Dear X2go users and team,
As it seems there is no easy solution to allow the X2Go session user have the same privileges in Ubuntu (when connecting via: connect with "Custom Desktop" Command: MATE) as a local user (i.e. via VNC)
Some issues can be solved via editing settings in
/var/lib/polkit-1 , for example to allow the remote user to access Network settings.
However, I did not manage to allow Seahorse to show / properly work with passwords when accessed during an X2Go session:
When accessing via VNC, network credentials can be edited and stored in Seahorse.
With X2Go access via connect with "Custom Desktop" Command: MATE , all these sections seem to be missing in Seahorse even though the same user is used, and Caja (the file manager in Mate) seems to requests a password for SMB access every time.
See attached screenshot.
Help would be much appreciated. How can Seahorse get the same privileges during that X2Go session as for a local session/VNC?
Thanks

Dear Ulrich, Running the command sudo apt autoremove --purge dbus-user-session, as you suggested, does not solve the issue. Just to be clear: When connecting via X2Go with Session type : Local Desktop the issue is not present. Equally via VNC. Only when connecting via X2Go via
*"Custom Desktop" this will start a NEW session and results in different permission issues, including Seahorse not showing passwords.*
*Help would be much appreciated.*

Yes, I am aware of that. The point is: somehow polkit is able to distinguish between local and remote session. The link I posted suggested to remove dbus-user-session because that's is the component setting the "local" flag - at least that's what I deducted from that posting. It might be that it does not solve the issue, but it could be interesting to find out if it changes the general behaviour. E.g. it could be that after removing the package it also stops working for local sessions. Which would point us to examining what the package changes and if that change can be further extended to also work for x2go sessions.

In Fedora 30, I don't even seem to have this package, but still have the issue.

Ducky, Try the following: In the terminal, type:
gnome-keyring-daemon --replace –components=secrets Then reopen Seahorse and please check.
If that works, then add in Startup Applications as a Command (if the folder is the same as mine)
/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --replace –components=secrets
Let us know if that did the trick. For me it did, even though I must admit, not being a Linux expert, I am not sure exactly what happened/ where the difference lies.
Fact is that I already had the command "gnome-keyring-daemon --start –components=secrets" in the startup applications, But only the command above did the trick.
Could somebody explain why?
Hope that heps Ducky as well.

I'm having the same problem with TigerVnc as with x2go.
Neither sees default keyring. On 10/13/19 11:53 AM, Alexanderstr Miete wrote:

Thank you!
We'll see what happens when I access it locally after this, though, as I imagine it will upset my local session.
If it does upset your local session, try a script file that checks for the presence of X2Go-specific variables (unless you're running in published or possibly single application mode; they're absent there, AFAIK).
Something like:
#!/bin/bash if [ -n "$X2GO_SESSION" ] ; then # this will be executed only if we're # inside an active X2Go session gnome-keyring-daemon --replace –components=secrets fi

I am having issues with it with my local session, sometimes forcing me to have to reboot local session(not simply log out), in order to get local computer to be able to use evolution again.
Any ideas?

Open a shell inside the X2Go session, start evolution from there, check what error messages it throws.

It won't show the error there, as it works fine in x2go.
It stopped working fine in the local session when I use this x2go -secrets method regularly.
Sometimes I have to reboot to get it working locally.

Well, then open the shell in a local session and see what error message you get when you try to run evolution there.

Gmail has no option not to top post, sorry.
That being said, there is no error when running it in a local session. That's the problem. However, when I open evolution, it says "failed to connect" for various reasons, such as timeout was reached, failed to authenticate: timeout was reached, etc.
The only way I can use evolution without a reboot is to do it through x2go, where I have it do that gnome-keyring-daemon line.
It seems I can't easily use evolution at local machine and x2go without the other having an issue.

Man, this is driving me crazy. If I use your solution, everything works fine through x2go, and I'm always prompted for keyring password. But when I go back to local machine, I have the same problem with evoluton that I used to have with x2go UNTIL I reboot. I can't get access to keyring, even if I log out and back in. The only thing that fixes it is rebooting.
