Re: [X2Go-User] x2goserver ubuntu 14.10

2015-01-14 Thread Kristof Hardy
When using 14.04 I don't have this issue. It's only when using 14.10 that I
do.

The screenshot was on Xubuntu and indeed I now tried plain Ubuntu and
installed mate, it doesn't give me those errors.

After installing xfce (on plain Ubuntu), that error and "slightly different
look" of the desktop remains.


I'll be using mate for now.



Best regards,
Kristof.

 I'm using 14.04 and don't get either of those issues.  Are you sure you
are using the same desktop on both, that is Mate or KDE or whatever, is the
same both locally and when you come in over x2go?

I'm fairly new to x2go and I'm using x2goserver on Ubuntu 14.04 (with xfce

[X2Go-User] x2goserver ubuntu 14.10

2015-01-14 Thread Kristof Hardy
Hi all,

I'm fairly new to x2go and I'm using x2goserver on Ubuntu 14.04 (with xfce
and mate) and it's working pretty good. (aside from some problems with the
client on win8.1)

But when using Ubuntu(/Xubuntu) 14.10, it works but the
"layout/look-and-feel" is not the same as when I log into the console
directly. Also, I get a weird prompt (only when using x2go client) stating
"Authenticationis required to change your own user data". I suppose this is
due to the login over ssh. (don't get the error on the "console")

Any suggestions on how to fix/troubleshoot this? I'd be happy to give more
details/logs or test something.

You could file a wishlist bug for that, and see if one of our
volunteer devs picks up on it, or someone steps up and offers to fix
it for a price.

To do so, send an eMail to sub...@bugs.x2go.org,
subject: something descriptive, like "add cancel button for
'connecting' phase",
first two lines of the eMail must be ...
package: x2goclient
severity: wishlist

leave one blank line after that, just like I did here,
then add a description, e.g. you could just copy and paste the
paragraph of your eMail that I quoted above.

Well, ordinary users should not be able to shut down the server
remotely.  So for our regular use cases, this isn't an issue.

To shut down the server remotely, assuming you have sufficient
permissions, I would suggest the following script on the server (you
can place a shortcut to it on the desktop if you like), probably best
stored in /usr/local/sbin/ or /usr/local/bin/:

#!/bin/bash
(sleep 10 && poweroff) &
disown
x2goterminate-session

If the account you're using for X2Go remoting doesn't have sufficient
permissions to run the poweroff command, I suggest installing sudo (if
not already present) and setting it up in a way that your account may
run "poweroff" without having to authenticate first.  In that case,
you need to use
sleep 10 && sudo poweroff
inside the brackets in the above script.
(Note that I haven't tested this, but this is how it should work)

The sleep 10 && poweroff tells your server to wait 10 seconds before
it starts powering down.  The brackets and the ampersand cause the job
to run in the background.  The disown tells your server to keep
executing the backgrounded task even if the session disconnects.  The
x2goterminate-session is basically the suicide command for your
running X2Go session.

[X2Go-User] Client handling of downed server

2015-01-14 Thread Peter Brodsky

There are a couple of "features" I wonder might be addressable.

For example, I mistakenly try to open a session to a (linux) server 
which is not powered up, the (Windows) client simply sits and tries.   
There's no way to cancel.  Clicking on the small round on/off button in 
the session window (the rectangular one that lands in the left/blue 
area) does not take.  I simply have to wait until it times out.  Could 
this not be dealt with more actively? Obviously this is a "don't do 
that" kind of thing, but it does happen.


Also, if the server is shut down from the client window (which is the 
case for us because we're effectively headless), then the client "sort 
of" hangs again.  Trying to kill the active session window by clicking 
the red X in the upper right does nothing.  Eventually I get a notice 
that the server is incommunicado and asks if I want to terminate th 
current session.

Would be nice if there were a cleaner way to handle this.

Sorry for the nitpicks - this is still a very useful tool.

- Pete
