[X2Go-User] x2go in TCE environment

[ECF Solutions]

Dear all,

maybe someone can give me a hint ...

I tried to set up a client server solution to replace LTSP. Some 
Background:
1) Server - 2 CPU -> 8 Core - 20 GB RAM - 1G Network / 2 NIC - Ubuntu 
14.04 LTS - VirtualBox
2) Client Futro S400 256 MB RAM or HP Thin Client HSTNC-012-TC (1 GB RAM)

I set everything up according to 
"http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:advanced:tce:install" in an 
virtualbox (actually 2 boxes - one as "server" one as "pxe-boot-server" 
- both Ubuntu 14.04 server minimal)

1) "sudo x2gothinclient_update" as well as "sudo x2gothinclient_create" 
both end with a message that he cannot follow / write to symlink - but 
seems this is a minor problem

2) when I start a client he gets an IP and boots into the menu - if I 
choose "Thin Clint..." he further boots into the chroot and finally I 
get a terminal to log in. Within the chroot I gave root a password and 
can login. With the command "startx x2goclient" the x2goclient is 
started and I can establish a session and connect to my 
application-server. So far so good - but

- I can't do this (because of x server errors as "normal user") - minor 
problem
- everything is terrible slow - big problem - LTSP is much much faster ...
- I can't change screen resolutions

I made the experience that x2go is a wonderful piece of software and 
when I connect to my company server from outside its nearly as fast as 
when I work in the office via LTSP... so I assume that I made mistakes 
?!? Any hints please? Why is it so unacceptable slow and I thought that 
I won't get a terminal and the clients would boot direct into the 
x2goclient window?
