I would like to switch from freenx to x2go, but I don't use a well known distribution. I have LFS, Linux From Scratch -- a source based distribution. I'm following the instructions from http://wiki.x2go.org/installing_x2goserver_tarball and INSTALL from the x2goserver tarball. but I fail to get it to work. Firstly, the server dependencies are listed as: perl-suid lsof openssh-client openssh-server libconfig-simple-perl makepasswd libdbd-pg-perl libdbd-sqlite3-perl xauth I've installed everything except for perl-suid as this is no longer part of recent perl versions. Not sure how critical this is.
This was critical and that's why we have very recently remove the perl-suid dependency from upstream code.
Please use a very recent X2go server version from our Git repos: http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goserver.git;a=snapshot;sf=tgz
Then, I follow the installation details from x2goserver's INSTALL:
GREAT
========== BEGIN QUOTE ============ TARBALL INSTALLATION OF x2goserver ================================== [...] ============= END QUOTE ================
Here, there's some debianism, these two commands, addgroup and adduser, must be some debian specific wrappers for groupadd and useradd. Can you please give me the regular groupadd and useradd command equivalents?
Yes, thank you for bringing this up. I have fixed this in the latest INSTALL howto:
http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goserver.git;a=commitdiff;h=4845ffbb364a0f1f04f4a5337c5b977c450f38c6Furthermore, I have updated the lower section of the howto, as well. Whatever additional stuff who find and consider helpful, please post it to this list.
Also, in some documentation files, I've see mention of a group x2gousers, while here the group name is x2gouser. Which one is it?
This has changed very recently (together with the perl-suid dependency removal). It is now x2gouser. The x2gousers group was necessary in earlier releases and is now optional when using the PostgreSQL db backend (or can/should be dropped with SQLite db backend).
Then there's the confusion of which packages I really need. So far I'm compiling the below packages in the following order: nxcomp -> server+client nxproxy -> client nxcompshad -> server nxcompext -> server x2goserver -> server x2goclient -> client
MISSING::: x2goagent ->server
I use git for pulling the source by the way.
Ah, great!
Then I do $ chown root:x2gouser /usr/lib/x2go/x2gosqlitewrapper $ chmod 2755 /usr/bin/x2gosqlitewrapper
This must have been an error in the old INSTALL howto. Please check the new version.
Then I run as roon x2godbadmin --createdb (I use sqlite) and finally x2gocleansessions
Ok...
Then from another computer I fire up the x2goclient, create a connection and try to initiate it. This is what I get in the console: [...]
Again: your server seems to be missing the x2goagent binary (which is the actual session's Xserver that application within the session can connect to).
In the debian installtion, I see you use sudo but in the INSTALL file this step is missing.
Sounds like your Debian installation does not use the same packages as in X2go Git.
Use this DebURL: deb http://packages.x2go.org/debian squeeze heuler
I've install sshfs anf fuse and I believe all the other dependencies.
Fuse: you have to add users that shall be able to use X2go local folder sharing to the fuse group of your system (manually). I have also updated that in the INSTALL howto.
My questions are: 1) Any way to enable debugging on the server side
Yes, but only planned for x2goserver > 4.x. As the server-side is a bunch of scripts you can modify them yourself (e.g. with the logger command).
2) Any way to enable debugging on the client side
Not so with x2goclient, but the pyhoca-gui (alternative client for X2go) can do a lot of debugging.
pyhoca-gui --debug --libdebug
3) Do I need to install and use x2goagent
YES!
Any help/hints/useful links you offer will be greatly appreciated. When I geteverything working, I will contribute a nice write-up for use on the wiki.
VERY NICE!
Modesty aside, I believe I write pretty clear and good documentation. As I'mworking on my own LFS-based distribution, I will be following the new releasesof x2go and will be updating the instructions too.
WOW!!!
Thanks, IvanK.
