No login after upgrade
by Paul van der Vlis 22 Nov '11

22 Nov '11

Hello, Great that it seems to be clear now why sometimes session are lost. I've upgraded to the latest version of X2go, but after the upgrade I cannot login anymore. I've removed x2go completely with a --purge and reinstalled it again. But it's not possible to login, hmmm. In /etc/group there is no group "x2gousers" anymore. Maybe I don't know how to add a user, but I don't find documentation about how to add a user on the wiki. With regards, Paul van der Vlis. -- Paul van der Vlis Linux systeembeheer, Groningen http://www.vandervlis.nl

X2go Printing to x2goclient's printer
by Graybeal, Andy 19 Nov '11

19 Nov '11

Greetings, I'm trying to get x2go to print to the x2goclient's printer. I have Ubuntu 10.04 on my server, I'm hooked into the PPA's: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/x2go/ppa/ubuntu lucid main I've followed the instructions on the wiki: http://wiki.x2go.org/wiki:components:printing I have these installed: cups-x2go: 3.0.0.4 x2goserver: 3.0.99.8 x2goserver-extensions: 3.0.99.8 x2goserver-printing: 3.0.99.8 My cups localhost:631 page says it's version 1.4.3 I have the "Generic X2Go Printer" device installed in my print queue. I have not edited my /etc/cups/cups-x2go.conf file. I have Ubuntu 11.04 on my client machine, it has x2goclient 3.99.0.2 (Qt - 4.7.2) (hooked into the PPA's at the same place as the server but for natty - deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/x2go/ppa/ubuntu natty main) I'm wondering how do I troubleshoot printing issues? When I do print, it seems to send it looks like it sent fine from the server, but the client doesn't do anything. So far, it looks like I've had to install 'xpdf' which wasn't mentioned on the wiki.. but I don't know if this is for sure, because it didn't resolve any problems, but before this I would get an error message saying 'xpdf' was missing. Otherwise, I can print fine to the printer locally. If you need more information let me know. Thanks, Andy

Ah... I found the problem... please ignore my request! x2goclient settings -> printing tab -> select "Print" Looks like xpdf still doesn't come up but that is another concern and I will not bother the list about this. Thank you and sorry. Andy At Saturday, 11-19-2011 on 1:10 pm Graybeal, Andy wrote: > Greetings, > I'm trying to get x2go to print to the x2goclient's printer.

X2Go mailing lists probably staying at BerliOS
by Mike Gabriel 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Hi all, just a short notice on our mailing list hoster BerliOS... It very much looks like it that the BerliOS OSS development portal (www.berlios.de) will be continued beyond Dec 2011. The logistical and monetary infrastructure behind the BerliOS portal is currently moved from a research project to an NGO organizational form and from my perspective the chances are rather high that in the future the X2Go mailing list hosting on the BerliOS mail server(s) can also be continued. If this turns out to be different we will let you know ASAP, currently, however, no action (mailing list migration) seems to be necessary. We'll keep you posted!!!

Usability with latency ~200ms
by Stefan.Klingner＠brodos.de 14 Nov '11

Hi, we are trying to use X2Go to provide a devolpment environment for our employees in India. The problem is that the connection to India is really bad (latency ~200ms) and so working with X2Go is currently not possible. Is there a way to improve the performance on the X2Go client/server configuration? Does anybody have experience with such a szenario? Please help.

Stephan, Thank you so much for those steps. Indeed, it worked great for me and I can now promote migration to Lion at our company as well as continue to recommend x2go. FYI, I did get that error Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key, but your suggested command worked out. Not sure how you figured this all out but I sure do appreciate it!

LAN connection slow
by Ralph Sikau 11 Nov '11

Hi, the x2go clients offer LAN as the fastest connection type. Though we have a gigabit Lan here, this connection type is much slower than DSL or WAN. How comes? Regards, Ralph

NX workaround packages, temporarily SOLVES: crashing X2Go sessions
by Mike Gabriel 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

Dear all, (resending this mail to x2go-user, x2go-dev, corrected mail address of announcement list, fixed minor inaccuracies of the first version sent to the lists) as many of you have reported, there are major issues with the version of NoMachine's NX libraries that are currently provided on packages.x2go.org and in X2Go's Ubuntu Launchpad. The occurring crashes of X2Go sessions do not relate to the code itself but to the way the code (from X2Go Git) currently is built (i.e. compiled and packaged). Only five weeks ago, Alex, Reinhard and Mike could narrow the problems down to the build method being used. The issues probably also apply to the way other NX related projects build their (Debian-ic) packages. So, if anyone needs more details on this, feel free to contact us on this list. As a matter of fact, we currently can't consider the available NX libraries provided on packages.x2go.org (with obvious effect on x2goagent) as ,,stable'' at all; session crashes can easily be reproduced on various setups. Certain actions within the X2Go session cause naughty reconnect or disconnect messages for the client user and many times the sessions die seemingly without reason. This problem is due to NX libraries being built against the distribution's X server development files and not against the development files of nx-X11 (Xserver provided by NoMachine). Unfortunately, the former build method, however, has been state-of-the-art for the Debian-like packages ever since. We are working on a new way of building those packages, see below. As there have been many complaints we'll respond by offering intermediate packages that do not contain these problems. However, these packages have been built in a non-Debian state-of-the-art way and the solution provided from us is only a temporary workaround until we have solved the package build method for these packages. Alex has built packages using a non-Git based build environment, one we used before we changed to working with Git. The provided packages have the same package names as found in Git, they also have a slightly higher version number so your systems will upgrade easily if you use the ,,workaround'' package set: libxcomp3 libxcompext3 libxcompshad3 These new packages should do their job well, as we can't reproduce the reported crashes with them anymore. Currently, we are working with high pressure on cleanly-built NX packages (see: Git project nx-libs.git, test branch, also x2goagent.git, test branch), so that we can provide Git based NX packages soon again. DEBIAN ====== If you want to use those packages on Debian, please make sure that you have deb http://packages.x2go.org/debain squeeze main (or wheezy main, sid main) as package source configured in your APT system. If that is the case simply upgrade the above named packages and then you should get the workaround NX packages installed. $ apt-get update $ apt-get install libxcomp3 libxcompext3 libxcompshad3 If encountering errors during installation, also make sure to uninstall all development packages around NX libs before upgrading to the workaround package set: $ apt-get remove libxcomp-dev libxcompshad-dev libxcompext-dev $ apt-get remove libxcomp3-dbg libxcompshad3-dbg libxcompext3-dbg We'll keep the NX workaround packages in the "main" area of our Debian repos as long as needed. You'll still have access to the git based packages using the "heuler" area. (deb http://packages.x2go.org/debian squeeze heuler). UBUNTU ====== For people who use Ubuntu GNU/Linux and install X2Go from Launchpad the solution is not as simple. We have provided tar.gz files containing the needed packages. Download the tar.gz file appropriate for your Ubuntu version from http://packages.x2go.org/nx-3.5-workaround/ubuntu/ Extract your downloaded tarball (=tar.gz file) and install packages manually (e.g. for Ubuntu oneiric): $ mkdir ubuntu-x2go $ cd ubuntu-x2go $ wget http://packages.x2go.org/nx-3.5-workaround/ubuntu/nx-3.5-workaround_ubuntu-… $ tar -xvzf nx-3.5-workaround_ubuntu-oneiric.tar.gz $ eval $(dpkg-architecture -s) $ dpkg -i *${DEB_HOST_ARCH}*.deb When encountering problems, also make sure to remove the development packages around NX before installation of the workaround packages: $ apt-get remove libxcomp-dev libxcompshad-dev libxcompext-dev $ apt-get remove libxcomp3-dbg libxcompshad3-dbg libxcompext3-dbg This is a temporary solution for the time we can't guarantee that the Git based built packages are stable. From our perspective stability should come first, but of course we will try hard to solve the build problem so that we can use our X2Go Git based build environment for NX libs, as well (again).
