Re: [X2Go-User] MATE desktop (Ubuntu Mate 15.10) cannot access in fullscreen mode
Robert, Thank you for the advise, but the are complications... - I use this remote desktop from two different machines. One has native desktop resolution of 4k (didn't have a chance to try your workarounds on it yet) and the other one has native resolution of 1680x1050 I tested your workaround for fullscreen on 1680x1050 machine and it almost worked. I can select closest mode of 1600x900 and panels work OK. But when I set resolution to native 1680x1050 they (panels) are no longer accessible. I tried to change resolution in GUI and via xrandr -- result is the same. I noticed one fact that list of modes in Fedora (hosting machine where X2Go client is running), as reported by xrandr is different from the list of modes reported on the remote host, but both show 1680x1050 as an option. The only difference would be that in Fedora it comes with 59.95*+ rate but in the remote host it comes with 60.00 Could this be a reason for native resolution not to work in fullscreen mode as expected (with accessible panels)? - If I configure the session to use entire display, in my case Display 1 (the only available option), I can use Ctrl+Alt+ to switch workspaces on the remote host but not switch between applications.

[X2Go-User] MATE desktop (Ubuntu Mate 15.10) cannot access in fullscreen mode
Hi All, I am running X2Go server 64-bit on Ubuntu Mate 15.10 from PPA repository: x2goserver: 4.0.1.19 x2goserver-extensions: 4.0.1.19 x2goserver-xsession: 4.0.1.19 This Ubuntu host is virtualized in ESXi 6.0 environment with open-vm-tools. I am using X2Goclient (X2Go Client v. 4.0.5.0 (Qt - 4.8.7) 64 bit) on Fedora 23 with Gnome 3 desktop. Here is the *problem*: - When I connect to X2Go server in fullscreen mode, both top and bottom panels are not accessible. The rest is OK. - When I connect in Window mode (various resolutions) I can access both panels but unfortunately cannot use Alt+Tab to switch programs inside the Ubuntu (it is getting intercepted by Fedora). Any help is appreciated. Thank you. -- Simon ___ x2go-user mailing list x2go-user@lists.x2go.org http://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-user
Re: [X2Go-User] x2goserver on Ubuntu Mate 15.04 with 4k monitor and high font-rendering DPI
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.

Re: [X2Go-User] x2goserver on Ubuntu Mate 15.04 with 4k monitor and high font-rendering DPI
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. -- Simon Am 21.05.2015 um 20:05 schrieb Simon Baev: > > Hello, > > > > I'm looking for a way to run *x2goserver* on *Ubuntu Mate 15.04* > > which is living on computer with *4k monitor* attached.

[X2Go-User] x2goserver on Ubuntu Mate 15.04 with 4k monitor and high font-rendering DPI
Hello, I'm looking for a way to run *x2goserver* on *Ubuntu Mate 15.04* which is living on computer with *4k monitor* attached. I changed *DPI* settings in Control Center -> Appearance -> Fonts -> Details to *168* to let all applications look good when I work on that machine locally. When I connect to this machine using *x2goclient* running on another Ubuntu Mate 15.04 (attached monitor has resolution of 1680x1050, fullscreen mode) I am seeing *huge* fonts (as expected) because it also uses dpi of 168 for that remote connection. *My question*: would it be possible to run *pre-connection* (and then post-connection) script(s) to temporally change DPI to "normal" value of 96 before and recover it back to 168 upon completion of the x2go session? I guess it can be done by running "*gsettings set org.mate.font-rendering dpi 96*" command but I'm not sure where to include this command. And also I'm not sure how to protect against abnormal session termination... what if session will terminate without recovering DPI back to 168? Thanks. -- Simon ___ x2go-user mailing list x2go-user@lists.x2go.org http://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-user
[X2Go-User] x2gobroker-wsgi on Ubuntu 14.04 + Apache2 + libapache2-mod-wsgi
Hi All, I cannot make broker-wsgi to work. What I've done: 1. I installed x2gobroker-wsgi from package on publicly available host 2. I installed Apache2 and libapache2-mod-wsgi 3. I removed /etc/apache2/conf.d/x2gobroker-wsgi 4. I edited /etc/apache2/sites-available/x2gobroker to 1. replace SSL certificate data with the real one which is installed on the server 2. replace value of ServerName directive to match real hostname of the server (originally it was set to "localhost") 5. Restarted apache2 service When I connect to the server in a web browser (using hostname listed with ServerName directive) via https:// I'm getting webpage which belongs to default vhost, i.e. content of index.html file located in /var/www When I try to navigate to https:///plain/inifile I'm getting 404 I guess I cannot figure out how to deal with wsgi... because for me it seems like Apache is looking for plain/inifile located in /var/www and totally ignores wsgi business. Any help is greatly appreciated. -- Simon ___ x2go-user mailing list x2go-user@lists.x2go.org http://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-user
