translating X2Go
by Mike Gabriel 19 Feb '12

19 Feb '12

Hi all, over the weekend Daniel Lindgren and Terje Andersen have added Swedish and Norwegian translations to X2Go Client and Pyhoca-GUI. We have set up a wiki page together that explains how translating X2Go works: http://wiki.x2go.org/wiki:development:i18n The translators communicate on: x2go-i18n(a)lists.berlios.de We currently need help with any language apart from: German Bokmal (Norway) Swedish The following language we have translators for, but the teams could grow here: Dutch Russian Spanish (currently only for PyHoca-GUI) Apart from the named language no other languages are supported within X2Go components. If you are shy with coding but speak a language that is not on the list here (or that is on the bottom list), then do not hesitate to support the i18n team of X2Go. Join the list... http://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/x2go-i18n ... and start translating X2Go into your regional language!!! Welcome everyone!

Problem with X2Go and VMWare Tools
by Daniel Lindgren 18 Feb '12

18 Feb '12

Hi. I've been troubleshooting a weird problem with X2Go for a while, when connecting to Gnome sessions in virtual machines the top and bottom panels are displayed but the desktop/background never shows up and the mouse pointer never stops spinning. It's like the Gnome session startup reaches 99% and then just waits forever for something. It turns out it's related to VMWare Tools. I use VMWare Hypervisor (ESXi) 5, I can't say if the problem started when I upgraded from ESXi 4 to 5, but it's fairly recent. I discovered that there are two instances of vmtoolsd running, the process list looks something like this when the X2Go session reaches "wait forever" state: root@labblinux:~# ps auxw | grep vmware dali 12906 1.4 1.4 174604 14588 ? S 18:47 0:00 /usr/lib/vmware-tools/sbin64/vmtoolsd -n vmusr dali 12956 1.4 0.3 174604 3680 ? S 18:47 0:00 /usr/lib/vmware-tools/sbin64/vmtoolsd -n vmusr root 12971 0.0 0.0 7556 860 pts/0 S+ 18:47 0:00 grep vmware If I "kill -1 12906" the other vmtoolsd (12956) dies(!): root@labblinux:~# kill -1 12906 root@labblinux:~# ps auxw | grep vmware dali 12906 0.4 1.4 174604 14616 ? S 18:47 0:00 /usr/lib/vmware-tools/sbin64/vmtoolsd -n vmusr root 13041 0.0 0.0 7556 860 pts/0 S+ 18:48 0:00 grep vmware Simultaneously the X2Go/Gnome session startup successfully finishes. Starting a Gnome session locally on the virtual machine console successfully finishes. I've tried using xrdp instead of X2Go and had no problems starting sessions, both using X11rdp and X11vnc on the server side. There's only one vmtoolsd running unless it's a X2Go session. I've unsuccessfully tried to figure out what the root cause is. It seems related to X2Go login/startup, somehow vmtoolsd starts twice and there's a conflict blocking Gnome startup. I did however find a workaround; uninstall VMWare Tools and install the open-vm-tools package from the Debian repository (contrib has to be added). No problems with X2Go so far and VMWare seems happy with the open source tools (Shutdown/Restart Guest is available in vSphere Client). I posted this to both x2go-user and x2go-dev for informational purposes. Maybe a wiki page would be the best place for this info? The wiki is however in a sad state and needs some serious cleanup. I personally don't think the template used is aesthetically pleasing and would prefer the default template or Arctic template which I've used extensively in all my DokuWiki installs. Cheers, Daniel

x2goagent listening on public interface - how to make it listen on 127.0.0.1 only?
by BUGHUNTER 18 Feb '12

18 Feb '12

Hi, I am testing x2go - looks like a very good alterative to other solutions! However, I see that (only) when I am logged in via x2goclient I have an x2goagent process listening on all network interfaces on port 6050 - I would feel better if this software did only listen on 127.0.0.1, if this is technically possible. I did not found any hint on a "listen 127.0.0.1" configuration item and where to put it, if existing - how can I make x2goagent NOT listen on a public network interface? Thanks for your attention, Bughunter

Re: [X2go-User] updated x2go on my ubuntu 11.10 system and it now fails - workaround
by brian mullan 18 Feb '12

18 Feb '12

I haven't been able to figure out why my updated x2go is failing to allow ssh login and start of my x2go session. But I have figured out a workaround but it makes the question of what the real problem is even stranger ? *The workaround was to setup SSH Login Without Password Using ssh-keygen & ssh-copy-id* For those that haven't done it before an easy/simple explanation of what you have to do is found here: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2008/11/3-steps-to-perform-ssh-login-without-pa… for Ubuntu the instructions are here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys After doing this from your "client" system start the x2goclient and: 1. create a new session 2. select "*session preferences*" from the drop-down menu on your "new session" launcher icon 3. check mark "*Try auto login (ssh-agent or default ssh key)*" option 4. enter your Host address/dns name 5. enter your login name 6. click OK to save 7. Click on the session Launcher ICON and now it should just autoconnect to your remote server with ssh and start your x2go session successfully Now as to why the new x2goclient was failing and giving that message before when the only difference is whether or not auto-login was used or x2go's ssh key exchange ... I don't know. The only thing I can think of is that there was some kind of "key" mismatch between the server and the client before *which when I setup auto-login would have been bypassed because the auto-login setup transfers a new RSA key to make sure they match between machines. * Anyway setting up auto-login now lets x2goclient start the session successfully !! <g> Brian ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Paul van der Vlis <paul(a)vandervlis.nl> To: brian mullan <bmullan.mail(a)gmail.com> Cc: x2go-user(a)lists.berlios.de Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2012 14:37:26 +0100 Subject: Re: [X2go-User] updated x2go on my ubuntu 11.10 system and it now fails Op 17-02-12 13:51, brian mullan schreef: > 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.

updated x2go on my ubuntu 11.10 system and it now fails
by brian mullan 17 Feb '12

17 Feb '12

Had an older version of x2go working. Updated x2go client on my home PC Using Ubuntu 11.10 64bit for x2goserver Installed x2goserver as usual >From my client (also Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit)... I try to connect and get the message about accepting a server connection not seen before and I answer - yes. I then get the x2goclient window to provide my password and I do so. It comes back immediately with this message? *Access denied. Authentication that can continue: publickey,keyboard-interactive* I've not seen that before but anyone got an idea what's causing it? sshd_config on the server is configured to allow password logins AND if I use SSH I can connect from my local machine to the remote server OK. So its not an SSH problem. I then tried my work laptop which still has the older version of x2go and it DOES connect ok. Something is broken now on my home PC. I purged the x2goclient from my home machine just in case but I still have the same problem. If anyone has any suggestions as to how to troubleshoot or a log to look at I'd appreciate any tips. thanks brian

by segalion 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

I have sucessfully install x2go on ubuntu 11.10, and x2goclient on windows... I have sucessfully connect with "custom" and gnome-session-fallback I have succesfully connect with "desktop shared" and fullcontrol and I have the following problems... 1. Mouse dont apear. This is the most anoying 2. Other resolution diferent than fullscreen fails. 3. suspend and terminate button dont works Please can anybody helpme mainly with mouse problem? Thanks... What is the tecnicallity used for desktop sharing? RFB-VNC?. I cant see any x11vnc session as freenx do... NOTE. x2goclient doesnt support http proxy connections so I had to make a sshtunnel with putty, and then a x2go session inside (with 2 level of tunnelling ), Could be great to have proxy connection support as nomachine client.... Thanks a lot for this great project.

X2Go client windows switching problems
by Mike 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

Hello all, Long time user of NX related programs for some time now. Mostly freenx, which has been driving me crazy lately. I am a staunch Debian user and feel that it's unlikely that freenx will ever enter main there. Hence my want to switch to X2Go. I've been following and trying to get this working for me too long now. The largest hurdle that is stopping me now is the inability to switch windows properly when using the windows X2Go client. I keep a long running session open on a remote box and prefer to keep most of my work there. The problem is that I also have a need to switch back to my local desktop often. Typically I do this with the "magic" pixel or Alt + Tab. I'm also perhaps quirky in that I want my remote session to be full screen not windowed. I do not experience this problem from a Linux laptop with X2Go or PyHoca-Gui. I can switch windows, suspend, resume, et. al. just dandy! My problem is with the M$ side of course. Starting the session is fine, even resuming one started elsewhere. When I switch back to another program though I can't get back to my session properly. Either I will see part of my desktop (KDE if it matters) and the last program I was using in windows will be covering the rest. Sometimes if I minimize that program I will get my remote session back, not often though. Typically what happens is I will get a small rectangle toward the upper left of my windows desktop. It may or may not have the minimize, restore, close widget displayed with it. When this happens the only way back to my remote session is to close the client and reconnect. This does work, far too painful to deal with. Seems that I have just been babbling here. If I can describe it some other way, post logs, config, whatever I am willing to do that. A quick kick in the right direction would be appreciated. Server logs show nothing at any debug level that I see. Any help is greatly appreciated. Mike

Sound issues in new release
by Frank Schlingmann 14 Feb '12

14 Feb '12

Dear all, I hope this is the right place for my problem as I have started with x2go only e few weeks ago and could not find many resources. I did a test two weeks ago and sound was working well. Now I made a new installation and encountered two problems compared to my last installation: - when I login remotely there is now start-sound - when I use flash (e.g. browser) I can only hear sound in the left speaker. My client is a WinXP and the server is running ubuntu 11.10 in a virtual box. In my first test (two weeks ago) I heard the start-sound when I logged in remotely. I am not quite sure about stereo but I think both channels worked also. Now I made a fresh install of x2go on the server today and faced the problems mentioned above. I made an upgrade on the client from 3.99.0.3 to 3.99.0.4 with no changes, the problems persist. Did I miss something? Any help is appreciated. Frank

Problem Using Cloned Accounts
by senrabdet＠aol.com 08 Feb '12

08 Feb '12

Hi All: We're trying to see if we can get x2go to work on cloned accounts or ones we create via bash on an Ubuntu server. FYI - we can start x2go sessions successfully if we create a new user "the normal way" (i.e., by hand using the GUI), create the SSH keys and move them between client (windows) and server. When we try, however, to create a new user account on the server "programmatically" (either brand new or cloned), we consistently get an error which happens regardless of the technique we use. As best we can tell, the cloned or programmatically created accounts function fine and as we'd expect except when we try to connect via x2go. For example, as root we create an account with "useradd - d /home/<newusername> -m --skel /etc/skel <newusername> (we've also tried to use the same command but clone an account that works with x2go, and have tried a range of other bash "create/clone" code). The connection is made, we see the black screen with "X2GO" and then the screen goes black and stays that way. Is this the same problem we've seen on some of the "black screen" posts? When we quit, we get an error message: Connection failed head: cannot open /home/<username>/.x2go/C-XXXXXXXXXXX_stDGNOME-dp32/cmdoutput' for reading: No such file or directory sed: -e expression #1, char 4: unterminated 's' command cat: >From reading the error message, it looks like somehow a "cmdoutput" file or folder is missing which we don't fine on the working account, so maybe it's written out on the fly. Is this a permissions issue? We think we are doing everything "identically" with the exception of how we are creating the account (e.g., how we create the ssh keys, copy the id_dsa.pub in authorized keys, add the new user to sshd_config, restart ssh). We've tried comparing the permissions in the two accounts, but are not sure if that is even the issue. We've checked in our user settings via the GUI and none of the users we've added --either programmatically or through the GUI--are checked in the x2go group though all are listed there and it doesn't seem to matter if we check them. When we create a new user/account "programmatically", would this cause problems with the x2go set up for that account? Any help appreciated! Ted

Using x2go with on Ubuntu Server with Encrypted Home Folders
by senrabdet＠aol.com 03 Feb '12

03 Feb '12

Hi All: We are trying to use x2go connected to a Ubuntu server "desktop user" account where we have encrypted the Home folder for that user. We can connect just fine, though we go through a couple of error screens we get to one where we can enter a password. We enter the user password and get in just fine. Q: is there a way to get directly to that log in screen and/or store the password locally so we can use the icon on the desktop feature? - There is an option/checkbox to "Try auto login (ssh-agent or default ssh key)" but we think that's not the answer. - Given that we can log in, we assume this isn't about using ssh keys with passwords, that the password in question is the user account/login one that is related to the encrypted Home folder. We searched through the user and dev archives, and apologize if this is already answered. Thanks!

[X2go-Announcement] X2Go release day: x2goserver, x2goclient, x2gothinclient, nx-libs (incl. x2goagent)
by Mike Gabriel 03 Feb '12

03 Feb '12

Dear all, The X2Go Project it proud to announce a couple of new X2Go component releases: - x2goserver (3.0.99.10) - x2goclient (3.99.0.6) - x2gothinclient (1.0.1.5) - nx-libs incl. x2goagent (3.5.0.9) 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 tomorrow, as well. For x2goserver and x2goclient these releases will be the last releases in the 3.0.99.x series (x2goserver) and 3.99.0.x series (x2goclient). Today Oleksandr Shneyder has found a conceptual bug in the X2Go session hand shake that now is already fixed in the latest development code. To denote this change in session handshake protocol, minor version numbers will be raised for the next releases of those projects: - x2goserver, next release will be 3.1.0.0 - x2goclient, next release will be 3.99.1.0 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... [patch will follow during the next 7 days for version 0.1.2.0] Below, you can see the corresponding changelog entries for the new releases. light+love, Mike X2GO SERVER =========== x2goserver (3.0.99.10-0~x2go1) RELEASE; urgency=low [ Mike Gabriel ] * New upstream version (3.0.99.10): - Replace all string ,,X2go.' with ,,X2Go''. - Use $(MAKE) -C <subdir> calls to run Makefiles in subfolders. - Disable rastering in >= KDE4.8 and Qt4.8. * x2goserver.postinst script leaves the DB file alone if a DB backend different from SQLite is configured. Thanks to Jochen Schulz for bringing this into awareness.

Review: changes and features in X2Go
by Oleksandr Shneyder 03 Feb '12

03 Feb '12

Hello X2Go users, I want to describe some changes we made in X2Go recently. == Multi display support features. == There are two new features in X2Go to support desktops with more then one physical display. 1. Run X2Go Session in "full screen" mode on one of several physical displays. With this feature you can use one of your physical monitors to display X2Go session in "full screen" mode. On this photo you can see a Windows 7 notebook with a connected VGA monitor running X2Go Session on display 2: http://www.x2go.org/_media/news:two_sess.png You can configure this feature using Session Preferences dialog in X2Go client: http://www.x2go.org/_media/news:multidisp_set.png Push "Identify all displays" button to find out the numbers of a physical displays: http://www.x2go.org/_media/news:ident_dsip.png 2. Using two or more physical displays as one large virtual display (Xinerama) The advantage of Xinerama feature is to only maximize windows to the dimensions of the active physical display. This can be very useful not only for thinclients with more then one physical displays, but also if user stretch their X2Go sessions over more then one display in "window" mode. X2Go Session running 3 maximized LibreOffice windows is stretched over 3 physical displays: http://www.x2go.org/_media/news:xinerama.png Xinerama configuration of X2Go session will be automatically updated every time when user moving or resizing his X2Go Session window. ==Verifying if port is free before resuming X2Go Session == On start of an X2Go session 3 tcp ports for ssh tunnels (graphic, sound, sshfs) are reserved. The values of these ports are stored in the X2Go session database and used by X2Go clients every time an X2Go session gets resumed. Sometimes it can happen that one of these ports is already used by another application after the session had been suspended. As result, X2Go client will be unable to resume such session or start sound or sshfs tunnel. To avoid this problem X2Go server (>= 3.1.0.0) will verify if these ports are still unused before the session will be resumed. In other case new ports will be reserved. The new port values will be updated in database and sent to the X2Go client. IMPORTANT: Older versions of X2Go client will be compatible with newest X2Go servers. If ports have changed between suspend and resume of a session, older x2goclients will try to reconnect and fail. But on the next attempt, X2Go client will retrieve the updated port values from the X2Go session database. regards, Alex -- Oleksandr Shneyder Dipl.

Connection fails when connecting windows client
by christoffer krakou 26 Jan '12

26 Jan '12

Hello X2go-people I have a Ubuntu 11.10 server running X2go. From my own ubuntu i can connect fine with the 3.0.99.04 client from the PPA archive. The server's version is 3.0.99.9. When a Windows client connects (v. 3.0.99.4) to my server, the client program seems to hang at "connecting". On the server, a process called x2gostartsession goes completely nuts and takes up all the system resources. The session is owned by the user trying to log in. What can this be caused by? -- Venlig Hilsen / Best Regards Christoffer Krakou Fleten.net APS

AD integration?
by Jonathan Brown 25 Jan '12

25 Jan '12

Hello, I have been researching various options and it seems that x2go is preferable as it is based on nx and is actively developed. I want to try it out, however just had a quick question on AD integration. I understand there is this ldap option for the client, however, what about just joining the host server to a domain using likewise or centrify, and then once confirmed that users can log in via console and ssh with AD, can we not use the x2go client to log in as AD user? Also would their be a designation such as DOMAIN\\ADusername ? Thanks! -- *"It is only when each individual has achieved inner peace that we will see lasting outer peace in the world" *

Hi All - Is anyone using the x2go plugin? We tried to get it running, have a web server set up, but the plugin links on the website seem to be "in transition". Does anyone have experience using the plugin, and have a copy (not sure that last request makes sense) we could get? Thanks!

Printing Security
by senrabdet＠aol.com 25 Jan '12

25 Jan '12

Hi All - There is a post on the new site re printing security (see below). Does anyone have experience with Possible Solution 1? We're hoping to get a few more pointers, maybe some extra documentation, some "here's how you avoid these pitfalls". Thanks! X2goServer == CUPS Server, latest implementation (as of 20110909): cups-x2go CUPS backend runs as root as root the backend launches x2goprint (without sudo!!!) x2goprint script changes owner ship of PDF file and pushes it into SSHFS share towards the X2go client. using X2go printing locally (X2go server == CUPS server) then security (sudo) is not an issue any more(?) Nope still is (not a big one, though): Using CUPS the user can easily be faked, allowing to fill someone else's quota or print at their home printer. X2goServer != CUPS Server: The Cups-server connects the x2go-Server as x2goprint-user using ssh-key auth. x2goprint-user executes sudo to change the ownership of the PDF file and pushes it into SSHFS share towards the X2go client. This script can currently be exploited. If someone becomes x2goprint he might become root. Possible solution 1 Start a local cups-server for every user Server listens on a File-socket owned by the user Add a PDF-Printer to that server (as the cups-user runs as that user, there should be no issues with file permissions) Import printers from global server + Secure solution, as no other user is involved - Every user needs an extra instance (The extra memory usage should not be too much) Possible solution 2 Write a simple C-Program 'x2goprinter' that is run as the user who wants to print unsing the s-Bit The Program writes stdin to argv[1] in the printing-directory It also checks whether the user is x2goprint or root + Can be easily adopted - x2goprint must be installed by the client - s-bit → Needs security checks

libjpeg-turbo use with X2GO
by Waldek 23 Jan '12

23 Jan '12

Hi, Anybody try to configure for example ubutu to configure x2goserver to use libjpeg-tubro ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/libjpeg-turbo/ ) instead libjpeg ? I have read that for example OpenNX client for neatx or freenx server recommend to use this because libjpeg-turbo have speed improvement than standard libjpeg and it will be use full to reduce transfer for x2go session. I don't know how to configure (or is it possible?) x2goserver on ubutu to use libjpeg-turbo Regards

Why doesn't x2go support ecdsa certificates?
by Joe Millenbach 21 Jan '12

21 Jan '12

I was attempting to use x2go for the first time and ran into the issue where I already had made an existing connection to my target machine using a current OpenSSH connection. This creates the existing default ecdsa certificate in the known_hosts file and somehow breaks x2go. I found a few posts on how to fix this at http://john.wesorick.com/2011/11/issues-installing-x2go.html and https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/x2go-user/2011-October/000448.html, but my question is why doesn't x2go support any certificate type that the underlying SSH client supports? Or why can't it just request the other type of connection and then offer to store the new key? Also I didn't see a bug section on your website so I'm not sure who best to send this to, but the related error dialog needs some clean up. The title has "Authentification" which I've never heard of before. I'd assume it should be "Authentication". And the text inside the dialog has a number of spaces missing that make it look odd. Some that should be between words, and others between words and punctuation. If I knew where to look I'd be happy to edit the source file and pass along the fixed version to someone who knew how to submit it properly. Thanks for your time, Joe

Excessive bandwidth usage
by David Friberg 17 Jan '12

17 Jan '12

Hi, I've been monitoring my bandwidth usage on a Windows client, connected to a Ubuntu x2go server. For me it's about the same as plain X forwarding (something like 10-20MB for a KDE session startup). On http://www.nomachine.com/documentation/building-components.php, they claim this should be closer to 35KB. I have my jpeg compression set to the minimum possible quality, and have selected "modem" connection. I am using the latest PPA update on server side, and the late December build on the Windows client. What am I missing? Dave Friberg phone: (402) 957-2480

how to completely remove/purge and reinstall
by Richard Strysniewicz 17 Jan '12

17 Jan '12

I have been using x2goserver on one ubuntu 10.10 machine and accessing that from two other ubuntu 10.10 machines on the same LAN using x2goclient for many months with no issues. Late last year I started having issues reconnecting to existing sessions. I would like to remove/purge and reinstall everything to see if that clears my issues. What I have done so far is as follows, need I do anything else? server: apt-get remove --purge x2goserver rm -rf ~/.x2go ps -ef | grep x2go, then kill all processes listed apt-get install x2goserver clients: apt-get remove --purge x2goclient rm -rf ~/.x2go rm -rf ~/.x2goclient ps -ef | grep x2go, then kill all processes listed apt-get install x2goclient I tried the above and I get the same reconnection issues with my new installs. I'm hoping there is something I am missing that needs to be deleted/purged/uninstalled. FWIW, my reconnection issues are a seemingly random number of the following messages before I am able to reconnect to an existing session: X2Go - 53 The connection with the remote server was shut down. Please check the state of your network connection. Error Connection failed channel_open_session failed - Writing packet: error on socket (or connection closed): Success If I try long enough (sometimes more than 10 time) the connection will eventually succeed. Thanks, Richard

NX (redistributed) -- x2goagent fully integrated into NX-libs (call for testing)
by Mike Gabriel 13 Jan '12

13 Jan '12

Hi all, recently there has been some noise about X2Go re-working its NX code base. Indeed some quite interesting things have been going on recently around NX and X2Go. During the last weeks we have completely reworked the way we build NX libraries. This has fixed a lot of instability problems people had recently (summer/autumn 2011) already. During this last week we set up the X2Go subproject ,,NX (redistributed)'' (aka nx-libs.git on http://git.x2go.org) The X2Go project's developers (esp. Mike and Reinhard, supported by Alex and Heinz) have decided to re-distribute NX sources as one big tarball that builds with GNU make and contains patches not accepted by NoMachine themselves. The building of the tarball with GNU make already works fine, the ,,make install'' still needs more work. John Williams has agreed to contribute on that (thanks for that!!!). @John: please note that I have uploaded a new tarball containing the functionality described below ;-): http://code.x2go.org/releases/source/nx-libs/nx-libs_3.5.0.5-full.tar.gz During the last days now, we have achieved something that so far has hardly been imaginable (at least to me). We have incorporated three patches into nx-libs.git that allows to turn NX's nxagent into x2goagent during runtime: 01: http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=nx-libs.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/200_nxage… 02: http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=nx-libs.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/201_nxage… 03: http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=nx-libs.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/999_nxage… X2Go's agent is now part of NX and is maintained in nx-libs.git on http://git.x2go.org. The x2goagent package from now on depends on nxagent (as they are one). The x2goagent package provides a symbolic link to nxagent, a separate x2goagent man page and a wrapper script in /usr/bin, nothing else. If nxagent is executed unter the name of x2goagent, the X2GO branding gets activated within nxagent. Also: ,,NX (redistributed)'' is fully FreeNX compliant. Install ,,NX (redistributed)'' from the X2Go package archives and add FreeNX (Ubuntu Launchpad) on top of that. FreeNX and X2Go can now again be installed parallely on the same system. Interesting for migrations or client diversity. This step also allows us to finally abandon the following source projects completely now: nxcomp.git nxcompext.git nxcompshad.git nxproxy.git x2goagent.git See also at the bottom of this page: http://code.x2go.org/gitweb As this is esp. a call-out for testing the new packages(!!!!) here are some short infos on upgrading your X2Go test servers. Packages are available for Debian squeeze, wheezy, sid and Ubuntu lucid, ..., precise. The .deb packages are already available in the X2Go nightly-built repositories: http://wiki.x2go.org/wiki:development:nightly-builds?&#nightly-builds_for_u… Please note, that x2goagent will not install when running ,,apt-get upgrade''. Either you have to run ,,apt-get dist-upgrade'' or explicitly install x2goagent with ,,apt-get install x2goagent''. light+love 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…

Terminate and resume in 1 click ?
by Jean Gottschalk 05 Jan '12

05 Jan '12

Hello and Happy New Year to everyone! I have been using X2go for a few weeks now, and it works really well. In my application, users keep a session open indefinitely, and carry it from one terminal to another. When doing this, the session is usually still open on a previous terminal, so when taking the session to a new terminal, the user has to first click the terminate button, then the resume button. Wouldn't it be more straightforward to include a terminate operation in the resume button, so that one can resume a session in one click, without clicking the terminate button first, and the client will terminate the session if necessary before resuming it? This is how NXclient works (which I used before). Is there perhaps already a way to do this by modifying a command line argument or a script somewhere? Thank you! Jean

connection issue
by Mike 04 Jan '12

04 Jan '12

Hi to Everyone Have an issue with x2go that is probably a very simple issues but its doing my head in. I have a Ubuntu server with x2go installed as the preferred method of linking up with the desktop ( from OVH). I installed the windows front end of x2go on to both my win 7 pro desk top and work's laptop using default settings. I then started a new session entering all my detail of the server in the appropriate slots and connected to the server no issue first time. Then whilst configuring my server i messed a couple of things up and decided to reinstall the OS , no issue on that front . But this is where the issue lies every time i try to connect to the server now using x2go it says "Authentication Failed: Host key for server has changed , Its is now ( and then gives the key code) for security reasons connection will be stopped" and then the whole x2go program crashes, I have deleted the session and started a new one but same issue. I have even tried to uninstall x2go , then reinstalling but when i do this i always have a session with my ip from the server already in the program ( as if it is leaving a cach somewhere of old sessions) i have been to documents and settings and deleted all hidden .pub files and x2go folders that are left after uninstall. Any body shed any light on this very simple but annoying issue I can connect to the server via putty and NXmachine no issue but x2go is been a little stubborn Regards Mike

Background image in x2goclient on tce
by Jean Gottschalk 22 Dec '11

22 Dec '11

Hello, is it possible to customize the background image of the x2goclient running on tce? I am not talking about the splash screen in grub (which users never get to see if the thin clients are on), but the background shown at the session login screen. Thank you! Jean

Automatic mounting of USB drives
by Jean Gottschalk 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

Hello, I know that it is possible to share folders from the client (such as a plugged in USB drive) with the remote session prior to logging into the session. I would like to know if there is a mechanism by which USB drives mount automatically in the remote session when plugged into the client, while the session is already up? Jean

New user unable to connect from x2goclient on thin client
by Jean Gottschalk 17 Dec '11

17 Dec '11

Hello, I have been using freenx for a few years, and have been looking for something better since freenx is no longer maintained and sound support is shaky. I was very glad to find the x2go project, specially since it works exactly like I imagine with diskless thin clients (I have to use USB sticks to boot my current clients for freenx). Anyway, after being somewhat confused by the outdated info and repositories listed on x2go.org, I found the wiki and was able to install x2goserver (onto Ubuntu ) and configure a PXE thin client environment. To my surprise, the thin clients booted on the first attempt and x2goclient came up, which was very unexpected! Now I have the following problem: - I can login without problem from a windows x2goclient onto my ubuntu x2goserver - however any attempt to login from the pxe booted thin clients fails. The client displays (after starting nxproxy 3.5) Connecting to remote host 'localhost:33001' And then Connection timeout aborting On the server I find these logs: /usr/bin/x2goagent: line 1: -e: command not found NXAGENT - Version 3.4.0 Copyright (C) 2001, 2007 NoMachine.

I understand that there is some kind of callback procedure whereby the client connects to the server, and then the server connects back to the client, and this seems to be failing. I do not know how else to proceed. In addition to version 3.99.0.2 of x2goclient and x2goplugin (which was the one installed by default in the chroot environment), I also tried version 3.99.0.3 from the unstable repository, and an older 3.01-21, all with no luck. Any pointers would be appreciated. Jean

Connection refused when using LAN
by Michael Hierweck 25 Nov '11

25 Nov '11

Hi x2go folks, when trying to access my local x2go server using connection type LAN, the connection is refused/gets lost during the startup. It works when setting the connection type is set to WAN or ADSL. The console output of x2goclient is attached. Any hints are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Authentication that can continue: publickey,keyboard-interactive" I can ssh to this server and this works. Is there any configuration file, where a could setup some settings ? Is there a configuration file ? Regards Sebastian

No login after upgrade
by Paul van der Vlis 22 Nov '11

22 Nov '11

Hello, Great that it seems to be clear now why sometimes session are lost. I've upgraded to the latest version of X2go, but after the upgrade I cannot login anymore. I've removed x2go completely with a --purge and reinstalled it again. But it's not possible to login, hmmm. In /etc/group there is no group "x2gousers" anymore. Maybe I don't know how to add a user, but I don't find documentation about how to add a user on the wiki. With regards, Paul van der Vlis. -- Paul van der Vlis Linux systeembeheer, Groningen http://www.vandervlis.nl

X2go Printing to x2goclient's printer
by Graybeal, Andy 19 Nov '11

19 Nov '11

Greetings, I'm trying to get x2go to print to the x2goclient's printer. I have Ubuntu 10.04 on my server, I'm hooked into the PPA's: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/x2go/ppa/ubuntu lucid main I've followed the instructions on the wiki: http://wiki.x2go.org/wiki:components:printing I have these installed: cups-x2go: 3.0.0.4 x2goserver: 3.0.99.8 x2goserver-extensions: 3.0.99.8 x2goserver-printing: 3.0.99.8 My cups localhost:631 page says it's version 1.4.3 I have the "Generic X2Go Printer" device installed in my print queue. I have not edited my /etc/cups/cups-x2go.conf file. I have Ubuntu 11.04 on my client machine, it has x2goclient 3.99.0.2 (Qt - 4.7.2) (hooked into the PPA's at the same place as the server but for natty - deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/x2go/ppa/ubuntu natty main) I'm wondering how do I troubleshoot printing issues? When I do print, it seems to send it looks like it sent fine from the server, but the client doesn't do anything. So far, it looks like I've had to install 'xpdf' which wasn't mentioned on the wiki.. but I don't know if this is for sure, because it didn't resolve any problems, but before this I would get an error message saying 'xpdf' was missing. Otherwise, I can print fine to the printer locally. If you need more information let me know. Thanks, Andy

Ah... I found the problem... please ignore my request! x2goclient settings -> printing tab -> select "Print" Looks like xpdf still doesn't come up but that is another concern and I will not bother the list about this.

X2Go mailing lists probably staying at BerliOS
by Mike Gabriel 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Hi all, just a short notice on our mailing list hoster BerliOS... It very much looks like it that the BerliOS OSS development portal (www.berlios.de) will be continued beyond Dec 2011. The logistical and monetary infrastructure behind the BerliOS portal is currently moved from a research project to an NGO organizational form and from my perspective the chances are rather high that in the future the X2Go mailing list hosting on the BerliOS mail server(s) can also be continued. If this turns out to be different we will let you know ASAP, currently, however, no action (mailing list migration) seems to be necessary. We'll keep you posted!!!
