-===== General minimal guide/steps to install x2goserver on Ubuntu ===== 
  
-After adding the x2go PPA (see above) on your remote Ubuntu "desktop" server there are a few general steps to follow to install the x2goserver  for use.+===== Behind a Proxy? ===== 
 +If you are on a site that uses HTTP proxy to connect to websites on the internet, make sure you run the following commands first before adding the X2Go PPA to your APT package management system (replace ''my.proxy.server'' and ''my_proxy_port'' with your local site's proxy settings):
  
-Start a ssh terminal session with the remote Ubuntu server. +<code bash> 
- +export http_proxy=http://<my.proxy.server>:<my_proxy_port>/ 
-If you have not copied ssh keys (see x2go wiki section called **Advanced x2go Setups**) in order to use automatic login by user to the remote server without having to enter their password and instead you plan to require remote users to enter both their UserID and Password on their x2go client then you will need to edit/modify ///etc/ssh/sshd_config// and change the entry for //ChallengeResponseAUthentication// from NO to YES then restart ssh (sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart). +export https_proxy=http://<my.proxy.server>:<my_proxy_port>/
- +
-The next step is to install the primary x2goserver packages. +
- +
-<code> +
-$ sudo apt-get install x2goserver x2goserver-xsession+
 </code> </code>
  
-NOTE:  you do __not__ have to install the x2goserver-xsession package if you plan to use only the x2goserver Published App feature for remote users.
