The x2goplugin is an firefox plugin and uses the xpi (firefox addon)
installation routine. It makes it possible to embedd x2go session into
websites itself or to show them outside the browser in an own window.
Sessions can be resized - even inside the website - for example inside a
resizeable div/div
It is executed in userspace. All components will be inside the
extensions directory. It will be listed as add on and can easily be removed.
It'll be available for windows 32 and linux 64 and 32 bit. I don't know
at the moment if the macOS version will be possible - maybe as a reduced
version (no pulseaudio, no website embedding,...)
The configuration can be delivered via the webserver (as an *.x2go file)
and every feature of x2go is supported (bidirectional audio, sshfs,
x2goprint,...).
We'll provide a *.js file which can ask the user to install the plugin.
As it is at the moment not possible to host the plugin (only add ons)on
the mozilla site, we'll make it accessible on our site.

I hope this will help - feel free to ask again.

best regards,

[X2go-dev] Nothing to do with X2go - Question about X11 terminal

2010-05-16 Thread Johnson Lukose

Dear Sirs, may I post a question regarding a non-x2go issue?

If it is ok, here is my query;
I have Linux Mint 8 (Helena / Ubuntu 9.10) installed on my desktop at home.  A 
friend of mine was clearing his office and gave me a piece of Wyse Winterm 
WT5420XL.  I grabbed it with the view of connecting this thin client to my 
desktop so that my family can access the desktop.

I thought it was plug and play but it is not so.  I don't know where to begin / 
how to get started.  

I looked at http://www.wyse.com but WT5420XL was not even listed in the product 
range!  The firmware is Winterm 5000 series / V1.0.6 (Build 407).  The closest 
is WT5440XL.  Anyway, the website has only references of hooking up to Citrix 
or similar high priced thin client server environments.  There is no reference 
of hooking up to a standard Linux Mint / Ubuntu desktop, for any of their 
products in their product range.

I am connected to the internet via an Aztech ADSL (4-port + Wifi) router-modem. 
 This Aztech router-modem is the DHCP server.  I connected the WT5420XL to this 
router-modem.  My desktop is 192.168.1.100, the WT5420XL is 192.168.1.101

In the WT5420XL Terminal Properties / Network I selected Obtain an IP address 
from a DHCP server.  When I click to Terminal Properties / SysInfo I can see 
that in the TCP/IP Settings the IP Address is 192.168.1.101, Gateway 
192.168.1.1 (Aztech router-modem).

In /etc/gdm/custom.conf the setting is as follows;

# GDM configuration storage

[xdmcp]
Enable=true
DisplaysPerHost=2

[chooser]

[security]

[debug]

[daemon]
TimedLoginEnable=false
AutomaticLoginEnable=false
TimedLogin=johnson
AutomaticLogin=johnson
TimedLoginDelay=30

In the Winterm Connection Manager / Configure I click on Add / New Connection 
and select X Connection.  In Winterm Connection Manager / Configure / XSetup / 
Start I select Remote Desktop Mode.  In Winterm Connection Manager / 
Configure / XSetup / Connect I select XDMCP-Query and for XDMCP Server I enter 
192.168.1.100.  And I give this the Title Linux1.

In In the Winterm Connection Manager / Connections I click on Linux1, the 
screen goes into blackwhite mode than a few seconds later the error box 
Xconnection error / No respond from XDMCP server. appears.  Clicking OK will 
bring me back to the Winterm Connection Manager screen.

I have been searching the web and stumbled across x2go's website.

If this is not an appropriate question here, please point me to a relevant 
forum.

thanks.

[X2go-dev] Firefox Plugin (was Desktop Sharing

2010-05-16 Thread Jo-Erlend Schinstad
I thought this was important enough to open a new thread.

And you actually do mean the NX session, not just the login/installer
dialog like NX Web Companion? Wow. :)

 It is executed in userspace. All components will be inside the
 extensions directory. It will be listed as add on and can easily be removed.
 It'll be available for windows 32 and linux 64 and 32 bit. I don't know
 at the moment if the macOS version will be possible - maybe as a reduced
 version (no pulseaudio, no website embedding,...)

It would be nice to have Mac OS too, but it's not very important to
me. But you're saying PulseAudio would work nicely in Windows as well,
so you can use two-way audio for VoIP, etc?

 The configuration can be delivered via the webserver (as an *.x2go file)
 and every feature of x2go is supported (bidirectional audio, sshfs,
 x2goprint,...).

Then I could make it so that the user only sees a password prompt, or
could I even make it so that as long as they're logged into my website
using OpenID, then the session would start automatically?

 We'll provide a *.js file which can ask the user to install the plugin.
 As it is at the moment not possible to host the plugin (only add ons)on
 the mozilla site, we'll make it accessible on our site.

Would it also be possible to host the plugin on our own apache sites
without too much trouble?

 I hope this will help - feel free to ask again.

Thank you, just one more thing. When will it be available, and can you
please make it yesterday? :) This sounds awesome!

Thanks again.

Re: [X2go-dev] Nothing to do with X2go - Question about X11 terminal

2010-05-16 Thread Paul van der Vlis
Hello,

I expect you can netboot with the device. But you need a tftp server and
your own DHCP server for that. Read about it, X2go offers what you want.

GDM/XDMCP is the wrong way. X2go don't uses it. That's for LTSP.

With regards,
Paul van der Vlis.
