Please make sure that you have added the X2Go repository appropriate for your system to your package management system. The required steps are described here:

• Debian GNU/Linux
• Ubuntu GNU/Linux

The sources of this X2Go component are available as source tarball under this URL:

http://code.x2go.org/releases/source/x2goclient

Windows binaries can be retrieved from:

http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/x2goclient

MacOS X binaries can be retrieved from:

http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-macosx/x2goclient

The x2goclient package will install x2goclient on your GNU/Linux system and will make sure, that every needed package will be installed as dependency.

$ aptitude install x2goclient

You can now start X2goClient by typing x2goclient at the command-line or you'll find it inside the “Internet” section of your menu inside your graphical desktop environment.

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

Windows versions and recommended clients:

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.

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).

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)
