Packages for Ubuntu are provided for several platforms (amd64/i386, lucid/maverick/natty/oneiric.
From our nightly-builds on Ubuntu Launchpad we regularly copy package to the Launchpad PPA: ppa:x2go/stable
.
Use the following commands to add the ppa:x2go/stable
as a package source to your local system.
Before doing so, you might like to learn about apt-get, sudo and ppas
Alternatively you can also use the Ubuntu software center.
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:x2go/stable $ sudo apt-get update
You might have to install add-apt-repository
first using:
$ sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
The x2go packages should now be listed calling:
$ apt-cache 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.
If you are on a site that uses a 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):
$ export http_proxy=http://<my.proxy.server>:<my_proxy_port>/ $ export https_proxy=http://<my.proxy.server>:<my_proxy_port>/
