Hello,
I have been using freenx for a few years, and have been looking for something better since freenx is no longer maintained and sound support is shaky. I was very glad to find the x2go project, specially since it works exactly like I imagine with diskless thin clients (I have to use USB sticks to boot my current clients for freenx).
Anyway, after being somewhat confused by the outdated info and repositories listed on x2go.org, I found the wiki and was able to install x2goserver (onto Ubuntu ) and configure a PXE thin client environment. To my surprise, the thin clients booted on the first attempt and x2goclient came up, which was very unexpected!
Now I have the following problem:
- I can login without problem from a windows x2goclient onto my ubuntu x2goserver
- however any attempt to login from the pxe booted thin clients fails.
The client displays (after starting nxproxy 3.5) Connecting to remote host 'localhost:33001' And then Connection timeout aborting
On the server I find these logs:
/usr/bin/x2goagent: line 1: -e: command not found
NXAGENT - Version 3.4.0

Session: Aborting session at 'Fri Dec 16 22:12:15 2011'. Session: Session aborted at 'Fri Dec 16 22:12:15 2011'.
I understand that there is some kind of callback procedure whereby the client connects to the server, and then the server connects back to the client, and this seems to be failing. I do not know how else to proceed.
In addition to version 3.99.0.2 of x2goclient and x2goplugin (which was the one installed by default in the chroot environment), I also tried version 3.99.0.3 from the unstable repository, and an older 3.01-21, all with no luck.
Any pointers would be appreciated.

I am wondering if your problem is on the server side. It seems like
you are using a very outdate x2goagent version.
If possible for you, please test our (still not final) new build of
libnx. So, on the server, please install from
deb http://packages.x2go.org/debian squeeze heuler
