We have been using x2go fairly successful on CentOS6 machines now for a while. We are investigating upgrading to CentOS7 and I am now looking at the x2go situation
We get our x2go RPMS from EPEL
x2goagent-3.5.0.31-1.el7.x86_64 x2goclient-4.0.3.1-1.el7.x86_64 x2goserver-4.0.1.19-3.el7.x86_64 x2godesktopsharing-3.1.1.1-1.el7.x86_64
So far we have not discovered
doesn't work at all with GNOME desktop giving the "Oops" screen. Web search seems to imply this is a known issue with GNOME3 with no real solution though I am suprised this is not mentioned in the X2Go wiki FAQ. I hate GNOME3 anyway so can live without it for X2Go
works partially with the KDE desktop. There is the kscreen issue that is mentioned in the FAQ. Really unusable unless one does disable kscreen. Need to investigate further what consequences that has on normal logins.
installed MATE from EPEL. On first login it looks and works great but when you "Logout ..." to terminate the session it just hangs on a blank background. If you "suspend" the session via force closing the window and then try to reconnect it fails or just takes you right back to the blank background. One can force terminate the session with x2goterminate-session to clear it out and then get a clean login again, but I don't really want my users having to go though this.
So my question is really about the MATE issue which I would prefer to use. Anyone have any clues as to what might be going on or a fix?
