X2go packages for Ubuntu GNU/Linux

Packages for Ubuntu are provided for several platforms (amd64/i386, lucid/maverick/natty/oneiric) From our nightly-builds on Ubuntu Launchpad we regularly copy package to the Launchpad PPA: ppa:x2go/stable.

Use the follwing commands to add the ppa:x2go/stable as a package source to your local system. Before doing so, you might like to learn about apt-get, sudo and ppas

Alternatively you can also use the Ubuntu software center.

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:x2go/stable
$ sudo apt-get update

The x2go packages should now be listed calling:

$ sudo apt-cache search x2go

Congratulations, you are now able to access the X2go packages. You may continue by installing x2goserver, x2goclient or pyhoca-gui or any other of the available packages.

Proxy

If you are on a site that uses a HTTP proxy to connect to websites on the internet, make sure you run the following commands first before adding the X2go PPA to your APT package management system (replace my.proxy.server and my_proxy_port with your local site's proxy settings):

$ export http_proxy=http://<my.proxy.server>:<my_proxy_port>/
$ export https_proxy=http://<my.proxy.server>:<my_proxy_port>/
