Hi

It's really nice to see others that want to use this feature as well. Mike have done an excellent job on this, which we really appreciate. My company Fleten.net still have a strong focus on deliver remote Ubuntu desktops with the Unity-Greeter integration of X2Go. Right now we are seeking to get further development founded, and we will certainly join forces with anyone that have the same goals. Feel free to contact me in a private message.

Hello everyone...

After testing and beta-deploying X2Go services for some test users
(developers/qa/it - who really liked it), i was trying to implement the
x2go-broker into lightdm.

I followed the steps in http://blog.x2go.org/index.php/2013/04/28/289/.

First of all, "get-build-deps debian/control" seems to be replaced by
"mk-build-deps debian/control" ...

After compiling, installing and configuring i see the additional login
in lightdm.

Our Active Directory enabled (using likewise-open -> pam) broker
delivers https://x2go-broker.our.domain.com/uccs/inifile/api/4 , asks
for user/password and prints the json-object containing all configured
servers.

When lightdm starts, i can see some traffic between the machine and the
broker.

Logging in seems not to work, i've tested "test.account@intern",
"test.account@our.domain.com" and even a local test user (on the broker,
right?)

There is no communication between the broker and lightdm/unity-greeter
when trying to login.

How can i help you further? (debugging,..)

As this is a relly nice and seemless solution for our clients, i think
we cann afford some sponsoring there too.

regards

Thanks for testing the Unity-Greeter integration of X2Go.

The project is not actively developed without sponsoring. The initial code was sponsored by Fleten.net (a company from Denmark deploying X2Go in municipalities).

Together with the Fleten.net technicians I discovered several issues in the blog text, that I got addressed as comments on my personal blog [1]. Please check all comments, they may help with your observed issues.

Canonical Ltd. is generally interested in adding this feature to Unity Greeter upstream but they are also putting some technical demands on the development that I do not want to fullfill in my spare time (I don't really use Ubuntu myself, so I neither have a business nor private use case for the Unity Greeter integration). So, if you are interested in sponsoring the further development of this feature, I will be happy to continue working on it.

Thanks+Greets,
Mike
