    Running a lightweight GUI on your vps via X2Go

    @lixdesic since you can't unlock the screensaver, open up a terminal ssh session (e.g., with putty) and kill the screensaver process. For example, run "ps -ef | grep screensaver" to find the pid. Note that I don't not know which screensaver you have running To disable the screensaver, use...

    Running a lightweight GUI on your vps via X2Go

    Any chances of me doing it? Yes. However, I want to fix some bugs 1st though. I'm primarily the maintainer of the x2goclient for windows. For example, right now GNOME3 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS  requires a workaround. It's not an issue with x2goclient, but I still want to fix it ASAP. I am a volunteer...

    Running a lightweight GUI on your vps via X2Go

    Good news. x2goclient is available in raspbian. http://imgur.com/a/1SJ44#0 I forgot about this fact: x2goclient (including the dependency "nx-libs") is available in debian (repo: "main") and in ubuntu (repo "universe"). Therefore, x2goclient is available in raspbian. It's an older version in...

    I'll have to look into a raspberry pi ubuntu PPA. I'll also have to look into having our debian build system produce armhf wheezy packages; that should cover raspbian. The person who setup our debian build system is extremely busy right now though. He (Mike Gabriel) is under contract to get...

    Running a lightweight GUI on your vps via X2Go

    To clarify, X2Go Server needs to be used with X2Go Client. There are multiple implementations of VNC, a VNC server can normally be used with any VNC client. The main difference between X2Go and VNC is the internal design. We use client-side rendering, they use server-side rendering. I could go...

    Running a lightweight GUI on your vps

    As an X2Go Developer, this warms my heart. To be fair, VNC can be tunneled over SSH also. We have basically the same performance as NX3 because we use their code for graphics and input. X2Go, NX3, RDP, SPICE and Citrix all use client-side rendering. VNC uses server-side rendering instead...

    Running a lightweight GUI on your vps via X2Go

    Hi, I'm an X2Go developer and my friend introduced me to this forum. I thought I'd share my alternative to this thread, which uses VNC instead of X2Go. In my case, I tested it on Amazon EC2's Free Tier with Ubuntu 14.04. For XFCE4 (ideal for a VPS because it has a small footprint): 1. On...
