Hello,
I am trying to set up an x2go server with thin clients (debian wheezy). For the most part, the clients are working fine - the boot time and speed is astonishing even with the low-power server hardware I need to use.
Alas, there are a few important things I cannot get to work after days of googling and tinkering:
- mounting local drives on the thin clients
When I insert a cd-rom, a little eject button appears in the lower right corner of the screen. However, I cannot see the files on the disc in /home/<user>/media/cd
When I insert a FAT formatted USB stick, nothing (visible) happens. Only in the local console can I see that a device has been attached, but nothing is mounted, and nothing shows up in /home/<user>/media/disk
The x2gousbmount and x2gocdmanager are installed in the chroot, and <user> was added to the fuse group. Are there other prerequisite packages on the server that I could have missed?
- Sound on the thin clients doesn't work
- upon PXE boot, the sound card seems to be correctly detected; I checked alsamixer. Pulse connects correctly via TCP, but pactl lists no sound card. It seems that module-udev-detect fails to detect the sound card. I don't know how to get debug output because I cannot find where the actual command line (pulseaudio -D -n -L module-native-protocol-tcp [...] ) is generated in the chroot to add more debug output
PulseAudio Manager reports "Default Sink: not set"; "Default Source: not set".
Those issues are real showstoppers for a project I am trying to set up in Africa next week - I'd be really thankful for hints on how to solve them.
