Installing the Qt-based X2Go Client
MS Windows
Quick
Download X2Go for MS Windows™ and install.
Detailed
Download latest x2goclient for Windows and install. Administrator rights required for a normal install.
Older versions are still available.
Versions prior to 3.99.0.2 may have problems connecting to x2goserver if an antivirus product is installed on the client (even if it is disabled/inactive). If you cannot use 3.99.0.2 or later, try using version 3.01-13.
- Open the X2Go Client setup.exe in an archive manager such as 7-zip.
- Extract all the contents to a new folder of your choosing. Let's assume this folder is called “x2goclient”.
- Move the “pulse” and “VcXsrv” folders from under x2goclient\$_OUTDIR\ to directly under x2goclient\ .
- Delete the x2goclient\$PLUGINSDIR\ folder and the x2goclient\$_OUTDIR\ folder.
- Once finished, your main folder should have dozens of files directly in it, the “pulse” subfolder, and the “VcXsrv” subfolder.
OS X
Xquartz (required by X2Go Client)
The X2Go OS X client uses the OS X X11 server which can be obtained from here.
- The X11 server must be configured to accept remote sessions in its preferences.
- One must also enable a root screen in X11 preferences if one wants truly full screen view in X2Go.
- After installation of XQuartz, the user has to log off and log on again.
- Read further hints here…
To make clipboard copy and paste - ⌘+V work normally use this one command:
echo "*VT100.translations: #override Meta <KeyPress> V: insert-selection(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) \n" > ~/.Xdefaults
X2Go Client
Download the appropriate disk image from Download X2Go for OS X™.
If there are multiple options, choose the one closest to your current operating system's version number. Do not try to use a build that is targeted at a higher OS X version number then you currently have.
Afterwards, open the disk image and “install” x2goclient.app as you would any other App Bundle by dragging it into /Applications/.
System Preferences Config
To use print, local media sharing, and sound, one must also enable Remote Login in the System Preferences.
