After installing X2go on my main machine (details: see below) i wanted to use it, of course. But when trying to start a session via x2goclient i get no further than while connecting an error dialog appears with this messeage: "Please install this program as SUID x2gouser!"
Now i see... I read this as "Please install this program as SUID: x2gouser!", but it is to be read as "Please make sure that the file of *this* executable (x2goclient) has the SUID-bit set and the user set to 'x2gouser'!"
Is it of any value to rephrase that error-message in the "main" version? ...Or will Heuler replace "main" very soonish anyway?
If you install on wheezy, please make sure to use the current nightly builds, as they have a fix for this perl-suid dependency problem:
deb http://packages.x2go.org/debian wheezy heuler
Then do
apt-get update apt-get install x2go-keyring apt-get update apt-get x2goserver
I did "aptitude purge (...x2go-related-packages...)" and after changing "main" to "heuler" installed the packages again.
All went very well. Now i have a working X2go. Thanks a lot! :-D
The group x2gousers is obsolete with the new x2goserver version. So currently, every user who can SSH to an X2go server can obtain an X2go session.
All "x2go...."-groups were automatically deleted at purging. Convenient. :-)
Best wishes, Patrick
