[X2Go-User] Advice needed on a somewhat working x2go configuration

[Yohan Bataille]

Hi,
I need a GUI application (RetroShare) to start on boot on my headless 
server (Debian Wheezy up to date with x2go repos)
and be available remotely. I got it working with the scripts below but 
it's cumbersome. Is it how it is supposed to be done ?

I only encounter two issues apart from the complexity :
-- x2goclient (v4.0.1.0 on my PC) resolution is ignored and Xvfb startup 
resolution (900x550) is used even after it has been killed.
-- Caps Lock cannot be used, because once it has been, it stays on.

Regards,
Yohan

scripts :

$ cat /etc/rc.local

su -l -c /home/yohan/launch_x2go.sh yohan

$ cat /home/yohan/launch_x2go.sh

#!/bin/bash
export DISPLAY=:1

# Xvfb is a framebuffer Xserver.
Xvfb :1 -screen 0 900x550x16 &
sleep 15
pyhoca-cli --server localhost -N -c LXDE --user yohan 
--add-to-known-hosts --password mypasswd --kbd-layout fr --kbd-type 
pc105/fr &
export DISPLAY=:51
sleep 20
lxterminal &
lxterminal &
/home/yohan/reboot_RS.sh &
sleep 240
pyhoca-cli --server localhost -S ALL --user yohan --password mypasswd &
sleep 10
killall Xvfb

Before killing Xvfb :
$ ps auxf
