I always had problems with OSX and x2go. In my case it was on a fedora Fc20. I solved setting up English on the target machine and then providing a xmodmap keymapping. Did you try something like this?

- Keyboard problem with special characters #@ (Markus Gschwind)
Message: 1 Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2017 16:43:23 +0200 From: Markus Gschwind <markus.gschwind@gmail.com> To: x2go-user@lists.x2go.org Subject: [X2Go-User] Keyboard problem with special characters #@ Message-ID: <CABaUQnxZ=wiWqPxouKYVAX6YuUCDuEgJVR4ejf+pqnibYNjkGg@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Dear all,
I am getting myself comfortable with X2goclient. However, I cannot get the special characters in the remote environement (# @ etc., principally the AltGr functions).
I use the version X2Go Client v. 4.1.0.0 (Qt - 4.8.7) on a MacBook Pro mid 2012 running OSX ElCaptain 10.11.6 (15G1611) with a standard american keyboard which I have mapped CH_FR.
On the linux Side it is Centos6, where I have selected System => Keyboard => Layouts :
Keyboard model: MBP intel Mapping CH_FR Macintosh
How can I get that keyboard problem fixed?
Thank you very much! Best, Markus
I never got x2go working well on my Mac. The last time I've tried itI just got a black screen. I solved by setting up dual boot with Ubuntu and not using it from OSX.

Hi Ruben,
Thank you, this seems interesting.
I found the xmodmap file in my system under
/opt/X11/bin/
It says:
Create a keymap definition file using xmodmap on your local machine (the
client machine), *XQuartz might be necessary for having this command available. It's also necessary to use x2go by the way.*xmodmap -pke > osx-keymap
However, xmodmap is a binary file. How could I create one or modify one??
Thanks in advance! Best, Markus

I'm anything but a Mac expert, so maybe I'm completely off here ... but the text you quoted says you should *create* a keymap definition file *using* xmodmap. So, *run the command xmodmap* to *create the keymap definition file*. The last line you quoted even lists the exact command, I would say, so you should end up with a file "osx-keymap" *generated by* the xmodmap command.

Thanks Stefan,
Indeed it works now!!
I wasn't aware that xmodmap is a actually a program printing out the keyboard mapping.
I have now a file fix_keyboard.sh on the server's desktop which I run and then the keyboard it is working!!
Would it be possible to integrate this file to run in the X2go session directly?
Thanks again! Markus

Keyboard handling in NX is complicated for a couple of reasons. Keyboard handling in NX using MacOS is even more complicated. X2go already handles this for you.
However, you have been changing the keyboard settings in Gnome which kind of breaks that handling. You should never touch the keyboard from inside the session. Try to configure Gnome not to change keyboard (which might be impossible; at least it seems so on Centos7).
You could also try to disable the XKEYBOARD extension in x2goagent on the server by adding
-extension XKEYBOARD
to /etc/x2goagent/options (not sure about the exact filename, I do not have a x2go system at hand at the moment) and start a new session.

Yes, it’s correct. It’s an executable that manages keymappings. In particular with the command suggested in the link you extract your current keymapping on the osx system.
Let us know if you solve with that…

Hi Ruben,
Yes, as I wrote earlier, I solved it. The command
xmodmap -pke > osx-keymap
maps however the physical keyboard, not the virtual mapping!
But exactly as described in your link, it works now.
I start the fix_keyboad.sh script and I get the physical keyboard mapped!
Thanks again!
