Hello, I was hoping to jump from freeNX to x2go remote desktop for my Arch and Ubuntu based machines. But I have some problems connecting to x2go service as normal user.
For a test drive I have installed x2goserver-one on Arch based server, and x2goclient on my Arch notebook. The server is working fine as I can ssh to it without any problems. I can even connect to x2goserver when the client is run with root priviliges (sudo x2goclient). Unfortunately running x2goclient and trying to connect to server with my normal priviliges (of course with same session configuration as from root) fails:
- main x2goclient window does show connecting status after giving login creditials, and all buttons are greyed out
- the remote desktop window does not show up at all
On both occasions I'm connectiong with same creditials. I'm not using any userdefined configuration files, so both root and my user share same ssh configuration. On console the only difference is that on root account there is line saying that nxproxy is starting, which is not showing on normal account.
If any detailed information is needed, just let me know how to get it and I'm going to send it to You. I really hope that we can solve this strange problem together. _<snip> Just a quick thought. Is there any chance root is using bash and regular users are using dash as their shell? I know very little about Arch but, until the X2Go Server side scripts specify /bin/bash instead of /bin/sh, they will fail on dash shells. Good luck - John

Hello Zbyszek
Are you certain that your user is a member of the x2gousers group?
perhaps your user also needs to be a member of other groups on Arch
linux. I belive Arch linux has a wiki on their site
