Mike,

I am using Unity. I switched to GNOME classic and the icon appeared on the taskbar. Of course, the X2go session, once connected still didn't show up in a window, just as I had mentioned in 10.10, but it did say connection successful.

When I switched over to Unity, however, since Unity doesn't include the system tray, there is no icon. I tried the extension "Confity" to enable the system tray, however it still did not show anything for the Py Hoca icon. I believe there's a different way to manage notifications in Unity than the applets/sys tray icons in GNOME so we may have to look at that if we want to use Py Hoca going forward on Ubuntu. I was able to get the GTK client to run in Unity though, so that's what I'm using now.

Neil

I know Mike got X2go server running on Ubuntu 11.04 Natty. I haven't been
able to do that yet but that's not my particular concern at the moment. I
was wondering if anybody has used X2go client (either standard GTK client or
Py Hoca) on an Ubuntu Natty desktop machine. I am trying to use Py Hoca

What desktop shell are you using? Unity? Or GNOME classic? Please try with GNOME classic, first. Make sure you have the Info Tray enabled (the applet area that network manager, padevchooser, gnome-power-manager etc. dock to). PyHoca-GUI should appear there as another icon.

With Unity then, you should make sure to have this same applet/info tray available...


pyhoca-gui[5662] (PyHoca-GUI) WARN: the current release of PyHoca-GUI does
not support client configuration

This line is normal!!!! It just warns you, that there is still a programme component missing in PyHoca-GUI... Nothing to worry about. If you do a

 $ cd /usr/bin
 $ ./pyhoca-gui

in a shell, then the option menu item ,,Client Settings'' is not greyed out anymore, you are warned that pyhoca-gui runs in development mode etc. This way of running pyhoca-gui is not recommended (as it will raise some more python exceptions that are normally silent -> needed by myself for debugging...).


The logo pops up in the middle of the screen, but then nothing shows up
anywhere. I see the process running, but I can't find any icon indicating
it's running. Has anyone tried this successfully?

Look for the info tray! Once you have a solution, sign up for the X2go wiki and place it at an appropriate place, e.g.:
http://wiki.x2go.org/pyhoca-gui

Thanks,
Mike
