New X2Go releases: x2goclient, pyhoca-gui, pyhoca-cli, python-x2go
by Mike Gabriel 10 Jun '12

10 Jun '12

Dear all, The X2Go Project is proud to announce a couple of new X2Go component releases: - x2goclient (3.99.2.1) - pyhoca-gui (0.2.0.0) - pyhoca-cli (0.2.0.1) - python-x2go (0.2.0.3) All new packages will be available in our stable repositories (Debian, Ubuntu) within the next 24h. The Mac OS version of x2goclient will be available within the next couple of days, the Windows client takes a little more time due to heavy workload on the developers' side. Sources and binary releases will be downloadable under this URL as soon as they are provided by the packagers. http://code.x2go.org/releases/ I personally am very proud to be able to present a long-waited-for major release of Python X2Go and PyHoca-GUI. Thanks to Dick Kniep (http://www.lindix.nl) for sponsoring this piece of software. The latest API documentation of Python X2Go can be read here: http://code.x2go.org/doc/python-x2go Note: for Python X2Go, PyHoca-GUI and PyHoca-CLI, there has been a license change with this release.

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.

MacOS X 10.6.8 client, Ubuntu 12.04 server, scrambled keyboard
by Dirk Rüdiger Berlich 10 Jun '12

10 Jun '12

Hi there, I'm trying to connect from a Mac (MacOS X 10.6.8, x86_54) to a Ubuntu 12.04 desktop (Unity 2D, x86_64). The connection works out of the box and moving windows around works super fast, so I am eager to use x2go. However, any attempt to use the keyboard ends in disaster, as the key mapping seems to be totally scrambled. Unity has a little helper application that shows you which key it believes have been pressed. Doing this on the server in a local x2go client session shows the right keys. Doing this under the Mac client shows pretty much random key presses. E.g., pressing "h" shows up as "3", "n" shows up as "x" and so forth. Changing the keyboard map in the client interface (e.g. to English US from the default German / eliminate dead keys) does not help. Changing the option "Tastaturlayout behalten" (i.e. keep keyboard layout) does not help. Changing the desktop environment to KDE or Gnome-Classic does not help either. On the server, x2goversion reports x2goserver: 3.1.1.0 x2goserver-extensions: 3.1.1.0 x2goserver-fmbindings: 3.1.1.0 x2goserver-printing: 3.1.1.0 x2goserver-xsession: 3.1.1.0 The Mac client has version 3.99.2.0 . Any ideas ? Thanks and Best Regards, Ruediger

X2Go client change password on logon
by k.whitaker＠woffleys.co.uk 08 Jun '12

08 Jun '12

Hi, X2GO is working perfectly on debian squeeze, however does anyone know how to change a user's password via the x2go client on login? unfortunately our set-up requires passwords to be changed every 60 days and when its expired I get the message: Connection failed WARNING: Your password has expired. Password change required but no TTY available. apart from using putty or plink or ssh to trigger a password change, Im hoping there's a way to do this within the client. Kind Regards, Kris.

Hi Mike, Thanks for your rapid response. I have placed some entries in the Wiki. The structure was not so clear to me. Man links to (x2goserver download, install etc.) pointed to the generic page for x2goserver which had no download and install sections. I have done my best to follow preexisting structure and added my information where possible. I cannot check the git paths from work, but from memory the ones that didn't work were on the following page: http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:development:build-howto-linux:x2goserver How does the following comment fit in with the RPM builds? I see no x2goserver-xsession or x2goserver-extensions RPMs. Also, if the remote server already has a desktop environment installed then one more x2go package (besides x2goserver) must now be installed on the server before the x2goclient can successfully initiate/start a remote desktop x2go session. This additional x2go package is called x2goserver-xsession. This must be installed for the x2goclient to successfully start the remote desktop x2go session unless the x2goserver is intended for use with the new x2go Published Apps capability (see NOTE below). I will look into the runlevel issue when I have the chance. Do you have debugging documentation (i.e. locations of logfiles etc.)?

x2goplugin

Hi x2go user, I got notice of x2go this week and implemented it sucessfully for my needs. But what about the x2goplugin ?

X2Go TCE on USB key with Debian live-build ?
by Charlie BRAVO 22 May '12

22 May '12

Hello to everybody, This is our first post on x2go. Sorry if the question seems stupid or if we are not at the right place. We googled during days without finding a precise answer... We have to use thin clients to connect to x2go-servers. Thus, we looked the "Installation of the X2Go TCE based on Debian" (http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:components:tce) That looks not bad :-) But we cannot use a PXE server. So, we need the "same" thing, but on a CD, or better, on an USB key. We saw on archived posts (for example: http://www.mail-archive.com/x2go-dev@lists.berlios.de/msg02233.html) that this question was discussed, but not considered "making sense". The links which are given there (for example for "apt-get install x2go-rootfs") do not seem any more up to date... And the wiki "X2Go Live" (http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:components:x2golive) seems... empty. For other reasons, we use a little "live-build" (http://live.debian.net/) but we are not experts. Our first question: After runnig "x2gothinclient_update" we have a "X2go TCE chroot" (under /opt/x2gothinclient/chroot/). Is there a simple way to use this directory with live-build to build a binary image? That is, avoiding the "bootstrap" stage and the "chroot" stage, but starting directly with the "binary" stage? Our second (more global) question: It looks like the "X2go TCE chroot" (under /opt/x2gothinclient/chroot/) obtained with "x2gothinclient_create" is built in a similar way what live-build could do (are we wrong?). As said previously (in the archive posts), it seems that the project x2go decided not to maintain both solutions: TCE and live-build. But, *maybe* would-it be possible to maintain both results for a single effort? live-build can build different kinds of images (lb_config -b|--binary-images iso|iso-hybrid|net|tar|hdd) of which "net". Instead of maintaining the "x2gothinclient_create" package, would it not be possible to just maintain the accurate options to be entered to "lb config", "lb build", etc... and the additional "includes" or "modified packages" or "hooks" and to let the user choose between the options "--binary-images" ("hdd" or "net")? Thus both needs could be satisfied just with a single effort ;-) Thank you for your answers. In the rush, we just need a way to "put" the PXE-chroot on a "live" USB key... Best Regards, Charlie --

x2goclient and HTTP proxy
by Maarten Boekhold 20 May '12

20 May '12

Hi all, After a hiatus of a couple of years, I decided to try x2go again, since NX Client from Nomachine doesn't seem to handle an XFCE desktop very well. I was pleasantly surprised, x2go seems to have improved massively and works just beautifully. One thing I am missing however is the ability to establish a session through an HTTP proxy server (using HTTP CONNECT). NX Client 3.x does do this (but it seems it's not possible in the NX Client 4 beta client). I've done a little bit of research, and it looks like LIBSSH does have some facilities to support a "proxy command": ssh_options_set(my_ssh_session, SSH_OPTION_PROXYCOMMAND, "command"); "command" in this case would be something like 'corkscrew' or 'proxytunnel'. http://www.agroman.net/corkscrew/ http://proxytunnel.sourceforge.net/ What are the chances that this SSH_OPTION_PROXYCOMMAND could be integrated into the x2go client? It looks like x2goclient is built using cygwin, and I believe that both corkscrew as well as proxytunnel can be built on cygwin as well. So I wonder if the following additions to x2goclient are possible: - Add the following GUI options to x2go sessions: - HTTP proxy host: takes hostname/ip of your HTTP proxy - HTTP proxy port: takes port of HTTP proxy - HTTP proxy username : for optional authentication - HTTP proxy password : for optional authentication - I'm not sure if corkscrew supports proxy authentication... - On start of a session, if HTTP proxy host+port is specified, use ssh_options_set() with command corkscrew <proxy host> <proxy port> <remote host> <remote_ip> (I *think* you can harcode %h and %p for the remote host and remote ip...) - Add corkscrew to the x2goclient distribution I believe the licenses of x2goclient and corkscrew are compatible (both GPL2). Interested in your thoughts about this. Rgds, Maarten

Kubuntu Precise & DBUS problems with x2go. { FORWARD from X2GO-DEV }
by Helmer Teles 18 May '12

18 May '12

Hello ML I've been strugling with kubuntu 12.04 precise & x2go. As reported before kde crashes several times with dbus errors. DBUS is deneing access to x2go remote sessions. I've googled for the error, but can't seem to find the way to solve the problem system wide. As a example, printer-applet crashes if i don't change two rules in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/com.redhat.NewPrinterNotification.conf I've already tried to modify dbus conf to listen on tcp connections instead of only socket. Does anyone have any insight on this subject? regards, -- Helmer Teles eM at il : helmer [DOT] teles [AT] Google mail Web Page: http://hteles.wordpress.com Hello ML, Does anyone has tested Kubuntu 12.04 with x2go stable PPA! I've instaled two testing machines and have been having crashes with kwin. Both machines are running on KVM and don't have the same problem when running inside virt-viewer. Please can anyone share their experiences with kde 4.8.x with other distros ou kubuntu previous versions? regards, -- Helmer Teles eM at il : helmer [DOT] teles [AT] Google mail Web Page: http://hteles.wordpress.com

Authentication issues
by Inquisitor SHM 17 May '12

17 May '12

I need assistance getting X2Go working. I have Ubuntu 12.04 running x2go server and OSX as the x2go client. I can ssh into ubuntu from mac. I cannot get x2go working - no matter what. The errors messages are non-descript and neither google or the documentation has been any help. I get - (1) The server is unknown. Do you trust the host key? Public key has .... in spite of having the public key in authorized_keys and the server in known_hosts. After responding Yes to the prompt above I get - No public key matchesd Access Denied. Authentication that can continue: publickey, keyboard-interactive. Pressing OK then follows with the username/password prompt. I put in the correct username and password. The system repeats again the same 'The server is unknown message from (1) above. It does not matter whether I allow sshd to use clear passwords or not. I kindly ask for your assistance. That request said, let me say this: I think this project is fantastic and has a lot of promise. However, as long as connectivity between server and client remains more difficult than what it should, and remains badly documented, then the entire project effort is meaningless. The entire project is therefore less than useless. I have some 20 years systems engineering/software development experience and am generally the most technical person in most companies that I work at, which is saying something when there are about 500 technical resources at any point in time. If I get frustrated with setting up simple connectivity then clearly it is beyond the average user - who by the way is your target audience. Again, please help me connect and understand how and why it fails to connect/authenticate. Sincerely, G. Ravenor A Geeks Alter-Ego
