Hello list, I'm researching about renewing existing Freenx-based infrastructure and I'm playing with x2go as alternative. Using Lenny's packages on ubuntu 10.10 there is a problem with keyboard layout indicator. Switching between layouts actually works but indicator on the panel shows an error icon, not country letters for the current layout. When I try to 'restore defaults' in the kbd- layout's settings, it throws some kind of generic error dialog with Xorg version and what to attach as debug info, etc. Tested with freenx and neatx, layout switching does not work at all, but there is no error indicated. With locally started X session everything is OK. Digging in, I've found that x2goagent (like nxagent from freenx-team) are build against xorg 6.9.0 and the current X in ubuntu is 7.5. Is it possible this older version to cause this problems and what about compiling whith newer xorg? What else can I do for debug? Can anyone confirm this problem?
Thanks.
Hi folks, Today I can answer myself. The problem is related with the keyboard type (e.g. pc-101,pc-105 etc.). When suspend, then resume session with different keyboard type, key mapping gets wrong and all other kbd related things are in trouble. Maybe this can be addressed somehow in the server/client code so it produce a warning or force setting the 'right' kbd type. This will be a problem for roaming users resuming their sessions from various computers.
