====== Using the x2go client in Yosemite ====== This was complex to get going, and now that there is a fix for the opennx client, it's probably a better bet, but in case you want to try, here's where I got to: - Logging in from the client sometimes fails after the server has been rebooted. This seems to be a problem with a left-over lx terminal socket file that doesn't get cleaned up properly. To fix it, I used ls -a /tmp rm /tmp/.lxterminal-socket:- - Keyboard mappings get messed up. To fix this, I used two separate hints. The first is from [[http://daniel-lange.com/archives/45-Fixing-FreeNX-NoMachine-NX-keyboard-glitches-e.g.-ALTGr.html|Daniel Lange]]: First, on your mac, open an xterm (by starting up xquartz, which you can do easily by starting the x2goclient). In that terminal do xmodmap -pke > localxmodmap Then copy (e.g. by sftp or scp) that localxmodmap to your server. In your home directory, check if there is already a .Xmodmap file. If there is, you may need to merge the new one with it - sorry, can't help with that. If there isn't, copy localxmodmap to .Xmodmap. However you're not finished. Now (thanks to [[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7018775/keymap-issues-with-nx-from-mac-os-x-lion-to-ubuntu|ato on stackoverflow]]), you need to append to the .Xmodmap file: ! ! Now reset all the modifiers too ! clear shift clear lock clear control clear mod1 clear mod2 clear mod3 clear mod4 clear mod5 add shift = Shift_L Shift_R add lock = Caps_Lock add control = Control_L Control_R add mod1 = Alt_L Alt_R add mod2 = Meta_L Meta_R So far, almost all applications seem to work with this. The exception is virtualbox, which still has (for me) corrupted keyboard settings.
