Re: [X2Go-User] Python3-x2go

[Seth Galitzer]

Yes, I spent some time chatting on IRC today and think I've figured out 
how to hack the configs in the image to allow it. I even tried to make 
it extensible so it can be used for additional params. I'd be happy to 
send you my patch. I have some other ideas on further customizable 
elements of the desktop, but will need to read up on Qt for those. 
Thanks for the help.

There's no option to do it with a simple boot parameter (yet), but we
could include that in the future. In the meantime, you could set up your
own TCE build environment and make the required changes, or take one of
our pre-built ones, and use unsquashfs, apply your changes, then use
mksquashfs again.

And again, let me remind you we're available for commercial support.
I.e. if you'd like to see the feature included as boot parameters in an
official TCE release rather sooner than later, we can offer that for a
price.

Save for that vendor's lock-in stupidity, it sounds straightforward enough.

Well, it depends how bad that "retraining" would be.
X2Go in TCE mode can serve as a frontend to xfreerdp for RDP and also to
Xephyr for XDMCP (that feature isn't in the stable release yet, but an
image based on a recent nightly build is available).

That way, when starting X2GoClient in fullscreen mode (as is the default
with TCE) there's just a few white tiles on the right that list the
various connections. No matter if they're X2Go, RDP, or XDMCP - all
share the same look.

You can deploy configuration (i.e. which tiles appear and which not)
either static via HTTP(S)/FTP, or using a simple server-side script for
TTP(S), or you can use the full-fledged session broker, which allows you
to define tile/session visibility depending on user name, group
membership, and IP range (plus the broker also does load balancing).

However, this frontend-only mode doesn't involve X2GoServer at all for
RDP and XDMCP connections, so there's no performance increase for these.

If you want to accelerate things for RDP and XDMCP, you need an
X2GoServer inbetween.

You could proceed just as described above, with individual tiles for
each remote server (now using the X2GoServer as an accelerating proxy
instead of connecting directly), or offer a minimal desktop (say, LXDE
or XFCE, or a trimmed-down MATE) from the X2GoServer machine, with the
desired connections as desktop shortcuts.

To get started, use a regular Linux machine (not a ThinClient), install
X2GoClient, configure a session. Make sure to use Public Key
authentication, run an SSH-agent, load your keyfile into it (don't
specify the actual keyfile in the session configuration, just check the
box that X2GoClient should attempt auto-login via SSH-Agent or Key). Try
if it works (clicking on the tile should then connect you to your
server, without asking for credentials).
If that works, log out of the session again. If you now see a login box
that prompts for username and password, click cancel. If not, just read on.
Look at the tile of the session you just configured. Depending on which
X2GoClient version you use, there's either a small grey
downward-pointing triangle or a "hamburger icon" like on an Android
smartphone in the lower left corner of the tile. Click "Create Session
Icon on Desktop". Note the little checkbox in the lower left corner of
that message.

If you examine the desktop link afterwards, you will see that X2GoClient
is called with
--hide --sessionid=20110913020213584
and optionally --tray-icon as well, if you checked the box mentioned
earlier. The sessionid number corresponds to the session in your
sessions file.  You can also use --session=SessionName instead.

(Double-)Click that desktop link and see if it does what you are looking
for - it should.

Now that you've got a working setup, you can deploy the sessions config
file and the "--"parameters to your clients.

Our TCE image - which does nothing more than fire up X2GoClient in
fullscreen mode, and some background stuff for audio and removable media
automounting - is currently about 200 Megabytes in size, rather than
2GB.  It uncompresses into a RAM disk when booting over the network.
With local storage, you don't need to load the entire image into RAM.

Well, with a fullscreen X2GoClient, there isn't much "skin" to brand -
you'd brand the desktop on the X2GoServer instead.

Well, that wasn't directed at me, but I'll still answer, if you don't
mind. ;-)
Some of our customers use HP, other X2Go users I know of use Zotac or
Rangee, I believe there even was someone who ran X2Go on igel's once.

X2Go-TCE should run on almost anything that has at least 1 GB of RAM, as
long as the crucial components like graphics and network card are
supported by Debian Linux.  I'm using it on several generic x86
machines, and while the actual TCE image isn't available for the
RaspberryPi yet, a regular Raspbian installation + X2GoClient can be
configured to be used as an X2Go-ThinClient as well - at present, it
just takes more manual steps, and we don't recommend PXE-booting these
machines, even though the newer ones support it in general.

Stefan Baur

Re: [X2Go-User] Python3-x2go

[Seth Galitzer]

Wyse (Dell) D50D, running embedded Suse Linux, which seems to be a 
special compressed minimal image based on that distro. I have 56 of them 
in my lab. After trying for a year to find out if/how I could build my 
own X2go package, I finally talked to a tech who said it wouldn't be 
possible and they were in the process of rolling out a new Linux image 
across their product line. That's the one who also told me it was 
ordinary x86 hardware and there wasn't any reason I couldn't roll my own.


Wyse used to have a pretty nice forum and wiki with user-contributed 
documentation, and I seem to recall finding info on building custom 
packages for the platform there. That all eventually disappeared when 
Dell acquired the company and I apparently didn't save anything I had 
gathered previously. That's why I'm building my own platform now.

Yes, please use an HTTP server instead for your tests.  If you don't
have one handy, you can spawn a temporary one from the command line
using python:
cd /directory/where/you/keep/the/files && python -m SimpleHTTPServer 80

Please post the boot parameters used and try to make a screenshot of the
screen where it freezes - if you're running the test client as virtual
machine, your host should have a screenshot feature; if you're using
real hardware, try to capture it with your smartphone camera.

Also, if you've tried to make any changes to the squashfs file, please
try an unchanged file first, and see if that boots.

Not sure how you're trying to boot, so just some general reminders/hints:
- squashfs via TFTP usually won't work, and even if it does, it will
  take ages to load
- if you're using http(s)/ftp as you should, make sure you can download
  the files manually - if you can't, then it's a sign that you probably
  need to adjust ownership and/or permissions on the server.
- if you end up with a black screen once the boot messages scrolled by,
  try passing a parameter specifying the screen size or an alternative
  xorg.conf file. (they're documented in the Wiki).

Kind Regards,
Stefan Baur

Taking a look at it all now, got the image and PXE booting it properly
however it seems to get stuck at the loading screen for "X2Go TCE" where it
finishes out and then just sits there with nothing going on. Trying to
figure out why now.

You're aware that X2Go has an official Session Broker written in Python,
and there's even a bunch of automated installation scripts for a demo
setup using LDAP, NFS, Postgres, one Broker and two X2GoServers?
See: 

Also, quoting "man x2goclient":
   --hide Hide client (start hidden, default: false).

--> No visible X2GoClient window.

I think you should really evaluate our new Debian-Live based TCE. It can
be booted over the net as well as installed on local storage or
removable media.

As already stated in my previous post, see:

As well as  for some demo
builds you can tinker with.

Re: [X2Go-User] Python3-x2go

[brian town]

Hmm i'll have to give that a look too. I wrote a broker in python that
calls the x2goclient and passes a bunch of commands along to it but it
would be great to not have the client window open up at all and just do it
all via CLI. Right now my setup is using LTSP to push down the image to the
clients, and from that they use x2go to connect to remote VMs. It's a huge
pain but our environment is really weird.

What exactly are you trying to achieve with the scripted PyHoca-CLI?
There may be ways to achieve the same result using our new
X2Go-ThinClientEditon (see
, or
 for  builds you can start
tinkering with), which uses the stock X2GoClient.

Please let us know your use case, and we'll see what we can come up with.

Also, as always, once you're happy with X2Go, please drop us a few lines
we can publish on our "Success Stories" page
().

I hope this doesn't mean the pure CLI client is being abandoned. I just 
discovered it in getting a completely scripted solution for my thin 
clients. I'd be happy to help test should you need help with that.


Thanks.

Unfortunately no. My biggest mistake ever was sticking too long with
Python2. I don't yet have any plans for porting to Python3 because I am
working on a rewrite outside of the X2Go context and not in Python.
Still all uncooked.

Ahhh darn, was having a few issues with pyhoca-cli with the setup I was
building and figured I would bite the bullet and start actually playing
with python-x2go in the broker I built haha4
