New X2Go user (missing privileges)
by Timo 16 Mar '12

16 Mar '12

Hi all, FreeNX seems not to be anymore supported for newer systems (e.g. Oneiric) so I was very glad that I found this X2Go. Thanks for good work! I got it running after I learned what to put into the session type and edited Wiki with my observation (http://www.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:components:x2goclient) There is a couple of small hitches though: The first is a small one; update, audio volume and network applets render a little badly (Mint 12 gnome classic fallback session). The second is a little more critical; I don't have administration privileges in remote session. For example in Applications->Systems Tools->System Settings->User Accounts there is an Unlock button but it is disabled. So I can't use that tool to manage user accounts remotely. I don't know where to start to look at this problem. -- Timo

Client side mass storage mounting support
by Emanuele Rocca 16 Mar '12

16 Mar '12

Hi, I'm currently testing a simple x2go setup: both client and server are running Ubuntu Oneiric, with the packages taken from http://ppa.launchpad.net/x2go/stable/ubuntu/. One of the features listed in the packages description is: - client side mass storage mounting support However, I haven't found any instruction explaining how to enable this. Is pendrive mounting support supposed to work out of the box? When I try to plug in a USB stick it gets mounted on the client machine and nothing happens in the x2go session. Any hint? The following packages are installed on the server: ii cups-x2go 3.0.0.3-0~54~oneiric1 ii x2goagent 2:3.5.0.11-0~220~oneiric1 ii x2gognomebindings 2.0.1.4-0~53~oneiric1 ii x2goserver 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 ii x2goserver-compat 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 ii x2goserver-extensions 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 ii x2goserver-fmbindings 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 ii x2goserver-printing 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 ii x2goserver-pyhoca 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 ii x2goserver-xsession .1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 And the following packages are installed on the client: ii cups-x2go 3.0.0.3-0~54~oneiric1 ii python-x2go 0.1.1.9-0-0~612~oneiric1 ii x2goagent 2:3.5.0.11-0~220~oneiric1 ii x2goclient 3.99.0.6-0~144~oneiric1 ii x2gognomebindings 2.0.1.4-0~53~oneiric1 ii x2goserver 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 ii x2goserver-compat 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 ii x2goserver-extensions 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 ii x2goserver-fmbindings 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 ii x2goserver-printing 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 ii x2goserver-pyhoca 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 ii x2goserver-xsession 3.1.0.0-0~477~oneiric1 Thanks, Emanuele

Re: [X2Go-User] x2go + chroot

Hello, > I think you should try looking at the documentation for SSH, since > that's the service that authenticates users. If i remember right, > theres an option specifically for limiting users to their home > directory only. Thank you very much for your hint, you are probably thinking about ChrootDirectory here. SSH is only one piece of the puzzle and we need to know how x2go behaves in a chroot, but even before that how to install x2go correctly into a chroot. Are there static builds of the x2go-server available? Also it might be possible that x2gpo-server itself offers any ind of chroot feature or at least supports it in one or the other way. Thanks! Have a nice day, Bughunter

Using Encrypted Home & Passwords
by senrabdet＠aol.com 14 Mar '12

14 Mar '12

Hi All: We're experimenting with a couple of things: 1) Using x2go Encrypted Home partitions. 2) Requiring use of a log in password in addition to SSH keys. Q: 1) There seems to be some merit in requiring a login password in addition to an ssh key. While it is nice to be able to connect without a password, if a windows laptop is compromised or stolen (and we realize nothing is foolproof), can't someone steal the key have have full access to a user's account? Requiring the user to enter a password at login seems to start to address this. What do people think? Would this be an enhanced, "yes that makes" sense sort of approach? Other, better approaches (would prefer not to require fobs or physical key devices). 2) We haven't been able by changing settings is sshd_config to force a password request - is that something we'd do in creating the ssh keys? We are using Ubuntu Server 10.4 and have seen some things on Google searches that suggest OpenSSH actually doesn't allow you to force the use of a password.... 3) If we encrypted the home partition, the x2go connection fails but then we can connect by entering the login password. We can get around this by creating a link to a folder outside of the encrypted partition with the authorized_key, but are know starting to think maybe we want to require the password for login. Is there a way to go right to the x2go "Loginin" screen (the one you get is you show enter a path to ssh keys) so when a user starts the Windows Client, they see that screen to enter a log in password? Thanks, Ted

Thanks morty, that did solve my problem. Still, when i set the client to auto-detect, it dosnt find the right keymap. I could probably triage this on my server somehow, but it dosnt seem to be the right way of doing things On 03/12/2012 12:00 PM, Moritz Struebe wrote: > Please check the x2go users mailing list for questions like this. > > Anyway: First try running setxkbmap, and when that does not solve the > problem and you are using Gnome "metacity --replace" might solve the > problem. > > Cheers > Morty > > On 2012-03-12 11:49, christoffer krakou wrote: >> Hello x2go-team and the rest >> >> I'm having a problem on my x2goserver, where the arrow keys seems to >> be mismatched.

Composite extension
by Ralph Sikau 09 Mar '12

09 Mar '12

Hi, we connect to a gnome session on a x2go host. This gnome session has cairo-dock installed which unfortunately cannot make use of the composite function included in metacity for real transparency. When I start xcompmgr it says "no composite extension". The x2go windows client uses vcxsrv which is supposed to be even opengl capable. Where is the handicap here? Best, Ralph

Fwd: thinclient image and automounting usb-devices
by brian mullan 09 Mar '12

Stefan Not sure if this is of any help but have you heard of or tried USB over IP: http://usbip.sourceforge.net/ here's a guide for doing it with ubuntu: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-set-up-a-usb-over-ip-server-and-client-wit… Could the x2go-server or x2go-client machine be configured to use this to solve your thin-client usb mounting problem?

NX lib path issue prevents Xubuntu 11.10 sessions from starting
by Benjamin Shadwick 09 Mar '12

09 Mar '12

I'm using Xubuntu 11.10 and can no longer login after upgrading to a recent stable version of x2goserver. I tried changing my session to open a Terminal instead of starting an X session, then tried to start the X session from the Terminal prompt, and got the following error message: xscreensaver: error while loading shared libraries: libNX_Xext.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory xfce4-session: error while loading shared libraries: libNX_Xext.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory My LD_LIBRARY_PATH was set to just /usr/lib/nx/X11/Xinerama but libNX_Xext.so.6 was in /usr/lib/nx/X11 I added /usr/lib/nx/X11 to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and that seemed to get things working again. Since I am already using a script to set some environment variables in order to get a Xubuntu desktop instead of a plain XFCE one, I just added the LD_LIBRARY_PATH fix to that for now.
