Hi all! :-D

<blah> Recently i'm taking my time to get my Personal Computers in a more useable and productive state. A very important part of this process/project is getting X2go to run on my systems. </blah>

After installing X2go on my main machine (details: see below) i wanted to use it, of course. But when trying to start a session via x2goclient i get no further than while connecting an error dialog appears with this messeage: "Please install this program as SUID x2gouser!"

So i thought: maybe there is an issue with the installation process of the packets, and some rights have to be adjusted manually afterwards. But the problem seems to be that a file called "x2gouser" is missing at all!?

$> dpkg -L x2goagent x2goclient x2goserver x2goserver-extension
| grep x2gouser ...gives nothing.

Any help/hints on this is very much appreciated.

Best wishes, happy hacking and greetings to Treuchtlingen & Kiel! Patrick

ps: I `frankensteined´ the "perl-suid" package from "squeeze" using "Depends: perl (>= 5.10.1), libc6 (>= 2.4), libperl5.10 | libperl5.12 | libperl5.14" and installed this manually to get "x2goserver" installed on wheezy/sid. But this will go into another thread. ;-)

And now some technical details about my system/intallation...

Distribution

System is Debian testing(Wheezy)/unstable; mainly testing due to "Apt::Default-Release testing". Other general/verbose info: o SSH-deamon is running (standard config) o respective users have been added to the group "x2gousers" o connection is made to 127.0.0.1:22 o RSA fingerprint is correct and was accepted
