Hello,
Is X2goclient working on Mac OSX? I read some messages that there are keyboard problems. Not sure they are gone.
Here is such a message, with a link to another message: http://www.mail-archive.com/x2go-user-0fE9KPoRgkgATYTw5x5z8w <at>

When the problem is fixed, is this also the case for the Lenny version of X2go? (I have a customer with Macs who does not want to upgrade because the office will be closed in a few months.)
With regards, Paul van der Vlis.
Hi,
After one day struggling I could make it (thanks to Ricardo Diaz from this list) so maybe this can help some of you:
I installed X2go 3.99 to be found here : http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-macosx/x2goclient/releases/ on Mac OSX 10.6.8
I installed kubuntu on my Ubuntu 14.04 Amazon Ec2 instance (thanks to http://www.enqlu.com/2014/03/how-to-install-kde-4-12-on-ubuntu-14-04-lts.htm...): sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
Then I installed X2Go on the instance following the directions of the X2Go website: sudo apt-get install python-software-common sudo add-apt-repository ppa:x2go/stable sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install x2goserver x2goserver-xsession
However, I had to replace the first line by : sudo apt-get install software-properties-common (thanks to : http://askubuntu.com/questions/422975/e-package-python-software-properties-h...)
Finally I configured a new X2Go session from the Mac, using the login and key I have for this particular instance, and leaving the default settings of the keyboard, which were "us" and "pc105/us" although my Mac keyboard is german...
As a result, I could connect to the instance and the keyboard works, it is german even in the remote desktop.
Good luck!
