Excessive bandwidth usage
by David Friberg 17 Jan '12

17 Jan '12

Hi, I've been monitoring my bandwidth usage on a Windows client, connected to a Ubuntu x2go server. For me it's about the same as plain X forwarding (something like 10-20MB for a KDE session startup). On http://www.nomachine.com/documentation/building-components.php, they claim this should be closer to 35KB. I have my jpeg compression set to the minimum possible quality, and have selected "modem" connection. I am using the latest PPA update on server side, and the late December build on the Windows client. What am I missing? Dave Friberg phone: (402) 957-2480

how to completely remove/purge and reinstall
by Richard Strysniewicz 17 Jan '12

17 Jan '12

I have been using x2goserver on one ubuntu 10.10 machine and accessing that from two other ubuntu 10.10 machines on the same LAN using x2goclient for many months with no issues. Late last year I started having issues reconnecting to existing sessions. I would like to remove/purge and reinstall everything to see if that clears my issues. What I have done so far is as follows, need I do anything else? server: apt-get remove --purge x2goserver rm -rf ~/.x2go ps -ef | grep x2go, then kill all processes listed apt-get install x2goserver clients: apt-get remove --purge x2goclient rm -rf ~/.x2go rm -rf ~/.x2goclient ps -ef | grep x2go, then kill all processes listed apt-get install x2goclient I tried the above and I get the same reconnection issues with my new installs. I'm hoping there is something I am missing that needs to be deleted/purged/uninstalled. FWIW, my reconnection issues are a seemingly random number of the following messages before I am able to reconnect to an existing session: X2Go - 53 The connection with the remote server was shut down. Please check the state of your network connection. Error Connection failed channel_open_session failed - Writing packet: error on socket (or connection closed): Success If I try long enough (sometimes more than 10 time) the connection will eventually succeed. Thanks, Richard

NX (redistributed) -- x2goagent fully integrated into NX-libs (call for testing)
by Mike Gabriel 13 Jan '12

13 Jan '12

Hi all, recently there has been some noise about X2Go re-working its NX code base. Indeed some quite interesting things have been going on recently around NX and X2Go. During the last weeks we have completely reworked the way we build NX libraries. This has fixed a lot of instability problems people had recently (summer/autumn 2011) already. During this last week we set up the X2Go subproject ,,NX (redistributed)'' (aka nx-libs.git on http://git.x2go.org) The X2Go project's developers (esp. Mike and Reinhard, supported by Alex and Heinz) have decided to re-distribute NX sources as one big tarball that builds with GNU make and contains patches not accepted by NoMachine themselves. The building of the tarball with GNU make already works fine, the ,,make install'' still needs more work. John Williams has agreed to contribute on that (thanks for that!!!). @John: please note that I have uploaded a new tarball containing the functionality described below ;-): http://code.x2go.org/releases/source/nx-libs/nx-libs_3.5.0.5-full.tar.gz During the last days now, we have achieved something that so far has hardly been imaginable (at least to me). We have incorporated three patches into nx-libs.git that allows to turn NX's nxagent into x2goagent during runtime: 01: http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=nx-libs.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/200_nxage… 02: http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=nx-libs.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/201_nxage… 03: http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=nx-libs.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/999_nxage… X2Go's agent is now part of NX and is maintained in nx-libs.git on http://git.x2go.org. The x2goagent package from now on depends on nxagent (as they are one). The x2goagent package provides a symbolic link to nxagent, a separate x2goagent man page and a wrapper script in /usr/bin, nothing else. If nxagent is executed unter the name of x2goagent, the X2GO branding gets activated within nxagent. Also: ,,NX (redistributed)'' is fully FreeNX compliant. Install ,,NX (redistributed)'' from the X2Go package archives and add FreeNX (Ubuntu Launchpad) on top of that. FreeNX and X2Go can now again be installed parallely on the same system. Interesting for migrations or client diversity. This step also allows us to finally abandon the following source projects completely now: nxcomp.git nxcompext.git nxcompshad.git nxproxy.git x2goagent.git See also at the bottom of this page: http://code.x2go.org/gitweb As this is esp. a call-out for testing the new packages(!!!!) here are some short infos on upgrading your X2Go test servers. Packages are available for Debian squeeze, wheezy, sid and Ubuntu lucid, ..., precise. The .deb packages are already available in the X2Go nightly-built repositories: http://wiki.x2go.org/wiki:development:nightly-builds?&#nightly-builds_for_u… Please note, that x2goagent will not install when running ,,apt-get upgrade''. Either you have to run ,,apt-get dist-upgrade'' or explicitly install x2goagent with ,,apt-get install x2goagent''. light+love Mike -- DAS-NETZWERKTEAM mike gabriel, dorfstr. 27, 24245 barmissen fon: +49 (4302) 281418, fax: +49 (4302) 281419 GnuPG Key ID 0xB588399B mail: mike.gabriel(a)das-netzwerkteam.de, http://das-netzwerkteam.de freeBusy: https://mail.das-netzwerkteam.de/freebusy/m.gabriel%40das-netzwerkteam.de.x…

Terminate and resume in 1 click ?
by Jean Gottschalk 05 Jan '12

05 Jan '12

Hello and Happy New Year to everyone! I have been using X2go for a few weeks now, and it works really well. In my application, users keep a session open indefinitely, and carry it from one terminal to another. When doing this, the session is usually still open on a previous terminal, so when taking the session to a new terminal, the user has to first click the terminate button, then the resume button. Wouldn't it be more straightforward to include a terminate operation in the resume button, so that one can resume a session in one click, without clicking the terminate button first, and the client will terminate the session if necessary before resuming it? This is how NXclient works (which I used before). Is there perhaps already a way to do this by modifying a command line argument or a script somewhere? Thank you! Jean

connection issue
by Mike 04 Jan '12

04 Jan '12

Hi to Everyone Have an issue with x2go that is probably a very simple issues but its doing my head in. I have a Ubuntu server with x2go installed as the preferred method of linking up with the desktop ( from OVH). I installed the windows front end of x2go on to both my win 7 pro desk top and work's laptop using default settings. I then started a new session entering all my detail of the server in the appropriate slots and connected to the server no issue first time. Then whilst configuring my server i messed a couple of things up and decided to reinstall the OS , no issue on that front . But this is where the issue lies every time i try to connect to the server now using x2go it says "Authentication Failed: Host key for server has changed , Its is now ( and then gives the key code) for security reasons connection will be stopped" and then the whole x2go program crashes, I have deleted the session and started a new one but same issue. I have even tried to uninstall x2go , then reinstalling but when i do this i always have a session with my ip from the server already in the program ( as if it is leaving a cach somewhere of old sessions) i have been to documents and settings and deleted all hidden .pub files and x2go folders that are left after uninstall. Any body shed any light on this very simple but annoying issue I can connect to the server via putty and NXmachine no issue but x2go is been a little stubborn Regards Mike

Stefan, Are you still having this issue? It doesn't sound like it's related to Lion. Are you able to connect from another client (Windows, Mac pre-Lion, Linux) with the same settings?

Background image in x2goclient on tce
by Jean Gottschalk 22 Dec '11

22 Dec '11

Hello, is it possible to customize the background image of the x2goclient running on tce? I am not talking about the splash screen in grub (which users never get to see if the thin clients are on), but the background shown at the session login screen. Thank you! Jean

Automatic mounting of USB drives
by Jean Gottschalk 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

Hello, I know that it is possible to share folders from the client (such as a plugged in USB drive) with the remote session prior to logging into the session. I would like to know if there is a mechanism by which USB drives mount automatically in the remote session when plugged into the client, while the session is already up? Jean
