close #208 reopen #348 forcemerge #348 #481 thanks Hi Robert,
thanks for testing X2Go so intensively. I highly appreciate your wishlist (I am one of the core devs). So that it does not get lost, do one thing for a start [1]. Unfortunately, I don't have a Mac and I don't use one. The Mac code is the part of X2Go Client that is yearning for a constant maintainer. It is not unmaintained, but only maintained on customer request.
Submit every wishlist item as a separate bug. Please see below for my comments on the individual issues (I will also check, if a bug already exists for that issue).

:-)
The X2Go client differs in behavior from other NX type clients in that on systems with virtual desktops or workspaces, they keyboard sequence usedto switch workspaces, control+arrow key in the case of MacOS or control+alt+arrow key in the case of Ubuntu, do not work within the client, so when I have the client full-screened, I can't switch workspaces except by first minimizing the client. With OpenNX, NoMachine Player, or Remmina, I can use the keyboard short-cuts to switch work spaces without minimizing the clientand that is much more convenient.
This definitely is a new bug. Maito: [email protected] Subject: <fill-in-with-some-short-explanation> Body: Package: nxagent Version: 3.5.0.27 Severity: minor <the above description> The problem is very probably burried in NX code somewhere.
Then on Mac there are further problems. On MacOS 10.7.5, without XQuarts, X2Go Client is completely unusable. Keyboard translations are severely messedup and it is unstable and usually dies or locks up within fifteen seconds.
There are several bugs tackling this... http://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=487 http://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=481 http://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=112 http://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=252
With XQuartz installed, behavior is much better, keyboard translation is
Actually, X2Go Client is not intended to be used without XQuartz installed. We don't bundle it, because the release cycle of XQuartz is very short and we recommend having it updated as a separated application (rather then us having to rebuild/rebundle X2Go Client whenever XQuartz comes up with a new release).

correct with one exception, the state of CAPS LOCK is inverted, that is, when CAPS LOCK is on, I get upper and lower case characters, when it is off, I getUPPER CASE only. It's a minor nusiance and most notable when switching between X2Go client and other windows where I have to keep toggling the CAPS LOCK.
Please check the above bugs if this actually has already been reported.
Another behaviorial issue with MacOS is that it will only do full screen if I enable the X-server root window, however this breaks many things MacOS,
This is a new issue, I guess. Submit it as a new bug, please.
and so it is essentially not usable in full screen. I do not have to do this with other NX clients, they all go full screen without using the root window and would very much desire this behavior also with X2Go client.
Can you let us know what nxproxy version these other NX clients ship? Can you also launch such a session and check the NX options set for such a session? That would be awesome!
On MacOS, sound does not work. It works on Windows and Linux fine, but
not MacOS 10.7.5. It doesn't produce any errors, but doesn't
produce any sound
either. There are no choices for audio subsystems so nothing to
attempt to tweak.
AFAIK, X2Go Client for Mac OS X never had sound supported. Others may correct me if I am wrong.
This isn't a bitch list, just a wish list. I really appreciate the work
you folks have put into X2Go, aesthetically, I find it far superior to
NoMachine, it also connects far more reliably, and working sound is nice.
:-)As I said above, the Mac part of the code in X2Go Client really could need some love. (Or financial input, which actually is an option we are working on at the moment).
I've got the server end working on Centos 6, Centos 7, Fedora 20, Scientific Linux 6, Scientific Linux 7, OpenSuse, Mint, Ubuntu, and until very recently Debian Wheezy.
until very recently... means: now it is broken / or now it is finally working?
I've also got freenx-server working on all of these except Debian.
Cool. They work in parallel? On the same machines?
For those of you who have experienced problems with the newer distributions move to compositing window managers that don't work with X2Go,check out mate-desktop.org. Mate is a fork of gnome2 that works perfectly withX2Go and all of the above mentioned Linux distros.
Actually, I am the maintainer of MATE in Debian (/me is a Debian Developer and also X2Go upstream). And I have arranged that the developer pushing MATE into Ubuntu will meet up with us at the X2Go Gathering (first weekened of November in Linux Hotel, Essen, Germany).
Hope to gain more input from you!!! Mike -- DAS-NETZWERKTEAM mike gabriel, herweg 7, 24357 fleckeby fon: +49 (1520) 1976 148 GnuPG Key ID 0x25771B31 mail: [email protected], http://das-netzwerkteam.de freeBusy: https://mail.das-netzwerkteam.de/freebusy/m.gabriel%40das-netzwerkteam.de.xfb
