to worry" sort of thing? 2) Restart Client Session from the Server Is it possible to kill and/or restart a specific client session from the server, presumably from the admin account on the server (we understand that this can be done from the client side)? 3) Force Use of Passwords Is there a way in x2go to force use of log in passwords? We're not sure this is a good idea (or maybe one that has some pluses and some minuses), but can it be accomplished? The only way we've found so far is to encrypt the users /home directory, cancel when the connection fails, and then connect when presented with the x2go screen (usually shown after you log out) that allows us to enter a password. Thanks! Ted

Setting Number of Allowed Connections Per User Account
by senrabdet＠aol.com 26 Mar '12

26 Mar '12

Hi All: We're hoping to set and enable the number of allowed connections/sessions by user and user group in x2go. E.g., we want to limit a user to one session/connection/display at a time: that means from client machine A, if the user A is connected, a connection to his/her account could not be established from client machine B or a second connection couldn't be established from client Machine A. User A, if s/he had second account on the server, however, could start one and only one connection to that second account while running one and only one session to the first account. We think we've seen some posts to this effect involving editing /etc/x2go/x2goserver.conf and /usr/bin/x2gosessionlimit (see http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.terminal-server.x2go.devel/954) We've tried making some of the following types of edits: A) If we edit x2goserver.conf alone, and set either "UserA=1 and/or "UserGroupA=1", we can make multiple connections. When we start another instance of x2go, it shows there is a current session, and when we select "New" in the GUI, a second concurrent session begins. B) If we edit /usr/bin/x2gosessionlimit, and make the following changes and then do a "service x2goserver restart" (not sure if this restart is appropriate or necessary)... Add these lines: if($strlimit <= $scount) { print "LIMIT\n"; exit 0; } Comment out these lines: if($maxlimit <= $scount) { print "$maxlimit\n"; exit 0; } print "$maxlimit\n"; ....and change settings in x2goserver.conf, we got some inconstant results we haven't been able to duplicate, but were along the lines either of a "session limit being exceeded" message even if we had group and/or user limits set to 1 (i.e., we were unable to connect at all), or back to any number of sessions we wanted to start. Can someone suggest a procedure/example of how to do this successfully? Ideally, we'd like the flexibility to limit # of connections/sessions both by user group and individual user. Thanks, Ted

Flash Problems
by senrabdet＠aol.com 26 Mar '12

26 Mar '12

Hi All: We're having trouble using Flash with x2go on an Ubuntu Server (10.4 - 64bit). What is puzzling is Flash used to work pretty well (still a bit of skipped frames but better than RDP) and we can't figure out why it no longer does. As a test, we built out a new server instance and got the same results. X2go connects just fine, and we can start firefox and surf, but as soon as we go to YouTube the videos start then pretty much freeze up and show a new frame very infrequently. I.e., pretty much unusable. We've seen a couple of posts on the x2go but have missed a solution (apologize if it's there and we just missed it). We've tried various install approaches (from the command line, from "Software Center") but none fix the issue. Any suggestions? Have others had this problem and come on to a solution? Should we try 32bit flash even though we are using a 64bit server instance? Thank you - Ted

X2Go client - multiple sessions?
by scain＠exgenesis.com 22 Mar '12

22 Mar '12

I'm using the X2Go client build 3.99.1.1 on a Windows 7 x64 system. I can connect to individual servers just fine but when I try to run simultaneous client sessions the first session stops receiving data and eventually disconnects. Is this a known limitation of the x2go client? Is there some trick to getting multiple sessions working correctly? Regards, Shelby Cain

thinclient image and automounting usb-devices
by Stefan 20 Mar '12

20 Mar '12

Hi all, we plan to set up an x2go-server in a school, where people should have access to with laptops throught wlan. The laptops will have dual-boot systems an one of them should be a minimal setup with x2goclient (thinclient-image) and wlan access. It would be nice doing usb-automounting in the image - like the ltsp-thinclient environment does. They should behave thin-client like - only that they can't boot through pxe because of wlan. (For the desktops we still use ltsp - because of features like local apps and automounging ...) So users should not have to open a desktop-environment, starting x2goclient and mount local devices manualy. Are there any common approaches? Is automounting working in the tce of x2go? Thanks for your ideas. stefan

x2go + chroot
by BUGHUNTER 19 Mar '12

19 Mar '12

Hi, I need instructions for how to setup a chroot environment on the server - I found this old discussion: http://www.mail-archive.com/x2go-dev@lists.berlios.de/msg01268.html but there is no solution, unfortunately. Also, I found http://www.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:components:tce but this seems to be a tool for setting up chroot on the CLIENT side? Seems to be a different use case. What I want: I would like to chroot users that logged into the server via x2go client to see only files in their home directory (or inside their "jail") - what is the recommended + most efficient way of doing this with the least administrative overhead? - mind the updates! - so recompiling jail binaries after every update of relevant software should happen automatically, most preferable solution would be: apt-get install x2go-server-chroot x2go-create-chroot /home/user without any needed (or minimal) additional interaction after future updates so that your jail is always uptodate after an apt-get update. does this exist? if not, how to create it? THANK you very much for your attention, Bughunter BTW search for x2go +chroot with Google to see how small the internet can be ;)

Help with shared folder with postgres backend
by Helmer Teles 19 Mar '12

19 Mar '12

Hello, ML Hello Michael. I,ve been strugling with a problem with shared folders under x2go. When there's a problem with a shared folder not unmounting with the postgres backend you can not mount the share anymore. Steps to reproduce. Logon to a x2goserver with a shared folderon the client, next go to that shared folder ( cd ~/media/disk ) and while you are at that folder at the unix server logout from the x2go session. After you logout from x2go the process to ummount will fail because the resource is mounted. After that you can not mount the share anymore because the mountpoint is not removed from the x2go_session mounts table. regards, -- Helmer Teles eM@il : helmer[DOT]teles[at] Google Mail Web Page: http://hteles.wordpress.com

Hello X2go Team, we have now changed 10 our working places with the actuell X2go Thin Client Version in a PXE Boot System. The workers all use Kubuntu 11.10 on the desktop, an they are very happy with the system. They work with Full HD Displays and the Thin Client is a "FOXCONN NT-A3500 Netbox Fusion E350 4GB RAM". This systems runs very smooth for a thinclient. So I only want to thank you for the great system ;-) Mirco

Error: Aborting session with 'Unable to open display

Hi all, I try to connect to a x2goserver (to which from other computers with x2goclient I can easily connect) from inside a Debian-Squeeze-Installation with fluxbox and x2goclient. x2goclient: 3.99.1.1-0~x2go1+squeeze~main~194~build1 x2goserver: 3.1.0.1-0~x2go1+squeeze~main~487~build1 After starting a Session the following errors occur, and no connection can be reached.

Connection to local host
by Timo 18 Mar '12

Hi all, Wiki said that you can't make a connection into local host (x2goclient and server in the same machine). I tried it and it worked without a hitch. Is it that the Wiki comment have got old or am I going to face some weird issues? -- Timo

New X2Go user (missing privileges)
by Timo 16 Mar '12

16 Mar '12

Hi all, FreeNX seems not to be anymore supported for newer systems (e.g. Oneiric) so I was very glad that I found this X2Go. Thanks for good work! I got it running after I learned what to put into the session type and edited Wiki with my observation (http://www.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:components:x2goclient) There is a couple of small hitches though: The first is a small one; update, audio volume and network applets render a little badly (Mint 12 gnome classic fallback session). The second is a little more critical; I don't have administration privileges in remote session. For example in Applications->Systems Tools->System Settings->User Accounts there is an Unlock button but it is disabled. So I can't use that tool to manage user accounts remotely. I don't know where to start to look at this problem. -- Timo

Client side mass storage mounting support
by Emanuele Rocca 16 Mar '12

16 Mar '12

Hi, I'm currently testing a simple x2go setup: both client and server are running Ubuntu Oneiric, with the packages taken from http://ppa.launchpad.net/x2go/stable/ubuntu/. One of the features listed in the packages description is: - client side mass storage mounting support However, I haven't found any instruction explaining how to enable this. Is pendrive mounting support supposed to work out of the box? When I try to plug in a USB stick it gets mounted on the client machine and nothing happens in the x2go session. Any hint? The following packages are installed on the server: ii cups-x2go 3.0.0.3-0~54~oneiric1 ii x2goagent 2:3.5.0.11-0~220~oneiric1 ii x2gognomebindings 2.0.1.4-0~53~oneiric1 ii x2goserver 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 ii x2goserver-compat 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 ii x2goserver-extensions 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 ii x2goserver-fmbindings 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 ii x2goserver-printing 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 ii x2goserver-pyhoca 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 ii x2goserver-xsession .1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 And the following packages are installed on the client: ii cups-x2go 3.0.0.3-0~54~oneiric1 ii python-x2go 0.1.1.9-0-0~612~oneiric1 ii x2goagent 2:3.5.0.11-0~220~oneiric1 ii x2goclient 3.99.0.6-0~144~oneiric1 ii x2gognomebindings 2.0.1.4-0~53~oneiric1 ii x2goserver 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 ii x2goserver-compat 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 ii x2goserver-extensions 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 ii x2goserver-fmbindings 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 ii x2goserver-printing 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 ii x2goserver-pyhoca 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 ii x2goserver-xsession 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 Thanks, Emanuele

Re: [X2Go-User] x2go + chroot
by BUGHUNTER 16 Mar '12

Hello, > I think you should try looking at the documentation for SSH, since > that's the service that authenticates users. If i remember right, > theres an option specifically for limiting users to their home > directory only. Thank you very much for your hint, you are probably thinking about ChrootDirectory here. SSH is only one piece of the puzzle and we need to know how x2go behaves in a chroot, but even before that how to install x2go correctly into a chroot. Are there static builds of the x2go-server available? Also it might be possible that x2gpo-server itself offers any ind of chroot feature or at least supports it in one or the other way. Thanks! Have a nice day, Bughunter

Using Encrypted Home & Passwords
by senrabdet＠aol.com 14 Mar '12

14 Mar '12

Hi All: We're experimenting with a couple of things: 1) Using x2go Encrypted Home partitions. 2) Requiring use of a log in password in addition to SSH keys. Q: 1) There seems to be some merit in requiring a login password in addition to an ssh key. While it is nice to be able to connect without a password, if a windows laptop is compromised or stolen (and we realize nothing is foolproof), can't someone steal the key have have full access to a user's account? Requiring the user to enter a password at login seems to start to address this. What do people think? Would this be an enhanced, "yes that makes" sense sort of approach? Other, better approaches (would prefer not to require fobs or physical key devices). 2) We haven't been able by changing settings is sshd_config to force a password request - is that something we'd do in creating the ssh keys? We are using Ubuntu Server 10.4 and have seen some things on Google searches that suggest OpenSSH actually doesn't allow you to force the use of a password.... 3) If we encrypted the home partition, the x2go connection fails but then we can connect by entering the login password. We can get around this by creating a link to a folder outside of the encrypted partition with the authorized_key, but are know starting to think maybe we want to require the password for login. Is there a way to go right to the x2go "Loginin" screen (the one you get is you show enter a path to ssh keys) so when a user starts the Windows Client, they see that screen to enter a log in password? Thanks, Ted

Composite extension
by Ralph Sikau 09 Mar '12

09 Mar '12

Hi, we connect to a gnome session on a x2go host. This gnome session has cairo-dock installed which unfortunately cannot make use of the composite function included in metacity for real transparency. When I start xcompmgr it says "no composite extension". The x2go windows client uses vcxsrv which is supposed to be even opengl capable. Where is the handicap here? Best, Ralph

NX lib path issue prevents Xubuntu 11.10 sessions from starting
by Benjamin Shadwick 09 Mar '12

09 Mar '12

I'm using Xubuntu 11.10 and can no longer login after upgrading to a recent stable version of x2goserver. I tried changing my session to open a Terminal instead of starting an X session, then tried to start the X session from the Terminal prompt, and got the following error message: xscreensaver: error while loading shared libraries: libNX_Xext.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory xfce4-session: error while loading shared libraries: libNX_Xext.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory My LD_LIBRARY_PATH was set to just /usr/lib/nx/X11/Xinerama but libNX_Xext.so.6 was in /usr/lib/nx/X11 I added /usr/lib/nx/X11 to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and that seemed to get things working again. Since I am already using a script to set some environment variables in order to get a Xubuntu desktop instead of a plain XFCE one, I just added the LD_LIBRARY_PATH fix to that for now.

thinclient image and automounting usb-devices
by brian mullan 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

Stefan If you can configure your thin-client to boot off of USB ... 1. create a 1 or 2 GB USB stick configured to auto-boot into linux and some locked down user account 2. create the network configuration setup the thin-client will use 3. start x2goclient 4. create a new "session" 5. pre-configure the USB x2goclient with 1 Session, your various 'settings/preferences' like desktop-type, local printing, connection speed etc 6. don't enter any user ID into the USB x2goclient 7. exit the x2go client 8. configure x2goclient to be auto-run at boot 9. pre-configure the USB Linux wireless/ethernet info Shutdown the USB linux and the USB should contain a template you can make copies of. Hand out USB's to students at Registration or leave in the Thin-Clients. I've talked to some USB manufacturers and if you buy in bulk they will even pre-copy/load your USBs for you and in most cases, imprint the USB with a school mascot/banner etc. They above becomes sort of like an x2go client kiosk setup. When the thin-clients boots and network is established the x2go login screen should be presented and they will be able to log into your x2goserver and get a desktop. I've done this and its quite easy. One other benefit is that if the x2goserver at the school is setup right to provide a public IP (with security) the students could take the USB Sticks home and if they have Internet at home and a PC/laptop/netbook etc that can boot from USB then... the student can boot off their USB stick, login to their school x2go server and continue with their desktop & school work as if they'd never left the school. First question is "what if the kid loses the USB"... - anyone finding it would still not have the user ID and password to gain access to the school's x2goserver and the student's desktop. - also, since 1-2 GB USBs are so cheap now they can just be a "throw-away" expense. - Security, you can encrypt the USB, there's no user information or documents etc. ever stored on the USB itself, etc. Just an idea. by the way for 1GB USB's they are now about $2.95 each with Free Logo, 100 Piece Minimum.

The laptops will have dual-boot systems an one of them should be a minimal setup with x2goclient (thinclient-image) and wlan access. It would be nice doing usb-automounting in the image - like the ltsp-thinclient environment does. They should behave thin-client like - only that they can't boot through pxe because of wlan. (For the desktops we still use ltsp - because of features like local apps and automounging ...) So users should not have to open a desktop-environment, starting x2goclient and mount local devices manualy. Are there any common approaches? Is automounting working in the tce of x2go? Thanks for your ideas. stefan

cups-x2go problem printing multiple copies from windows terminal server. Fix inside ( i guess )
by Helmer Teles 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

Hello, ML. I've found a bug when i try to print multiple copies from a Windows Terminal Server to x2go-printer if the document has only one page, it only prints one copy. Strangely this does not happen if the document has more than one page. How to reproduce Open a x2go-session, open Freerdp to a windows terminal server, write a new Word Document with only one page. Now print the document with more than 1 copy. Steps to correct it: I've changed the line in /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-x2go to: # PS2PDF command my $ps2pdf = "/usr/bin/gs -q -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH - dSAFER -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=\"%s.pdf\" -dAutoRotatePages=/PageByPage -dAutoFilterColorImages=false -dColorImageFilter=/FlateEncode - dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -dDoNumCopies -c .setpdfwrite -f \"%s\""; FROM: # PS2PDF command my $ps2pdf = "/usr/bin/gs -q -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH - dSAFER -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=\"%s.pdf\" -dAutoRotatePages=/PageByPage -dAutoFilterColorImages=false -dColorImageFilter=/FlateEncode - dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress -c .setpdfwrite -f \"%s\""; -- Helmer Teles eM@il : helmer{DOT}teles[AT] google Email Web Page: http://hteles.wordpress.com

X2Go release day: x2goserver, nx-libs, x2goclient, x2gothinclient
by Mike Gabriel 07 Mar '12

07 Mar '12

Dear all, The X2Go Project is proud to announce a couple of new X2Go component releases: - x2goserver (3.1.0.1) - nx-libs incl. x2goagent (3.5.0.12) - x2goclient (3.99.1.1) - x2gothinclient (1.0.1.6) All 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). 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. [ Mike Gabriel ] * New upstream version (3.99.1.1): - Update copyright year in about window. Including all translations. - Power button icon: make inner part transparent.

x2go fails after Ubuntu apt-get upgrade
by Greg Rozon 07 Mar '12

07 Mar '12

I just did a package upgrade on my Ubuntu 11.10 system and my previously functional x2goserver is no longer working. When I attempt to connect to the server using x2goclient, the connection looks like it's working correctly (it begins to open the X window) but then immediately closes and displays a "Finished" status with no errors. The tail of /var/log/syslog yields little that I can see: Mar 1 15:41:12 Rozon-Desktop /usr/share/x2go/x2gofeature.d/x2goserver-extensions.features: x2goserver-extensions.features called with options: X2GO_FMBINDINGS Mar 1 15:41:12 Rozon-Desktop /usr/share/x2go/x2gofeature.d/x2goserver.features: x2goserver.features called with options: X2GO_FMBINDINGS Mar 1 15:41:12 Rozon-Desktop /usr/share/x2go/x2gofeature.d/x2goserver-gnomebindings.features: x2goserver-gnomebindings.features called with options: X2GO_FMBINDINGS Mar 1 15:41:12 Rozon-Desktop /usr/bin/x2gocmdexitmessage: x2gocmdexitmessage called with options: grozon-50-1330634466_stDgnome-session-fallback_dp32 Mar 1 15:41:12 Rozon-Desktop /usr/bin/x2gocmdexitmessage: command output starts with: Mar 1 15:41:12 Rozon-Desktop /usr/bin/x2goumount-session[10751]: db_deletemount called, session ID: grozon-50-1330634466_stDgnome-session-fallback_dp32, path: /tmp/spool_grozon/grozon-50-1330634466_stDgnome-session-fallback_dp32 Mar 1 15:41:13 Rozon-Desktop /usr/lib/x2go/x2golistsessions_sql[10833]: Purging finished session from X2Go db, session ID: grozon-50-1330634466_stDgnome-session-fallback_dp32 Mar 1 15:41:13 Rozon-Desktop /usr/bin/x2goumount-session[10851]: x2goumount-session has been called with options: grozon-50-1330634466_stDgnome-session-fallback_dp32 Mar 1 15:41:13 Rozon-Desktop /usr/bin/x2goumount-session[10851]: db_getdisplay called, session ID: grozon-50-1330634466_stDgnome-session-fallback_dp32; return value: Mar 1 15:41:13 Rozon-Desktop /usr/bin/x2goumount-session[10851]: db_getmounts called, session ID: grozon-50-1330634466_stDgnome-session-fallback_dp32; return value: Then nothing.

Problem with X2GO session
by Piotr Mozdzynski 05 Mar '12

05 Mar '12

Hello. I am new to this list , sorry for starting from issues.. we are facing problems with X2go , it crashes X2GO session when we open the Office 2007 "quick access button" This does not occur on direct sessions , only when connected via X2GO. We found this article : http://www.codeweavers.com/support/tickets/browse/?ticket_id=845080; We disabled the registry in Wine , this helped and Office2007 is not crashing , but the buttons are missing and we cannot see hi-lighted text in MS-Word/Excel , several things are missing. Only what I can attach here is a line from syslog (X2go Server) : kernel: [84085.656572] x2goagent[16641]: segfault at 7f0b9dd61ff4 ip 00000000004d3650 sp 00007fff09b8aff8 error 4 in nxagent[400000+4fa000] Anyone had simmilar problems ? I remember before X2go was also crashing on some applications , but after few updates it doesn't anymore. Could not find anything more , any help to resolve this much appreciated. regards Piotr

Changing X2Go SSH configuration
by Ivan Hernandez 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

Hi list, I have been working with x2go to replace my old freenx/PXE Setup. As I use low end thinclients the cpu used for encryption is not that much powerful so I compiled hpn-ssh and made it work with the none cipher. On tests with scp it made a big difference making a file tranfer to go from 58%cpu and 8.5Mb/sec to 33%cpu and 11.6Mb/sec. So now I have to find a way to tell x2go client to use that ssh client instead of the default one, and with my options. But instead I see fixed options that I can't change like: ssh -x -a -oClearAllForwardings=yes -oServerAliveInterval=300 -oCipher=blowfish So... how can I change that?? Thanks in advance Ivan

Call logout script
by senrabdet＠aol.com 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

Hi All: Is there a way to call a logout script (i.e., one that is specific to each user upon ending a session)? In Ubuntu Server 10.4 we've tried various things including .bash_logout and /etc/gdm/PostSession/Default either performing a command or calling .bash_logout. The "/etc/gdm/PostSession/Default" works if we log in directly, so assume this has something to do with xsession(?) and hope there is a way in an x2go session where when the user logs out, a script gets called in the background. Thanks!

x2gothinclient w/o pxe
by Jonathan Brown 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

Hi all, A cursory reading of the online lit I found relating to x2gothinclient seems to require that the stations all pxeboot... I don't want thinclients that pxeboot.. what I need is a minimal OS that is setup to autologin to X and then pyhoca-cli to the x2go-server... can the x2gothinclient packages do this say on a minimal debian install for the thinclient.. ? Since I did not see this capability, I already built from scratch a minimal Debian 6 that does an autologin into X using gdm/matchbox wm, and then created a script that force loops a username/pw graphical dialog using yad (zenity fork)... suffice it to say this works well... but I'm thinking if x2gothinclient already had the capability to do this then I did it all for nought.. except it was definitely a good exercise... The steps and scripts that I did do make this pxe-less x2g0 thin-client/kiosk follow ... I'm sure this can be quite improved... actually the main thing I'd like to improve is to have the matchbox wm/X on the local thin client be aware when there is no activity in the x2go session, and if no activity, then kill or suspend the pyhoca-cli session, thus going back to the yad login prompt, but I haven't found a way to do this (normal logout of the x2go session of course works fine and brings you back to the yad login prompt)... I think the problem is that matchbox wm/X always thinks there is activity when the x2go session is logged in/active, even when there is no activity in the x2go session itself... Any thoughts on any of the above would be appreciated! Steps/scripts etc for x2g0 thin-client/kiosk: OK so I pretty much used the guide from: http://www.alandmoore.com/blog/2011/11/05/creating-a-kiosk-with-linux-and-x… and went from there...

But even without that feature this works real nice as a non-pxe x2go thin-client station. Anyway this is all probably very messy and amateurish, but I am not exactly a programmer or very proficient bash scripter so.. :) Also I might be missing a few steps and if any of the above does not make sense please advise and I'll try to see if I missed something in the steps given above... Any thoughts on any of the above would be appreciated! -- *"It is only when each individual has achieved inner peace that we will see lasting outer peace in the world" *

X2Go TCE with new splash
by Mike Gabriel 23 Feb '12

23 Feb '12

Hi all, I have added a much nicer boot splash to the X2Go Thin Client Environment. I also added background support for X2Go Client withint the X2Go TCE. (X2Go Client has had the --background option for a long time already, now it is being used within the TCE by default). You have to build your thinclient chroot from scratch (x2gothinclient_create) and run x2gothinclient_preptftpd again. Backup /srv/tftp and /opt/x2gothinclient before doing this. Happy testing, Mike -- DAS-NETZWERKTEAM mike gabriel, dorfstr. 27, 24245 barmissen fon: +49 (4302) 281418, fax: +49 (4302) 281419 GnuPG Key ID 0xB588399B mail: mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de, http://das-netzwerkteam.de freeBusy: https://mail.das-netzwerkteam.de/freebusy/m.gabriel%40das-netzwerkteam.de.x…

Feature request: Import/export of session profiles
by christoffer krakou 23 Feb '12

23 Feb '12

Hello all I'm employed in a small consultancy company, primarily oriented towards privat schools and their IT needs. When we contact a school, we would like to give them a login to a hosted server via x2go, so they can have a taste of the desktop without a big commitment. Try before you buy, if you will The thing is, Schoolboard members, who decide on this, are somewhat hesitant to read through a guide on how to type in the relevant information themselves. It would be easier for them if they could import a session file that we sent along, using the GUI (i think you can already do this from command line. Not sure though) Also, being able to import and export in general just seems like a nice thing to have. How difficult would it be to implement? I have zero C++ skills myself, so sadly i can only help in the testing of this -- Venlig Hilsen / Best Regards Christoffer Krakou Fleten.net APS

X2Go release day: nx-libs, x2goserver, x2goclient, x2gognomebindings, x2golxdebindings, x2godesktopsharing
by Mike Gabriel 22 Feb '12

22 Feb '12

Dear all, The X2Go Project it proud to announce a couple of new X2Go component releases: - x2goserver (3.1.0.0) - x2goclient (3.99.1.0) - nx-libs incl. x2goagent (3.5.0.11) - x2gognomebindings (2.0.1.4) - x2golxdebindings (1.0.1.2) - x2godesktopsharing (3.0.1.4) All new packages will be available in our stable repositories (Debian, Ubuntu) within the next 24h. The windows version of x2goclient will probably be available today, as well. With X2Go Server and X2Go Client we introduce a slightly changed session handshake when resuming an already running session. Older clients will be fully compatible with newer servers (and vice versa). The fix addresses a session resume failure that occurred every once in a while (quite rare, but annoying). For the code change please refer to the commits in X2Go Git addressing this: X2Go Server... http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goserver.git;a=commitdiff;h=63556d25c3a86f1… X2Go Client... http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goclient.git;a=commitdiff;h=3f4eab56698f439… Python X2Go... (though not released today, still mentioned here) http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=python-x2go.git;a=commitdiff;h=37cbc1fa5f7787… People upgrading x2goserver and running PostgreSQL as session database backend, make sure to read the README.upgrade-pgsql-database thorougly: http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goserver.git;a=blob;f=x2goserver/doc/README… Below, you can see the corresponding changelog entries for the new releases. One aspect we are really proud of is the number of people who have contributed to this release set. Thanks to all people contributing to X2Go. light+love, Mike X2GOSERVER ========== x2goserver (3.1.0.0-0~x2go1) RELEASE; urgency=low [ Oleksandr Shneyder ] * New upstream version (3.1.0.0): - remove ports used by X2Go session from database after session was finished if postgres backend is used. - before resuming X2Go session check if reserved ports still available in other case find new free ports, save them in database and send to x2goclient - run netstat -tl --all to find free ports for graphic, sound and sshfs tunnels in x2gostartagent and x2goresume-session [ Milan Knížek ] * New upstream version (3.1.0.0): - Fix removal of desktop link on x2goumount-session if local folder of a Windows client gets unmounted. - Remove redundant -S option from x2goagent start-up command line. - Use -f $XAUTHORITY with xauth calls.

[ Jan Engelhardt ] * New upstream version (3.1.0.0): - Use /cgi-bin/man/ path in web'ified man pages. - Use ,,${MAKE}'' instead of ,,make'' in Makefile. [ Mike Gabriel ] * New upstream version (3.1.0.0): - Provide new package x2goserver-fmbindings. Derived from a package draft provided by Milan Knížek (Thanks!). - Do not create desktop icons for rootless (i.e. non-desktop) sessions. - Allow other $XAUTHORITY values than the default ($HOME/.Xauthority). - For x2gomountdirs / x2goumount-session allow other TMP paths than /tmp. Use ENV{'TMP'} instead, unless it is empty. Then use /tmp. - Place quotations where appropriate into shell scripts. - Fix call to x2goterminate-desktopsharing in x2goruncommand. - Tolerate user names containing "-" characters (SQLite DB backend). - Make sure x2gocleansessions close _all_ open file handles after forking as a daemon. - Add copyright header for x2gofm script. - Add man page for x2gogetservers script. - Add man page for x2gofm wrapper script. - Update date and release version in man pages. * Let x2goserver package suggest x2goserver-fmbindings. * Add package upgrade warning for installation using PostgreSQL.

However, the version name change requested in that patch has been rejected for NX (redistributed). * Apply patches for the Debian package as the last patches in the series. * Fix faulty patch name suffix (has to be .patch, not .diff). * Fix Xinerama support in Debian package libnx-x11 when NX gets built with patch 600_nx-X11+nxcompext+nxcompshad_unique-libnames.full.patch. Still on the todo list: fix the nx-X11 installation via Makefile. * Fine-tune symlinking of libXinerama. [ Jan Engelhardt ] * Update patch: 001_add-main-makefile.full+lite.patch, allow passing of configure args. * Add patch: 030_nx-X11_configure-args.diff. Allow passing of configure args. * Add patch: 031_nx-X11_parallel-make.diff, enable parallel make. * Add patch: 301_nx-X11_use-shared-libs.full.diff, use shared libraries from distribution rather then libs included in source tree. * Add patch: 032_nx-X11_no-x11r6-project-root. We must not overlap with any existing files, therefore, both /usr/X11R6 and /usr are excluded possibilities for ProjectRoot. Use %_libexecdir/somename, since that is still allowed by FHS. * Add patch 600_nx-X11+nxcompext+nxcompshad_unique-libnames.full.patch, use unique library names for nx-X11 based X11 libraries. -- Mike Gabriel <mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de> Wed, 22 Feb 2012 14:41:07 +0100 X2GOGNOMEBINDINGS ================= x2gognomebindings (2.0.1.4-0~x2go1) RELEASE; urgency=low * New upstream version (2.0.1.4): - Apply implicit.diff patch from Jan Engelhardt (OpenSUSE). - Add x2gofeature support (feature provided: X2GO_GNOMEBINDINGS). -- Mike Gabriel <mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de> Wed, 22 Feb 2012 14:55:40 +0100 X2GOLXDEBINDINGS ================ x2golxdebindings (1.0.1.2-0~x2go1) RELEASE; urgency=low * New upstream version (1.0.1.2): - Continue development... - Add x2gofeature support (feature provided: X2GO_LXDEBINDINGS). -- Mike Gabriel <mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de> Wed, 22 Feb 2012 14:53:41 +0100 X2GODESKTOPSHARING ================== x2godesktopsharing (3.0.1.4-0~x2go1) RELEASE; urgency=low * New upstream version (3.0.1.4): - Always use /tmp for lock and session sharing socket (Fixes user individual temp dirs in Debian Edu / Skolelinux). - Pass username of user who requests desktop sharing to x2gostartagent. * Depend on x2goserver (>=3.0.99.9). -- Mike Gabriel <mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de> Wed, 22 Feb 2012 15:00:54 +0100 -- DAS-NETZWERKTEAM mike gabriel, dorfstr. 27, 24245 barmissen fon: +49 (4302) 281418, fax: +49 (4302) 281419 GnuPG Key ID 0xB588399B mail: mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de, http://das-netzwerkteam.de freeBusy: https://mail.das-netzwerkteam.de/freebusy/m.gabriel%40das-netzwerkteam.de.x…

FW: Blank x2go client screen
by Michael McFarlane 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

Hi, I have been trying to get X2go working for over a month now without success. The last two requests for help on this list have not been answered. Do you folks recommend that I move on to another solution or continue to wait? I have used NX on Fedora and was very pleased, so I would like to stick with an NX protocol. I am now on Ubuntu and NX is no longer active while X2go is (active doesn't mean much though if it doesn't work). Recommendations?

I thought it knew from your login profile which DE you used. Did you mean XFCE? [Michael] Sorry, XFCE yes I still use the 3.01-13 client, since all the newer ones have various problems. But even with those problems, I can still connect with the newer versions. I just tested 3.99.0.4, and I could connect (but it still have problems, most notably it freezes when trying to play most youtube videos). Anyway, I use XFCE, and I choose "Custom" in the client, and give it the command "/usr/bin/startxfce4" and it gives me almost the same startup messages as you posted, but it does connect and allow me to use the desktop normally (except all the clients have a bug where it sets the Windows window size too small when you choose a custom resolution, say 800x600, the windows client sets the outer dimensions of the window to 800x600 but of course the windows title bar takes up 25-30 pixels, so the window ends up being too small to display an 800x600 desktop). [Michael] Tried that, no change I wonder why the client does not have XFCE as an option. [Michael] That would be nice

updated x2go on my ubuntu 11.10 system and it now fails
by brian mullan 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

Mike PyHoca was also updated and now it won't load and gives me a message: *pyhoca-gui[9111] (PyHoca-GUI) WARN: the current release of PyHoca-GUI does not support client configuration * It did work before I updated this week. To update I used the Ubuntu repository info from the x2go-wiki: http://wiki.x2go.org/wiki:x2go-repository-ubuntu $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:x2go/stable $ sudo apt-get update The x2goclient version is *3.99.0.6-0-144-oneiric* As I'd mentioned my laptop hasn't been updated and it still connects fine with both x2goclient & pyhoca to the same server AND on my desktop which was updated I CAN successfully connect to the server using just SSH. I tried to find some troubleshooting guide on the wiki that would at least point to where log files might be but couldn't find anything. If there are some troubleshooting steps posted somewhere for x2go I'll use them to see if I can figure out what's going on. thanks. I have seen doing google searches that there are several posts in the past of people using x2go that are posting the same error message. Never saw anyone post an answer to those inquiries suggesting how or if they fixed it. Here are some of the other people that have posted the same error message with their x2go (although not all are ubuntu based) From the dates on these posts though I don't think they were using the same version of x2go ?? http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.terminal-server.x2go.user/301 I have already tried the same steps Paul van der Vlis tried in the above post dated in November 2011. - purging x2goclient from system & reinstalling - tried connecting to a different x2goserver and it did not succeed (whereas Paul's did) I *can* reach both of my x2go servers with ssh from this client and I can reach BOTH of them from my laptop with the older x2goclient and pyhoca. Here is another post of the same error. https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/x2go-user/2011-September/000364.html thanks for any info or hints to troubleshoot this! I'll cc Paul on this to see if he ever uncovered the cause as his post was a couple months ago. Brian

x2goclient (thinclient) crashing
by Jean Gottschalk 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

Hello, I use the x2gothinclients and have the following problem: every so often (and more often since the latest update) when trying to resume a session, I get an error message "The remote proxy closed the connection while negotiating the session. This may be due to the wrong authentication credentials passed to the server". If I close the message box, I get a black screen, with the shutdown icon in the upper left corner. At that point, the x2goclient process has died. The only way to continue is to switch to a different screen (CTRL+ALT+F1) and restart x2gothinclient. I can try logging in several time and will get this problem several times in a row. Then after a while, it will work. Of course I am completely sure that the credentials were correct. Which logs should I be looking at to troubleshoot this server? I couldn't find any logs on the client machine (maybe I'm not looking in the right place). Jean

Usernames with dashes causes errors?
by christoffer krakou 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

Hello x2go people :) i have a server running Ubuntu 11.10 with an x2goserver installation, version 3.0.99.10-0~434~oneiric1, and it is running well and stable. We had some strange problems, though. We contacted a school, who would help us test the server under daily use, and made some test users for them, called "test-*their name*". When they, and i, tried to log into those users, the client would freeze, no error message or anything. On the server, the x2goagent would run amok, soaking up CPU power. The problem seems to occur only on users with dashes in their names. Can anyone replicate this? it is quite strange -- Venlig Hilsen / Best Regards Christoffer Krakou Fleten.net APS

Everyone knows how fast and how much x2go has been changing in regards to features, capabilities, etc. Like most projects Documentation is hard to keep up with but to keep growing the x2go Community as fast in the future as it has in the past year or so I'd like to suggest the date for a week of focused x2go Wiki updating/cleanup. For success - it would take the commitment of both the x2go Community & the Core-Devs and some planning. By that I mean try to come up with ways to impact the core-dev team the least but maximize their knowledge of x2go config, install, operation & troubleshooting so the Community people can do the actual editing of the Wiki. Ideas: - identify & input any missing information - all the FIX ME place-holders should be addressed - incorrect or out of date information should be updated or removed - add any new information that just hasn't found time to be posted yet I think this is a good idea and I would be willing to help out, but for people like me to able to help out I guess I would need a list of subjects in advance, that way I could research my allocated subjects first. I'm fairly new to X2Go; my experience is with FreeNX so I need to learn X2Go better before writing anything :-) I'll see if I can find some time to identify some subjects that either needs updating or new documentation, but where should I place this list? Could you start a wiki page Brian, where we could collaborate on the subjects? Regards, Terje

If it fails, send me your Jabber ID directly and I will invite you. My sugesstion is that we gather in this chat room and then find an appointment that works for all when we coordinate the wiki sprint.

Suggestion - x2go Community & Core-Dev's should set a date for a Week of Wiki updating/cleanup
by brian mullan 19 Feb '12

19 Feb '12

I wanted to make a suggestion to the x2go Community. Everyone knows how fast and how much x2go has been changing in regards to features, capabilities, etc. Like most projects Documentation is hard to keep up with but to keep growing the x2go Community as fast in the future as it has in the past year or so I'd like to suggest the date for a week of focused x2go Wiki updating/cleanup. For success - it would take the commitment of both the x2go Community & the Core-Devs and some planning. By that I mean try to come up with ways to impact the core-dev team the least but maximize their knowledge of x2go config, install, operation & troubleshooting so the Community people can do the actual editing of the Wiki. Ideas: - identify & input any missing information - all the FIX ME place-holders should be addressed - incorrect or out of date information should be updated or removed - add any new information that just hasn't found time to be posted yet
