Hi Mike,

I submitted the bug (with a patch :-) ) a little while ago.

Hi Matthew,

can you report this (under your name) to X2Go BTS? http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:bugs

This has to be fixed upstream in x2goserver-xsession!

Thanks, Mike

Sean:

We had this exact problem when rolling out X2Go. Since X2Go doesn't actually spawn a login session, /etc/profile doesn't get sourced (and neither does ~/.profile).

To fix this for all users, we added a script in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90read_profile that looks like this:

# Source /etc/profile and $HOME/.profile # This should fix path issues in X2Go sessions if [ -r /etc/profile ]; then source /etc/profile fi if [ -r $HOME/.profile ]; then source $HOME/.profile fi

To do this for just one user, you could theoretically put this same script in $HOME/.xsession - I haven't tried this myself.

I hope this helps.

user profile not loaded on login to remote ubuntu machine, x2go server with gnome-fallback-session

Hi all,

Last night I setup the x2go qt-client and server on my home and work ubuntu 12.04/Unity machines.

Connection speed is great, and I am able to login mostly without trouble, except, my login user profile (found at .profile) is not loaded, meaning of course that none of the items i need to be on my PATH can be found.

As a work-around, I simply load it manually (source ~/.profile) and restart any applications using the current profile (nautilus, terminals etc).

However, i'd prefer not to have to implement this work-around, if there is a way to properly fix it, or have some automated process load it for me.

FYI, i've installed x2goserver and x2goserver-xsession on the server, and the QT4 x2goclient on the client.

Does anyone have any idea?

Kind Regards,

Sean

Hi Matthew,

just saw your reply now. I had actually already tried sourcing .profile from the .xsession file .. It didn't work. Frustratingly, I also did not get results from sourcing it from 90read_profile. So, i'm still researching. Thanks for the hope though! ;)
