x2go hang on CentOS7
by Chris C 22 Jul '16

22 Jul '16

Hi, I've used x2go on a number of systems without problem in the past, however on a CentOS7 server running SSSD to provide AD authentication I'm seeing clients (both Windows and Linux) just hang when trying to connect. Turning on debugging, it just looks to be looping through: Jul 22 08:39:21 login02 /usr/lib64/x2go/x2gogetdisplays[ db_getdisplays called, server: login02; return value: Jul 22 08:39:21 login02 /usr/lib64/x2go/x2gogetdisplays[ db_getdisplays called, server: login02; return value: Jul 22 08:39:21 login02 /usr/lib64/x2go/x2gogetdisplays[ db_getdisplays called, server: login02; return value: Jul 22 08:39:21 login02 /usr/lib64/x2go/x2gogetports[116 db_getports called, server: login02; return value: Jul 22 08:39:21 login02 /usr/lib64/x2go/x2gogetports[116 db_getports called, server: login02; return value: Jul 22 08:39:21 login02 /usr/lib64/x2go/x2gogetports[116 db_getports called, server: login02; return value: This smells of a known bug (http://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi? bug=688) which should be resolved in the version I'm using: x2goserver-4.0.1.19-6.el7.x86_64 I'm not actually trying to launch a desktop, only trying to run xterm. Am I missing something obvious here? Any ideas would be appreciated! Cheers, Chris

Fwd: [X2Go-Dev] Bug#1058: Option to force new session when suspended session is present

Forwarding to x2go-user, because this is essentially a user-related issue and depends on personal preference/workflow. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [X2Go-Dev] Bug#1058: Option to force new session when suspended session is present Resent-Date: Sat, 09 Jul 2016 07:35:02 +0000 Resent-From: Stefan Baur <x2go-ml-1(a)baur-itcs.de> Resent-To: x2go-dev(a)lists.x2go.org Resent-CC: X2Go Developers <x2go-dev(a)lists.x2go.org> Date: Sat, 9 Jul 2016 09:25:03 +0200 From: Stefan Baur <x2go-ml-1(a)baur-itcs.de> Reply-To: Stefan Baur <x2go-ml-1(a)baur-itcs.de>, 1058(a)bugs.x2go.org To: submit(a)bugs.x2go.org package: x2goclient priority: wishlist Hi, currently, when a suspended session is present and the parameters match the ones specified on the connection that is about to be established, it is silently assumed that a reconnect should take place. We are thinking how this could be changed in a way that doesn't break the current expected behavior, yet still allows forcing a new session in parallel to the suspended one. Possible options: Adding ... - a command line parameter - a per-session setting - a global setting - some hack like - right-clicking the tile - right-clicking the OK button - an option in the pull-down menu of the tile ... to enforce a parallel connection when desired. The solution we would currently prefer is: - *always* show the reconnect dialog when a suspended session is present - *if* there is exactly one matching session - preselect it - add a countdown timer to the OK button - once the countdown hits 0, pretend OK was pressed, and resume the session - any click anywhere else aborts the countdown - make 15 seconds the default value for the countdown - add a global parameter (CLI and GUI) to set it to another value (0 equals "never assume reconnect") - add command line options --always-assume-reconnect and --never-assume-reconnect (alternatively, allow -1 for the global parameter and treat that as "always assume reconnect", and forget these two command line options) Does anyone else have suggestions regarding this? We have a customer willing to pay for improvements here, but would like to channel the wisdom of the masses before implementing it. Maybe someone has an idea that would be even better?

x2goclient & SLITAZ 4.0 / 5.0
by ECF Solutions 17 Jul '16

17 Jul '16

Hello all, I don't know if someone knows SLITAZ (http://www.slitaz.org/en/) - it's an extreme small Linux OS build from scratch but with similarities to Debian / Ubuntu. It has it's own package manager but it is possible to convert .deb packages to SLITAZ-packages. I did this with - x2goclient_4.0.1.1-1~bpo7+1_i386.deb I could install this package and everything is looking fine - but: When I start a connection it is build up but than immediately closed. In the (background-) terminal I get the following messages: tux@slitaz:~$ x2goclient x2goclient: /usr/lib/libldap_r-2.4.so.2: no version information available (required by x2goclient) x2go-INFO-1> "Starting x2goclient..." x2go-INFO-4> "Übersetzung: :/x2goclient_de_de installiert." x2go-INFO-5> "Übersetzung: :/qt_de_DE installiert." x2go-INFO-3> "X2Go Client ist gestartet." x2go-INFO-8> "Verbindung mit Server wird gestartet: xxxx.xxx.xx.xxx:22" x2go-INFO-6> "X2Go Client wird geschossen..." x2go-INFO-7> "X2Go Client wurde geschlossen." tux@slitaz:~$ With success I tested the following: - enabled trusted x11 forwarding (|ForwardX11Trusted yes ForwardX11 yes)| - connect via ssh -X to the server - works - start via ssh -X e.g. gimp on the server - works To the same server I can connect via x2goclient from e.g. an Xubuntu 14.04 Laptop without any problems - so from my point of view it can't be a server issue ... Any hints please - regards Christian

x2go with SSH two-factor authentication
by Daniel Lo Nigro 17 Jul '16

17 Jul '16

Hi! My employer use two-factor authentication via Yubikey. Whenever I SSH to my development server, I use Kerberos to authenticate, and then it prompts for a Yubikey or Duo code. If I try to connect via the X2Go client, I get a message like this: Authentication failed. Check your GSSApi configuration or choose another authentication method. Checking the logs on the server, it looks like Kerberos auth is successful, but then X2Go is disconnecting once it receives the keyboard-interactive auth request. I managed to get it working using a super hacky method: I connect to my server via my regular SSH client, and forward some random port (eg. 1234) to localhost:22. Then I connect to localhost:1234 in X2Go, essentially tunneling a new SSH connection over the existing SSH connection. The server is configured to allow local connections to bypass two-factor auth, so this works around the issue in X2Go. It seems silly to tunnel SSH over SSH though. Any ideas on how to get this working properly with X2Go? It looks like Paramiko supports this configuration: https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko/pull/467 Thanks!

X2go extension questions
by Karres, Dean 17 Jul '16

17 Jul '16

Hi, I am running x2go client 4.0.5.1 on a windows machine and connecting to a RedHat rhel 6 machine using x2go from the default yum repo. I am trying to create custom extensions for our local needs but am having some issues. Documentation is rather light on this so I hope you guys can shed some light? First, in the "fail" modalities: are these critical failures? Does the X2Go session in question survive a failure state? Next, I have written very simple extension shell scripts that just write the result of the "x2golistsessions" command to syslog and have put these extensions in each of the modality dirs. I have noticed that the "pre" & "post" "start" scripts do NOT report the process ID of the active session - the is an x2go "sessionID" but not a PID. When is the PID assigned? I have done a quick search through the source but it didn't jump out at me. Lastly, as mentioned above, I most often connect to a linux box from a windows desktop. I have had occasion to have the desktop -> linux connection going and then connect from a windows laptop into the same linux machine at the same time and as the same username. The two connections seem to get merged/confused. Is this normal? Dean...K...

problem with x2goagent and Sysv5 shared memory segments
by Grigory Shamov 14 Jul '16

14 Jul '16

Hi All, We have encountered a strange problem: x2goagent on the server would eat up all the System5 shared memory segments when running a particular Java GUI application. After that any other processes doing shared memory would naturally fail. When the user connects, everything is as usual; then when Java program is opened and starts working (dataset is loaded, some graphics based on it displayed, several threads started to process the data) it quickly uses over 4K of the shared memory segments. In the output 'lsof -u user' there is about 4K lines of the sort: x2goagent 29374 auser DEL REG 0,4 402984941 /SYSV00000000 x2goagent 29374 auser DEL REG 0,4 403017710 /SYSV00000000 x2goagent 29374 auser DEL REG 0,4 403050479 /SYSV00000000 In Œipcs¹ output there is about 4K lines of this sort: ------ Shared Memory Segments -------- key shmid owner perms bytes nattch status 0x00000000 339708005 auser 600 4331520 1 dest 0x00000000 339740774 auser 600 4331520 1 dest 0x00000000 339773543 auser 600 4331520 1 dest The application is https://www.broadinstitute.org/igv/ Could you please advise, what causes this behaviour and what to do? The server¹s OS is CentOS 6, I am using X2go packages from EPEL, and the desktop the user uses is GNOME. Thank you very much in advance! -- Grigory Shamov Westgrid/ComputeCanada Site Lead University of Manitoba E2-588 EITC Building, (204) 474-9625

Problems with Clipman in Ubuntu 14.04
by ECF Solutions 12 Jul '16

12 Jul '16

Hello everyone, I have a server running Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.2.0-41-generic x86_64) with XFCE4 desktop and LTSP for my ThinClients. When logged into the server via ThinClient / LTSP the Clipman-Plugin in the XFCE panel is working as expected. When I connect to this server via x2go (same user and tried it with different users) everything is working fine (sound / usb etc.) BUT not the Clipman-plugin. It's light grey and if I copy something this is not transferred to the clipman (copy and paste works but I have no history - the benefit of the plugin ...). I tried it with parcellite as well as clipit, glipper its always the same and I absolutely need this feature ... Does somebody know this problem / has a hint? Regards Christian -- C.

X applications fail after su - on x2go connection
by webe3vt＠aim.com 11 Jul '16

11 Jul '16

When I am connected to a Debian server through x2go, my X applications work. When I su - user2 then try any X application they don't work. For example emacs will start in terminal mode and java applications give errors such as java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using ':52' as the value of the DISPLAY variable When I echo $DISPLAY before the su -, :52 is the correct display. I have several other machines that do not have this problem. How do I fix it so that X works through x2go after su -.

Client Printing not working!
by Chris Hemsing 10 Jul '16

Hi to All, this is the setup x2goserver: debian jessie 4.0.1.19-0x2go2+git20160621.106 mate session cups-x2go x2goserver-printing are both installed! The client can be debian or windows 7, both the same problem! While printing within the session to the cups-x2go printer the debugging info of the x2goserver says: Jul 4 18:01:37 DC3 /usr/bin/x2goprint[6544]: x2goprint has been called with options: hemsing hemsing-50-1467648002_stDMATE_dp32 hemsing-50-1467648002_stDMATE_dp32_7-hemsing-cupsjob6499Cu8FC4qpYbUTjMuT.pdf hemsing-50-1467648002_stDMATE_dp32_7-hemsing-cupsjob6499Cu8FC4qpYbUTjMuT.pdf.title Jul 4 18:01:37 DC3 /usr/bin/x2goprint[6544]: x2goprint is processing /var/spool/x2goprint/hemsing-50-1467648002_stDMATE_dp32_7-hemsing-cupsjob6499Cu8FC4qpYbUTjMuT.pdf with print job title ,,Test Page'' Jul 4 18:01:37 DC3 /usr/bin/x2golistmounts[6566]: db_getmounts called, session ID: hemsing-50-1467648002_stDMATE_dp32; return value: 127.0.0.1|/tmp/.x2go-hemsing/spool/C-hemsing-50-1467648002_stDMATE_dp32| Jul 4 18:01:37 DC3 /usr/bin/x2goprint[6544]: client-side spool dir is mounted, transferring printable file hemsing-50-1467648002_stDMATE_dp32_7-hemsing-cupsjob6499Cu8FC4qpYbUTjMuT.pdf to X2Go client system Jul 4 18:01:37 DC3 /usr/bin/x2goprint[6544]: x2goprint moved file hemsing-50-1467648002_stDMATE_dp32_7-hemsing-cupsjob6499Cu8FC4qpYbUTjMuT.pdf to X2Go client's spool dir Jul 4 18:01:37 DC3 /usr/bin/x2goprint[6544]: x2goprint moved file hemsing-50-1467648002_stDMATE_dp32_7-hemsing-cupsjob6499Cu8FC4qpYbUTjMuT.pdf.ready to X2Go client's spool dir, X2Go client should start the print dialog very soon So the print file has been sent to the client's spool directory. I rechecked that by manually copying a pdf file on the server side to the mounted spool directory and indeed it shows up on the clients spool directory. Thus, that mechanism works! However, no client side dialogue appears. Running the x2goclient with --debug does indeed give verbose logging, BUT nothing during the time of submitting the print job! What is wrong? My setup? I can't find anything... Bug? What is the mechanism to trigger the client's printing dialog?? It does not seem to get triggered. Also, there is no file left over in the client's spool directory. Cheers Chris

x2goclient/slackware 14.2
by Jon Bradley 07 Jul '16

07 Jul '16

Hi I'm trying to use x2goclient with slackware. The client runs the configuration screen where you can setup your connections, and also connects to the x2goserver just fine. But, the "desktop" screen never appears after connection. I've also tried to compile the debian version of the package, and it also shows the exact same behavior. Any hints on what is happening here? Thanks. -- (\ /) ( . .) Jon's website is here: c(")(") http://www.securityrabbit.com
