Hi Tim-Ole,
Note: the list language is English... I have stripped off some
contents and will translate the core questions into English and answer
them. For the answer aspects you addressed in your mail, I am not
quite sure how to proceed. If you repost it in English, I will be
happy to answer your questions in detail. Another option I could offer
is IT professional consulting via telephone (and/or remote desktop).

Deswegen die wirklich ernst gemeinte Frage: gibt es irgendwo X2go im
Produzktioveinsatz?
TRANSLATED: Therefore my really seriously meant question is this: is
there any project that uses X2go productively.
Mike: I personally use X2go productively as a system administrator. In
all networks I administrate there is one desktop workstation that runs
x2goserver. I use GNOME or LXDE to access the network components from
this X2go server. I install x2goserver from the new squeeze repos and
everything works out of the box (sqlite). As clients I use x2gocleint
I also work for a company in the Netherlands that uses X2go for
full-featured SaaS. They sell the usage of a very special application
to offices by providing these apps via X2go. For this company (and for
the rest of the world) I have recently contributed another client
called PyHoca-GUI.
Mit einer Infrastruktur aus Feld-, Wald- und Wiesen-Debian, Ubuntu,
Windows XP? Wobei wir eine der Hauptkriterien - die
Verbindungsmöglichkeit von IGEL-Clients aus - noch gar nicht
getestet haben, ich kann mir im Moment nicht vorstellen, dass der
Netboot funktioniert, wenn schon keiner der Clients brauchbar ist.
I am currently also establishing a concept for using X2go in schools
(under Skolelinux). AFAIK Heinz and Alex have done that for schools,
as well, however, only under Debian lenny. I currently focus on Debian
squeeze and esp. on the X2go Thin Client Environment. The TCE
development is also heavily supported by Moritz from Univ. of Erlangen.
Im Gegenzug helfen wir gerne aus mit Dokus schreiben, Webspace zur
Verfügung stellen, Spenden zahlen - aber es sollte doch irgendwo
eine halbewgs brauchbare Installationsmöglichkeit für X2go geben?!
Im Moment kann sich das hier bei uns niemand vorstellen :-(
TRANSLATED: As an exchange we are willing to support with writing
documentation, providing Webspace, donate money - but there should be
a sort of usable installation method for X2go?! Currently, no one in
you team can imagine such a method. :-(
Basically, there has been quite some change in the team structure of
the project that might have lead or lead the situation you have
described in your mail (in German):
(a) 4 computer scientists from University of Erlangen have joined the project team (b) I also have joined the project team and contributed new code (Python) that relates to X2go (c) development has moved (and is still moving) over to Git based development (d) code repository, package repository, wiki etc. have changed hosting and technology (esp. package building)
Technically, due to different contributions there also have been
changes in concepts and code:
(a) due to security issues the x2goserver code underwent a complete rewrite;
for database setup - after taking a look at /etc/x2go - now use:
x2godbadmin --createdb
(b) x2goserver-one and x2goserver-home are obsolete, use x2goserver package
instead. The default installation will be an sqlite based x2goserver.
For PostGres mode you have to configure the database part manually.
This, unfortunately, still lacks documentation
(c) x2goclient-gtk is deprecated. The development will focus on x2goclient
(qt4)
(d) the new X2go Thin Client Environment (for squeeze) is currently under
heavy construction. I have a already 90% working setup under a
Skolelinux
test installation up and running. I currently also have a little project
with another company running that have asked for an X2go TCE
which I will
provide them in a week or so...
We probably should take your criticism very seriously with respect to
the mass of changes that have occurred recently and the lack of
transparent documentation for these changes in our Wiki.
Hope that some of the given information is useful to you, Mike
