Re: [X2Go-User] x2goserver on Ubuntu Mate 15.04 with 4k monitor and high font-rendering DPI

2015-05-21 Thread Simon Baev
I saw this setting but for some reason it didn't affect anything when I
changed it to 96. Could it be caused by the fact that ongoing (not logged
out) session was active on the server (physical console) while I was trying
to remotely connect to it via X2Go?

The only way I found to connect to that server with reasonable DPI was to
create a separate user that runs default settings, but that doesn't seem to
be a good fix.

 There's a setting in the X2GoClient GUI to force a DPI value, doesn't
 that work for you?  If no, why?

Then you will want to take a look at the session broker on the server
side.  Of course, a poor man's broker using a session config file on
a read-only network share could also be used, as long as your users
are always connected to the LAN (this will work via VPN, too, just not
when all you have is an SSH connect to your server/firewall).

Since you're talking of your users, I'm assuming a commercial setup
on your side, so I hope you don't mind if I point out that there are
several companies offering commercial support for X2Go, mine being one
of them. ;-)

One-time paid consultancy work for getting things set up is available,
just like support contracts with guaranteed response times.
Obviously, paid support is also available in German.

Feel free to contact me off-list for details.

Re: [X2Go-User] X2Go Client: Where to put RSA key for auto login on Windows

2015-05-21 Thread Schmid Andreas
  Well, the reason is simply that I cannot install software on our
  machines myself. Therefore I want to install as little software on
  those machines as possible, as for every piece of software I have
  to go through the installation steps with our IT department. They
  for sure would install pageant as well, but it's just easier for
  all of us if there's just one .exe to execute, rather than two of
  them. And we probably won't run PuTTY etc. on those machines.
 
 Wll, there's no need to install anything at all.  While both
 X2GoClient and PuTTY come with installers, you can also just copy all
 the files to a directory of your choice (say, a network share) and
 start them from there.
 
 You could, for example, install X2GoClient on a test machine, then copy
 the contents of C:\Program Files\x2goclient (or whatever you picked as
 destination) to a network share, say, \\server\share\x2goclient, drop
 pageant.exe from PuTTY in there as well, and add a little batch file
 that runs pageant, adds the key, waits a few seconds, then runs
 x2goclient.
 
 That way, all you have to roll out is a shortcut (*.lnk) file pointing
 to the batch file on \\server\share\x2goclient.  No client-side
 installation at all.
 
 Of course, you could also try to use %userprofile% in the ssh keyfile
 path within the session config, but I've never tried if that works as
 intended, so no promises.
 
OK, this is quite a smart solution. Thank you a lot for your inputs, I really 
appreciate it.
Just, as we have already installed the client (the .exe-way), and because we're 
still undecided about introducing X2Go at all, I'll stick to pointing to the 
key file directly, at least for the moment. I actually don't even need to use 
the %userprofile% variable, as the userprofile directory is mapped to a drive 
letter.
What I'm working on right now is finding the best way to provide pre-defined 
sessions to our users. I probably got one more question, will ask in a new 
thread.

Thanks again,

Andy

I wasn't looking to start a shadow session to access existing session. I
just needed to use some software that was installed on that machine so
fresh session worked fine. I will try the extensions approach for testing
and will stick with a separate user scenario for main needs in future.
Thank you.

 What exactly are you doing, anyway? It seems like you are starting a shadow
 session, i.e., connect to the already running local X server on the
 server
 machine?

 The DPI setting in X2Go Client controls the private X server's - i.e.,
 nxagent's
 - DPI value. There's a caveat though, in the sense that desktop
 environments can
 and most likely will overwrite that.


  The only way I found to connect to that server with reasonable DPI was to
  create a separate user that runs default settings, but that doesn't seem
 to
  be a good fix.

 X2Go provides support for hooks via its extensions support. I guess it's
 not
 properly documented anywhere yet, but the basic idea is to put scripts into
 /usr/lib/x2go/extensions/. The targets in there are sort-of
 self-explanatory.

 N.B.: the amount of targets available may differ between release and
 nightly
 versions.


 All this said, I think a separate user is the cleanest and best-working
 idea.

[X2Go-User] The remote proxy closed the connection while negotiating the session.

2015-05-21 Thread Kjetil Fleten
I have an issue with a server, that has stopped working. I can log in
with ssh, but the x2goclient gives the error The remote proxy closed
the connection while negotiating the session. This may be due to the
wrong authentication credentials passed to the server.

I have other x2goservers, that works fine from the same client.

The affected server has been rebooted, and I have also tried to purge
x2goserver and reinstalled. No resolution yet.
I can see that the version on the affected server is 4.0.1.19-0~106.

On the server that works, it's 4.1.0.0-0~1257.

I have tried to:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:x2go/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

But it seems like the update command don't fetch the x2go-repository at all.

Anyone that has ideas to resolve this ?
