Quick little trouble shooting instructions I set up for my users.
by Jeff Sadowski 22 Apr '19

22 Apr '19

My .bashrc starts like so if [ "$BASH_EXECUTION_STRING" != "" ]; then return 0; fi # do not add items before this line This helps with sftp and x2go if you have things that interfere with x2go or sftp like changing directories or adding paths that might interfere or just code block that might interfere. Always set the session type to XFCE default is KDE(not installed on all servers). XFCE is a lightweight desktop allowing more people to connect. if XFCE fails to start with a dbus error you may have a corrupted file in your home directory. One way to potentially fix this is to login with ssh and move all your dot files to a temporary directory like so mkdir -p ~/dot_files mv ~/.[a-zA-Z]* ~/dot_files After your dot files are out of the way try starting an x2go session. If it starts then one of the files was causing the issue. to move your files back that have not been created by starting x2go you can try this script I called restore_dot_files.sh #!/bin/bash #script to move back all files that where not recreated by starting xfce cd ~/dot_files ls -1 .[a-zA-Z]* | while read file; do if [ ! -e "${HOME}/${file}" ];then echo "moving back ${file}" mv "$file" ~/ fi done then try stopping and starting x2go and see if it still fails. If it fails then one of the files that is being copied back is causing the issue maybe ~/.bashrc I'd make sure you have the lines I have at the top of this article the top and bottom sections of my .bashrc and try again. If you are having issues with connecting to previous sessions you may need to login from a command line with an ssh client (like putty, or mobaxterm) and kill some hung sessions. Login to the server you can not connect to. Run: ps -fu $USER|grep x2goagent This will display your current x2goagent processes you have running Ex: user1::machine1 { ~ }-> ps -fu $USER |grep x2goagent user1 22323 1 0 Apr08 ? 00:05:22 x2goagent -nolisten tcp -nolisten tcp -dpi 96 -D -auth /home/user1/.Xauthority -geometry 800x600 -name X2GO-user1-53-1554730849_stDXFCE_dp24 :53 In this example if I can no longer connect to my x2go session on machine1 I would want to kill this process. So I would run: kill 22323 After running that see if there is still a process x2goruncommand by running ps -fu $USER |grep x2goruncommand Ex: user1::machine1 { ~ }-> ps -fu $USER |grep x2goruncommand user1 22383 1 0 Apr08 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash /usr/bin/x2goruncommand 53 22323 user1-53-1554730849_stDXFCE_dp24 52312 xfce4-session nosnd D you will want to try and kill that process as well in this example I would use the following to kill it kill 22383 After you kill those two processes you should be able to connect to that server again using x2go.

Client window size issues (Windows client)
by Ingo Brückl 12 Apr '19

12 Apr '19

When trying to connect the Windows client with a max. resolution of 1024x600 to a local desktop that is 1024x768, there are problems with window mode. (Yes, I now. I usually create X2Go sessions, but sometimes it'd nice to connect to the local desktop.) The Windows X window has a fixed, far too small size (no matter what custom size you specify - 1024x600 or 1024x768). It's only about 1024x450 and is displaying a middle part of the desktop. Trying to resize the window causes it to crash. So I was wondering whether VcXsrv can't display with a vertical scrollbar, i.e. a 1024x768 desktop in a 1024x600 window? And in fact, it can. Please consider adding '-resize=scrollbars' to the command line options. One problem, however, remains: There is no cursor visible inside the X window (not even if using -swcursor). Is it fixable?

PulseAudio understanding problem (Windows client)
by Ingo Brückl 31 Mar '19

31 Mar '19

Hi, I managed to build x2goserver with all its dependencies and requirements from scratch (my PC runs a Linux From Scratch). There is no problem to connect from a Windows notebook (client v4.1.2.0) to a local desktop on the Linux server (v4.1.0.3) using the integrated X-Server of the Windows client. The pulseaudio support, however, I am a bit at a loss with. The pulseaudio server runs on the Windows notebook and I'm able to play sound from the Linux server, but only by - locally - using something like PULSE_SERVER=192.168.0.2 (the notebook) and after manually copying the pulseaudio cookie file from notebook to PC. My question is: How is the Windows client supposed to pass this information to the PC, so that the sound client knows how to reach the pulseaudio server? (I could go without cookie using auth-ip-acl (assuming that it works with domain/host names) but the server's config file is created by the client, so I don't know how to overwrite it, and I'd missing the pulseaudio server's address anyway.)

Windows 10 1607 LTSB external vcxsrv
by James M. Pulver 29 Mar '19

29 Mar '19

We have this issue on one PC, trying to reproduce elsewhere, and unable to so far. The issue is that when we run a single application we get a fleeting error after log in that it cannot set the DISPLAY and the session is immediately suspended. On this PC, PuTTY with X forwarding enabled and manually running the same vcxsrv install works. The same user to the same Scientific Linux 7 remote server from a different PC with the same settings and versions of software works. Any ideas what else I should try? Thanks, -- James Pulver CLASSE Computer Group Cornell University

Temporary file clean-up
by Ingo Brückl 29 Mar '19

29 Mar '19

Hi, Is it possible to have an option for cleaning up all temporarily created session files for the (Windows) client and maybe also for the server (which leaves stale links in the user's home directory)? Ingo

Is x2goruncommand line 245 ("$dmd" == "IceWM") a typo (dmd instead of cmd)? Ingo

Pulseaudio failed to start x2goclient 4.1.2.0
by Norman Gaywood 29 Mar '19

29 Mar '19

Hi, We are looking to update x2goclient in our computer labs from 4.1.0.0 to 4.1.2.0 4.1.0.0 suffers from the flashing screen when maximised problem. 4.1.2.0 fixes the maximising problem, hover we now get a: "Pulseaudio failed to start" popup when starting x2goclient. I notice a couple of bugs reporting this but can't see how to fix it. Is there a fix?

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed (et al) and OBS
by Chris Puttick 26 Mar '19

Hi What would it require to maintain the OBS repo? Are the version numbers completely out of sync, and does that matter if there's no up-to-date repo for a distribution?

x2goserver on salix
by Robert Dinse 23 Mar '19

23 Mar '19

I have installex x2goserver version 4.0.1.19-x86_64-lsalix on a Salix 14.2 Linux system. I have enabled X forwarding in sshd and tested by sshd to the system and running xclock which correctly displays on my lock machine. I have installed the mate desktop, it works on the local machine. When I try to connect with x2goclient it hangs forever like it's waiting for the salix machine but it never times out and prints an error dialogue. Any suggestions on how to proceed? -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Eskimo North Linux Friendly Internet Access, Shell Accounts, and Hosting.
