Okay, I'll admit I didn't look at the list, and NoMachine has started
work on compositing desktops, I don't know how they are going about it.

     What I do know is that I had this problem with Mint and other OS's that
used compositing desktops and in every case Mate' worked with X2Go (and NX).
I've read other people got it to work with Gnome classic but I had no luck
with that and really prefer Mate anyway.

Hi Robert,
Nomachine claims to work with it (I tried and it does - ish), and in fact
Cinnamon is also in x2go list to choose.
Cinnamon support is also in latest changelog, so I suppose there must be a
way.

Btw I have also Mate and it did exactly the same, however I enabled desktop
sharing from cinnamon, so that might be the reason.

I come from xrdp madness, so I know a bit the issue with cinnamon and not
mate.

(on Mint) it will work (that's what I am using to get to my Mint server).

Hi,
I am trying to connect a Windows 7 machine to a Mint/Cinnamon server with
desktop sharing enabled.

I see the ssh connection apparently successful from auth.log:
Nov 11 17:57:42 myPC sshd[31369]: Accepted keyboard-interactive/pam for
myUser from 10.0.0.5 port 49481 ssh2
Nov 11 17:57:42 myPC sshd[31369]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened
for user sms1\dcostantini by (uid=0)

If I try a wrong password it fails, so up to SSH all seems ok.

But the client shows nothing, it is greyed out (but seems not frozen) and
I
can only close the window.

Is there some log on the client? Maybe I can find the blocker there and
report for more help.
I read that Cinnamon was an issue but it should be working now, right?

Thanks,
Diego
