It looks like the above mentioned patches for shared database and
VServer are stuck awaiting moderator approval because of size.  That's
why they did not appear first. Thanks - John

[X2go-dev] How X2Go works

2010-06-10 Thread John A. Sullivan III
Since we are not developers, we struggled to gain an understanding of
just how X2Go works under the covers  - what is it doing from a system
administrators perspective when a client connects, suspends, or
terminates.  Thus, I've attached my notes on what I have found.  I have
no idea if they are helpful or even accurate but here they are for what
they are worth.  Any corrections are most appreciated.  Thanks - John

[X2go-dev] Single CUPS server for multiple X2Go Servers

2010-06-10 Thread John A. Sullivan III
Here are patches and documentation for using a single CUPS server for
multiple X2Go Server - very handy in highly virtualized environments.
It requires the shared database patch just sent to the list and the
database modifications contained in the VServer patches just posted.
The explanation is in the documentation.  Thanks - John

[X2go-dev] Local share rights

2010-06-10 Thread John A. Sullivan III
Hello, all.  We're getting some complaints from Windows users who are
using the X2Go client local share facility.  When they view the local
file system from their X2Go desktop, they frequently see highly
restrictive permissions - frequently 000.  Has anyone else noticed this
problem? I'm a Windows ignoramus.  Is there a way to change the local
file system so it saves files with more X2Go friendly permissions?
Thanks - John
