Hi,
We have been trying to setup x2go in a windows environment. We want to use Ubuntu as our terminal server for internet surfing.
The idea is that users log on to their TS session with their windows credentials. We use likewise-open to join ubuntu to the windows network.
We have added the AD (active directory) group of users having permission to use the TS to the sudoers file like:
(Under the x2go section)
$DOMAIN\\group ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/x2gopgwrapper
We are using the windows client version 3.01-4.
Basically it works but we have two errors:
No sound
Mount folder fails with the error:
.. Could not find "/temp/DOMAINuser_media/folder" Please check the spelling
Please note the missing / between DOMAIN and user
In the client version 3.01-2, there was an option in the sound section to deselect the default port, if we did that, we had sound through. But that option is not available in the 3.01-4 version.
We have a firewall between the two networks, and have opened up tcp port 22 for ssh
Any ideas how to get this fully working?
Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.
Benjamin

Make sure you tunnel everything (sound/folder shares) through SSH.
Then you only need a single ACCEPT rule for your X2goClient subnet to
the X2goServer IP on your X2goServer's SSH port (22 by default). Make
sure your client boxes (Windows) individually allow incoming
connections on localhost (e.g. depending on the amount of users the
TPC/IP ports 30000-30099). Check your Windows firewall on each client
for this.

As far as I know, likewise-open utilizes Samba/Winbind
(libnss-winbind) for Unix integration into an AD domain. If you just
have one AD domain, I recommend getting rid of the domain component in
libnss user names completely. Refer to the samba option
winbind use default domain = YOURDOMAIN
(see smb.conf for this).
Especially Samba's default winbind separator (a '\' backslash
character between domain and username) is not really handy for
deriving path names in X2go. If you do not want to get rid of the
domain string completely, you might want to modify the winbind
separator (see smb.conf, as well).
Just some ideas, Mike

Ok, I give up on this one!
Thank you Mike anyway for taking time answering my post
Tried downloading the latest version of ubuntu (10.10) with likewise 6.0 integrated, but that is even worse! Cannot get the remote desktop at all, after the x2go black screen, everything turns black.
I can still logon with x2go using a local (ubuntu) user though.
Also, when setting the default domain to 'true' I can login to ubuntu just using my windows username.. that's ok. But when I logoff and logon as an ubuntu administrator, and try to type "sudo su" in the terminal, I get the error: unable to chache group domain\grouop, already exists
Then I have to reinstall...
So we may need to stay with windows terminal services for the moment.
I anyone got this working (x2go form windows, using your windows credentials so we do not have to recreate users/passwords on the ubuntu machine) I would very much like to know!
Benjamin
