Hi,

I have been trying to get X2go working for over a month now without success. The last two requests for help on this list have not been answered. Do you folks recommend that I move on to another solution or continue to wait? I have used NX on Fedora and was very pleased, so I would like to stick with an NX protocol. I am now on Ubuntu and NX is no longer active while X2go is (active doesn’t mean much though if it doesn’t work).

Recommendations?

Michael

What version of Windows client are you using?

[Michael] : version 3.99.0.4

What is KFCE? If you selected "GNOME" in the client, how can it know to start KFCE?

[Michael] I hadn’t thought about that. I thought it knew from your login profile which DE you used.

Did you mean XFCE?

[Michael] Sorry, XFCE yes

I still use the 3.01-13 client, since all the newer ones have various problems. But even with those problems, I can still connect with the newer versions. I just tested 3.99.0.4, and I could connect (but it still have problems, most notably it freezes when trying to play most youtube videos).

Anyway, I use XFCE, and I choose "Custom" in the client, and give it the command "/usr/bin/startxfce4" and it gives me almost the same startup messages as you posted, but it does connect and allow me to use the desktop normally (except all the clients have a bug where it sets the Windows window size too small when you choose a custom resolution, say 800x600, the windows client sets the outer dimensions of the window to 800x600 but of course the windows title bar takes up 25-30 pixels, so the window ends up being too small to display an 800x600 desktop).

[Michael] Tried that, no change

I wonder why the client does not have XFCE as an option.

[Michael] That would be nice
