Hi,
Firstly, well done to the team behind X2GO, excellent work, and hoping to get involved once we are up to speed...

We have noticed a number of problems with using LXDE on Ubuntu recently.

Initially, under a 12.04 (.3?) build ( 3.5 Kernel ), we had LXDE working fine/well, with the bindings etc correct. logout was fine.

12.04 got upgraded to 12.04.4 and the kernel moved to 3.8. LXDE still works, but the logout button/process doesnt work anymore. the session simply seems to reset, and stay active.

We have also tried a vanilla 13.10 server build ( 3.11 kernel ) , with  x2goserver, Same outcome. The only way to close the LXDE session, in both cases, is to exit the client.. When you log back in as the user, the original session is 'Suspended'.

Build Sequence ( in both cases )


# apt-get install xfce4 xfce4-goodies lxde lxpanel lxsession pcmanfm openbox lxde-common firefox zenity

# add-apt-repository ppa:x2go/stable

# apt-get update

# apt-get install software-properties-common python-software-properties x2goserver x2goserver-xsession x2golxdebindings

( Notice no ubuntu-desktop load, trying to keep the install clean and secure )

. Ive googled around, and have seen
- Problems with startlbuntu and lxde-session between versions
- systemd causing pam wrap and config to screw up ..


Has anybody else noticed this.. found a work around ?

BTW : 12.04 LTS Updated to 12.04.4.. became 13.04, and now ppa: x2go/stable doesnt have x2goserver packages available.

many Thanks for all support

Gary
