Packages for Debian GNU/Linux

Adding the needed Debian Repository to your system

To get started you'll need to configure your local system to access the official X2go Debian repository. Please keep in mind that this installation manual will guide you through the installation on a Debian squeeze (wheezy, sid) system. The repository will offer you packages for i386 and amd64 architectures.

Commands printed inside the grey boxes have to be entered in a command line client (please use /bin/bash as operating shell).

Before starting to edit your system configuration, you'll need to add the needed GPG keys of the repository. Please switch to an user which has administrator privileges on your system in your preferred command line client:

$ su -

The following commands will ensure that your system will be able to work with the repository archive key. We have also provided our archive key and the X2go maintainers' keys in a keyring package called x2go-keyring (see below). If you choose to install that package you can skip these first steps…

$ gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys E1F958385BFE2B6E
$ gpg -a --export E1F958385BFE2B6E | apt-key add - 

Please create and edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/x2go.list with your preferred editor (in this example “vim”) and add the X2go repository (binaries and sources) as a couple of new lines (example for Debian squeeze):

$ vim /etc/apt/sources.list.d/x2go.list

In this case the lines which have to be added to “/etc/apt/sources.list” are:
Dark blue boxes like the one below will show you the content of text files.

# X2go Repository
deb http://packages.x2go.org/debian squeeze main
# X2go Repository (sources)
deb-src http://packages.x2go.org/debian squeeze main

Please perform an update on your debian package database:

$ aptitude update

After the update you should be able to access the X2go packages via the apt command. As a first action you should install our ''x2go-keyring package and refresh the apt cache:

$ aptitude install x2go-keyring && aptitude update

Now you can search for X2go related package that are now available for your APT system:

$ aptitude 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.
