Usage

The x2goclient application is the client part of X2go. It should be installed on a client computer to access an X2go server running on another machine (Note: currently, localhost access between client and server, that is X2go client==server is not supported).

The x2goclient application provides you the possibility to access the remote running desktop, exchange files with it and redirect sound from the session on the server to your local client. x2goclient can be started via the Desktop Environment's application menu (section: Internet) or by using the command line in a shell (simply type x2goclient there and hit enter).

Quite a few options are available from command line, some of them cannot be configured from within the GUI. For further information on command line options, please check the man page of x2goclient: man x2goclient.

Graphical interface

After the installation of x2goclient (Tarball, Debian, Ubuntu, MacOS, Windows) an application link can be found in the menu of your Desktop Environment. It will be integrated inside the topic “Internet” (Debian/Ubuntu).

Keyboard Shortcuts

X2Go follows the general keyboard shortcuts of the NX client. In particular:

  • Ctrl + Alt + T: terminate session / disconnect
  • Ctrl + Alt + F: toggle fullscreen/windowed
  • Ctrl + Alt + M: minimize or maximize fullscreen window
  • Ctrl + Alt + arrow keys: move viewport (when remote screen is bigger than client window)
