x2go Client not connecting. Where to get more info?
by Diego Costantini 13 Nov '14

13 Nov '14

Hi, I am trying to connect a Windows 7 machine to a Mint/Cinnamon server with desktop sharing enabled. I see the ssh connection apparently successful from auth.log: Nov 11 17:57:42 myPC sshd[31369]: Accepted keyboard-interactive/pam for myUser from 10.0.0.5 port 49481 ssh2 Nov 11 17:57:42 myPC sshd[31369]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user sms1\dcostantini by (uid=0) If I try a wrong password it fails, so up to SSH all seems ok. But the client shows nothing, it is greyed out (but seems not frozen) and I can only close the window. Is there some log on the client? Maybe I can find the blocker there and report for more help. I read that Cinnamon was an issue but it should be working now, right? Thanks, Diego

x2go client and numeric pad
by Robert Parts 11 Nov '14

11 Nov '14

Hi, We have problems with x2go and numeric pad. The keys in numeric pad seem to work in random manner, some of them display digits, some are blank, some work like arrow keys. Server: Mint 17, native X2Go client. We have tested both Autodetect and Configured keyboards: pc105 fi pc105 et pc105 de by using WinXP; Win 8.1; Win7 and Mint 17 X2Go clients. pc105 + us works until nobody touch "Num-Lock" button. Press it twice (off & on again) and after that randomly some numbers are ok some not, even same button gives random results. Should I use another Keyboard layout? Is somewhere a list about alternatives? Robert

code.x2go.org going down for maintenance
by Mike Gabriel 11 Nov '14

11 Nov '14

Hi all, the VM host that code.x2go.org (aka git, packages, lists, bugs, etc.) runs on requires (again) the replacement of a hard drive. The machine will go down for maintenance soon and will come back ASAP.

"Whole screen" mode without capturing the cursor
by Colin E 05 Nov '14

05 Nov '14

*Server: Debian "Jessie" X2Go Server: 4.0.1.18-0x2go1+git20141006.949+wheezy.main.1 Client: Windows 7 Pro 64 bit X2Go Client: 4.0.3.0 (Qt - 4.8.6)* Hi, I am using X2Go to access a headless Debian (Jessie) machine from Windows 7. My Windows machine has 3 screens. What I want to do is dedicate one screen to the X2Go session to the server, but still be able to use the other 2 screens on the client. Currently X2Go lets me choose either- 1. Windowed mode, where the cursor can move in or out of the X2Go window 2. Fullscreen mode, where X2Go captures the cursor What I want is a 3rd mode- * Dedicate one client screen to X2Go, but allow the (client, Windows) cursor to move in or out of the X2Go window Is this possible? Regards- -- *Mr. C. J. Evans*

Error: "Failed to restore all the required visuals"
by Colin E 05 Nov '14

05 Nov '14

*Server: Debian "Jessie" X2Go Server: 4.0.1.18-0x2go1+git20141006.949+wheezy.main.1 Client: Windows 7 Pro 64 bit X2Go Client: 4.0.3.0 (Qt - 4.8.6)* Hi, I am using X2Go to access a headless Debian (Jessie) machine from Windows 7. At some time in the last couple of days I must have closed or aborted the connection from the client without cleanly shutting down the server session. Now when I try to open a session to the machine I get the error- *Failed to restore all the required visuals Can't resume the NX session on this display* I can see XFCE session and a bunch of other X services running on the server. I can of course just log into the server using SSH and kill all the X processes (or reboot the machine) but that will lose any work in windows that are still open on the server. Is X2Go able to reconnect to an existing server session? If not is there a better way to clean things up than just killing server processes? Regards *Colin E *
