All,
I know Mike got X2go server running on Ubuntu 11.04 Natty. I haven't been able to do that yet but that's not my particular concern at the moment. I was wondering if anybody has used X2go client (either standard GTK client or Py Hoca) on an Ubuntu Natty desktop machine. I am trying to use Py Hoca client right now on my Natty computer, but when I launch PyHoca I get: administrator@ubuntu-kiosk-7:~$ pyhoca-gui pyhoca-gui[5662] (PyHoca-GUI) WARN: the current release of PyHoca-GUI does not support client configuration
The logo pops up in the middle of the screen, but then nothing shows up anywhere. I see the process running, but I can't find any icon indicating it's running. Has anyone tried this successfully?
Thanks, Neil

What desktop shell are you using? Unity? Or GNOME classic? Please try
with GNOME classic, first. Make sure you have the Info Tray enabled
(the applet area that network manager, padevchooser,
gnome-power-manager etc. dock to). PyHoca-GUI should appear there as
another icon.
With Unity then, you should make sure to have this same applet/info
tray available...
pyhoca-gui[5662] (PyHoca-GUI) WARN: the current release of PyHoca-GUI does not support client configuration
This line is normal!!!! It just warns you, that there is still a
programme component missing in PyHoca-GUI... Nothing to worry about.
If you do a
$ cd /usr/bin $ ./pyhoca-gui
in a shell, then the option menu item ,,Client Settings'' is not
greyed out anymore, you are warned that pyhoca-gui runs in development
mode etc. This way of running pyhoca-gui is not recommended (as it
will raise some more python exceptions that are normally silent ->
needed by myself for debugging...).

Look for the info tray! Once you have a solution, sign up for the X2go
wiki and place it at an appropriate place, e.g.:
http://wiki.x2go.org/pyhoca-gui
Thanks, Mike

Mike,
I am using Unity. I switched to GNOME classic and the icon appeared on the taskbar. Of course, the X2go session, once connected still didn't show up in a window, just as I had mentioned in 10.10, but it did say connection successful.
When I switched over to Unity, however, since Unity doesn't include the system tray, there is no icon. I tried the extension "Confity" to enable the system tray, however it still did not show anything for the Py Hoca icon. I believe there's a different way to manage notifications in Unity than the applets/sys tray icons in GNOME so we may have to look at that if we want to use Py Hoca going forward on Ubuntu. I was able to get the GTK client to run in Unity though, so that's what I'm using now.

Could I delegate this task to you? It would be gourgeous if you could
find out how the info tray is handled in Unity...
PyHoca-GUI uses wxPython 2.8.1 which bases on GTK2+ (I think). There
should be other appications having the same issue. And there probably
is a solution for all of these...
Let me know if you accept the task ;-), otherwise I have to put your
issue on my (long) todo list.
Greetings, mike

Mike, I'd love to get involved as soon as I'm able. However, even if I'm able to start learning Python, I have a few higher priority items:
- getting the PyHoca GUI running at all, even on Ubuntu 10.10 (Still does not actually bring up the window once connected)
- getting PyHoca GUI running on mac
- getting x2goserver running on Ubuntu 11.04 using Unity using any x2go client and then, it would be getting the PyHoca GUI running on Ubuntu 11.04 client.
I'll see if I can take a further look at some of this stuff within the next week or two.

Great!!!
However, even if I'm able to start learning Python, I have a few higher priority items:
- getting the PyHoca GUI running at all, even on Ubuntu 10.10 (Still does not actually bring up the window once connected)
Please run the GUI in --libdebug mode from the command line and send
the log output to me privately. Maybe that gives a hint.
- getting PyHoca GUI running on mac
Ohohoh... That's a real mission. Nobody has ever tried that so far...
- getting x2goserver running on Ubuntu 11.04 using Unity using any
x2go client
It works with Unity-2d-launcher... I am currently working on the docs
(making not as much progress as I would like)...
and then, it would be getting the PyHoca GUI running on Ubuntu 11.04 client.
That is from within the Unity shell. I am mostly Debianic, so if you
can contribute on the Ubuntu side that would be awesome!
I'll see if I can take a further look at some of this stuff within the next week or two.
Wonderful!!!
Mike
