Re: [X2Go-User] Keyboard issues
Actually it works with any Bourne Shell derivative as far as I've been
able to determine, /bin/sh, /bin/bash, /bin/dash, /bin/ksh, /bin/zsh, but
not any csh derivative.
I had this problem too, my work around was to load Ubuntu onto my Mac
and stop using MacOS (which solved many other issues such as not being able
to cut-n-paste between X and non-X applications).

Subject: [X2Go-User] Keyboard issues
Hello,
I'm having the same issues as described here:
http://lists.x2go.org/pipermail/x2go-user/2015-May/003171.html
In my case its a OSX client (4.0.5.0 ? from x2go.org) and a CentOS 7 server
(4.0.1.19 ? from EPEL). I'm trying to fire up a MATE session and the keyboard
is not set properly when using tcsh as my login shell but it does work properly
for bash. There wasn't a solution in the above thread, other than switching to
bash. Has anyone found a workaround for tcsh? More info on my investigation.
I would greatly appreciate any help in figuring out the problem or a good
workaround.
Thanks,
Darby
In either case I get a message on login that says:
Error activating XKB configuration.
It can happen under various circumstances:
a bug in libxklavier library
a bug in X server (xkbcomp, xmodmap utilities)
X server with incompatible libxkbfile implementation
X server version data:
The X.Org Foundation
7000
If you report this situation as a bug, please include:
The result of xprop -root | grep XKB
The result of gsettings list-keys org.mate.peripherals-keyboard-xkb.kbd
I'm sure this is related but since my keyboard is fine on base I don't think
this is the root cause.
From a session that works (bash):
~/.x2go/session.log says "keyboard file created"
~/.x2go/keyboard:
rules=base
model=empty
layout=empty
variant=
options=
$ setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat{ include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc+us" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" };
};
From a session that doesn't work (tcsh):
~/.x2go/session.log says "keyboard file not created: Is a directory"
~/.x2go/keyboard file missing
% setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat{ include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc+us" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" };
};

Re: [X2Go-User] Keyboard issues
Using Linux instead of OSX on my MBP isn't an option for me as I need OSX for several applications in my work environment that aren't supported under Linux. The bottom line is that the xmodmap when logging in under tcsh is messed up. I have found a good workaround though that I thought I'd share, which is based on this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7018775/keymap-issues-with-nx-from-mac-o s-x-lion-to-ubuntu - Changed my default linux shell on the x2go server machine to bash - Login via the x2go client and save the good xmodmap via 'xmodmap -pke > xmodmap.bash' - Changed my login shell back to tcsh on the server - Created a shell script that loads the correct key mappings by running 'xmodmap xmodmap.bash' - Login via x2go and run the shell script to restore the proper keyboard mappings As in the stackoverflow thread above, my modifier keys were still not working so I had to add this to the end of xmodmap.bash: ! ! Now reset all the modifiers too ! clear shift clear lock clear control clear mod1 clear mod2 clear mod3 clear mod4 clear mod5 add shift = Shift_L Shift_R add lock = Caps_Lock add control = Control_L Control_R add mod1 = Alt_L Alt_R add mod2 = Meta_L Meta_R Since the keyboard is still messed up when first logging in, I had to move the the shell script to the desktop so I can double click to run it. I've had limited testing so far but now everything seems to be working well. I'm guessing I could automate loading the xmodmap file somehow but its not immediately obvious to me how to detect that the login is under x2go and not a native login. Any thoughts on that would be appreciated. And longer term, it would be great if the x2go developers could make this independent of the user's shell. But please don't take that as a complaint - I do very much appreciate having the capability x2go provides!

In a bash script, you could use
if [ $(echo $DISPLAY | awk -F':' '{ print $2 }') -ge 50 ] ; then
echo "Very likely an X2Go session" ;
