Thin Client Edition and USB/CD-ROM client-side mounts
by Stefan Baur 10 Jan '14

10 Jan '14

Hi, I added "x2gousbmount" and "x2gocdmanager" to my thinclient image, but all that happens is that I can see USB mass storage media being mounted locally on the client when plugged in. CDs don't show up at all, and nothing (neither USB media nor CDs) shows up inside the X2Go session (where should they show up, anyways? Under which path am I supposed to look for them?). I'm not sure if I made a mistake when configuring the session, though. Is there a man page or wiki page explaining what the session config is supposed look like when one wants to automatically share client-side media? -Stefan

Keyboard mapping issues with Windows client
by Roderick Johnstone 09 Jan '14

09 Jan '14

@Mike Gabriel I have broken this out of the thread "[X2Go-User] [newb] display size ignored". I wanted to clarify the keyboard mapping issues that I'm seeing. I need, at least, to connect to a KDE session from a Windows client with a UK keyboard and from a UK model Mac laptop correctly. When connecting a Windows KDE session I invariably get a US keyboard layout. I'm sorry this post is so long, but its all a bit complicated... My early tests were a bit confusing, I think because the system I'm connecting to has a system-wide UK keyboard setting. So, sometimes tests with xterm seem to be working when its just getting a default. In order to resolve this ambiguity, I've been testing from my Windows laptop with the keyboard set to French mapping which is not a default for the system I'm connecting to or for kde. I've been testing from Windows client 4.01.2 and server package x2goserver-4.0.1.9-2.fc20.x86_64 from the Fedora 20 repo. When I start a single application session (/usr/bin/xterm) the only setup that seems to get the correct French keyboard mappings is when I explicitly set the Keyboard layout to fr and the Keyboard model to pc105/fr. Choosing either auto for the layout or ticking the checkbox "Keep current keyboard settings" does not result in a French layout. (In both cases I get a UK keyboard layout which is the system default for the system I'm connecting to). Having established how to get the correct keyboard mapping in a plain xterm I try a kde session with the same client keyboard settings; now I get a US keyboard layout, which I suspect is a kde default. I'm doing a setxkbmap -print >& /tmp/temp.lis very early on in /usr/bin/startkde and I can see that at that point a French keyboard is set. However, by the time the KDE session is running and I can type into a konsole I have a US key layout. (Logging in to a KDE session at the console on this system gets me a UK keyboard as expected). I thought that maybe KDE is setting its own US keyboard map (or just defaulting to US) so I took some advice from the Fedora KDE list on how to stop KDE setting its own keyboard map. However, that had no effect. I still get the US keyboard map. So, I think there are at least two problems: 1) For the simple xterm session setting the layout to "auto" or checking the box "Keep current keyboard settings" is not working. 2) KDE is possibly overriding the already set keyboard map with a US layout. Is it likely that the nightly Windows client builds will address both these issues or perhaps just 1)? Can you confirm that its possible (for you) to get a KDE session with the correct keyboard mapping that is not the default? Thanks Roderick

wrong keyboard layout
by Giuseppe Barichello 09 Jan '14

09 Jan '14

Hi all, after last packages upgrades (debian testing) I began having problems with keyboard layout. The configuration falled back to "us", while my client is configured as "it". Looking into session logs I found a warning about being unable to stat file /usr/local/lib/nx/X11/xbd/rules/xorg. Indeed there is no "nx" directory under /usr/local/lib in my system. I fixed with: mkdir /usr/local/lib/nx ln -s /usr/share/X11 /usr/local/lib/nx/X11 I don't know if this is correct. I suspect a bug in latest packages... Giuseppe

Pulseaudio muffles sounds from other applications in Windows 7
by rené 09 Jan '14

09 Jan '14

Hello all, I just upraded from version 3.99 (I think it was) to the latest - 4.0.1.2. I both the previous version and this one, I found that when pulseaudio.exe runs (starts when x2goclient i started), sound from Youtube and other applications is muffled and turned down slightly (audible). Killing pulseaudio.exe would remedy that. I don't need sound in x2go-client and I would have hoped that having sound disabled in my profile, I wouldn't have to kill pulseaudio.exe every time I run x2goclient.. but no. Anyway.. in 3.99 I would kill pulseaudio.exe and all would be fine, but then I upgraded to 4.0.1.2 .. now I can kill pulseaudio.exe, but it will immediately be restarted.. Urgh.. Now I have to rename the pulseaudio.exe file so x2go can't restart it. My question: Could you please make it possible to either not install pulseaudio at all or at least produce a clever way of not having x2go start it at runtime? Cheers and thanks for an otherwise great application :) /rené

wmctrl problems
by Jean-Francois Dagenais 07 Jan '14

07 Jan '14

Hi all, Running x2go server on ubuntu (12.04), and my terminal is a mac running XQuartz (with quartz-wm) and the Qt x2go client. I used the Published apps rootless and spawn a few windows from the server. Things run pretty smoothly and Im happy with the performance. The thing that hurts is related to window management. Heres a relevant output: $ echo $DISPLAY :50 $ wmctrl -l Cannot get client list properties. (_NET_CLIENT_LIST or _WIN_CLIENT_LIST) $ wmctrl -m Cannot get window manager info properties. (_NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK or _WIN_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK) Whereas if I run the same commands natively on the mac, XQuartz responds correctly to wmctrl. So the problem affects pretty much all tools related to window management I tried. I am no X11 expert, but I am a developer and very familiar with linux systems. Right now I just need a few pointers, any thoughts? Thanks in advance! /jfd

x2go & firefox, overload + lockups
by Carl 06 Jan '14

06 Jan '14

Hello, I do all my work through x2go (central XFCE desktop server for the company) and I run the nightly Firefox builds. Certain web pages lead to my entire desktop turning extremely slow, sometimes completely unworkable. This is with only a wireless lan between my terminal and the x2go server. I understand there's a problem with Firefox here, probably generating too many x events (guess) or similar. However, it doesn't seem like x2go is working optimally when a single application can spoil the whole desktop like this (even when the windows are on a different workspace or minimized). The solution is simply to close Firefox when the desktop grinds to a halt (a few times per day). As one of the pages it happened on was our own web page, I looked at the web code to try to track down the problem, and it was bizarrely triggered when many objects on the web page had the background-size property set to 100% in CSS, so there's definitely a Firefox issue involved. However, I'd like to work out if I can tune x2go to handle this better. I thought, based on how NX worked, that events were handled locally on the server and only sent across the link when needed. I can't confirm if this is involved, but it certainly seems like something can be improved as windows that are not shown shouldn't, reasonably, be able to interfere. Does anyone have any input on this? Advice? Should I report a bug? Many thanks. Regards, Carl

pxe: "Access denied: Authentication that can continue...."
by Luciano Gabriel Andino 06 Jan '14

06 Jan '14

Hi there)) I am trying to configure x2go/pxe and this is my first question. I did a clientsession in server and scp transfer to pxe server. PXE server is ready, client booted but I can't login cause this message appears (in client): "Access denied: Authentication that can continue...." while it was possible to login from a linux box. The idea is that a any user can access to his account from anyclient. how can I store this publickeys? thanks in advance, -- Saludos!!

How do I get sound to work in kde? If I try Settings for the Phonon multimedia framework I only see the physical devices on the server.
