Is there a way to make an x2go session show up in utmp and wtmp as a normal ssh terminal session would? -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Eskimo North Linux Friendly Internet Access, Shell Accounts, and Hosting.

Backgrounds

On all of my Ubuntu servers when accessing via x2go and mate desktop, I no longer see the background, just solid black. Going to other systems such as CentOS still displays background okay. -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Eskimo North Linux Friendly Internet Access, Shell Accounts, and Hosting.

Problem with SHIFT, Linux server, Mac client
by Marcin Żukowski 12 Aug '18

12 Aug '18

I'm using x2go on MacOSX, connecting to a Linux server. I'm hitting this weird behavior that after pressing SHIFT, some keys don't work. This is quite annoying when typing. For example, when I hold SHIFT and press SPACE, I'm getting these events from xev (Linux - server side), and SPACE doesn't show. Note the "NoSymbol" below. KeyPress event, serial 285, synthetic NO, window 0x2800001, root 0xe3, subw 0x0, time 615096810, (353,1185), root:(357,1288), state 0x0, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 285, synthetic NO, window 0x2800001, root 0xe3, subw 0x0, time 615097120, (353,1185), root:(357,1288), state 0x1, *keycode 57 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol)*, same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False Same in xterm on Mac (client side) KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0xc00001, root 0x1d1, subw 0x0, time 615286125, (1429,933), root:(1449,976), state 0x0, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0xc00001, root 0x1d1, subw 0x0, time 615286693, (1429,933), root:(1449,976), state 0x1, *keycode 57 (keysym 0x20, space)*, same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (20) " " XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (20) " " XFilterEvent returns: False Here's what setxkbmap prints (server/Linux side) $ setxkbmap -query -v 7 Applied rules from xorg: rules: xorg model: null layout: us,pl variant: , options: grp:shift_caps_toggle Trying to build keymap using the following components: keycodes: xfree86+aliases(qwerty) types: complete compat: complete symbols: pc+us+pl:2+group(shift_caps_toggle) geometry: pc(pc104) rules: xorg model: null layout: us,pl variant: , options: grp:shift_caps_toggle Any ideas how to fix it?

Clipboard copy paste keeps being unreliable for years now
by Nigra Truo 10 Aug '18

10 Aug '18

Hi, I have been using X2go with a Debian Server and Linux Debian and Windows 7 clients for ages now. Most of the time it works flawlessly, but one thing that bugs the hell out of me is that copy paste via clipboard from Client to server does not work reliably. It works most of the time, but then it just fails, when I copy something, and paste in the target machine, nothing gets pasted. Now I want to troubleshoot and fix this once and for all. What causes this problem, why does copy paste fail sometimes? Thanks, Markus -- *Por sperto kaj lerno ne sufiĉas eterno.*

client name
by richard lucassen 03 Aug '18

03 Aug '18

Hello list, I use "Custom desktop" as windowmanager, I start the session with a script with the client name as parameter. In this way I'm able to find the client name of the station which /initialized/ the session. But is there a way to see which client /resumes/ an already existing session?

Debugging Server Side Issues
by Robert Dinse 01 Aug '18

I've installed x2goserver on Enso, a Ubuntu derived Linux. It works find as root, but as a non-root user it fails. In syslog on the server I see the following: Jul 28 18:44:08 enso /usr/bin/x2gostartagent: no free display number available, cannot start new session. Retrying (run 1).

execute xmodmap on resume
by richard lucassen 31 Jul '18

31 Jul '18

Hello list, Not an x2go problem, but maybe someone might be able to guess what is happening here. I made a chmod 755 shell script: $ cat /usr/lib/x2go/extensions/post-resume.d/010-xmodmap #!/bin/dash test -f ~/.Xmodmap || exit 0 /usr/bin/xmodmap -display $DISPLAY ~/.Xmodmap When resuming an x2go session, the script is executed, but x2go session starts but does not show up. The problem is that in one or another way, the xmodmap executable is waiting for something, but I have no idea what. Putting the xmodmap line to the background using an "&" makes the x2go session start, but the xmodmap mappings are not set. I still have to set the key mappings manually by invoking "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap". Anyone a hint on what's going on here? R. -- richard lucassen http://contact.xaq.nl/

If you are a novice X2Go user, and you can read German, this might be of interest for you.
by Stefan Baur 20 Jul '18

20 Jul '18

Hi List, X2Go has been covered by one of Germany's most well-known and well-renowned computer magazines, namely c't. The issue will hit the newsstands today, Saturday, July 21, 2018. It's the 16/2018 issue and the article starts on page 154. This article is meant for beginners; it covers the basics of setting up X2GoServer (on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS) and X2GoClient (on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS as well as on Windows 10), and shows you how to use X2GoClient's single application, published application, and desktop environment modes, as well as its built-in file sharing feature. It also teaches you how to kill, or suspend and resume, a session, and how to get better browser performance than with regular Firefox or Chrome. If you prefer to buy and/or read it online, there are several ways of doing so: You can click on <http://ct.de/y9y2>, where you can access the link list and comment section for free - so it's worth clicking even if you don't intend to buy the article/the magazine. If you scroll up on that page, you will find a button to buy the single article using a credit card, and another button for paypal payments. Scroll up even further, and you can read the teaser text for the article. Or, you can visit <https://shop.heise.de/ct_1coa1807> and sign up for a free three-issue digital subscription (Warning: It will turn into a paid subscription if you don't cancel it in time) of the full c't magazine, Last, you can buy the full c't magazine, limited to the current edition, no unwanted subscription, online, either in PDF form by clicking here <https://shop.heise.de/katalog/c-t-16-2018-pdf?wt_pdsrc=category_c_t_magazin…>, or in paper, delivered to your postal address, by clicking here <https://shop.heise.de/zeitschriften/ct/magazin>. Assuming sufficient reader interest, there may be follow-up articles covering: * the various connection options and connection types, * using SSH key files, SSH Agents, and 2FA with one-time passwords like Google Authenticator or OATH TOTP, * using SSH proxies (Jump Hosts) as well as HTTP proxies, * the use of custom published application menus, * Session Shadowing, * Xinerama, * the various clipboard and keyboard settings, * Desktop Icons, * Client-Side Printing, * X2Go-TCE, and, last but not least, * the Session Broker. So if you're interested in learning more about any of these topics, in German, please either register a free account and leave a comment in the comment section on <http://ct.de/y9y2>, or send an E-Mail to the editor we've been assigned, Merlin Schumacher, <mls(a)ct.de>, and let him know which X2Go topics you would like to see covered in one of the next editions. Kind Regards, Stefan Baur (who happens to be the author of the article) -- BAUR-ITCS UG (haftungsbeschränkt) Geschäftsführer: Stefan Baur Eichenäckerweg 10, 89081 Ulm | Registergericht Ulm, HRB 724364 Fon/Fax 0731 40 34 66-36/-35 | USt-IdNr.: DE268653243

disappearing X window
by Andrew Munn 19 Jul '18

19 Jul '18

When reconnecting to a session the window appears briefly then disappears. The ssh session is still up. The only way I can get back into the session is if I go in the client and change it to fullscreen and then reconnect.
