[Documentation](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/X2go#Start_X2Go_server_daemon) and various internet answers suggest x2goserver will have a service on systemd systems which can be started (or stopped, etc) with systemctl start x2goserver. However, there is no such service on my system (Fedora 30 MATE): > Unit x2goserver.service could not be found. There is also no process by this name except for x2gocleansessions: $ pgrep -la x2go 1808 /usr/bin/perl /usr/sbin/x2gocleansessions Yet, X2Go is working. Has its process or service been named something else now? How can X2Go be turned off or on?

I have the 'module' lmod command set up on my Ubuntu Linux servers. This works well for users who connect via ssh to the server ('module avail' shows the available modules). Some users want to connect using xrdp or x2go, and when they open a terminal window in that type of session, the 'module' commands don't work. I can solve this on a case-by-base basis by having them edit the preferences in the terminal app and setting 'Run command as a login shell'. New terminal sessions after that will have the 'module' environment set up correctly. How can I set this system-wide, so that all users get that 'login shell' behavior? Or, how can I configure it so that the lmod setup gets run whether it's a login shell or not?

To connect to our servers we use X2Go. The setup is a little bit more sophisticated due to the use of a proxy. The proxy is setup properly and works when I connect via ssh in the powershell. I also installed the ssh keys and I dont have to give the password. The problem is now that I need to use this ssh config file. Before you ask me to use the proxy in the session settings of X2Go, here comes the second kicker. On Windows I recently had to start adding the

-m hmac-sha2-512

to avoid the corrupt MAC error. This option I can not pass in the session settings. A colleague (that uses linux) told me the that the "Try auto login ... " checkbox in the session settings supposedly reads the .ssh/config file. On Windows it does not seem to work.

The server to which I am connecting is CentOS 7, the client is Windows 10. I am able to connect to an existing X session as remote desktop, but launching anything standalone, e.g. terminal or web browser does not work - the window is briefly opened, but then immediately closes afterwards and the session terminates. There does not appear to be anything useful in the error logs - (nothing present in the file .xsession-x2go-hostname.errors). The logs of the session itself are below:

How can I further debug this issue?

I transferred the KDE settings (ie contents of .kde) folder from an existing KDE to a new installed computer. Normally when I connect to a remote x2go, the windows are resizable, ie adjusting the remote desktop's windows size resize the contents, keeping stuff like the toolbars in place and shrinking the contained windows to match the screen size. Before I transferred KDE settings the screen contents on the remote desktop were resizable, but after copying the settings from the existing computer the remote desktop is not resizing the contents. This means that I can't see the the bottom edge of the screen and the right edge of the screen. The only reason I can think of is that because the settings were transferred from a fixed size desktop, the remote desktop is also fixed in size, thus making the window a view port onto a bigger screen. Is there some way to fix this?

When I try to connect to x2goserver I get error: Any idea how to solve it or what are the possible causes? Both client and remote computers are running Manjaro x64 XFCE and are located in the same LAN network.

I have a CentOS system running an X2go server and I use a client machine to connect to it. I'm trying to do some command-line automation for mouse-clicks using xdotool. The automation is scripted in bash and is placed in /etc/profile.d. The idea is when any user logs into X2go server from a client, the automation script should execute. However, there is one issue with this approach. For xdotool, a Xserver session is needed. On further digging, I found that there is no display variable set when the session initiates and therefore the script fails (xdotool). It takes about 30 seconds for the XSession to fully establish before a display variable is set. I cannot simply add a sleep in the bash script at it delays the login process since the script resides in /etc/profile.d. Any neat way to tacke this?

First I had a problem with the printer and sharing files, after disabling both it is solved and no window error is shown. Then when I have tried to access from client the windows is fully black. How could I fix it? Before the black screen I get this error: I use Gnome in CentOS 7. Here you have details of my session: NXPROXY - Version 3.5.0 Copyright (C) 2001, 2010 NoMachine.

I'm running i3 windows manager on Debian 10 and I'm connecting to the computer through X2go as I'm working at home at the moment. Since the upgrade from Debian 9 to Debian 10 (done recently) the i3-status bar freezes and I have to 'reload' i3 which is a slight pain. Here is my .i3status.conf general { interval = 1 colors = true color_good = '#88b090' color_degraded = '#ccdc90' color_bad = '#e89393' } # order += "volume master" # order += "disk /" # order += "disk /home" # order += "disk /media/data" # order += "ethernet br0" # order += "cpu_temperature 0" # order += "memory" # order += "load" order += "tztime local" # ethernet br0 { # #if you use %speed, i3status requires root privileges # format_up = "%ip (%speed)" # format_down = "" # } tztime local { format = "%A %e.%B %H:%M:%S" } # load { # format = "%1min" # } # cpu_usage { # format = "%usage" # } # cpu_temperature 0 { # format = "%degrees°C" # } # disk "/" { # format = "/ %avail" # prefix_type = custom # } # disk "/home" { # format = "/home %avail" # prefix_type = custom # } # disk "/media/data" { # format = "/media/data %avail" # prefix_type = custom # } # volume master { # format = "VOL: %volume " # format_muted = "MUTE " # device = "default" # mixer = "Master" # mixer_idx = 0 # } When it freezes the time isn't moving but I can still see the date and time just in a frozen state. I've tried running i3status in a terminal and it's been running fine for a few weeks non-stop; Here is the output (note this is when I had all my settings on in my config and I haven't had to restart it since); ~ % i3status i3status: trying to auto-detect output_format setting i3status: auto-detected "term" / 6.5 GB | /home 103.1 GB | /media/data 543.9 GB | 4.29 | Monday 28.September 09:10:16 I cannot replicate the problem but I think it might have something to do with when I exit X2go. When I exit X2go I keep the session running in the background, then the next day I connect to it. Now when it's in this state is when it typically freezes. Maybe i3-status doesn't like to be in an X2go session which has been detached but still running. **Update** After running the i3status.sh script it failed when I disconnected X2go shortly after work and I get the error; i3status: trying to auto-detect output_format setting i3status: falling back to "none" I've added the following to my config -> general area to test output_format = "i3bar" **Update: Forced fail** Just managed to force it to fail, by exiting the X2go remote session (but keeping it going in the background), making a coffee (5minutes) and then rejoining the X2go session. It still fails with output_format forced to i3bar. I don't get any error in i3status-err.log now. I have to hit ++r to get it started again.

I am trying to show keyboard event by app **xinput**. I tried on three workstations. On the first two workstations (in local X-session), all is good: Get device list: $ xinput ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ HID 1241:1177 id=8 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SIGMACH1P USB Keykoard id=10 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ SIGMACH1P USB Keykoard id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] Device event: $ xinput test 9 key release 36 key press 48 key press 47 key release 48 key press 46 lkey release 47 key release 46 key press 41 key press 36 key release 41 key release 36 key press 62 key release 62 key press 37 But on the third workstation, I connect from X-terminal **x2go** (connect from Windows 7). And in this workstation xinput does not fulfill its function. Xinput does not find devices and segfaults. $ xinput "pointer" id=0 [XPointer] "keyboard" id=1 [XKeyboard] $ xinput test 1 unable to find device '1' $ xinput test-xi2 1 "keyboard" id=1 [XKeyboard] Num_keys is 248 Min_keycode is 8 Max_keycode is 255 Segmentation fault **Question 1:** The xinput principial does not work if connection to X-server stable from X-terminal? Or it is bug in standart X11 application? **Question 2:** How to alternative get global keyboard event (push and release key) if connect from X-terminal (x2go)? Environment: From connect: Windows 7 Pro, official X2GO client from site x2go.org. To connect: Debian 7.8, LXDE, official server X2GO from site x2go.org.

I have a Linux Mint 20 box at work that I want to connect to via X2go. I want to be able to pick up my work where I left off, so I want to access the current desktop, not start a new X session. The issue is that my work computer has two monitors, so when I connect on my laptop, the two monitors are squished into one screen, as shown below. How can I view only one display at a time via X2go and toggle between them?

When working from home, there are some manipulations that I must do on a distant machine, in the office. I mainly have to work on a terminal, but sometimes I need to use a software with a heavy GUI (started from the terminal). Because the software is too heavy for X forwarding through SSH, I use x2go to start a terminal and work on this terminal. But it seems to me that it is a bit overkill (and slow) to start a terminal through x2go and transfer graphical information instead of using a ssh connection for the terminal work and use x2go only for the graphical software. Basically what I would like to do is: 1. Start an x2go session (on nothing specific) 2. Connect to the server using ssh 3. Launch the graphical software in the ssh shell using the x2go session as display Is there a way to do this? I already tried to set DISPLAY to the value set in the terminal opened in x2go but it doesn't work.

> DISPLAY=:88 xterm

No protocol specified
xterm: Xt error: Can't open display: :88

I am trying to connect to a local session on a remote Linux machine which has two physical monitors attached. My local x2go client is a Windows machine with only one monitor. When I connect, the content of both remote monitors (since they are only recognized as one display :0) gets squeezed into one window. This means its either highly distorted (if I just full screen it) or too small to be of any use (if I try to adjust the window size for the correct aspect ratio). Is there any way to "split up" a remote dual monitor display and choose between the screens on the client side?

I used to use x2go for tunneling my entire remote desktop over SSH, but recently trying it yielded no success. This is the error: Connection failed. * keychain 2.8.4 ~ http://www.funtoo.org * Found existing ssh-agent: 7185 * Known ssh key: /home/w/.ssh/id_ecdsa I am running keychain to manage my ssh keys, but I don't see that being an issue. I also have google authenticator setup (2-factor auth), but even disabled that in PAM to confirm that was not the culprit. I don't see any errors in the logs and can see that it does take the public key, but beyond that, I haven't a clue what else could be going on.

I have two computers on two different networks, which I will call Server and Client. Server and Client both run Debian 9.5 and have x2go installed. When I'm on Client machine, I use x2go to connect to Server machine. On Server, when I try to run rstudio. The X11 connection broke: Maximum allowed requested length exceeded (code 4) XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":50.0" after 421 requests (421 known processed) with 0 events remaining. Can I bypass this error to run RStudio from Client via x2go?

X2Go won't connect to my Kubuntu 16.04 PC, while MATE and XFCE work well with X2Go. X2Go has an older version of X server built in and doesn't support some newer features; apparently that's why MATE and XFCE work well with it. X2Go does connect OK to a KDE VM with almost identical configuration, except of course the video driver will be different. I suspect the video driver may be the issue on my Kubuntu PC (since it works when connecting to a VM). How should I configure it to be compatible with X2Go ? Should I remove the NVidia driver? If so, how do I remove it? Here's some output showing the problem: **Error:** GUI Error (shows on physically connected display, not x2go) Sorry Ubuntu 16.04 has experienced an internal error Executable path: /usr/bin/ksplashqml Architecture: AMD Title: ksplashqml crashed with signal 7 in malloc_consolidate() Syslog May 10 10:26:04 Computer1234 /usr/bin/x2goruncommand: launching session with Xsession-x2go mechanism, using STARTUP="startkde" May 10 10:26:04 Computer1234 /usr/bin/x2goruncommand: dbus wrapper available as /usr/bin/dbus-run-session May 10 10:26:05 Computer1234 kernel: [xxx] x2goagent[xxx]: segfault at 0 ip xxx sp yyy error 4 in nxagent[xxx]

A picture is worth 1000 words: This is fedora 20 running LXDE using X2GOServer, with X2GO client on windows. I am on a VPS at ramnode. I assume it's an issue with encoding, but I just can't figure out how to fix it from the command line, and fixing it from the gui is practically impossible since I cant read anything.

My client is Windows 10 and my server is Ubuntu 16.04. I was able to connect, however suddenly was unable to. I have tried reinstalling my client on Windows 10, however it doesn't work. On the server, my logs say connection established and do not show an error. On my client a message pops up saying 'The remote proxy closed the connection while negotiating. This may be due to wrong authentication credentials passed to the server' But, on my server it says connection established. systemctl status x2goserver says - Successful su for x2go_user by root - \+ ??? root:x2go_user - pam_unix(su:session): session opened for user x2go_user by (uid=0) - Successful su for x2go_user by root - \+ ??? root:x2go_user - pam_unix(su:session): session opened for user x2go_user by (uid=0) I am able to connect via SSH (PuTTy) and I'm using XFCE and same error even if I switch it.

I'm using x2go server on my work laptop and pyhoca-gui on my home laptop. I open an LXDE session and start Konsole. Every app I try to run in Konsole fails to open the display. How do I fix this?
