Hello,
I have recently setup a multi user x2go server, and I think it works great.
I've got one issue though, that I would like to ask for help with or ideas about:
When creating a session in the client, there's a lot of settings to fill out, so to tell a user how to set their client up I need to send a fairly long email, and it doesn't seem as easy to the user as it is once they are set up.
With NX, I could copy a session settings file onto a CD along with the client software, tell the user to install the software and double click on the session file to login. They were then prompted only for username and password in a simple dialogue, and this was no bother at all to the user. (this was before NX4 was released with a very complicated user interface)
I'd like to do something similar - find a way to make sure the user doesn't have to set colours and image format, click fullscreen, click to enable audio, set the link speed etc. And I want it to work both for Windows and Linux users.
I've seen there's some other client software for x2go that I haven't tried, and maybe that's the solution - I will try shortly.
Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks :-)
Best Regards, Carl

I don't know which client software you tried, but for plain x2goclient, you can copy the ~/.x2goclient/sessions and ~/.x2goclient/sizes files. On Windows, this information is stored in the registry by default, but by specifying --portable on the x2goclient.exe command line, it will use the files instead of the registry, too.

Hi Carl,
You could consider using X2Go Broker. With that, the session config is handled on the broker-server. The client just needs to point to the broker-server.
