You might have to install add-apt-repository
first.
To install add-apt-repository
on Ubuntu 10.04 or 12.04:
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
To install add-apt-repository
on Ubuntu 14.04:
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
Once add-apt-repository
is installed, run these commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:x2go/stable sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install x2goserver x2goserver-xsession
First add the X2Go ppa repository for Ubuntu.
After adding the X2Go PPA to your remote Ubuntu “desktop” server the next step is to install the packages x2goserver
and x2goserver-xsession
:
sudo apt-get install x2goserver x2goserver-xsession
Add our X2Go Debian Repository.
sudo apt-get install x2goserver x2goserver-xsession
Currently X2Go cannot connect to an openssh server compiled with the HPN patch. To make sure x2goserver works on your Gentoo server, you must recompile net-misc/openssh with HPN support disabled. Add the following line to /etc/portage/packages.use:
net-misc/openssh -hpn
Then recompile net-misc/openssh, update the configuration file, and restart the sshd server, as follows:
emerge -1 net-misc/openssh dispatch-conf /etc/init.d/sshd restart
No additional repositories required:
sudo yum install x2goserver
Add the EPEL repository:
Check that you have activated the “optional” channel:
sudo rhn-channel -l
If the optional channel for your base channel is not active, activate it.
sudo rhn-channel --add -c rhel-x86_64-server-optional-7
Or use the RHNS web interface to activate the channel “RHEL Server Optional”
Then
sudo yum install x2goserver
There are two sources for X2Go packages for RHEL 6 - Fedora EPEL and OBS. Follow one of the following two links to configure the repository of your choice.
Add the X2Go repo to your yum configuration.
Check that you have activated the “optional” channel:
sudo rhn-channel -l
If the optional channel for your base channel is not active, activate it.
sudo rhn-channel --add -c rhel-x86_64-server-optional-6
Currently, even in the optional channel, there is no official package for sshfs and it is not (yet?) included in the X2Go repo. Thus it has to be downloaded form an alternate source:
sudo yum install fuse fuse-libs wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/fuse-sshfs/fuse-sshfs-2.2-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm sudo rpm -i --nosignature fuse-sshfs-2.2-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
URL to most recent EPEL repo installation package available here
wget http://mirror01.th.ifl.net/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm sudo rpm -i epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm sudo yum install fuse-sshfs
You should now be able to install the x2goserver
package:
sudo yum install x2goserver
if you are installing from EPEL6 or EPEL7, install the x2goserver-xsession
package also:
sudo yum install x2goserver-xsession
Add the X2Go repo to your yum configuration using tag RHEL_5
.
One approach is to download required packages manually. Yum will tell you what is needed, when you ask it to install x2goserver
.
rpm -i –nosignature perl-File-BaseDir-0.03-1.el5.noarch.rpm perl-Sys-Syslog-0.27-1.el5.x86_64.rpm
rpm -i –nosignature fuse-sshfs-2.2-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm fuse-libs-2.7.4-8.el5.x86_64.rpm fuse-2.7.4-8.el5.x86_64.rpm
You should now be able to install the x2goserver
package:
yum install x2goserver
Unfortunately, in my case I get an error when x2goserver
is being installed:

Despite being installed x2goserver is dysfunctional afterwards. On connection it yields an error:
