Has anyone had success with this? I downloaded the beta version and it wouldn't display. Since it's not using GNOME but rather Unity, is it expected to be compatible? There are definitely some features in Natty I'd like to start using. Please let me know if you have any tips, or if I can help with any testing.

could you check which command is needed to start a unity session? A
gnome session is started with the command ,,/usr/bin/gnome-session'',
a KDE session with ,,/usr/bin/startkde'' etc.
If you could send me the start-unity command (I have no time for
testing Natty currently), I can implement unity support in PyHoca-GUI
(and also check what it needs to provide unity support in x2goclient).
Greets, Mike

I was curious enough myself to take a look at the unity packages at
ubuntu.com and I have added Unity Desktop support to PyHoca-GUI.
It will be in the next release...

Mike,
Thanks a lot. Forgive my ignorance, but what is the PyHoca GUI? is this what powers the x2go client? Or is this something else?

it is an alternative X2go client written in Python. PyHoca-GUI is
designed as a very minimal GUI that behaves very similar to the
nm-applet (GNOME network manager). It is a small icon that dock to
your systray panel and allows you to manage multiple X2go sessions at
a time.

Thanks Mike. So is this looking like the future for the x2go client or just one alternative? Is there a windows and Mac version of the x2go python client? I'm excited to try it

No, it is just an alternative. Not at all a replacement!

There is a windows version: http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/pyhoca-gui/
and a linux version in my APT repositories.
If you know someone Pythonian with a Mac talk him/her into making
necessary changes to the code so that it runs on Mac.

As I have no Natty around the patch was untested. I was not aware of
unity being already on Wayland...
So I wil remove the patch again and there will not be any unity
support for X2go (and NX either).
Thanks John, for clarifying this...

Hold on! I was asking rather than stating :) I might be completely wrong. I assumed Unity was running on Wayland. For all I know, it could work fine - John
I have natty and can test anything you'd like. Unity is the direction ubuntu is using going forward so I really think we want to support it

I have now tested PyHoca-GUI with Unity on Ubuntu natty (nightly-build).
My first impression is: you surely do not want to have unity on your desktop!!! (My very personal yukkie impression). On a PC it feels very awkward... on a smartphone it might be nice, though, once it is possible.
So, here is a little howto how to play with PyHoca and Unity:
o wait for the next pyhoca-gui release and install it... o install x2goserver-one on Ubuntu natty o install the unity-2d package on Ubuntu natty (your x2goserver):
$ apt-get install unity-2do connect to the Unity X Desktop as configurable in PyHoca's profile manager
