Dear X2go users and team,
As it seems there is no easy solution to allow the X2Go session user have the same privileges in Ubuntu (when connecting via: connect with "Custom Desktop" Command: MATE) as a local user (i.e. via VNC)
Some issues can be solved via editing settings in
/var/lib/polkit-1 , for example to allow the remote user to access Network settings.
However, I did not manage to allow Seahorse to show / properly work with passwords when accessed during an X2Go session:
When accessing via VNC, network credentials can be edited and stored in Seahorse.
With X2Go access via connect with "Custom Desktop" Command: MATE , all these sections seem to be missing in Seahorse even though the same user is used, and Caja (the file manager in Mate) seems to requests a password for SMB access every time.
See attached screenshot.
Help would be much appreciated. How can Seahorse get the same privileges during that X2Go session as for a local session/VNC?
Thanks
