[X2Go-User] Newbie question: What is x2go's relationship to VcXsrv?
Hi I use VcXsrv and have just come across x2go. Please will someone explain if there is any relationship between x2go and VcXsrv? Why might I want to use x2go instead of VcXsrv? (I work on a Windows 8.1 machine and want to access GUI apps on Linux machines). Best regards David ___ x2go-user mailing list x2go-user@lists.x2go.org http://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-user

Plain VcXsrv is just that - a plain X server for Windows, that you can use with any SSH client that supports X forwarding, no change on the Unix machine required. For X2Go, you need to install the X2Go server packages on your Unix (currently: only Linux) machine, else you will be unable to connect to it using X2GoClient.

Why might I want to use x2go instead of VcXsrv? (I work on a Windows 8.1 machine and want to access GUI apps on Linux machines). Best regards David X2Go uses NX technology which requires an XServer on the client-side host. In X2Go the setup is this: o (Windows) client-side: VcXsrv o client-side: nxproxy o server-side: nxagent (aka x2goagent) (Xserver where the X2Go session runs in). X2Go Client bundles VcXsrv and ships it in its installer. As we experienced long delays with security fixes in the upstream VcXsrv the X2Go project's and the Arctica Project's (working on a remote desktop solution write-up from scratch) team chose to maintain its own branch/version of VcXsrv [1]. You can use VcXsrv to run local X11 and remote X11 application via the normal X11 protocol. X2Go utilizes NX technology, which is used for starting remote X11 application, but the NX protocol does several things for optimizing the application's smoothness when it comes to low bandwidth connections.

Re: [X2Go-User] Last Call! X2Go: The Gathering 2015, Registration ends in one week from today!
Sounds like your'e all having fun, wish I could join but funds and time don't allow travel at present. I recently upgraded both my workstation and server to Ububtu 15.04 and happy to report X2Go still works on both except that sound is broken on the server, but I don't think that is an X2Go issue but rather an issue with my using a different kernel and audio modules not loading. I'll chase it down while you're all relaxin' and having fun. -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Eskimo North Linux Friendly Internet Access, Shell Accounts, and Hosting.

This is an update on the X2Go: The Gathering 2015 situation. ** Please pay special attention to the sections containing the ** ** word UPDATE in capital letters. ** Registration ends in one week from today! UPDATE: All beds are booked out by our ten participants! These are, in alphabetical order: - - Alonso, Nicolas Arenas (TheQVD) - - Baur, Stefan (BAUR-ITCS) - - DePaulo, Michael Swinick - - Fleten, Kjetil Andre (fleten.net) - - Gabriel, Mike (DAS-NETZWERKTEAM) - - Heinold, Henning - - Martinez, Nito (TheQVD) - - Moldovan, Mihai (BAUR-ITCS) - - Pedersen-Cook, Mark (fleten.net) - - Wicke, Florian (Hetzner) UPDATE: Thanks to Florian Wicke's employer, Hetzner, we will be able to cover the accomodation costs of at least 4 participants, and we will probably spend the remaining money of Hetzner's sponsorship on food and/or travel expenses. Also, special thanks to Linuxhotel for jumping in and renewing their kind offer, as we had originally selected another location that didn't work out. If you still want to join us, you have the following options: - - You can bring your own sleeping bag and sleep on the conference room floor (in theory, bringing your own tent and setting it up on the lawn should work, too - it has been done before - but if you're really that desperate, please *do* tell me in advance that you're bringing a tent, so I can check back with the Linuxhotel owners). - - You can visit us on a day-by-day basis, sleeping elsewhere. - - UPDATE: You can ask me to be put on a waiting list, in case more beds become available. Regardless of which option you choose: Please DO contact me at x2go-m...@baur-itcs.de with the text The Gathering somewhere in the subject and bug me publicly on the X2Go-Project list if you don't receive a confirmation by e-mail after a day or two. For those sleeping elsewhere, there's no such hard deadline as for the room reservations, but you will need to check in (see Admission fee below) for our gathering with the Linuxhotel staff, so please *do* let us know in advance. *Cost overview* UPDATE: An overview of the costs, updated for people interested in taking the sleeping bag or day-to-day approach, is available at: http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/events:x2go-gathering-2015#cost_overview *Payment* UPDATE: You will have to pay in cash *on Saturday morning* - or *upon arriving at Linuxhotel*, if you're not staying over night. Sorry, we can't accept credit cards, debit cards, bitcoins or other forms of payment for this event - *cash only*. UPDATE: The only exception to the rule are wire transfers for those participants wanting to pay in advance. Also, all payments must be made in *Euro, not in foreign currencies*. If you wish to pay in advance, please contact me via E-Mail at x2go-m...@baur-itcs.de for the SEPA banking details. *Lunch/Dinner/BBQ* UPDATE: We have reached critical mass so that we could order lunch/dinner from Linuxhotel as well, if all participants agree. Dear participants: Please let me know whether you would like to [ ] have lunch served by Linuxhotel on [ ] Saturday [ ] Sunday [ ] both [ ] have dinner served by Linuxhotel on Saturday [ ] have dinner at Unperfekthaus on Saturday, like last year [ ] bring your own food/order pizza/fire up the BBQ whenever you want I need your answer by 2015-05-18, so I can make the proper reservations and arrangements!!! Linuxhotel charges 5 EUR per person and lunch/dinner, however, you can expect a discount on that

I tested the X2Go client from a Ubuntu 15.04 work station to other servers, sound works fine on the client, it is on the server side that it's broken, and I think that's because of my kernel. During the update I saw some modules that were sound related fail to load. I have a 4.0.0 kernel where the Ubuntu ships with 3.19.0. I'll undo that in a bit and see if it fixes sound on the server, but X2Go client is working fine, sound included, on Ubuntu 15.04. It's actually a client problem, I think. If 15.05 ships libpulse-6 and you're using the release build of X2Go Client, that's broken. As a workaround, please try the nightly builds.
