Hi all! :-D
<blah> Recently i'm taking my time to get my Personal Computers in a more useable and productive state. A very important part of this process/project is getting X2go to run on my systems. </blah>
After installing X2go on my main machine (details: see below) i wanted to use it, of course. But when trying to start a session via x2goclient i get no further than while connecting an error dialog appears with this messeage: "Please install this program as SUID x2gouser!"
So i thought: maybe there is an issue with the installation process of the packets, and some rights have to be adjusted manually afterwards. But the problem seems to be that a file called "x2gouser" is missing at all!?
$> dpkg -L x2goagent x2goclient x2goserver x2goserver-extension
| grep x2gouser
...gives nothing.
Any help/hints on this is very much appreciated.
Best wishes, happy hacking and greetings to Treuchtlingen & Kiel! Patrick
ps: I `frankensteined´ the "perl-suid" package from "squeeze" using "Depends: perl (>= 5.10.1), libc6 (>= 2.4), libperl5.10 | libperl5.12 | libperl5.14" and installed this manually to get "x2goserver" installed on wheezy/sid. But this will go into another thread. ;-)
And now some technical details about my system/intallation...
Distribution
System is Debian testing(Wheezy)/unstable; mainly testing due to "Apt::Default-Release testing". Other general/verbose info: o SSH-deamon is running (standard config) o respective users have been added to the group "x2gousers" o connection is made to 127.0.0.1:22 o RSA fingerprint is correct and was accepted

If you install on wheezy, please make sure to use the current nightly
builds, as they have a fix for this perl-suid dependency problem:
deb http://packages.x2go.org/debian wheezy heuler
Then do
apt-get update apt-get install x2go-keyring apt-get update apt-get x2goserver
The group x2gousers is obsolete with the new x2goserver version. So
currently, every user who can SSH to an X2go server can obtain an X2go
session.
Greets, Mike

Now i see... I read this as "Please install this program as SUID: x2gouser!", but it is to be read as "Please make sure that the file of *this* executable (x2goclient) has the SUID-bit set and the user set to 'x2gouser'!"
Is it of any value to rephrase that error-message in the "main" version? ...Or will Heuler replace "main" very soonish anyway?

apt-get update apt-get install x2go-keyring apt-get update apt-get x2goserver
I did "aptitude purge (...x2go-related-packages...)" and after changing "main" to "heuler" installed the packages again.
All went very well. Now i have a working X2go. Thanks a lot! :-D

All "x2go...."-groups were automatically deleted at purging. Convenient. :-)

YES, I highly recommend heuler to be moved towards ''main''.
And: /usr/lib/x2go/x2gsqlitewrapper (new path) is now installed SETGID
group. Also the error message has been removed completely.

GREAT! Mike
