Installing the Qt-based X2Go Client

MS Windows

Quick

Detailed

Download latest x2goclient for Windows and install. Administrator rights required.

:!: 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.

:!: The Windows installer is based on Nullsoft and thus can be called with “/S” (case-sensitive) to perform a silent installation.

Ubuntu / Debain

Quick

X2Go Client is part of Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 as well as Debian Wheezy. Install it using the software center or by following command:

GNU/Linux with installation from source tarball

The sources of this X2Go component are available as source tarballs.

Fedora

Warning: This is not a supported installation. Do NOT expect any support from the developers of X2Go, Fedora or Mandriva.

There are currently no Fedora packages for X2Go, but there are packages for Mandriva. For this installation all packages were downloaded from http://www.pbone.net.

  1. Start a terminal, go to a suitable folder, e g Download.
  2. Download packages for Mandriva (versions/file names may have changed):
    wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp.mandrivauser.de/rpm/GPL/2010.1/i586/release/x2goclient-3.01-3mud2010.1.i586.rpm
    wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp.mandrivauser.de/rpm/GPL/2010.1/i586/release/x2goclient-cli-3.0.1-3mud2010.1.noarch.rpm
    wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mandrakelinux/devel/cooker/i586/media/contrib/release/nxproxy-3.3.0-3mdv2010.1.i586.rpm
    wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mandrakelinux/devel/cooker/i586/media/contrib/release/libxcomp3-3.3.0-3mdv2010.1.i586.rpm
    wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mandrakelinux/devel/cooker/i586/media/main/release/libjpeg8-1.1.1-1-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm
  3. Install most of the packages with yum (automatically solves dependencies):
    sudo yum install nxproxy-3.3.0-3mdv2010.1.i586.rpm libxcomp3-3.3.0-3mdv2010.1.i586.rpm libjpeg8-1.1.1-1-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm perl perl-Proc-Simple perl-Term-ReadPassword qt qt-x11
  4. Install packages with unmet dependecies (“perl-base” in Mandriva, Fedora calls it “perl”):
    sudo rpm -ivh --nodeps x2goclient-3.01-3mud2010.1.i586.rpm x2goclient-cli-3.0.1-3mud2010.1.noarch.rpm
