PyHoca-CLI is a Python command-line client for X2go based on python-x2go.

To install PyHoca on your System you will need to add the PyHoca Repository information.

Start open a Terminal window and execute the following command:

  $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:x2go/ppa

This PyHoca APT repository will provide the following Python X2go related packages:

python-x2go - the actual Python X2go module
pyhoca-cli - a command line X2go client written in Python
pyhoca-gui - an X2go client GUI written in wxPython (//contributed by and co-developed with Dick Kniep from LinDix in the Netherlands//)
python-gevent backport - (for Debian squeeze and Ubuntu lucid), make sure you have version 0.13.0 or higher installed on your system. 

You can also install by adding the appropriate entry to your /etc/apt/sources.list file and then performing an apt-get update.

Select using your Distribution (debian or ubuntu) and version (squeeze/sid, lucid/maverick):

  deb http://packages.das-netzwerkteam.de/debian squeeze main
  deb http://packages.das-netzwerkteam.de/debian sid main
  deb http://packages.das-netzwerkteam.de/ubuntu lucid main
  deb http://packages.das-netzwerkteam.de/ubuntu maverick main

After adding one of the above lines you will need to update your system with the new Repository information by starting a Terminal and executing the following:

  $ sudo apt-get update

then you can install the PyHoca Command Line application:

  $ sudo apt-get install pyhoca-cli 

- -password xxxxxxxx

where: xxxxxxxx is your password

Security Note PyHoca does not transmit or send your Password to the desktop server as clear text.

PyHoca-CLI is similar to the Linux rdesktop command/program. rdesktop is a Linux remote desktop client used to connect to Windows machines.

To start PyHoca open a Terminal window and execute the command:

• $ pyhoca-cli - -password xxxxxxxx

Note: not ordered by development priority
