I could not find anything in KDE it has the issue of it not resizing when
you make the screen larger. So you have a bunch of unused space.

Is there a similar fix for other desktops. I'd like to be able to use the
most popular. I'll try looking for that in KDE but gnome doesn't even start

[X2Go-User] Wayland launch scripts being used?

2021-05-02 Thread Jeff Sadowski
So I'm not sure why so many of my desktops in Fedora have stopped working
with x2go but I heavily suspect it is them transitioning all desktops to
wayland. I know gnome still has an option to select xorg from the console
but x2go does not provide any clarification on this kind of selection.
Maybe if I understood how the server side selects the script to run to
start the desktop depending on the selection from the client side I could
help the package maintainers make things easier for x2go users. All I know
for certain is: I was using XFCE desktop in Fedora 33 when I upgraded to
Fedora 34 XFCE became unusable over x2go. I started trying other desktops
and noticed they do not act right. Gnome over x2g on fedora 34 doesn't even
start. KDE seems to have some issues. Mate seems to work.

As soon as chrome finishes the download I get a message:
dangerous, so Chrome has blocked it.
message on the downloaded file. I have not gotten this in the past.


Maybe your site has been hacked?
Is there a md5 or sha1 hash that I can use that has a gpg signing that I
can trust came from the developers?
I've seen this with other open source software.

Ok so as an admin one of the issues that is beginning to hit me is the
zoom issue. Newer laptops have ungodly resolutions 4K displays
and they set the max resolution by default with a 200% zoom so that
the people can read the text. Now when they start a x2go session the
text appears huge.
Is there a way to set the zoom different for x applications?

[X2Go-User] Good thing to add to .bashrc and .cshrc files

2019-07-10 Thread Jeff Sadowski
I had posted the bash one here before I just ran into some tcsh users
that where having similar issues so I thought it might be helpful.

My .bashrc starts with the 2 lines

if [ "$BASH_EXECUTION_STRING" != "" ]; then return 0; fi
# do not add items before this line

This helps with sftp and x2go if you have things that interfere with
x2go or sftp like changing directories or adding paths that might
interfere or just code block that might interfere.

for tcsh add the following 2 lines to the top of your .cshrc

if ( `set |grep "^command.bash" |grep "X2GO"` != "" ) exit
# do not add items before this line

Re: [X2Go-User] Quick little trouble shooting instructions I set up for my users.

2019-04-22 Thread Jeff Sadowski
This is for my users at my work. Sticking with XFCE shortens my
trouble shooting steps and the list of things I need to install on my
servers. Nobody has asked for other desktops. I'd certainly install
others for them if they really wanted them but XFCE seems to suffice.

[X2Go-User] Quick little trouble shooting instructions I set up for my users.

2019-04-19 Thread Jeff Sadowski
My .bashrc starts like so

if [ "$BASH_EXECUTION_STRING" != "" ]; then return 0; fi
# do not add items before this line

This helps with sftp and x2go if you have things that interfere with
x2go or sftp like changing directories or adding paths that might
interfere or just code block that might interfere.

Always set the session type to XFCE default is KDE(not installed on
all servers).
XFCE is a lightweight desktop  allowing more people to connect.
if XFCE fails to start with

a dbus error you may have a corrupted file in your home directory.

One way to potentially fix this is to login with ssh and move all your
dot files to a temporary directory like so

mkdir -p ~/dot_files
mv ~/.[a-zA-Z]* ~/dot_files
After your dot files are out of the way try starting an x2go session.

If it starts then one of the files was causing the issue.

to move your files back that have not been created by starting x2go

you can try this script I called restore_dot_files.sh

#!/bin/bash
#script to move back all files that where not recreated by starting xfce
cd ~/dot_files
ls -1 .[a-zA-Z]* | while read file;
do
if [ ! -e "${HOME}/${file}" ];then
echo "moving back ${file}"
mv "$file" ~/
fi
done

then try stopping and starting x2go and see if it still fails. If it
fails then one of the files that is being copied back is causing the
issue maybe ~/.bashrc I'd make sure you have the lines I have at the
top of this article the top and bottom sections of my .bashrc and try
again.

If you are having issues with connecting to previous sessions you may
need to login from a command line with an ssh client (like putty, or
mobaxterm) and kill some hung sessions. Login to the server you can
not connect to. Run:

ps -fu $USER|grep x2goagent

This will display your current x2goagent processes you have running

Ex:

user1::machine1 { ~ }-> ps -fu $USER |grep x2goagent
user1 22323 1 0 Apr08 ? 00:05:22 x2goagent -nolisten tcp -nolisten tcp
-dpi 96 -D -auth /home/user1/.Xauthority -geometry 800x600 -name
X2GO-user1-53-1554730849_stDXFCE_dp24 :53

In this example if I can no longer connect to my x2go session on
machine1 I would want to kill this process. So I would run:

kill 22323
After running that see if there is still a process x2goruncommand by running

ps -fu $USER |grep x2goruncommand
Ex:

user1::machine1 { ~ }-> ps -fu $USER |grep x2goruncommand
user1 22383 1 0 Apr08 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash /usr/bin/x2goruncommand 53
22323 user1-53-1554730849_stDXFCE_dp24 52312 xfce4-session nosnd D

you will want to try and kill that process as well in this example I
would use the following to kill it

kill 22383
After you kill those two processes you should be able to connect to
that server again using x2go.

[X2Go-User] md5 and sha1 checks

2017-04-03 Thread Jeff Sadowski
I was wondering if the person building the binaries could put those (md5
and sha1 sums) both on a page that is gpg signed?
Then as I get to know the person building the binaries and if the key
changes I can be suspicious of someone putting up another binary.
