We might be able to mirror.  We're running flat out for time getting the
new company up and running but, if someone can provide a simple how-to
to set it up, we can try to squeeze it in.  Are there any estimates on
disk/bandwidth requirements? Thanks - John

Re: [X2go-dev] Bouncing firefox plugin

2010-07-26 Thread contact

Quoting "John A. Sullivan III" :


We have had some complaints from clients in the last few days where they
have installed a fresh copy of firefox and then the latest plugin and
the login screen bounces up and down unusably.  That is, the blue login
area drops below the black background and then back up again.


I've already seen this, on a vista 15" laptop. But I can't verify right now.


There is apparently some known issue with the latest Firefox on sub-10"
screens where this is a problem with Firefox.  However, one client has
experienced it on two normal sized laptops and we've not heard about the
Firefox problem affecting those.


From my side :

On my Dell mini9 with Ubuntu x2go doesn't work, the window appears but  
isn't refreshed.


On a 17" laptop running windows 7 the session crash really often, it's  
totally unusable.


And as already said, on a 15" laptop the blue screen go down. But in  
my case, it doesn't bump, just go down and stay here. And if we start  
the session, the session itself go down.


I don't know how to avoid this, but perhaps you can use ssh-key ?

Re: [X2go-dev] load balancing/LDAP

2010-07-26 Thread Philipp Huebner
Hey,

I would also like to know how load balancing works and how much effort
it is to set it up.
Or is it already up and running after having followed the documentation
for the full x2goserver installation?

Regards,

Thanks, that's great.

I haven't had much time lately. Will try to catch up with x2go-development and 
building new packages.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix or workaround? Thanks -

Thanks. That makes perfect sense.  We were just hoping to find one that
could be drop shipped off-the-shelf and work without creating a custom
image. I've been following up the two leads Heinz sent and we'll see
what we find - John
