The x2goserver
package (Debian/Ubuntu) provides the server-side core of X2go. If you want to run the legacy X2go client (x2goclient) on the client-side systems then the installation of this package is sufficient.
In May 2011 we have add an x2goserver-extensions
package (Debian/Ubuntu) that we consider as a namespace for X2go server contributions. For example, the Python X2go implementation requires some scripts available in this package. If you work on coding some other X2go client implementation you are invited to contribute your server extensions within this namespace.
The base x2goserver
and also the X2go server extensions are basically a collection of Bash and Perl scripts that take care over X2go server session management and communication between client and server.
X2go server currently uses NXv3 based libraries and tools for the backend implementation of X2go (graphical compression & caching for low bandwidth connections).
The individual x2goserver
scripts do have (rudimentary) man pages. Some of the X2go server scripts are used internally (by other X2go server scripts), others are designed to be available to X2go client implementations (e.g. x2goruncommand
, x2gosuspend-session
, x2goterminate-session
, etc.).
The latest status of the X2go server's manual pages can be viewed via the gitweb tool of X2go's Git: http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goserver.git;a=tree;f=x2goserver/.build_man2html/html/man8
The latest status of the X2go server extension's manual pages can found here: http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goserver.git;a=tree;f=x2goserver-extensions/.build_man2html/html/man8
REQUEST TO X2go USERS: For the improvement of the X2go server manual pages we request everyone's help here.
