Hi all, Has anybody succeeded on connecting on a system that has a recent version of gnome (3.8 or 3.10)?
I tried it in Ubuntu 13.10 and in Fedora 19 and Fedora 20 prerealese. For Ubuntu 13.10 I've used the x2go* packages found in launchpad and for Fedora 19 and 20 the official packages. In Ubuntu there is a gnome-fallback.session file that is link to gnome-flashback.session and there is a gnome-fallback-compiz.session that is link to gnome-flashback-compiz.session The first one uses metacity and should work with x2go and the latter uses compiz, so it probably needs 3d support. If I try to do: gnome-session --session gnome-fallback or gnome-session --session gnome-flashback I get a black screen and in the ~/.xsession-x2go-errors I see lines like this: Script for cjkv started at run_im. Script for default started at run_im. Script for cjkv started at run_im. Script for default started at run_im. gnome-session-is-accelerated: No composite extension. gnome-session-check-accelerated: Helper exited with code 256 gnome-session-is-accelerated: No composite extension. gnome-session-check-accelerated: Helper exited with code 256 There are complains that the fallback desktop in 13.10 requires 3d acceleration: http://askubuntu.com/questions/361617/does-gnome-fallback-desktop-require-accelerated-graphics-in-13-10 The required componets for "GNOME Flashback (No effects)" are these: RequiredComponents=gnome-panel;gnome-settings-daemon;gnome-screensaver;metacity; If I create a script in /usr/local/bin: user@ubuntu-desktop:/usr/local/bin$ cat startmyubuntu #!/bin/bash gnome-panel& gnome-settings-daemon& gnome-screensaver& metacity And try to run it in the x2go command I manage to pop-up a crippled desktop but I don't think this is the way to go. In Fedora things are even worse. The available gnome sessions are gnome and gnome-classic and both seem to depend on mutter. This command ends up in black screen: gnome-session --session gnome-classic The required components for gnome classic are: RequiredComponents=gnome-shell-classic;gnome-settings-daemon;nautilus-classic; I have manually installed metacity and tried to execute a script that loaded the required components [root@localhost bin]# cat startmyubuntu #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/gnome-shell --mode=classic & /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon-localeexec & nautilus --no-default-window --force-desktop & metacity & wait But the desktop is even more crippled. Is GNOME still supported by x2go or should we consider it abandoned like we did with Unity when Unity2d was dropped?
