Re: [X2Go-User] x2go on RHEL7/CentOS7
Oh, you mean instead of doing Ctrl-Alt-T I should go to the main X2Go client window and click the Terminate button in the bottom right of the dialog in the left hand pane. Yes, that does seem to clean it up correctly. I don't understand why there is a difference between doing that and doing Ctrl-Alt-T -- Paul Raines (http://help.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu) On Wed, 5 Aug 2015 4:51pm, Robert Dinse wrote: Odd, if I bring up the original login screen it shows the session. -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Eskimo North Linux Friendly Internet Access, Shell Accounts, and Hosting.

Doing Ctrl-Alt-T to terminate in the windows client will make the windows
close but doesn't clean up the session on the server. Reconnecting still just
connects you to a empty background screen.
Doing a logout on the MATE desktop locally works just fine.
I am testing on pretty freshly installed and updated server and on a new user
where I first wiped out all settings by removing all dot files/directories
This is what is still running on the server as the user after trying
to logout over X2Go

closing the window and then try to reconnect it fails or just
takes you right back to the blank background. One can force
terminate the session with x2goterminate-session to clear it out
and then get a clean login again, but I don't really want my

So my question is really about the MATE issue which I would prefer to use.
Anyone have any clues as to what might be going on or a fix?
I'm not sure if it's Mate or X2Go but when I first installed both X2Go
and
Mate on CentOS7 and tested, all was good.
Now it's broken for me also but somewhat differently. When I logout it
just hangs with the background image that I used on my desktop. So I use
control-alt-M to and then click on the white seal or whatever that animal is,
and then when I get the start-up screen back, I select terminate to terminate
the session.
Now I tried the same thing on Scientific Linux 7, which like Centos7 is
derived from Enterprise Linux 7, and it still works correctly, so whatever is
broken isn't X2Go or Mate, but rather something specific to CentOS 7.

Re: [X2Go-User] where are settings stored on Windows
The user has 4.0.3.2 installed on Win7 box. The connection problem turns out to be linux server side. After killing all x2go related processon that box and then restarting x2gocleansessions service the connections worked. We deleted the registry key and that wiped all the sessions we had defined. But the UI issue continues. We create a new session. Then go to the Session Managment dialog and all buttons are greyed out but the top one to create new sessions even after selecting the session on the left. We can double click on the session on the left to edit. So the only thing we cannot do someway or other is delete (well, beside wiping out everything in the registry key). This could have been the case even before the profile migration and we just didn't notice before. So that might be a red herring. Anyway, the user has no need to delete sessions at this time so is fine with the way things are now. I am the IT manager for the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging which is a joint research center of Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Harvard HST and MIT BCS. We have over 300+ Linux workstations at users desks for our imaging analysis. Up until around 2008 users would use VNC for remote graphical access, then we started using freeNX and more recently X2Go.

Does this new domain have a lot of groups? Does X2Go work for new users there? We recently saw an issue where having a large number of groups (no matter whether the user was a member of them or not) caused a significant delay during the login phase. This issue has been identified and fixed, however, I would have to check with Mihai Moldovan if those fixes are already part of a release. [...] Whe she tries to start a session it just hangs forever on status connecting with no text in the log/debug window. Did you wait maybe 5 minutes, or do you have a shorter definition of "forever"? ;-) The issue described above caused a delay of maybe 3 minutes for that particular user, though that heavily depends on the number of groups involved, so it might take even longer for you. If you go into edit sessions several buttons are grayed out include delete so we cannot delete the old sessions. If I make a new session it still does not work. This, however, sounds like the user doesn't have the proper access rights on the registry tree mentioned by Mike DePaulo. Also, note that you can run x2goclient.exe with the parameter - --portable, and it will create a sessions file just like on OS X and Linux. BTW, nice to see that Harvard is using X2Go. Care to tell us a little bit about how you're using it?
